Someone could make a gauntlet engine so anyone could make a gauntlet game. What program (GM or SC) can handle bigger scrolling maps? Theres the animation in gauntlet too. every character has 8 different directions and at least 3 frames for walking. It would be hard to make, but still very rewarding.

One idea is to do the graphics DROD style and make it exactly straight down, so you only need to draw them twice. And the thing about Gauntlet is it would re-use lots of code, which helps.

Rotate sprite command? SC has a rotate sprite command?  :o Maybe I should learn how to use it.

Cool. I can make some sprites, but I cant do walking animation very well. I could  make the standing still version, and someone else could animate it. For some reason, the way people walk intrigues me, and I can't seem to replicate it in animation.

Oh cool! Instead of Grid based gauntlet, we can do an ultra cool rotatey sprite thingy. We could also use a Rotate sprite command for asteriods.

ooohhh, pinball is a great idea for the physics engine, someone HAS to do that

gridnav is a little primitive for a guantlet clone, this new spriteNav system would be much better

i dont know why mike is always saying sprite rotation has to be secret and isnt supported, it works fine with everything

I just downloaded SC. I think it's a little overwhelming all the windows that hit you right when you open it.

everyone is always intimidated by sc, its the same thing as gm, just play around with it and it gets easier the more you get familiar with it

Anyone have any demos to post? How about source code.
