Hello! I found an...interesting issue.

I'm not sure what I changed to make this happen but midway through working on this game I realized this was happening:

From there it looks subtle, but the hitbox is one pixel too far into the ground. But unlike what I'd expect, this does not impact movement at all -- the player can still move and jump and everything, mobility hasnt been limited at all.

The other weird thing is, this hitbox issue only happens when I'm standing on my gridmap. When I'm standing on another entity (like the dirt block pictured), that issue doesnt happen (note the lil pixel-sized legs visible when the bug is standing on the dirt block)

I have no idea what's happening here! I've looked through all my code, I've commented all my setHitbox calls except for the one setHitbox at initialization. No dice.

More info: the player is 16x16, the dirt block is 20x16, and the grid tiles are 16x16.

@bendmorris do you have any idea what could be causing this?

helloooo

my name's taylor, and i just released a game!

its called wagtail cave. its a game about rescuing dogs from a cave, using a grappling hook.

you can play it online here: https://slimefriend.itch.io/wagtail-cave

its still in progress , so feel free to leave feedback!

The player was shaky when the camera was moving--looking like they were having trouble finding the right pixel to snap to. Being more careful to make sure the camera's values were integers got rid of the issue.

so PixelArtScaler.globalActivate does the job, but now the camera is all shaky when i move around. is there something I can do on my end to prevent that?

Hello again.

So I have a game that is 240x160, rescaled to 960x640. I would think this means that everything is pixelated, but I'm noticing when you rotate sprites they are not sticking to the expected resolution.
Screenshot:

(Notice how the rotated arm and gun are at a high resolution)

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Thanks,
Taylor

Oh okay cool! Is there any way to draw into an Image? The way I did it before (make a new bitmap data, Draw.setTarget(bitmapData), initialize Image with bitmap data) doesn't seem to be supported now, Draw.setTarget is missing and HXP.createBitmap is missing.

Hello again!

Does HaxePunk have some sort of drawing API, similar to OpenFL? I imported one of my old HaxePunk files and noticed some of the features I was using in the Draw util have been taken out (I assume since Draw was only meant to be used for debugging purposes), so is there another way to draw lines and such?

Follow up question: if not, is there a reference to the base OpenFL sprite so I can use the OpenFL drawing API?

@bendmorris Oh after setting smooth to false, that did indeed fix it. Thanks!

Side note--is there any way for me to not have to write smooth = false for all my images/tilemaps? it's not a huge issue for me, but it would be nice.

This is rad! That bitmap text feature looks absolutely amazing

Hello!

I'm returning to haxepunk from a bit of an absence (wow, this place has really cleaned up since I last visited!)

I'm having an issue with the tilemap...I'm seeing vertical lines between my tiles.

Screenshot:

I'm not sure why exactly this is happening. I've made sure that my tileset image is the correct size, and that the proper values for grid size are being supplied.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

(I'm on HTML5 btw)
