Well, I managed to do the PDJ entry - just in the nick of time!
I was going to get this done in SpiderBasic, but resolving bugs is a faster and easier in PureBasic for now.
My entry is here:

Procedural Death Jam Entry
Re: Procedural Death Jam Entry
Looks awesome.
Best wishes to the PB community. Thank you for the memories. 
Re: Procedural Death Jam Entry
It does look neat.
I did find the precise positioning requirement to get on and off the ladders to be frustrating, and quit after three deaths caused by repeated repositioning. Maybe others will appreciate the difficulty it adds, but I would have enjoyed it more with a little more leeway.

Re: Procedural Death Jam Entry
Going up and down the ladders is easy enough, just keep the up or down key pressed while walking past them. 
Otherwise, yeah, it's a pixel perfect aim

That does make it better! I have just never been very coordinated. Thanks for the tip.Foz wrote:Going up and down the ladders is easy enough, just keep the up or down key pressed while walking past them.
