[Challenge] Sputzna *updated*

I guess the simpliest way would be to have two giant COs, one with the stars and earth rotating on itself, and one static being the space station over it. But the first one would have a tremendous weight. If the space CO is 240x600, and lets say you would need 50 frames, that would be a 1200x6000 png file. I'm wondering if 50 frames would be enough for it to make a 360? rotation so it could loop...

EDIT: I've made this really quick animation with Photoshop with 6 frames.  It's floppy and the edges are missing. Each screen rotate 1? relatively to the previous one, so 360 frames would be needed. Making 360 of thm would only ask patience, and a larger image. It's a bit jerky and too fast, but it still works

       The animation looks good but even if the earth rotated very veeeeery sloowly like (this would be huge!) 720 frames, in each frame the earth could rotate a half degree to show a smooth and slow rotation... it would still be awsmoe (and would still look like you are floating around it)! or to solve the idea by teper and the layer four overlapping layer three, you could have only the earth rotate and leave the rest transparent (unlike a tileset you can have a pure transparent 24X24 tile ) and it could still work, and when the earth rotates near the ship make it go behind by simply erasing the parts that should go behind (although then all screens would need a floor tile (or something solid) to cover that particular part.

WOW longest post o' my life

The only problem I know of is that if you enter another screen, and re-enter the old screen the Earth would be back where it started, so it might look strange. It might be best if you only use this feature for some sort of complex puzzle that  requires you spend a large amount of time in that screen, with one way in, and only one way out, neither of which meet.


Alternatively, you could just make the earth a CO....

It'd be really difficult to have some sort of puzzle that didn't involve shifts or the risk of death, both of which would also reset any such Earth object.

In any case, the Earth wouldn't go around the screen at all, unless the space station is spinning somehow. And, at the distance from the Earth implied by the screenshots, any movement of the Earth or of the space station in relation to the Earth would be basically imperceptible unless the station were travelling unreasonably fast.

This looks incredible already. I want your tileset-making skills. They never fail to impress 

@teper: that looks really cool. anyway, ill be done with this next week i guess

he he he, the second slide proves that the infestation is happening in outer space!

That's the hydroponic garden. The plants are supposed to be there.

added a screenshot and updated the 1st post. ill probably need 1 or 2 beta testers too

No need to go off topic

Other than that, farik this is a very nice looking level and I was wondering if I could beta-test

I can beta test if you want to

black m.1 and teper it is. ill send you a beta in a day or 2

I cant Wait Were is this

Note : nice tilesets 

Ok thats enogh I will say it

All nice levels Goes to the Periview 

Why Why ?
