Just wanted to let you know that I started to work on Abadoned Castle.
In terms of percentage, I guess it's around 50% finished.
In other news: I now got a new problem.
Whenever Mario brought a key to a keyhole in Super Mario World, the keyhole became larger, Mario entered it and the keyhole shrinked again.
And nobody ever recreated that effect in any Mario fangame at all, let alone the Game Maker ones.
I do know, how to make the key shrink and grow (I would have to change the axis of the keyhole, though).
However, I have problems making the player actually enter the keyhole like in SMW.
I heard that Stencil Buffers can work, but I have no idea, how to use them in Game Maker 8 in order to achive the keyhole effect from SMW.
So I would be super glad, if someone could help me there, so the demo can also have a secret exit (so I could then start to work with EvilMariobot on the plans for the boss of the Yellow Switch Palace (every switch palace will have a boss).
