Converting levels from JJ1 to JJ2 isn't going to be happening anytime soon. There are probably literally a million things that would have to be taken care of, not the least of which would be knowing both the JJ1 and JJ2 file formats inside out. That and the distinct lack of many enemies, etc.. in JJ2, etc... not going to happen

However if someone wants to rebuild the levels, maybe seeing the original from a bird's eye view may help:
(warning: pretty big file.. I think it was like 500-600 KB) http://www.princeton.edu/~mspear/lev...o-events-1.png (from a long time ago..)

Looks like the tileset compiler is #1 priority.. Shouldn't be too difficult.. I was pretty close to finishing it before I left for university, but didn't quite make it..

As for animations.. well.. I'll certainly try at least a bit, but that was never my forté..
