What I'm thinking is that since so many people are interested in beta testing, I might just release the beta in the Private Matters section for people with 100 or more posts...idk if that's a good idea tho.

Yeah, I would say it's going to be another about two weeks before a beta release is out.

Okay, Builderboy and I have reached a couple decisions. The beta build will be released two weeks from Saturday, and sent to six beta testers. You will know who you are a little while beforehand. Two weeks from the beta release (so four weeks from this Saturday) the preliminary release will be released in the Private Matters section. Some undefined length of time afterwards, the secondary release will be released, with a few extra features the preliminary release will not have.

Some points of interest:
  • Both releases (beta and preliminary) will be programs using Fullrene, not apps
  • Beta testers will have access to all 28 planned levels
  • The preliminary release will support external levels and a level editor

I still hope someone will continue this. Now that Graviter is pretty much Portal (with extra stuff), maybe Leafiness0 could include your Portal level designs in his game?

Eh, I wouldn't say that. Graviter has lots of stuff Portal X doesn't have, and Portal X has lots of stuff Graviter doesn't have. I really think they should just be two separate games, so we can all have two fantastic games instead of just one. BuilderBoy's put quite a lot of work into making the Portal X levels unique and very oriented towards the specific elements the Portal X engine supports, so I don't think leafiness0 should try and copy it into Graviter. I'm sure leafiness0 will be able to come up with lots of great levels that are completely different from the Portal X levels.

Also, if you read the last like page-ish, I said:

Also, I've mentioned this a bit here and there to a few people but may as well say here that I'm finishing this project

So I'll get around to it. There's really not a whole lot left to do.
Wow totally missed that. I hope you can finish it! O.O Good luck reading his code, though :crazy:

Yeah, thanks. We're actually working together on it now, he's doing the engine related stuff (cause he understands that) and I'm doing stuff with the menu and external level support and whatnot.

Pretty much. That, and Runer112 went through and helped him optimize it, basically destroying any readability that might have once been there. ;)

Ah that's cool to hear. This will definitively be a huge POTY contender when it comes out.

Program of the year. It's an annual award Ticalc.org website holds. All programs there that made front page news between the date of the previous year POTY start and the next (usually November or Early December) are selected for polls at the end of the year, then each winner gets a special screenshot and are flagged as winner in the POTY pages. This year has less programs, though, because from Late 2010 to Early 2011 ticalc lost their news editor staff for a while and nothing would get featured despite the many releases. However they still appear to have a good selection for 2011 so far (at least 83+ and Nspire stuff).

There was the possibility that Omni has a similar award too, as it covers a wider range of games and programming tools (ie they do not need to be in Omnimaga nor ticalc.org archives to be eligible) and large categories would be split in half (games and utilies), but I was afraid that managing some of the polls would be a mess.
