Flash Sonic Physics: Rate Them!

[BlueSin]

See last post for latest.

Well... here they are so far. What do you think?

Controls are:

Up: Look Up
Down: Crouch, Roll While Moving
Left: Walk/Run Left, Break While Running Right
Right: Walk/Run Right, Break While Running Left
Space: Jump
Down + Space: Charge
Down + Space ... Release Space: Launch

Please leave comments! Anyway they can be improved to better emulate genesis Sonic?

One of the better renditions I've seen, but it has a few bugs, mostly with hills and loop-de-loops. It's impossible to run up them without a boost, and even if you do boost it's hard. Jumping on a hill is hella bugged too, you either go nowhere or shoot into space. Also, Sonic accelerates a bit too slowly.

Eitherwise, very nice, keep tweaking and you'll have it perfectly. I gave it three but it's more like 3.5.

>>Jumping on a hill is hella bugged too, you either go nowhere or shoot into space.

Do you mean while on a hill? I noticed you tend to overshoot a bit, but I haven't had the problem of going nowhere, could you explain?

>>It's impossible to run up them without a boost

Well in the actual game (alpha) the levels are of course much bigger, so it's not that hard when you have a lot of momentum from running and downhill etc. In this demo, you have little running space. Maybe I'll tune down the friction a bit.

Thanks for comments!

When I ran up the loop-de-loop and jumped a little before it turned vertical, for instance, I shot out of the screen. The next time I did that I got flung back a bit. Nowhere was hyperbole.

 

[BlueSin]

Okay looks like I'll have to do some more tweaking.

I think what happened for the 'I shot out of the screen' is that you were about 90 degrees, then jumped, overshooting you to the jump direction (left in that case) and out of the screen on the left. Something like that or no? Don't know what to say about 'The next time I did that I got flung back a bit.' besides more tweaking must be done.

Though it is supposed to jump towards whatever way is opposite his feet.

Nice so far, you really have improved alot since you started this out long ago, keep up the good work.

 

[BlueSin]

Thanks!

Okay I tweaked acceleration & jump FireWarrio & all, tell me what you think now:

I noticed when you first start you can crouch but you cant use charge, take a step then you can, maybe fix that.

 

[BlueSin]

Damn I didn't think anyone would notice that.

Yeah i have to fix that.

updated breaking though: http://denvish.net/ulf/180207/39344_physdemo3.php

Very nice man

 

[Jindo]

Great stuff, very impressed with it so far .

 

[BlueSin]

Thanks, working on level design now.

 

[Tonks]

Yea, I'm very impressed with your improvement.

I think I hit a random bug, and I'm not really sure what happened. I jumped down the hole, and Sonic started moving all around the game. Like, poof, he's in one spot, then he's in another, then another. I couldn't control him when he was doing this.

 

[BlueSin]

Eh I don't know about that I'll have to look into it. But if you jump down the hole you should just fall forever.

Thanks for comment though.

What really gets me is when you jump, and you're in a spin, say you spin jump and come down on a ramp.

You stall for a bit, then stand up and slide down the reamp.
It would be nice if you rolled in the ball.

Have you seen the other sonic game?

 

[mase]

>>Have you seen the other sonic game?
A link would be nice

 

[InfectedWithDrew]

Well, it's better now, but still needs to emulate the original more. For instance, I tried standing still on the loop in different places to see how Sonic jumped, and what happened is the jumps are pretty much perpendicular to the angle you're at, which is wrong. Sonic should jump down more, even on a gentler angle. Oh, and at about, oh, 30 degrees or so, you jump vertically. Pretty random.

But now it's at a 4.

 

[BlueSin]

>>the jumps are pretty much perpendicular to the angle you're at, which is wrong

Isn't that how its like in sonic the hedgehog 3?

I have a little update to show you all:

http://denvish.net/ulf/180207/73471_physdemo5.php

The game now features jump-onto-from-below platforms, as demonstrated here with the grass thing you start out underneath. Feedback?!

 

[mase]

Lol i like that better

There is one thing that gets me though.
When you fall from the ledge onto the ramp below sonic walks up to a point then falls, even if your tellin him to go the other way... Lol?

 

[BlueSin]

Wait what?
