Gameplay

The game is about driving a squishy car through squishy worlds, trying to reach the exit.

Custom Skin

Next you must add one line to the car_skins.xml, example:

<Skin name="Car 65" chassisSmall="carSmall.png" chassisBig="carBig.png" tireSmall="tireSmall.png" tireBig="tireBig.png" />

Level Editor

Creating the map:

  • Install the level editor. Once it is completed, you will gain access to tutorial on using editor, made by walaber.
  • You can use it to open all maps from JellyCar PSP, they are in Assets/Scenes/ folder, .scene files.
  • Try to change them, experiment on them to see how they work and make your own special map.

Importing the map:

  • Once you made your own super map, select "Save All" to save whole map in a folder (example name "super_map.scene").
  • Copy all generated files to /Assets/Scenes/, when you are creating objects try to gave them some unique names.
  • Open scene_list.xml in any text editor. This contain the list of all maps. You then need to add your own line ex:
  • <Scene name="Super Map" file="super_map.scene" thumb="supermap" />
    • name - name of your map.
    • file - file with your map.
    • thumb - file with image that will be shown in menu.

Adding image file:

  • It must be .png image, 96x96 pixels size. With name that you declared in scene_list.xml file, e.g. supermap.png.
  • Put that file in /Assets/Texture/.
    • A quick way to do so is to just run the game without that image file of your level.
    • Navigate your map in menu - there will be name but no image.
    • Run map and take screen in the game - use tool like remoteJoy or other.
    • Now just make your nice miniature from screenshot and put in in Assets/Texture/.
  • Now if you will start the game and navigate in menu to your map you will see name of the map and image.
