There was a memory leak in the game where the grass over-sprites kept accumulating after the player entered the exterior. I have fixed it and added a ‘hack‘ to force the garbage collector to do it’s thing. It now runs each time the player switches worlds, to ensure any remaining garbage is collected. I am …

Letter for Mimi 2 – wip #30
I have put the ‘map editor’ project on halt, because it became difficult to work on two projects simultaneously. Currently, the game is developed by manipulating the *.xml format by hand. In the future I hope to revisit the map editor project. Python and Tkinter turned out to be not suited at all for my …
Letter for Mimi 2 – wip #29
There was a bug when the default world was smaller than the other worlds, the flxTileMap would not display properly when loading the larger world. I am not sure if this is a bug in Flixel or in my code, but I fixed it by resetting the flxLayer that contained the flxTileMap, and recreating the …
Letter for Mimi 2 – wip #28
I fixed a bug where a character was able to walk on blocked tiles when a door/teleporter was next to a blocked tile. An example can be seen in the image above, the player walks on the stairs, the new world loads and he would have walked off the screen without a problem. Fixing this …
Voronoi cells in Flash
In the image above you can see a Voronoi diagram I generated. You can find a tutorial on Ivan Kuckir’s blog. The implementation from Kuckir was adapted to be used in combination with Flixel. In the future I might be able to use Voronoi diagrams for games.
Pseudo 3d scrolling example in Actionscript 3
A while ago I found this great resource for pseudo 3d racing games by Louis Gorenfeld. Unfortunately, the page is more of a general guide than a complete tutorial. I created the example above, the *.swf is locked at 6 fps so you can see the scrolling very clearly. You can expand it further if …

In the video above you can see the music and audio features I have added. The main menu, menu and game world all have different songs. When you start a conversation, open the menu or select an menu item, you will hear a beep.
Letter for Mimi 2 – wip #19
In the short video above you can see the main menu and the credits screen I have added to the game. The menu has a scrolling background of the over-world, like in Letter for Mimi 2 and Crossroads: 2D.
Letter for Mimi 2 – wip #18
In the screenshot above you can see the current progress for the Letter for Mimi 2 editor. The editor is able to create and export *.xml files, which can be used in the game engine. I am planning to be able to have enough functionality in the editor so I can create content fast en …
Letter for Mimi 2 – wip #17
In my previous post I pointed out a bug in the menu structure. When revising the code I decided not to redo everything to allow for a scrolling type of window. At the moment no more than 18 items can be displayed at the same time. This should be sufficient for a simple game. In …
