Due to the way the Banana Blast game is being built, it's incredibly complicated!
-=-=-
Maybe I should rethink the way all the maths works, but the situation is approximately..
1. Tilemap generated.
2. Tilemap drawn to buffer, but scaled down because the buffer would be too big
3. Buffer redrawn to screen, but scaled up to fill the area.
4. Oh no, maths!!!!
Trying to position the Banana onto the map is hard enough. Keeping everything scrolling as one is even harder.
And don't get me started on adding other objects onto the landscape.
Gah!!!
BUT..
The Banana is at least interacting as expected, so I think this *should* be doable.
I've been fiddling with the physics a little, and I know it definitely needs some work to get everything "just right", but once I've got the screen-maths worked out, that shouldn't be too complicated.
What IS complicated, however, is trying to decide what the heck the gameplay is, because right now it just feels like a crazy sandbox, and not much more.
Scram (kick), Tan (kick), Com (kick) cations.
Add (kick), Sub (kick), Mul (kick) cations.
Math (kick) cal (kick) Superhero,
Care (kick), don't (kick) vie (kick) zero.
[Scene One]
Int. Dave's Games and ScrunchCakes - Main Shop Floor
[The shop is packed. Dave is frantically trying to clean remnants of ketchup off his shirt while serving customers. Olivia is juggling multiple orders.]
Dave: (to customer) It's ok, our dispenser just splurted at me again.
Customer 1: Should you not be wearing an apron?
Dave: Possibly. But then the apron would also be covered in ketchup.
Customer 3: It's probably more hygienic, though.
Olivia: (Interrupting) Which is why we're probably going back to using SPOONS like normal people.
[Scene Two]
Int. Kitchen Area
[Brian is reconfiguring the Dip-o-Matic 5000 while Green watches]
Brian: If we just adjust the pressure valves.
Green: You'd better be right, or we'll have Mustard everywhere.
Brian: We just need to...
Dave: (Popping his head in) How's the cleanup going?
Brian: We're done. I'm just re-pressuring the Mustard, now.
Green: He's fiddling, I'm standing well back.
[Scene Three]
Int. Main Shop Floor
Customer 2: And some of the purple stuff? Is that a dip?
Olivia: I don't think we have Purple as a dip, no.
Customer 2: Oh. Well, how about the Golden Syrup? What does that dip well with?
Olivia: I think that probably goes better with the sweeter ScrunchCakes, like the vanilla or strawberry.
Dave: [returns from the kitchen] The Syrup goes wonderfully with the Raspberry Ripple Scrunchcakes.
[Customer stares at Dave's hair]
Dave: It's mustard. Don't worry about it.
Olivia: Is everything ok in there?
Dave: It's perfectly fine. There were no explosions.
