12 years ago At this moment we have:
- FLAT
- COINS
- PIPE
- PIPEPIRANHA
- CANNON
- GAP
- STAIRSUP
- STAIRSDOWN
- BLOCKPP
- BLOCKCC
- BLOCKEE
- BLOCKPC
- BLOCKPE
- BLOCKCE
- GOOMBA
- REDTURTLE
- GREENTURTLE
- SPIKY
- GOOMBAWINGED
- REDTURTLEWINGED
- GREENTURTLEWINGED
- SPIKYWINGED
After a bit of brainstorming, I think we should add the following:
- GROUNDUP
- GROUNDDOWN
- STAIRSUPUP
- STAIRSDOWNDOWN
- GOOMBABLOCKPP
- GOOMBABLOCKCC
- (etc)
- GREENTURTLEBLOCKPP
- (etc)
- REDTURTLEBLOCKPP
- (etc)
- BLOCKPPGOOMBA
- (etc)
GROUNDUP and GROUNDDOWN shift the ground level by two. STAIRSUPUP and STAIRSDOWNDOWN are the chunks that take stairs from 2x2 to 4x4. The others are combinations of enemies with blocks over them, and blocks with enemies walking on them.
Winged versions don't really match with enemy zones, so they are unnecessary. Similarly, we could combine enemy-block-enemy – and even another row of blocks or coins on top. But let's keep it simple for the moment. Impact on level design won't be much.
In order to implement the chunks, let's first stop and think which ones do we need: double rows, ground up, ground down, etc.
