What about a practice mode that kicks in when you die? Let's say you're at
the edge of a pit, you jump it but run into a monster. Instead of dying,
you get a redo. You again find yourself at the edge of the pit, jumping.
You can't slow down--you're already in the air, so what do you do?
Hey Philip,
how about basing maximums speed reached on the number of hit points, the

Another thing I've mentioned before is that walls, pits and so on could have
echoes, just like in the real world, but exaggerated somewhat so as to be
more audible. If you hear an echo a quarter second after you make a
sound--such as take a step, you'd know you were about 250 feet away. You
Well, having any kind of standard boundary is not necessarily good. A
character already weakened and near death is not going to jump a wide pit
from two steps away. He'll need to get right up on the edge to jump, since
his strength is waning.

Not only that, but picture this scenario, that comes from the Over the Hedge

You're tired of hearing so much about that great new game, so you invent

You could also take a generic pit sound and apply filters to it to change
its timbre, so you have different sounds for pits to tell how narrow or wide
they are. A narrow pit would sound like an oo, ahile a wide pit would be
