Hey guys,

welcome to my blog, i have a  made a few improvements to the placement editor and a few new additions to the game which now has the working title of "Sarah in Candy Land" because Sarah is my daughter and she loves the idea of a whole land made of candy. So Sarah is my main character and Candy Land is the setting :-)

I have bought some nice candy land graphics which i am in the process of adding to the game.


Here is a list of improvements and additions:

Editor:

• Added a start point button, which places a start point for Sarah to start the level.
• Added an end point button which places an end point for Sarah to get to to finish the current level.
• start/end point now saves with level data to load into game.
• Fixed bug where end point was not displayed when level reloaded into editor.

Each level can have a different start point, so that it doesnt necessarily start at the left hand side of the screen, it could start at the right hand side or even the middle of a level, i will see if this make for more interesting level layouts or if the more traditional level start position at the left hand side would be better. I will play about with it for a while before i decide if this is a good idea or not.

Game:

• Start point now loads into game and Sarah starts from that point.
• Added door at start point where sarah appears in level.
• Added door at end point of game where level ends if Sarah can get to it.
• Game now detects when Sarah gets to level exit
