Important Numbers for Mapmaking

Here are some important numbers. Updated Nov 2011.

Weights of objects (accurate to within 1):

     8    ball
    20    mouse
    30    small box
    55    small plank
    60    trampoline
    70    mouse with cheese
   111    large plank
   120    large box
   333    100x100 block (AREA/30 for a general block)
  1000    anvil
  1000    cannon

Mice live at: X = [-400, 1200], Y = [-600, 410]
Dynamic and shaman objects live at: X = [-120, 900], Y = [-900, 900]

Nightmode: Visible area has diameter 150, centered at 30 above the mouse's position (just above the ears).

A mouse is 30x30, centered at the back of his neck (this is the point you spirit in order to send him to limbo).

A mouse is 30x30, so if you wanted to put ground on the bottom the edge would have to be at 410 + 30/2 = 425. For example, height 10 and Y = 430 would work. If Y = 431, then a mouse standing on the ground would die.

Invisible ground. No longer works.

From Affliction:

Chat Box: X = [0.5, 799.5], Y = [397.5, 596.5]
Information Bar: X = [0.5, 799.5], Y = [-2.5, 18.5]
Middle of visible screen: X = 400, Y = 174.5

  2. - 340 100x100 block
    We went over this through private messages wondering what the weight per square pixel is, well I was right in saying that 0.0333 (repeating) would make more sense as a weight per square pixel than 0.034
    You were talking about how invisible ground might factor into the weight, well, if the invisible ground is 1% of the H and W then that would give us (In actuality) a 101 x 101 Piece of ground. That would be 10,201 Square Pixels.

    10,201 x 0.0333 = 340.0333 (repeating)

    That would mean that the game accounts for 1% more w and l than we think we have, and each square pixel weighs 0.0333

    - Also, the Chat Box, Information Bar, and Middle of Screen are my calculations.
    "(all of which I've calculated myself)"

  3. X on Chat box and Info should go to 799.5 instead of 399.5
    X= Typo
