Is there a reason that sometimes the box is sometimes one pixel away from him and other times it is right next to him? Just thought I'd point that out in case it becomes an issue for some reason.

Unfortunately progress is exceedingly slow right now due to school and stuff :/ Plus its in a stage where I need longer-ish chunks of time to get progress done, since there really isnt anything I can do in quick stretches right now, and that really hurts progress when I'm really busy unfortunately :(

Don't worry tho, this *will* be finished, its just a question of when :P

Well, I'm certainly glad to hear it's not dead. :) The engine is fantastic. How are you doing your intersection calculations for when you shoot a portal? I mean, it's tile-based so wouldn't you have to iterate through all 4 walls of each tile until you found the nearest intersecting wall? I'd think that would be pretty slow to calculate, but it seems you possibly found a better way to do it?

Thanks :D What I do is that when you shoot a portal, it casts a ray in the direction you shoot, incrementing it a little bit each time it checks to see if its in a wall.  Once it hits a wall, it does a quick check to see what the angle of the wall it hit is, and then it places a portal there that corresponds to the angle.  There is some more tricky stuff involving bumping and the like, and what happens if you have a portal on edges and stuff, and it can get really complicated, and can get really slow, but luckily this is axe, so its not tooooo slow, and its only once per frame, so its barely even noticed anyway :)

Awesome, well it seems to work really well! I'm working on writing a portal game for Android, which will allow for some heavier calculations without too big of a slow down, but I'm still trying to keep it light, so I'm just looking for good ways to ease up on the large calculations.

Ooh sounds awesome :D Just give me a hollar if you want me to detail the physics of what I do in more detail, I'd be happy to :)

Android apps are all done with Java. They have a lot of documentation on their development website: http://developer.android.com

It would be cool if you could have portals on angled walls(45 degrees) but I guess that's a bit out of the scope of Axe :P

Well, you can code on droid with python, along with other scripting langs, if you can get a command line.

That would require a rewrite of the way portals are handled unfortunately, plus it would be crazy hard to get working D:
