An editor! Today, I finally got around to making the editor. Starting nice and easily, I’ll be adding bits and pieces as I go, so that .. hopefully.. when you get hold of it, it’s not as empty as it currently is!

Yesterday I said I’d be working on something else.. I didn’t! Alien Deathmatch keeps dragging me back in Today I played with the weapons a bit more, to try and get a nicer feel to all the different main weapons. I also messed about with Particles because unbelievably I’d forgotton to put the things in! [...]

It can do plain, and chequered, thus giving us 6 possibilities of floors. Every room that’s separated gets a random floor. Nice and simple. (They have to be prerendered [...]

I spent most of last night tweaking the graphics. For starters, I’ve jigged about the whole Background tileset. If you’ve bothered to poke around inside the old game, you’ll have noticed that bg.png contains a great big pile of unused “Inside a Wall” stuff. It was originally going to serve a purpose, and fill out [...]
