Platformer!
Seems really...techno, I guess? I dunno, looks a bit too computery for a platformer to me. I dunno how to fix it though. ._.
I used MineCraft's font for my start menu so I figured I used it throughout the whole game ^^
It's just one line to change all the text's their font so I'm open for suggestions.

I've been having problems with tunneling. I'd like to see your code but can't seem to download the source code you uploaded.. The main reason for tunneling in my case is that the player controls a platform using the mouse.

Good job!! Nice game!!

@Disch and @ xander333
Both look great!

Do you plan to use multiple fonts throughout the game at a later time or just keep to one so you can change it out quickly?
Kind of related. What is a good starter game? What is a good starter library? I've heard SFML and SDL are good. I used to play with Allegro, but I think that is outdated, circling the drain, and just scratching to keep up with a market that has left it behind. (Told me that networking support in a multimedia library was a waste of time when I offered to make one as a learning experience.) I've heard XNA is good too, but I'd have to learn C# or learn Microsoft's Managed C++ to use XNA.

I keep one font throughout my game. It's both easier and more beautful (or isn't it?). Also, allegro is a no-go IMO. The only library I can recommend for c++ is SFML. It uses hardware acceleration and has decent networking capabilities!
Alright, I'll get SFML (easy install in ubuntu). No the font is fine, just was curious if you were going to stick to one or change them up. As for allegro, a lot of people feel that it is a no-go (I've heard it said that it is circling the drain, a niche library, etc.). I will be blown away if Allegro is still around in say 10 years. Well off to get SFML :).
Def go with SFML if you're using C++. Much better than SDL IMO because it uses C++ features to its advantage.
I agree. SFML simplifies development and it does a lot for you. I'd even use CSFML instead of SDL in C.
Yeah, I got 1.6 and need to really get 2.0 for Ubuntu. Need to also sit down and learn to use Ubuntu commands (linux is supposed to be a programmer's OS and I use the GUI more than the commands).
