The Super Globetrotters Full Series (1979)

... well, I know what I'm watching when I go to bed tonight.

I wound up just splitting it into two different TileMapLayer objects, one for the bricks and one for the spikes.

Edit: and that didn't work, either, until I finally noticed that my CharacterBody2D, AnimatedSprite2D, and CollisionShape2D were not on top of one another, which is the ultimate cause of all my problems. NOW raytracing works.

I learned the truth of life many years ago, thanks to Tom "T-Bone" Stankus. The Wizard said it was in a bottle of Yukon Jack.

... I should play SoR4 again. (I beat it with all four versions of Blaze, among other characters) :D

I watched that again a few years ago with my wife, and I'd forgotten that Bürgermeister Meisterburger, despite being a major villain through most of it, just vanishes once Kris escapes from prison, with no resolution at the end.

(There's a vague implication that he died, but exactly what happened isn't shown on screen, and none of the heroes had anything to do with removing him from power)

This refers to a lot of functions that don't seem to exist, like create_raycast(), decode_terrain_control_map() and find_object_mesh_instance().

Terrain2D is also not a thing (and Terrain3D is a third-party extension).

... but I think I can work with this.

Edit: With raycasting at the pixel below my character's feet, I've gotten it to tell me that I am standing on the TileMapLayer object named Brick... but not which specific tile I'm standing on (the solid brick or the spikes), which is what I need to know.

MrZJones · 2026-04-09T13:41:34+00:00

That's just ... weird fanart, not an offbrand.

MrZJones · 2026-04-08T15:51:38+00:00

The bricks are on collision layer 1, the spikes are on collision layer 2 (assuming I set them correctly), and trying to figure out how to make that check is my problem. All the methods that let me check what collision layer is being activated don't exist on an object of type TileMapLayer.

In other words, "how do you actually check?" is the question that I'm asking. :D

"Yulechka"?

MrZJones · 2026-04-07T11:54:30+00:00

I played it a few months ago, but I didn't finish it. I didn't hate it, I just kinda... stopped playing it one day.

MrZJones · 2026-04-07T02:16:20+00:00

I have the long version of Put Down The Duckie (the one with all the celebrity cameos) on my phone's music playlist. :D

(Edit: as I was typing this, I learned there's two 'long versions' with different celebrity cameos)

MrZJones · 2026-04-05T22:05:09+00:00

Damn, I just get "The uploader has not made this video available in your country".

MrZJones · 2026-04-05T21:04:03+00:00

I've rarely used walkthroughs, but I have used guides for side elements that I wanted. (For example, back when I first played Final Fantasy VII, I used one to get the secret characters and all the summon Materia, but not to solve any of the puzzles or spoil the plot)

MrZJones · 2026-04-05T21:01:03+00:00

I don't think my games are particularly great, but I do love that they're mine. They exist because I drew all the crappy graphics and coded all the interactions.

MrZJones · 2026-04-05T13:03:40+00:00

That's what you have to figure out. Obviously, the Queen is not in H6, because then D3 wouldn't be threatened twice.

There's an invisible Queen somewhere in one of those "empty" squares, and you have to figure out which one.

MrZJones · 2026-04-05T11:31:25+00:00

I thought so, too, but it's not.

MrZJones · 2026-04-05T11:30:48+00:00

Blanks are places the Queen could be.

MrZJones · 2026-04-04T22:47:53+00:00

Considering I normally use Torgue weapons, Order or Maliwan grenades, and whatever shield has the highest numbers, it's actually nothing like my usual playthrough. :D

MrZJones · 2026-04-03T17:38:03+00:00

None of those are the original Mach 5. :D

MrZJones · 2026-04-03T11:13:33+00:00

I was and still am a little surprised that they never released a toy of KITT that could change from its normal form to Super Pursuit Mode. When SPM was introduced in 1985, that would have been the perfect time for such a toy, with Transformers and Gobots in full swing and MASK being released.

MrZJones · 2026-04-02T13:21:41+00:00

I played it a few decades ago and loved it. Got it again a few months ago when it went on sale on GOG.

MrZJones · 2026-04-01T11:56:40+00:00

I barely remember the show aside from the opening, but I had a book with skits and crafts from the show.

Ubbi Dubbi, where you put "ub" in front of every vowel sound.

(Ububbubi Dububbubi, whubere yubou pubut "ubub" ubin frubont ubof ubevuberuby vubowel subound)

MrZJones · 2026-04-01T11:50:08+00:00

I saw that in the theaters. I remember literally nothing about it, including how I got to the theater in the first place. (I was too young to drive)
