[WIP] Metroid Fusion Clone

[loafer]

I am new to phaser.js and to enhance my skills I am trying to write a clone of my all time favorite: Metroid Fusion

You can find the current milestone here:

That's also my all time favorite

Looks nice so far, how do you make that slope collision? Ninja physics?

[loafer]

No I didn't use ninja, I wrote slope functions for arcade physics.

 

Below you can see the function I wrote for a one-tile slope facing right. Hope it helps someone.

function (i, body, tile) {        /*          .__          |  |        a |  |        |\p__|        | \        |__\        c   b        */        var collides = Phaser.Physics.Arcade.isPointInTriangle(            body.position.x,                // px            body.position.y + body.height,  // py            tile.worldX - tile.width,       // ax            tile.worldY - tile.height,      // ay            tile.worldX + (tile.width * 2), // bx            tile.worldY + (tile.height * 2),// by            tile.worldX - tile.width,       // cx            tile.worldY + (tile.height * 2) // cy        );        if (collides && body.position.x >= tile.worldX) {            body.y = tile.worldY - body.height + (body.position.x - tile.worldX);            if (body.y < tile.worldY - body.height) {                body.y = tile.worldY - body.height;            }            if (body.y > tile.worldY + tile.height - body.height) {                body.y = tile.worldY + tile.height - body.height;            }            body.velocity.y = 500;            body.blocked.down = true;            return false;        }        return true;    }

Wow, that's simple and clean, thanks.

I just released a major update including working doors, power grip and new rooms.

 

 

I also changed the controls to be prepared for shoulder buttons.

 

 

You can play the current version at http://loafer-project.com/metroid/ and browse the source code at http://github.com/geselle-jan/Metroid.

I just released a minor update.

The power grip now has the correct pull-up animation and I added a few new rooms to explore.

 

Enjoy! 

[loafer]

New update is out!

Samus now has all jump animations and I implemented a more true-to-the-original solution for falling down and off edges.

Last but not least the website has been remade an now features a development blog.

Cool project, a little small in the browser.

Strange for me that i cannot jump with W, but thats probably reserved for aiming up?

I like how he can pull up himself.

Oh wow, this is really cool! It's a bit of a dream of mine, to make an original Metroidvania, so I'm eagerly awaiting further progress on this. Keep up the awesome work!

[loafer]

Thank you for the kind replies.

 

@Bolko

The game size is so small because it's the original resolution of the GameBoy Advance. As soon as the movement is complete I will probably increase it four times.

If thats a dream of yours then just get started! Feel free to fork my repository on GitHub.
