What Legomen said.

Also, there already is a thread on this editor scarcely a few posts down.

Closed/trashed.

Not SVG itself. SVG+SMIL animation, which was designated a low priority and said to "not make it into firefox 3"^{[citation needed?]}

The candle could use a bit more contrast on the outlines, and I'm not very keen over that underground BG yet.

Otherwise, looks like it's coming along well.

I'd be up for it upcoming Wednesday.

My schedule is really full this week (CEOI preparations, maths olympiad, school starting again, driving classes...)

I actually like the looks of that palette. SMW hacks with a more "synthetic" colour scheme that doesn't look like crap are rare these days, so keep it up.

I would like to remind those posting in this thread to keep it civil.

And while you are at it, you could as well just stop derailing the thread.

What would you estimate to be the current safety of this tool regarding occasionally corrupting ROMs? So far, it has been a common problem with RPG editors, cf. Hyrule Magic or Temporal Flux.

Visualize the stack as a stack of paper. "Pushing" is an equivalent of putting a sheet on top of it, "pulling" equals taking the top sheet off.

This has several advantages from a programming model point of view. It's a very trivial operation (push = write to offset at stack pointer, decrement stack pointer; pull = read from offset pointed to by stack pointer, increment it) and allows you to structure your code conveniently since it provides a facility of storing and retrieving data without the possibility of collisions - as long as you don't overstep memory boundaries, you are guaranteed to get a yet-unused space to write data to and to be able to retrieve it a later point.
Most notably, it allows for the most common implementation of subroutines which works, in its simplest version, by pushing the current instruction pointer onto the stack and overwriting it with the subroutine address; the return opcode pulls the calling function's instruction pointer from the stack. This allows a subroutine to operate cleanly and return to the original location regardless of what it does itself and where it is called from.

How about a SMW level design contest? It's a game that a nice handful of people here hack, and competitions always spice things up.

Why not link that with the Tower of Spatula project in some way? It seems like the most natural thing to do.

Yes, assuming it's a bitwise OR.
(In C/C++ boolean OR, it'd be 1, but I doubt that's what you mean anyway)

Knowing that and where they are being stored in the ROM is not nearly as useful as knowing that and where they are stored in the PPU (from having been uploaded before), which allows you to deduce the tile numbers.
Graphics in SNES are all but a trivial manner, so, instead of explaining it in own, possibly confusing from my exhaustion words, I'll just refer you to this invaluable document.

Does a handful of people doing that legitimate flatly calling everyone who reads your thread an idiot?

Having played into it some (I'm at 3-2 now), I can say this hack is not all that bad for a game that is hardly being hacked these days. One complaint I'd have is that you seem to rely on "jump on one tile wide blocks" type difficulty a bit too much...

I feel mildly reminded of Keytastrophe, probably due to the music.

Nevertheless, good work (though you did effectively spoil the level with that video, so think of changing it or something before release...).

It sounds more like a metallic xylophone for me, and works as that.

Either way, without ever having heard the original song, I found it quite decent. Perhaps do something for it being less repetitive, like making the instrumentalization richer with each time it repeats.

Please stop derailing the thread, guys.

So, what ideas for lesser/stage bosses do we have? I picked up orynider, Ninja AE (both of those sound like good concepts to me) on the IRC; additionally, I think the Spatulator could somehow be integrated, plus the "ghost of Emuz" using Data Drain (and having an overall distinctly .hackish appearance) on the player in some either admin or oldbie related area.

If you want a /b/ themed level, it's got to be Richard C. Mongler.
