I'm just curious as to how you got Axe to support the 5x5 sprite size?

I didn't!  I just use 8x8 sprites like normal.  For instance the sprite for the character is technically 8x8, but the only pixels in the sprite that are black are in the top-left 5x5 region.  When you display it with a Pt-On() command, you can't even tell the difference :)

Wow! ok... but how did you get it to be so seamless? (as in there is no white space?)

As long as you use Pt-On or Pt-Change, the extra white around your 5x5 tile won't interfere with any of your graphics, and will be just the same as if you had a 5x5 sprite routine.  If you end up needing Pt-Off, you have to get a little more creative with masking.

No, box physics was never planned in that way.  It just causes too many problems due to the fact that boxes can go through portals.  Not only would I have to build something like Zedd, but it would also have to work through portals :P
I see. woulda been cool though :D

Loved this place, still the best producers of power metal, and sparked my dreams of coding.

A friend of mine gave me this link this morning, knowing I like calculator programming. She thought I might be interested :3

I then proceeded to show off Portal and got a few friends quite engaged in the game :D

Maybe somebody already noticed it, but today I found out that you can hold the Alpha button and you fly(I was just messing around with buttons). :P

It's an Easter egg that is only unlocked if you have beaten the game :)

What does "LOAD" do in the menu? I tried clicking on it, and all it does is send the cursor to play.

That's for if you make your own level.




It would have been cool if you could have implemented turrets, but I guess this takes place before the time of the turrets. :P My friend was asking me about why they weren't in it.
