Nice, you've done really good work with this!

(If I immediately go right, am I supposed to have a sword already?)

Thanks!

You need to pick up the sword, but if you enter Debug mode (OK button) you get the sword

[Komag]

Ah, I had accidentally turned that on and off a couple times

Some tips for those who will Debug the game:

To change the guards behavior you have 3 options to be set on gameMain.brs:

 44:  m.fight = m.const.FIGHT_ATTACK 'parameter to set opponents fight behavior

Options:
m.const.FIGHT_ATTACK - Guards normal behavior
m.const.FIGHT_ALERT - Guards will be alert, follow you, defend but will not attack you
m.const.FIGHT_FROZEN -  Guards will be static and you do not go "engarde"

To go directly to a place in the game edit the following lines on gameMain.brs:

 77: m.currentLevel = ll
...
104: ResetGame(rr, tt)

Where:
ll = level number
rr = room number
tt = tile id

Use these maps to know where to send the kid: http://www.popuw.com/maps.html

The "Replay" key on Debug mode set the "dark" mode on, where no tiles are painted
The "Slicers" shows a transparend red bar on debug mode, that is the "killer" area for the kid

very cool - just downloaded and playing around, having a tough time jumping on the run... saw a crash too - was playing and it just exited to home screen -this was the last line in the debug:

 232, 160 runstop kid-54 R:1 T:3,1

update: i figured out how to jump!
btw amazing job you did here!!!

I tested so many times that I can jump easily, but on the Roku 3 WiFi remote, you just quickly release the direction and click jump, it has some inercia on the previous movement.

About the crash, do you remember what Level you were ? the debug line you sent only shows Room and Tile, and also what you was trying to do ?

[joetesta]

About the crash, it was on the very first level after dying and restarting about 25 times on the very first spikes :oops: , I think it happened about a second after the game restarted. haven't seen it again yet.

[joetesta]

oops i hit a bug, i wonder if i can upload a video? the kid fell off the ledge where the first spikes are (I suck at this game, but great at finding bugs!)
he's stuck in an endless loop falling over and over...
Update: played for a while longer and that didn't happen again. Didn't get out of level 1 though...
