"This cursor enemy will cycle through 3 patterns, once he finishes he will move to his inital position and start over."

―Note in Pointan's code, Megamix Engine

Pointan is an enemy from Mega Man 10. It is a blue robot shaped like a computer's default mouse pointer.

Pointan is included in the Megamix Engine, and is planned to appear as a devkit enemy in Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 and Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level.

Behavior

Pointan will drag outlines to form rectangles that turn into windows that fly either horizontally or vertically, one at a time. It cycles through three specific shapes, returning to its spawning point every three times it makes windows. The pattern consists of the following, in order:

• A 2x2 square, with the windows alternating between moving down and moving in whatever direction Mega Man was facing when they were spawned. This is the default starting shape.
• A 4-window column, with the windows moving in whatever direction Mega Man was facing when they were spawned.
• A 4-window row, with the windows moving downward.

Creation code can be used to change which shape Pointan starts with (initialPattern = 1 for the column, initialPattern = 2 for the row)

Trivia

• The Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 boss Cursor uses the same sprites as Pointan. Its CD in Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero further specifies it as being a modified Pointan in-universe.
