Rockfall. A game where rocks fall

rockfall's Issues

Make or use a level editor

I've used Tiled in the past but maybe there is an online editor (or maybe I should make one)

Fix antialiasing

User Levels

Add your levels here

Fix PC version

Probably need to draw characters with center/middle alignment?

Add Mobile Controls

Add The Juice

Add Exit

Let player actually complete level

Flash when Exit is Open

Support Pixelated

Maybe just set css

Add hsv offset per cell

Split Screen Multi-Player

The code already handles 2 players. The tiler can draw multiple sections of the map. Maybe we could split the screen into N pieces (not sure what if any limit for N)

Use a seeded random?

That way you could provide the seed and get the same level? Kind of scary in that if you add anything it will change the outcome. Meaning, adding this would add the responsibility that changing the code and/or adding a new feature does not change what level is generated for a given seed.

Fix Scroll Speed

Because game runs at 10fps and scroll speed is set to 10% that means for each of the 6 displayed frames of a game frame the screen scrolls at 6 different rates.

In other words, lets say the screen needs to scroll 32 pixels (one tile)

It might scroll 32 * 0.1 pixels on frame 1 or 3.2px to position 3.2
Then it would scroll 28.8 * 0.1 pixels on frame 2 to 6.08
Then it would scroll 25.92 * 0.1 pixels on frame 3 to 8.672
As you can see each frame is slower but then jumps up when the player moves further
At frame 6 a game frame ticks and now it's target is 64 pixels.

This stutter is noticeable.

A simple solution is probably just a max velocity of tilesSize / frameRate

Try to add smooth motion

The game is tile based but maybe we could make tiles slide by adding some extra state that the shader can use to draw

Scan for starting and ending positions

When loading a level, scan for starting and ending positions. If there's more than 1, pick one at random. If there are zero then use defaults.

Fix rendering glitch

Sometimes tiles have edges the shouldn't

Better Graphics with Animations

Use better graphics instead of emoji

Add Start/End/Restart

Add Gamepad support

Make Level Loader / Selector

provide some way to load/select levels

Sounds

Go fullscreen on Android?

seem like I don't want to go fullscreen on desktop (though maybe an icon to do it since most users probably don't know they can do it themselves).

Should I force landscape orientation on android?

Should I force the game to landscape period? I can't force it landscape on iOS but I can detect if the screen is in landscape or portrait and if portrait then draw the screen rotated 90 degrees to tell users to turn the screen
