      I was wondering how many pixels are in each tile? Also what is a good speed for normal platforms? Thanks.

      32 pixels per side. How many pixels in a tile, you can figure out yourself.

      The way I guess at speeds is to think: how many tiles do I want the platform to pass through every second? Then I use this:

      NUMBER OF TILES PER SECOND * 32 * 256 / 30 = SPEED

      1300 gets about 5 tiles per second. But 5 a second is pretty fast.

      What do you mean by sides?

      A tile is square, is it not? A square has four sides, does it not? One side of this square is 32 pixels.

      It's 3232, or 32^2, or 16^(2+2), or 8^(2+2+2), or 4^(2+2+2+2), or 2^(2+2+2+2+2), or 2^(52), using a calculator, you can find out that 52 = 10, so 2^(52) = 2^10.
      2^10 can easily be found using the binary table:

      1. 2
      2. 4
      3. 8
      4. 16
      5. 32
      6. 64
      7. 128
      8. 256
      9. 512
        10) 1024

      So there are 1024 pixels/tile.

      Here's more of the binary table:

      11)2048
      12)4096
      ...
      16)65,536
      ...
      64) approx. 18 * 10^18

      Measuring energy in kilowatt-hours is as stupid as measuring distance in knot-seconds.

      Maybe in addition to my current one.
      I must fight for the metric system!

      BTW, one more post, and you'll have made 2^7 posts!

      Use VelocityChooser 1.0, a not-yet-done program that will be bundled with MRG.
