Engine now supports multiple levels.

#gamedev #SFML

Level resets when you fall off screen.

#gamedev #SFML

Added spikes.

#gamedev #SFML

Added platforms that you can jump onto from the bottom, but proper collision detection still needs to be worked on.

#gamedev #SFML

Added the first enemy. It just walks back in forth right now. It doesn't even take or do any damage, at the moment.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a second enemy. It just moves up and down.

#gamedev #SFML

Added HP (which you can't see) and sprite flicker when you get hit. I normally put stats like HP in the title bar before adding a HUD, but that didn't show up in my recording.

#gamedev #SFML

Added death sprites to the characters.

#gamedev #SFML

Enemies now flash red when hit.

#gamedev #SFML

Enemy now changes directions when at the edge of ledges.

#gamedev #SFML

Finally added sound effects.

#gamedev #SFML

And somehow they didn't show up in my recordings, despite me unmuting the desktop audio.

Alright, he is a recording with actual sound this time.

#gamedev #SFML

Player character can now look up and shoot up.

#gamedev #SFML

Created a new type of enemy. It moves in a sine curve. Though the movement needs some tweaking if it is going to spawn in groups like this.

#gamedev #SFML

Got somewhat of a better pattern.

#gamedev #SFML

Added hearts, though you still can't see the HP.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a basic HUD. It's just text right now, but I plan on replacing the HP text with an actual health bar.

Right now, I"m suffering from writer's block on enemy design because I can't come up with new enemy ideas. Maybe I should replay Kid Icarus for inspiration, but I don't want this to be a straight up clone of the game. I always try to come up with at least something different.

#gamedev #SFML

Added a Game Over and Title screen. Both are currently blank and are red and black respectively.
