As Luna falls, the red sky background will fade to black, and eventually she will fade too. Eventually the player will come across a large chasm in the ground and Luna is left with no choice but to jump into it. The screen is now tinted blood red, some sort of creepy music is playing in the background, and the player will find that Luna can no longer run - worse, she will move at about half the walking speed. The screamer lasts for about a second, and then it will cut back to the game. After about a minute, the game will suddenly cut to a gory, zalgo Pinkamena screamer with loud static playing in the background. As they go further, the cracks will get larger and larger, to the point that the ground is covered. As the player moves forward they will notice that cracks are beginning to form in the ground. When the player starts the game, there will be upbeat music playing in the background, and they are told at the beginning that they can hold Shift to move faster. Luna Game 2 ( Luna 2) Main Article: Luna Game 2Ī sequel to Luna Game 1, with an improved Luna sprite and better graphics.

At first, many bronies who played the game thought it to be some sort of computer virus made to look like a simple My Little Pony fan game, but many virus scans later, it was confirmed to be harmless just a really mean joke. What the images are would depend on the image that the player ended up with in the game, and the text files (labeled 'The End Is Neigh') contain the phrase 'The End Is Neigh'. After the game has closed, the player would find a large quantity of pictures and text files, either on their Desktop, or in the file that the game was saved in. The only two ways to close the game at this point are to either open Task Manager using Ctrl Alt Del and the arrow keys then end the process by using the arrow keys to navigate to the program and pressing Enter, or to just leave it to keep on going, because it will close by itself after about a minute and a few seconds. The player will also find that they cannot close the game with the Esc. It seems normal at the start, but after about twenty to thirty seconds, regardless of how far Luna has progressed, the game suddenly stops, cutting to one of two possible disturbing images (either a zalgo image of Pinkie Pie, or a menacing image of Apple Bloom) and four possible creepy songs from the show (varying from distorted versions of Hush Now Quiet Now, Evil Enchantress, Giggle At The Ghosties, or just a creepy sequence of distorted Pinkie laughter). This game features a custom Princess Luna sprite, which the player moves about a simple platform area with upbeat music playing in the background. As soon as the player hits a region, a transition will be started.Official Luna Game Main Article: Luna GameĪ short game, and the first in the Luna Game series. Each region has a 'direction' and lies just outside of the room's visible area. The small notches with an arrow are the regions in which a transition can occur. The green screen (Screen 6) has a vertical transition back to Screen 5 but also allows horizontal smooth-scrolling into Screen 7.Įdit: Implementing the transitions in terms of rooms lead me to this:.The blue screen (Screen 5) has disabled horizontal scrolling so that only vertical transitions are possible. Once the player moves to either of the transition edges, user input is momentarily disabled and the camera transitions into the new area, after which user input is restored. Since there is a transition between Screen 3 and it's neighboring screens 4 and 5, the camera will not advance past the right or top edges of Screen 3 unless the player moves to that respective edge and 'pushes' through to the next screen.Screen 0-3 is horizontally smooth-scrolling and appears to the player as one continuous field of play.Screen 0 is the starting screen, where the player starts.How can these screen transitions be modeled? It is also possible for a single screen to have more than one transition, for example it has a ladder that goes up to one screen, but you could also walk forward to another screen. Some of the screens stop the camera from scrolling until the player has reached the edge of the screen, at which time a transition occurs and the next screen is shown. Some of the screens smoothly scroll in to one another, creating the illusion of a wider fields of play.

Essentially, the level is divided into 'screens' which are all the same size.

The NES classic Mega Man series uses a very specific scrolling technique that I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around implementing.
