Well, no screens yet (realy ugly temp graphics) but I have put together a simple game engine with a few features and enemies with AI. Most of it is basicaly a rewrite of cat trap's features, but that not what this game is going to be. I'm not sure intirely what it will be yet...or how fast I can get it...but it works very well on an SE. I am currently doing this only in my free time at school so I can continue to work on my other stuff.  This may also evolve into just a template for other games...so if you want to discuss or suggest blocks/elements to interact with...

features: (current)
scrolling

game elements: (done)
Floor:: a blank tile you walk on
Wall: a solid object you can't go through
Hole: can impede your progress and consumes blocks, and now can
kill you
Large Block: solid, can be pushed onto other floor tiles, will turn a hole into a floor
Small Block: solid and can be pushed like its larger, will fall into holes and disapears forever
White Button: (All switch): will turn all switches, open all closed doors and close the opened
Dark Button: (All switch): will turn all switches, close all open doors and copen the closed
Closed Door: acts like a wall
Open Door: acts like a floor
Key:get one at a time, turns a door into a floor

(I optimised the switches, but they are still slow and I think they should only be used in small rooms)

It is built off of it, and in its current state I could probably make that game in a short time, but realy this is me making a big sandbox of features to play around with and see what I can make.  The all switches (switches and doors on the whole screen of this type flip from black to white and open to closed) work ok for small areas, buta at say...16X16...it is not reliably fast...so I am going to see if I can make a asm template for doing stuff like this (which should be realy easy to assemble thanks to brass...the desing/coding is the hard part) and I am also working on making a number of other types of buttons including ones that have "circuits" between them (think like inside the great zambugwahmbawhatshisname statue's head in GS2) and ones that activate when no monsters are in play.  This is not a game in any sense...yet.

Cool, sounds like a interesting version of it. And I am sure you will wow us on this project, just like on your others!

well, I didn't get what I wanted to get done...but here is pic I made in PAINT to demonstrate the features.  These are the exact same graphics, they are just at a speed that doen't reflect the game

wow reminds me an asm game, pretty nice graphics, how fast does it run on a regular 83+?

I didn't think it was. I use paint too. Btw, how fast does it really go?

Kinda like that lizards greyscale game for the z80 calcs. I don't see the enemies in the screenie- what kinds are there?
