v1.1: tweaks, levels

A browser game made in HTML5

Posted January 11, 2023 by pancelor

added some new hard(?) levels to a new post-win “bonus area”
- moved an old level into the bonus area
removed some cheese on the “secret nana” level
lots of small tweaks to animations, sounds, messages, etc
new [REDACTED] sprite! (you’ll notice it immediately if you’ve played past level 3 or so)
big optimization wins – puzzlescript now checks 564 rules per turn instead of 8235 rules per turn. that seems good! I didn’t profile anything so idk if it’s noticeable, but if your machine is slower or the level is larger, it might make things smoother.
- if you’re curious, I used to have player = climb or fall or stand or ... in the puzzlescript legend. I’ve changed it so that there’s a single transparent player object, and those visuals are now layered on top. something about that stops a combinatorial explosion of rules for checking every possible version of the player, somewhere in the middle of my movement/collision code
