Jun 12	comment	Recreating retro/NES style physics with intentional imprecision @Maik I am interested. I had implemented something to handle this yesterday but had some odd things happen. Thanks for following up!

Jun 11	comment	Recreating retro/NES style physics with intentional imprecision Yes, this is most likely the solution that the original uses. My project doesn't split the high and low values, though. Is there a way I could do this with a float or fixed point type of structure?
Jun 11	revised	Recreating retro/NES style physics with intentional imprecision Added example code
Jun 11	comment	Recreating retro/NES style physics with intentional imprecision @3nixios I already know exactly how the jump curve looks, frame-for-frame. I want to replicate the physics exactly as they are in the original. I am able to get the ascending part of the curve perfect, but as soon as the velocity crosses over 0 then my math is out of sync with the original game. The effect is that the player doesn't fall as fast in the same amount of time; not acceptable.
Jun 11	comment	Recreating retro/NES style physics with intentional imprecision Let me know if you need more details, I didn't want to write a gigantic post for fear I'll get tl;dr responses.

Dec 23	comment	Mega Man-style screen scrolling design I wanted to let you know that I didn't downvote your answer, but I don't really think that it answers my question: 'How can these screen transitions be modeled?'.

Dec 22	comment	Mega Man-style screen scrolling design @Axidos I think the problem I had been running in to was defining the regions of transition such that they won't overlap and cause transitioning back and forth in a loop. I'm pretty sure I "get it" now, though, so I'm going to move forward with it and see.
Dec 22	comment	Mega Man-style screen scrolling design @TreDubZedd Please see my question's edits. Please let me know if I have captured what you're describing.

Dec 22	comment	Mega Man-style screen scrolling design Currently I don't have transitions between rooms. The camera freely scrolls. I have not yet implemented transitions because I haven't come up with a decent way to do it that remains true to the Mega Man style.
