Combat Trailer

Combat Trailer

A little combat trailer preview, there are some things to complete :

• Hit effect when kid or guard loose energy
• Block attack when strike 
• Retreat
• Some little bug to be fixed

For now take a look ( kid already has the sword)

Engarde ... Strike!

Engarde ... Strike!

PoP.net sword fighting is near to be complete!

Now Kid alert when Guard is less than 3 tile on same row.

He can advance, retreat and finally strike the Guard

A little problem.... i have fixed the max sprite dimension about 114 x pixel for 114 y pixel and some Kid's strike animation is largest than this, for now i have cutted some sword pixel, but in next version i will change the sprite engine..to permit all sprite size.

Kid's combat strike sequence

I will release a compiled version about April's end when i finish the combat fence!

Guard is moving!

Guard is moving!

Finally i found time to write the guard movement and ready/engarde routine, when kid is on the same guard's row, the guard change from STAND to READY sequence and call STEPFORWARD for move the guard in Kid's direction.

On the original MACII source i didn't found the guard walking sequences i have grab frame by frame from pc dos version and another little strange is the gardengarde mac sequence, it call the "ready" and jump the engarde, why? i think because the "engarde" sequence can be called from kid and guard sprite...or not?
