Game?

[gmgaming]

We could do all of those like they are in Brawl if we use the right program.

Actually, it's not the program that's the issue. It's the fact keybaords are 104 buttons that can either be read as on or off. Now, you can do quite a bit here, you can check if they are pressed, check when they are pressed, when they are released, and really there's not much else.

Now, were we to go to game pads, then it's MUCH easier to implement, because of joysticks. They have metrics that read from -1 -> 0 -> 1 and a lot in between, depending on sensitivity level. So if we do that we've got two things going for it, however we drastically reduce our audience if we do that.

So uh, it doesn't matter if I'm using C, VB or Game Maker, it's not a limitation of the program, it's a limit of the 'controller'.

I could throw in gamepad support after a while, but lets get a format much easier tested first.

Also, since I'm going to take my time to at least provide the demo, tell me what you want in it.

As of right now:

Playable Characters
Paper Mario
Kirby

Controls
Standing
Walking
Normal A attack
Taunt

Stages
Final Destination - [Smithy's, unless he refuses permission]

As of right now anyhow, and it's still pretty buggy (hitboxes, damnit) so while I'm hammering this out, tell me what you want for the first demo, with the reminder the more you ask me to do the longer it'll take to do it.

I get it now, but ou could have the keyboard and the option of plugging in a 360 controller. When you start the game, you choose the controller (keyboard or 360 controller) by mouse, or, we could have no options, but both keyboard and 360 controller work at the same time. Also, I think we should have an online play where you can play against other people on the internet, but that will come last.

AI? lol
That may be asking too much

-Jumping; Double-jumping and the extra jumps that people like Kirby can do. -Jump-through platforms
-Running
-Maybe 1 special attack

This guy did it.
