This is a huge step in the development of Metagolf.
You can of course create your own level with this version but don't forget this is still an Alpha version. Things could and will change at any time !
Don't hesitate to report any bugs or problems using my email or this topic.

In the next version of Metagolf you'll probably see :

  • Menus :done:
  • Setup for controls (actually "config.xml" give keyboard + mouse to P1, keyboard to P2 and P4 and Player 3 use joypad) :done:
  • Levels loader :done:
  • Different funny type of ball (like hedgehog, turtle,...)
  • Birds, Bunny, Fish, ...
  • A complete Tileset (currently 60% done)
  • 4 Brands new animated players (forget the peeing girl ^^)
  • Internal File Loader (currently using Os one) :done:
  • Title screen :done:
  • Sticky Objects :done:
  • Pushing Objects :done:
  • Wind Objects :done:
  • New background :done:
  • ...

Metagolf is theoretically cross-platform and should work on Mac and Linux.
But you won't probably be able to play these version before Beta.

You could also run this Alpha with OSAKit directly in your browser ! (Windows only)
