fastrodent's Issues

Acceleration on slopes

Sonic does not currently accelerate as expected when moving up and down slopes.

Switching ground_modes and running up the walls

Sonic should be able to switch ground_mode when his ground sensors encounter the appropriate angles of terrain. Further work may be required to get his movement stable and correct once this is implemented.

Ceiling and other sensors

Sonic currently has no sensors to make him bump his head on ceilings, so interactions with the ceiling do not work well.

Deceleration mechanic

Sonic should decelerate more quickly when input is in the opposite direction to the current running direction.
He should also animate appropriately when doing this while moving faster than a certain speed.

Automate heightmap generation

Heightmap and other data for tiles is now loaded from json. It should be relatively simple to write a c++ or python program which loads in an image for a tile, calculates the values for its four heightmaps, and saves those out in the tile's json data.

We should be able to set up this process such that it is performed on a collection of black and white tiles organised in the same manner as their graphical counterparts. Hopefully then it will be possible to swap out tilesources used by Defold tilemaps on the fly, or debugging purposes.

Rolling and air physics

Sonic's acceleration, deceleration, and friction should behave differently while rolled up, or in the air.
