Error in code! FunMan fixed!


Hello there! This is a thing here. That I fixed FunMan! Those funny Man! It was a bug in a game. In a program code. Which makes game impossible. And you lose all the time. Thing is to jump over holes. And it was a situation, that you cannot jump over. Program makes a calculation and tell to you that you are fall into the hole.

Main idea of the game - it is to jump over the holes. Press space – and it is a jumping. And you are on the other island. And it is everything about this game. Control is using one space. Only jumping. Game is written in programming language Free Pascal. And this is my first experience at this programming language.

And it was a problem. I check all the code. Check collisions. Calculations for logics. Everything was all right. In a main look, it is all right code. Problem was in a way of calculations for time ticks. Timing. Timing about to appear new element on the map, timing of move elements to the left. And from other hand – when it will be a reaction to this from player. And what time – to calculate – is jump good. As I get it.


A true thing, I still don’t get it absolutely. Why it was like this. Logics are all right. So, deal is in timings. They are different for different logic. In a who goes first, and who is next by logic. I want to put error for some feature of Pascal. But – it is looks like – I make error. And I was searching for a long time for this.

And - it is a tale about that it is very tricky in the code. And I fix it. Maybe. Maybe. It should work now. Jumps need to be ok. Or as minimum – to be better.

Also, I fixed some inaccuracy with screen drawing. It is some features of language Pascal, that I did not knew before. 

Game is working according CMD command line. It is a build  for Win32 for I386 systems. Size of console screen is 80 at 25.

And jumping are ok now!
