Noticed there were a couple of things about a grappling hook in the forums. I searched for it on StencylForge, but didn't see it. Am I missing it or is it not around anymore?

Seconded. I for sure remember seeing someone (Greg maybe?) working on this. Where did it gooooooooo?

I had one back when we were on a Java engine - but haven't spent time trying to fully port it over yet.  I'll try to get back to it soon.

I thought Stencyl was coded in Java which was why it can be slowish at times, but fast at others and very portable. But creator of this topic, do you mean a grappling hook behavior, or drawing?

StencylWorks itself uses Java and, about 1.5/2 years ago, games were coded in Java too. Now, they're coded in ActionScript 3.0 or iOS

Grappling hook behavior.

A grappling hook behavior would be epic! Also, if they were coded in Java, how could they be put onto flash sites?

A behavior was what I was talking about. It would be epic indeed.

No, I've seen flash one by you. Where is it? It was good enough.

There are no impossible things. There is only lack of skills.

The closest I've gotten to a grappling hook so far (on the flash platform) is in this game (press space bar) -

But it just handles the grappling hook extension/retractions and basic (line) drawing.  I haven't handled the physics portion yet or the ability to use images to draw the grappling hook.

Could you take off jetpack from it? So we can examine actual grappling hook.

//edit: And I know there was better version of it where player could move towards hook with arrows. I remember it was with black rectangle sprite and presented along ledge climbing behavior.

That's the java version you're thinking of

No, I am 100% sure it is flash. I think it was on old site. Additional detail: it had S.Noni tileset and music and had same simple line drawing.

//EDIT: And I joined after switch to Flash so I missed java-based games and yet played this grappling hook via flash (I had problems with java in browser at the time I played it, so it certainly wasn't applet)

//edit #2: Yep, it was on old site and forge before wipe as JnR Addons.

Well, wherever it is I no longer have access to it - so I'd be starting fresh.
