This actually looks pretty charming! I assume everything is pretty much WIP at this point so I won't comment much on stuff, but it seems like a pretty cool idea.

And hey, the title caught my attention so perhaps it's not so bad, eh?

ill keep it then :D and well please, it can only make the game better you know ^^

im working on a level editor so i can make cooler levels for you guess, until i get the level generator up and running  :gentleman:

im having problems making the inventory. whats your approach on a inventory system(Technically)?

That depends on the type of inventory, such as slot-based or list-based.

For slot-based I usually use a 2D array with references to the item in the slot. When I want to pickup an item, I loop over the array until I find an empty space then add the item to that spot. Getting items is very easy since you can directly access an item by its position in an array.

For list-based I'll use a linked-list, and just add items to the end of the list when I want to pickup an item. Getting items requires iterating over all the items, but this isn't really an issue since you typically shouldn't have very many items at a time.

yeah there is just the problem that i want to draw the items in the inventory(not that thats a problem), and make them like organizable.

the inventory is nearly done, i might get a demo out today :D

This looks pretty good thus far. You should have the player have to push (and feed) the pieces of creeper to some sort of guardian in order to get past it.

lol good idea :D

I have to ask. What do you need five parts in a version number for?? :waaagh:

Perhaps to better illustrate how incredibly early build it is ;)

correct  :durr:
