Fuzeboy – A new beginning
ByNikles
Me and Darftey have been developing Fuzeboy for five months now. We met in late Novemeber 2016, experimented a bit with prototypes and then started serious development in January 2017. It all started as a small mobile game (you can see the touch controls in the image above) but soon it was clear Fuzeboy was no small game…
How I positioned the tileset in my tech demo

Optimizing Collision Code

As I said in a previous post about my platformer engine (the one I’m working on for Fuzeboy), I’m using Zack Bell‘s code as a base. Recently I started to look into ways to optimize such code without losing the functionality (slopes are a big feature of that simple collision/movement code). And as someone once told…
