Mit's Sprites and Such

[Mit]

double post but I've got some new stuff



and here's a HUD mockup


basically-
-the bar shows how much time you have left in the level
-you can pause the game without showing any options by clicking pause or pressing space
-the volume bar (which has a few other designs such as a "D" for dash or "P" for P-meter) acts as a P-meter, the longer you run the hold run the higher the volume goes
-the gear pauses the game, but also shows the options. you can click it or press enter to open it. it acts as the more traditional pause while the other is more of an easter egg
-the 2 screen size options switch the screen between 1x and 2x sizes. they can also be changed by pressing 1 or 2, respectively
-full screen activates full screen mode. not sure what keyboard key would activate it, maybe 3 or something
-the "video name" represents the name of the level
-the icon and channel name are for the character you're currently playing as. subscribers represent lives. might drop it down to 2 digits, but the 3 digits give it a good length I think
-the view count represents score, simply put
-the like/dislike bar represents health, as a health bar

basically, I tried to make a HUD that served as a decent reference to the YouTube video player, while also not getting in the way of the gameplay, hence why the "video" size is 320x240. I also have a version where the entire screen is 320x240, and the "video" size is 264x172, but the 320x240 version works better in terms of view size

I had an idea that a smaller health bar could appear over you when you take damage ala Kirby (Super Star Ultra I believe), so glancing back and forth becomes less tedious
