I wonder if Luna ever learned that the ponies don't have to be awake for them to appreciate the night.

But apart, all we are is just a pile of mush and some crumbly dry mess...

If it makes you feel any better, you'll still be an irritating shit tomorrow; just, 'y'know, well-rested.

Reading those comments... That's a meme that needs to die in the face.

Oh come on; I though that was quite a good edit. Took me a while to get it just right. Check out my Spike one, too.

I don't think it really qualifies as a meme...

No, the picture is good. I like it. I was talking about meme as in an idea/unit of cultural information. The idea expressed in the comments needs to die in the face.

Which idea are you referring to?

The idea that the UN is a useless, ineffective moneysink.

That pretty much describes all governments. And most postal systems.

That doesn't really qualify as a meme either. It's almost too universal.

So anyway, I'm attempting to make a MLP game. But I'm having trouble deciding on a collision box to use. The problem is that the pony sprites don't really fit into a single rectangle because their heads stick out.

It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

#12540 Japanese Teeth Fri, 29th Jul '11 8:58:23 PM from Meinong's jungle from Meinong's jungle

On main box for the body, one small one for the head. Or one big one just kinda in the middle of the entire sprite.

(I know nothing about game programming)

Puzzle platformer

The problem with a separate box for the head is that they can land on their chin and hold onto platforms while mostly hanging off them which looks really weird.

#12543 tectonic Robot Fri, 29th Jul '11 10:00:02 PM

Just leave their head sticking out. I assume that will work. I don't know how to make games...

#12544 storyyeller Fri, 29th Jul '11 10:03:55 PM from Appleloosa from Appleloosa

I guess the best option is to just make the central body collidable. That does mean that they'll be able to stick their heads into walls and stuff but it's hard to think of a better alternative.

As long as the sprite overlaps the background and we don't have ponies sticking their heads through things, it should work fine.

Can you angle the box for the head so that if the chin would catch something, it slides off instead?

Giving them a "ledge grab" animation and just making the jumps correspondingly longer would also solve the problem.

What program are you using? You could always have a box for the head that doesn't cover the whole thing - it's flush with the body box.

And, as it's been said above, the Pinkie Sense lasted for one episode and was then forgotten, it's pretty short-term, didn't help at all while trying to stop Nightmare Moon in the pilot (where it would've been the most helpful) and didn't determine anything important.

Well, there's always the idea that a lack of twitching was how Pinkie knew that the scary-looking trees weren't like these trees

.

The problem with a separate box for the head is that they can land on their chin and hold onto platforms while mostly hanging off them which looks really weird.

Do the collision boxes have to be actual complete boxes, or can you make them only work on certain sides? I know in old games they would just define certain pixels to check for overlapping in certain directions.

I was watching "Suited for Success" and I realized why Fluttershy's second dress ended up looking like crap. She demonstrated an immens TECHNICAL knowledge of sewing and fabrics, however she has no sense of STYLE. Speaking of, anypony have any ideas where she might have learned how to sew? Also, I find myself actually liking Dash's second dress quite a bit. Note how for both of Dash's dresses Rarity went with a sort of Greek Goddess look.
