So, managed to get the flickering to work (I can't believe I spent two hours on this). I think later I will set up the animations on the new version, but need to walk away. Still, it's something.

Today, I made a i-frame system for when the player takes damage. Temporarily randomizes modularity for now. The video is me spamming the temporary "take damage when you jump" button.

Going to try to make the effect more uniform next.

Officially have my first basic enemy, a snake that is only just visible behind the grass layer and jumps when you try to jump over it.

Think it's time to try and add push-back on injury

YES, it's not flipping sprites, or swapping facing, and it's shoving everything aside, but what matters is I got the bloody math right and the formatting right and dammit, I'm halfway there!

Yesss. Run, idle, jump, and fall all working as desired. Well, mostly. Trying to figure out how to add a separate blinking idle every X cycles, but I'll get there.

(Don't mind the frog, old tutorial NPC that I gave up on because I decided to just start fresh on my own once I got sprites done)

This is what i came up with and will use until i actually make the code for the jump and see how it looks. A single frame to crouch, one more frame to kick off, the "flying up" held frame (not held here), one frame transition, falling frame.

I enjoy having a bit of flickering light going when I'm working on things. But I really can't light a candle right in front of my friggin monitor.

Solution: A $6 fake lamp, a couple cents worth of tissue paper, and a solid fake firelight setup, because most fake candles have shitty light.

Flamingo run cycle time!

In this case, having made my idle as a baseline for shape, I then proceeded to a run cycle.

It's derpy. It also looks very flamingo, for my skill level.

I need to add the back wings to the whole thing, but that's easy enough.
