fixed a bug where when you went to some maps and then to others it would bug out the game (fixed loadtiledeffinitions to properly initialize tile deff's)

5/16/05

for timers, shot blocks and triggers, made it so if you make the -1, it then requires a script code block for each, right after the tile deffinition.

added in a "trigger" flag for blocks, when you step in them they can change into another block

when you get hurt and are invulnerable, when you become vulnerable again if your touching something that should hurt you it will.

show number of lives in lower right corner

negative gravity can lift you off the floor now

you can have foreground tiles now

each rectangle can have it's own gravity setting

added in tile timers so after the timer expires the tile becomes a different block

make it so for each tile # you can specify the tile art to use (so 1 doesnt have to be tile 1 art) this is for blocks that look the same but act different

4/11/05

make megaman stay closer to center of screen

you can specify which direction an enemy faces when it's spawned

enemies spawned in StartLevel()

3/29/05

fixed shooting from a ladder

megman hitbox stays constant (when it changes it screws w/ collision detection)

if you walk down a ladder to the ground you get off automaticly

if you go too far left or right on a ladder you fall off

Now you are only considered on a ladder if ALL your tiles are ladders, not if ANY of your tiles is a ladder

3/28/05

made it correctly test for ladder w/ flags&ladder instead of flags==ladder

make it so you can climb up and down ladders and move left and right on them

made it so tiles only stop you if they have the solid flag on
