You are god.
I hate you.
Skill of this level should be a crime.
Very cool. It looks really amazing.

Heh, thank you guys :) And remember to direct at least half of you applause towards Quigibo for writing such an epic parser ^^


wow, just wow. This sure makes it to ticalc front page when it comes out :O

Btw I played Portal for a bit today and yesterday and it's friggin awesome. I normally am not a fan of puzzle games, but this one is so innovative and the way it works makes it enjoyable for ppl who don't like puzzle games.

It also runs friggin fast on my computer. I had everything maxed out and resolution at 1920x1080 and still got 29 FPS when recording with Fraps:
(you can switch to 720p 1080p HD)

Without recording I got between 45 and 55 fps, except when looking through endless portal loops, where I got like 12-13, but that's expected.

Anyway I can,t wait to try the calc version it looks so great now and so true to the real game :)

Heheh, glad you like Portal!  It really is an awesome game, and wow that your computer can support all that stress :O nice!

We never know ^^

But you would prbly have to make sure it's pretty innovative or very complex and finish it before Dec 1st 2010 :P

Well for the innovative part, I'm fairly sure this would be the first successful ported virtual pet with original graphics and such. Complex...I'm sure it'll get there :P The time factor...hopefully not an issue lol.

Well there is one from 2001 called Timigotchy, but I heard it wasn't that great. I guess a more complete one might get attention more

Woo just fixed a particularly nasty bug without adding any code at all! ^^ heh, just had to move some things around, sometimes when you shot a portal when inside another portal your beam would go outside the screen, and keep going until it got into some very unsafe ram to be in :D All fixed now tho, but i discovered a collision bug that will need a tiny bit of recoding in the collision detection.

DEMO!

:O

Use Arrow keys to move left and right, and the number pad to shoot portals.  Portals are shot relative to the 5 key, so you can shoot left, right, up, down, and diagonals.  Press 2nd to load an empty room so you can practice :)

YES! Downloading now!

EDIT: WOW awesome!

Nice job so far, the only thing that confuses me sometimes is I always forget which of the two portal I shooted last, so I end up shooting a portal while trying to go through the other and it'S the wrong one that dissapears x.x, but I guess this can't be helped much. Great job on this game so far!

Thanks guys :) Yeah the portal problem is a common one, and it can get frustrating at times when you dont have anyplace to shoot your portals to just get them out of the way.  In the future tho there will be a feature where you can specify a certain portal to shoot, while keeping the other one locked.  And they will change graphically to reflect this ^^
