Unicycle

A unicycle preset..
lots of cheese included.
(not the dairy variety)

Dont complain about it until you have read the comment.

Pretty cool... very attractive but not very responsive. Its a nice idea and pretty well implimented, my only major gripe is that the ground and sky take time to appear and, because of this, when the preset is first loaded the unicycle is magically hovering over the void. The other thing is that the wheel sometimes overlaps the landscape... not very often though. Its a nice preset though, the colours and shading are great, reminds me of a platform game.

well done doggy..
it was VERY influenced by elastomania and scorched earth... two all class games.

LOL! That's the funniest preset I've ever seen! 😁

I can just imagine a bunch of little kindergartners in the background singing: "Lalalalalalala......" 😛

Good job!

version 1.1 X)

Fixed aspect ratio and added an intro scene to counter j's "gripe"

=D

Hehe, that's pretty nifty.

Tip: If you want the unicycle to pitch properly, use the derivative of the slopes.

Great preset. Reminds me of this motocross DOS game back several years ago. Also reminds me of Uniracers on the Super Nintendo.

NOW WITH EXTRA CHEESE!

Fixed a few more bugs and did that angle thing

oh, and a suprise 😉

I could have sworn I posted a reply here... well, it was along the lines of:

intro = better;three unicycles = good;angle = fun;

Nice, I don't like the grey but overall it's still one of the most original presets well... ever, and it looks nice too 🙂. I just compared the first and the last version. The preset doubled in size (over 4 kb - over 8 kb)

XD toast! rofl

btw, what fps are you guys getting with this.. my computer is runnning tooo slooww.

13 fps @ 160 X 150 windowed.
One of the cutest presets I have ever see. The only problem I sopt with it that sometimes the angle of the unicycle increases so much that the upper part of the cycle dashes with the terrain.

If I ever get around to learning particle engines, I have a pretty good idea on how to make a good mario preset, but until then I'm stuck using texer to make an odd looking pixelated plumber. I also just got around to looking at the night version, that is awesome! It just seems to keep getting better and better!
sidd#
Hmm, my mario was going to use a number of texer images, corresponding with a numberr of single dot scopes. Eg, one for mario walking left, right, jumping, dieing.

For the terrain i was probably going to use more complicated shifting thing... like this one.

Particle Engines cant be simulated in AVS, they have to be faked using a random generator. I have made a particle-engine based program using OpenGl in C.
Zevensoft#
Well actually, particle engines are entirely possible, you just have to use a shitload of particle motion maths to recalculate everything each frame based on t. It's possible, but hard.
