Anywhere you want. It installs when you run it.

Yeah that is pretty hilariously random.

You need the vc redistributable. Yeah, it really sucks that it has to be downloaded for whoever doesn't have that dll on their system...

Well, it's just an external program that counts up by 1 each time it detects your death. You have to launch the game from it. Also, it should automatically save your deaths in a local file named demos.dmo or something.

Here's some assorted ramblings I was writing down for awhile. World 2 Don't really have any comments, except maybe move knock on wood to world 3 and Revolution to world 2. World 3 Oh no it's lakitu! - Gives me a runtime error. ToadCentral - This seems a lot harder than every other level in this worl...

Good job whoever made sheath.

Suggestion for the next version. You're often left with sheath or some other character after a stage. How about a demo block in each hub area? I know there's one in the main hub but... it takes 3-4 seconds to get to with the really slow smbx doors!

Yeah someone might want to test that because I only did for about half an hour!

World 1 Tower of majesty - My only complaint is that the p switch interrupts the music. Personal thing only, and one reason I don't use p switches. Also, unimportant nitpick - the door in the p switch room uses the pipe entering animation, and the exit seems to be 1 tile too low. Otherwise my favor...

Not sure if this was mentioned but in 8flight - Mild interruptions I'm pretty sure "textbox" is misspelled in the first message box

Yeah that would be amazing. I'd like to test levels but am too lazy to go download a million files and mess with them.

I really wish more people were doing what Shemp is doing - playing all levels and giving feedback. That's exactly what I'm expecting for at least half of february, while the hub is not ready. Actually, I was expecting guys like aterraformer and pholtos to do some video reviews of all the levels. I ...

SAJewers - The lounge I can't extract 7z files properly. However I remember playing what was possibly an earlier version of this level before and I don't remember having any problems with it. I believe that someone is going to update the dev kit, and include the levels. Hopefully then you can play ...

If all else fails, I could implement the password system in the death counter program. If I'm understanding it all, all it would have to be is a textbox where if the user enters a correct password, a thing happens (it's pretty easy to open the user's default browser and display a webpage from there ...

You can probably hack the hardcoded mother brain hit amount, but then it would change for every mother brain in the game.

Suddenly I want to have a fairy section.

Whoa awesome. Thanks.

True. I guess my problem is then that, since the Level Start starts an event that loops, I can't have that start another event without breaking my loop.I need either the ability to start two events from one or to have more than one level start event, which I don't think is possible... I guess my bes...

Sigh

It's not possible to have two different events that are triggered by Level Start is it

Wow. That's practically an optical illusion.

Fixing quite a large bug in my level.

Yeah me too sadly. I'm using events with extra start and stop periods now. I guess pretty basic mathematical principles are just too much to expect from this engine.

Is there an algorithm for deciding values that actually keep layer movement loops in sync? One might think that if you have a layer moving left at a speed of 1 for 2 seconds, and then have it move at a speed of 2 to the right for 1 second, it will stay in that loop forever. Of course what actually h...
