It's solid, and what breaks blocks breaks it. ## How it works **Clip: A shop's sign.** In the Mines, the player drops down beside a Bomb Shop's sign, a board with a bomb painted on it hanging over the shop's entrance, and walks in; the shopkeeper welcomes him. ([video](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/media/clips/shop-sign/bomb-shop/clip.mp4)) As a shop's room is laid out, its sign tile makes the sign, and the shop's kind picks its picture[^1]: | Shop | The sign shows | | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | | [General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store) | A sack | | [Bomb Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-shop) | A bomb | | [Weapon Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/weapon-shop) | A pistol | | [Clothing Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/clothing-shop) | A shirt | | [Rare Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/rare-shop) | A magnifying glass | | [Dice House](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/dice-house) | A die | | [Kissing Parlor](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/kissing-parlor) | A pair of lips | The clip shows a Bomb Shop's: the player drops down beside its sign, a bomb on a board over the entrance, and walks in, and the shopkeeper welcomes him[^2]. A [Bomb](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb), a [Mattock](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/mattock) or a rolling [Boulder](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/boulder) breaks a sign, and its destroy event, its own, makes rubble and nothing else[^3]. Breaking it doesn't by itself anger the [Shopkeeper](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/shopkeeper): unlike the shop's walls and floor, the sign isn't marked as part of the shop, and its destroy event doesn't run the check the walls' does[^4][^5]. A lit bomb in the shop within 96 pixels of him angers him anyway, before it goes off[^6] ([Every Shopkeeper angered by one bomb](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-angers-every-shopkeeper)). ## Locations Every area's room script makes shop signs the same way: [the Mines](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/mines)'[^1], [the Jungle](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/jungle)'s[^7], [the Ice Caves](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/ice-caves)'[^8], [the Temple](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/temple)'s[^9], [the Black Market](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/black-market)'s, which has no Kissing Parlor[^10], and a [Yeti lair](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/yeti-lair)'s[^11]. The [level editor](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/level-editor) has no tile for it. The Black Market's [Ankh shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/ankh-shop), a room open only from above, has no sign[^12]. ## FAQ ### How do you tell what a shop sells in Spelunky Classic? By the sign over its entrance: a sack for a [General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store), a bomb for a [Bomb Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-shop), a pistol for a [Weapon Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/weapon-shop), a shirt for a [Clothing Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/clothing-shop), a magnifying glass for a [Rare Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/rare-shop), a die for the [Dice House](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/dice-house) and a pair of lips for the [Kissing Parlor](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/kissing-parlor). ### Does breaking a shop's sign anger the shopkeeper in Spelunky Classic? Not by itself: breaking the shop's walls or floor does, but the sign isn't marked as one of them. A [Mattock](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/mattock) breaks it with no trouble, but a lit [Bomb](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb) in the shop near the Shopkeeper angers him before it goes off, whatever it's thrown at. ### Does every shop have a sign in Spelunky Classic? Every shop but one: the Black Market's [Ankh shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/ankh-shop), a room with no entrance of its own, has none. ## See also - **Related:** [General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store), [Bomb Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb-shop), [Weapon Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/weapon-shop), [Clothing Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/clothing-shop), [Rare Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/rare-shop), [Dice House](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/dice-house), [Kissing Parlor](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/kissing-parlor) ## References [^1]: [`scripts/scrRoomGen.gml:437-447`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGen#L437-L447) [^2]: Clip [shop-sign/bomb-shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/shop-sign#clip-shop-sign-bomb-shop) [^3]: [`objects/oSign/destroy.gml:1-9`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oSign/destroy#L1-L9) [^4]: [`scripts/scrRoomGen.gml:413-426`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGen#L413-L426) [^5]: [`objects/oSolid/destroy.gml:1-7`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oSolid/destroy#L1-L7) [^6]: [`objects/oBomb/step.gml:6-17`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oBomb/step#L6-L17) [^7]: [`scripts/scrRoomGen2.gml:452-462`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGen2#L452-L462) [^8]: [`scripts/scrRoomGen3.gml:379-389`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGen3#L379-L389) [^9]: [`scripts/scrRoomGen4.gml:481-491`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGen4#L481-L491) [^10]: [`scripts/scrRoomGenMarket.gml:347-356`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGenMarket#L347-L356) [^11]: [`scripts/scrRoomGenYeti.gml:398-408`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGenYeti#L398-L408) [^12]: [`scripts/scrRoomGenMarket.gml:112-116`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGenMarket#L112-L116) ### Source code - [`objects/oSign/destroy.gml`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/objects/oSign/destroy) - [`scripts/scrRoomGen.gml`](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/source/scripts/scrRoomGen)
