If a goomba gets 50 lines I'd get shocked.
By the way, where can I find the reference? I'd like trying to attempt at some coding.
System now is too early and much functions is not added, but we will document all NPC-AI API things to provide full system to have a code of NPC's.
To add own NPC you need make a lua file with any name in the script/npcs folder of config pack and in the lvl_npc.ini put reference to your lua file to needed NPC's in the "algorithm=" field (put the filename only, engine will detect it automatically)

That would definitively ease our lives when coding NPCs (especially when it tells if it was up, down, left, or right; trigger a stomp animation if the player collided upwards or kill the player if the collision was elsewhere; and ignore if it was anything else than the player).
will be developed the detectors system which will provide you to find some objects about, in a specific relative range (required by thwomp and by piranha-plants), and detecting of some state or nearest player (required by rinka, Venus Firetrap, etc.), etc.

In the lvl_blocks.ini is a "danger=" flag which defines sides where player will get harm on touch. If it's a lava block, you have a flag "lava"
