Hi,
I tried Pingus 0.6 a while back - it starts to look & feel pretty polished.
While at it, I also tested a few WIP levels and found that commenting them
would be a lot nicer if only there was some decent comment management tool.
So, as a contribution to the project, I wrote one.
There's a demo running at...
http://elonen.iki.fi/pingus/
...and the source code is at...
http://elonen.iki.fi/pingus/pingus-feedback.tgz
Some notes:
+ written in PHP 4.2
+ uses the file system and XML files, not a database
+ uses a slightly modified format for the comments
- one file per comment & level
- added 'date' and 'levelmd5'
+ compares the md5 sum of the current level file with
sums stored in the comment files and shows which
comments refer to an old version
+ "Comment this level" button in the game or the editor could
launch a web browser with a URL in the following format:
http://URL/index.php?c=<cathegory>&l=<level>&levelmd5=<md5sum>
It would be nice to have screenshots of the levels on the pages. Could someone
implement a startup option that would make Pingus just render given level,
write the result to a PNG file and exit?
