This is excellent and far better than I could do.

One small suggestion: I think your jumping routine could be improved a bit. Something like a Sin function. I'm not sure if you're doing that already, but it looks a little awkward. When the character reaches the peak, then reverses and falls down, it happens too fast and doesn't look smooth or realistic.
But that's the only thing I noticed. Otherwise, seems fantastic.

Thank you for your response.
At this stage of development the jump system is a simple one without sin funktion.

Sorry for the mistake ...



BUILD 596:
Fehler: Falsche "Controller Missing", Einblendung
Behoben.
Entschuldigung für das Versehen...

Unfortunately, the last update did not lead to the desired success. Full keyboard control, will be submitted with a later update.
Currently, the game can only be played completely using the controller,
Keyboard entries are supported in menus / requesters and for debugging purposes.

-----



Leider hat das letzte Update nicht zum gewünschten Erfolg geführt. Vollumfängliche Tastatursteuerung, wird mit einem späteren Update nachgereicht.
Aktuell lässt sich das Spiel komplett nur über Controller spielen,
Tastatureingaben werden in Menüs/Requester und für Debugging Zwecke unterstützt.

BUILD 600

Changes:

Game requires XBOX ONE (S | X) controller or compatible controller,

whereby the key assignment can vary depending on the manufacturer.

Possible entries via keyboard:

CTRL + E, for immediate exit,

Most of the queries (yes / no / continue / restart)

can also be reached via the keyboard.

Fixed bugs:

Controller recognition / recognition after plugging in / unplugging,

Various adjustments,

Program code further optimized,



BUILD 600

Änderungen:

Spiel erfordert XBOX ONE (S|X) - Controller oder kompatiblen Controller,

wobei die Tastenbelegung abhänging vom Hersteller varieren kann.

Mögliche Eingaben über Tastatur:

STRG+E, für sofortiges beenden,

Die allermeisten Abfragen (Ja/Nein/Fortsetzten/Neustart)

können ebenfalls über die Tastatur erreicht werden.

Behobene Fehler:

Controller Erkennung/Wiedererkennung nach ein/ausstecken,

Verschiedene Anpassungen,

Programmcode weiter optimiert,

BUILD 617

https://mark-dowen.itch.io/

the following input devices are supported:
Controller (XBOX X | S),
Keyboard,
Mouse,

Controller:
Game control with controller as shown in the game,
Keyboard:
Game control with keyboard corresponds to control with controller,
Deviations:
Pause = "SPACE"

Mouse:
"Jump" with the left mouse button,
With the right mouse button "throw weapon",
Move: Keyboard arrow keys

Notice:
If a controller is plugged in / or if it is plugged in,
so the input via the controller always has priority,
Keystrokes / mouse are ignored.

If the controller is switched off / unplugged during the game,
This means that the keypad is automatically ready after a short time

BUILD 619
Keyboard controls extended:
Key "S" move to the left,
Key "D" move to the right,

This makes the control with mouse and keyboard in combination
more ergonomic.

Bugs:
The controller is recognized after a few seconds when the game is started for the first time (game - start screen)

If no player movement, after a defined time the frame rate , falls to max 30frames, this is because of an old routine build, I forgot to change. This routine uses its own Flipbuffer(), which is not used anymore.

This will be fixed with the next update.
