Looks great. I have created a pull request on github here:
https://github.com/SuperTux/data/pull/21

Thanks you!

Hey, what do you guys think of a big bonus block that reveals three items at a time?

I like the idea...

I don't know whether this is the right topic, but this isn't a bad idea. It's very original and could be quite funny.

Well, it is definitely not my idea. A certain Super Italian Hero Title was quite inspiring.

The idea is interesting and it's probably not too hard to implement code-wise. But the shadows on your graphic seem to be off, and the questionmark looks different from the one in the other blocks.

What we'd need right now, and what you could do are deeper lava tiles in this style: http://supertux.lethargik.org/wiki/images/f/fd/Castle-lava.jpg. Currently, we only have the uppermost layer: of this style: https://github.com/SuperTux/data/blob/master/images/tiles/lava/lava-1.png (we also have an older version, with deeper tiles). See the entire lava folder https://github.com/SuperTux/data/tree/master/images/tiles/lava, it's animated.

Also interesting could be an enemy that jumps out of the lava, as illustrated in the concept art. About the same style as the new lava.

The idea is interesting and it's probably not too hard to implement code-wise. But the shadows on your graphic seem to be off, and the questionmark looks different from the one in the other blocks.

Well, it was a quick mock up. I could spend some more time on. Do you got a project file of the original full block by any chance? Got the fonts name that was used for full block?
Would be great to see it in the game.

i really like the castle-lava.jpg. Got an open project file that i can work with?

I had a look at the lava tiles. Can you tell me how they were made and which software was used?

Closest I can find is http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/supertux-tiles/images/blocks3.xcf

No. Probably GIMP.

The sketch for the lava can be found at http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/md5/8f14cf1b861a78b53d5d834329292ab0-lavatest.xcf.

the blocks3.xcf will be helpful. thanks for the lava sketch. not sure if i will work on it soon.

More up-to-date blocks can be found at https://github.com/SuperTux/media/tree/master/images/objects/bonus_block (bonus4.xcf and full-*.svg).

Can I ask others about the lava? I don't want two people to work on the same thing.

How deep do you need the lava to be? Two more tiles down (+64px)?

oh i just saw your post. i will do a quick lava mock up anyway - trying kritas new animation feature.

@moochinook: No no, you can do it if you want to. Just need to know it so I don't ask anyone else.

We currently have an uppermost layer. There should be one non-repeatable layer below it, one repeatable "middle" layer, and one (non-repeatable) bottom layer. As for the old lava. See castle levels in forest island or "Kneep-Deep in the Depth" as an example. Old lava files are at https://github.com/SuperTux/data/tree/master/images/tiles/lava/zone and https://github.com/SuperTux/media/tree/master/images/tiles/lava/zone for inspiration and reference.

Kritas wrap around tool (press "W" to activate) works also in animation mode - great for working on seamless lava tiles!

Who did this beautiful lava-animation? Is she/he still here on the board?

The graphics were (probably) made by Grumbel, who never was on this board. His contact information (email) can be found at https://github.com/grumbel.

Great, that deviates from Mario titles so much...!
No offense bro
