Supertux: Sleeping IceCube kills you when you try to pick it up

Created on 25 Dec 2018  路  3Comments  路  Source: SuperTux/supertux

SuperTux version: 0.6.0
System information: Arch Linux

Expected behavior

You can pick an IceCube up during its awakening animation (_waking-left-0.png_ to _waking-left-6.png_)

Actual behavior

You die when you try this

Steps to reproduce actual behavior

Jump on IceCube, place it on the ground, wait for the awakening animation and walk into it holding the ACTION key

BTW: I love that little animation.

But this way the player isn't warned before the ice cube becomes harmful, and might attempt to pick it up just to die right away. I'd consider that bad game design, if this really was the intention.

I think the blinking animation is meant to signal to the player that the ice cube is going to start moving, rather than it becoming harmful. Your issue is also something to consider as well.

This should be fixed as this defeats the purpose of the waking animation in the first place.
@weluvgoatz Maybe you can attempt to fix this?
