Title: A RollerCoaster Tycoon tribute to Lemmings
Post by: NieSch on March 09, 2014, 12:21:04 PM
Hi all! :)

What do you get when you combine my two favorite video games?

+        = ?

The answer: a "wild mouse" rollercoaster with a Lemmings theme!

Oh No! Wild Lemmings

I'm not much of a fan of even real-life roller coasters, but it's a nice looking tribute to Lemmings. 8)

Is the initial drop as steep as safely possible?  Seems like it should to really fit with the Lemmings theme. ;)

Oh, I used to be so into this game. I was never very artistic with it, though... mostly just built the most harrowing drops I possibly could.

Nice fire pit under the builder. =) I think the blocks are supposed to extend for more than just two pixels under the next block, though. Might be wrong.

I love the "Let's Go!" sign at the start.  :D

There's alo a "Yippee!" sign above the little "exit" near the end of the ride. :D

I'm a fan and frequent player of the RCT games, and that is great!  :thumbsup:

Nice design!  It's all loose and whatnot.  All of my wild mouse rides are usually compacted into a little box.

Yes. Each block is 6 pixels long, and they overlap by 4 pixels:

Code: [Select]
      ######
    ######
  ######
######

(That looks a bit steeper than it should since the # character is taller than it is wide, but it explains the concept well enough.)

Oops, yeah, I see my earlier comment is totally wrong. I don't know what I was thinking!

No, your earlier comment was completely right. =) Each brick is six pixels wide, the next brick, the left four pixels overlap the four on the right of the current one. So indeed, they overlap by more than two.

Thanks! (You can find all of my trackdesigns here. 8) )

Yep, that's how I built it. :)

Ah, indeed you did. It looks like each brick's only 4 pixels wide in the screenshot, unless you look closely. It's just because of the viewing angle.
