Thanks so much for this RandomityGuy! In particular, I want to say how glad I am that you've made it an option to switch between old and new spawns. I'd love to see an expanded version of this in PQ too! Which maps does this affect? Is it only official levels that have had their spawns changed since 2017 (Triple Decker, Maximo Center, Marble Agility Course, Basic Agility Course, All Angles, Marbleland, Battlecube Revisited, Lupus, Par Pit, Eye of the Storm, Nadir, Spires—this list is just from memory, so it might be wrong)?

I noticed by playing Marble Agility Course that the gem hitboxes (at least in that level, but potentially all hitboxes throughout the game) are a little lenient—I could get the yellow gem on top of the large tunnel through the ceiling, and I could also get the yellow gem on top of the inverted half-pipe thing through the ceiling. The gems on the little wooden... half-dowels (for lack of a better term) which are suspended between the two brown walls are also very easy to collect just by jumping underneath them. This isn't too big of an issue though—I'd rather have the gems a little easier to collect than much harder to collect like they were originally with this port.

Also, one bug I found: if you select Advanced as the difficulty, then whichever difficulty you were on prior to Advanced will not appear in the choices for difficulty. For example, if you select Custom and then Advanced, Advanced will show up in the place where Custom was, separated from Beginner and Intermediate by a divider, and Custom is nowhere to be seen until you select a different difficulty. I think it should always give you the options of Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Custom no matter which difficulty you're on.

The list of maps with the changed spawns can be found in the list here: github.com/RandomityGuy/MBHaxe/commit/8a...49b99934fdb0f98e3204

Yeah this is still a little deviation from the original.

Also, one bug I found: if you select Advanced as the difficulty, then whichever difficulty you were on prior to Advanced will not appear in the choices for difficulty. For example, if you select Custom and then Advanced, Advanced will show up in the place where Custom was, separated from Beginner and Intermediate by a divider, and Custom is nowhere to be seen until you select a different difficulty. I think it should always give you the options of Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Custom no matter which difficulty you're on.

Oops that went unnoticed, also the UI was taken from MBP 1.50 which had this kind of difficulty selector.

Thanks! Also it's really cool that you were able to get the camera to follow the marble when it approaches walls and obstacles behind it, just like in the original game. It does still move inside walls on occasion, but it's great to see that implemented. The Haxe port also doesn't have that annoying bug when you hit a gravity modifier at a weird angle, where the camera will reverse and your controls will go the wrong way. That's what MBG and PQ do when you skip the first two gravity modifiers in Möbius Strip and hit the third one. So that was so nice to see that age-old bug fixed!

One other thing I noticed since my last post: it's weird how the local top score name and multiplayer name are linked. I use the date to save my times locally. My multiplayer name was "NF on M1 Pro". Then I played Möbius Strip and when I finished the level, "NF on M1 Pro" was still in the box and I had to change it to "2024-07-20". Then when I went to multiplayer again, my name was "2024-07-20". I don't know if this is intended or not, but it feels weird.

The code for the camera behavior was taken from MBWeb which also had the same logic,
As for the name thing, they are indeed linked, the same input box is used for both the cases. Less duplication.
