User guide

Gameplay

Shooter takes place in the ordinary world of a young teenager. You're just minding your own buisness playing with some buddies at a park when a familiar face approaches you.

Jimmy asks you if you want to go get a bite to eat, and so you say, "Sure". As you begin to walk away with Jimmy, something unimaginable unfolds. After being pushed into a puddle by Jimmy, and being knocked out, your world gets turned upside down.

You are pushed into a fictional world full of dangers, monsters, and mysteries. You must push on to survive.

Rules/Tips for Map Making

Make sure you have a 1 somewhere in your map so that the player has a spot to spawn. The three things you must have beneath your map are as follows.

• The name of your level - Make sure it is surrounded by quotation marks.
• The type of skin - Must also be surrounded by quotation marks. You can easily make your own textures and place it in a folder inside of the textures folder. Check the testing level as an example.
• The camera type - You can choose between the following types:
  • If cameraType is 0, the map is stationary and will not move Eg) level 1.
  • If cameraType is 1, the map will follow your player, but only horizontally. Eg) In level 4.
  • If cameraType is 2, the entire map will follow your player. Eg) In the 2nd level bonus level.

Don't worry about the user falling off of your map on the sides. There is an invisible box on both the left and right sides of your map, which prevent the player from falling off on those sides.

Place your custom maps in the levels/custom/ folder. This way they can easily be accessible from the Bonus menu in game.
