Mmmmmm tasty!
Programmed this today.

Let me know if you've got any errors and what browser/os you are using if you do.

I realize that the hit test is not very accurate but that will be fixed. :thumbsup:

Firefox 3.5.7 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala

Yes, the collision check is annoyingly inaccurate.

You can 'walk' off the left side of the screen and the koopas vanish before they get to you.

Thus, you can 'play' while not even at the keyboard and score major points.

This also works of the right side of the screen, it is just more difficult to get there.

Definitely has that addictive potential though.

lol at the walking off the left side of the screen cheat. I am currently accumulating points as I type this and intend to let run all night so as to have the highest score.

I was completely aware of that. It's too bad there's no high-score tracking :OO : :O O :O :OO: :O


And the hittest, while looking quit inaccurate at times is pretty decent, it's juts that it's testing rectangles and the graphics don't fill in the corners.

Chrome (current stable) on the Mac... And nothing happens. No arrow pressing or button mashing results in any movement of any thing.

The chrome problem should be worked out. I fixed the hit test and added walls that you can jump off of! Hold forward while jumping and then hit jump again!
