Okay. Now we don't have categories for enemies, because I couldn't make up my mind on how to do them.

Putting all the enemies in a category will be kind of useless since there are too many.
So, here's a list of possible categories.

  • Overground
  • Underground
  • Water
  • Ice
  • Fire
  • Castle
  • Ghost house
  • Desert


Is it OK?
Feel free to suggest more categories if I've forgot some.
I'd rather have multiple little categories than fewer bigger ones...

I think nobody commented because the categories you laid are pretty comprehensive. You should implement them and see if there are any leftover enemies that don't fit a category.

IMO for this database and the sprite database you should make a lot of categories. Then allow us, the users to group them. Allow items to be in more than one category. That way when you search for say enemies that can't be shot...or whatever it will pull up a list. Or enemies in shells, both pulling up buzzy beetle. Same for the sprite DB, this would make more sense in a "tags" format rather than a one size fits all.

... So that's how you got 1000 posts...

Yeah, the categories listed are great, I almost posted a "other" category, but I though that would be spam xD

But, I totally agree with luckwii, Id prefer tags and a tag-search feature, so we can search for certain tags.

The tags are an interesting idea.
So, for example, a koopa would have the tags: Enemy, shell, stompable, killable?

Hmmm...
I've added the categories. We'll think about tags if the category system isn't enough. But, I have a feeling that the enemy categories will be nearly-empty, so...

Just a question:
What enemy has the category "ICE"? Shouldn't it be "SNOW"?
It would suit more.
