Do you want me to scan the code again for optimizations?  I have found quite a few i have missed.

Just saying, this project is still alive. I'm just totally rewriting my physics system so there are boxes and walls that move and other crap like that.

That would rule. I hope it won't give you too much trouble, though. The game is already pretty great now, although this would be a great addition.

Seconded. Also, shouldn't this topic be stickied?

Okay, here's the attributes assigned to each object:
To add an object, you need to specify 6 arguments:
initial x, initial y, width, height, gravity direction, and lock to player gravity (whether or not it is affected by the player's gravity)

the physics system then adds some other attributes:
terminal velocity and mass are calculated using width and height (everything is the same density! ), x velocity, y velocity, and whether or not it is being held onto by the player.

I'm making it so that the player can push all objects around, but they can only carry around a 2 by 2 block.
Some objects will retain their gravity direction even if the player changes gravity, but other objects like doors will be affected by the player's gravity direction (gravity puzzles!)

I'm working on it, but it might take me a while.

I'm also going to totally change my tilemapper. I'm fairly certain I can make it run far faster than it goes in the versions I've released. I'm still debating whether to try Runer112's horizontal/vertical method, but I'm sure I could get it to work if I spend some time and effort.
Also I'm hungry.

EDIT: I've been debating using cellular automata, but to a limited extent (won't slow it down too much) since now that you can push blocks around, puzzles might be feasable. I'd have to get it to work with tilemapping, however.
Or...maybe i'll just keep it around for special effects - sparks and falling dust for the "ruined" second part of the game?

Sounds really cool!  Good luck!

sounds great   keep up the good work

I'm not sure if I get this. Can your player now drop boxes to solve puzzles. Also are these boxes affected by gravity the same way the player is.

Cool, but do these objects slow the game down signifigantly. Also is this game in normal or full mode.
