On a semi-related note:
I was playing Builderboy's original BASIC portal game this morning, and I treated myself a 'Still Alive' when I beat it.

Builderboy, tonight I will try and make Still Alive for you to roll with your credits.  It will be a triumph for us all.

That would be awesome!  How much memory do you think it would take?

Not too much.  Two bytes for each note, plus the player code.

That'd be cool. Too bad most people don't have the adapter necessary to listen to sound, though. :(
If you do this successfully (most likely), I'll look into getting an adapter. (And, offtopic, a silver-link cable, which I want for other purposes)
Any progress lately, Builderboy?

Yay! Finally I have a reason to use my adapter! (for once, having a Juke isn't a curse!)


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

I am actually very close to getting button support finished :D I shall post a screenshot once Im done ^^

As for the contest, i will not be submitting an entry, as i have quite a bit of active and inactive projects right now and i cant bring myself to add another to the plate :P I was actualy also thinking of helping to judge for the contest, since i wont be submitting an entry.

Aaaah ok it's up to you. I guess we need some judges at least anyway plus I can understand that it can be hard to keep up when you have too many projects at once :P.

I hope to see the screenshot soon for Portal ^^

Woohoo I got the buttons working!  I lost my progress from yesterday due to a silly RAM clear, and in my haste to get buttons working i neglected to archive or backup :P Oh well, i rewrote it today, better than ever!  The buttons activate when you step on them, and trigger doors elsewhere in the level to open.  Buttons are a part of the object system actually, and not part of the tilemap, and so it was a little tricky to get the map loader to automatically remove the button from the tilemap and convert the data into object format. It probably would have been a lot easier if i wasn't such an idiot ;D I was using L5 for my Object stack, and then drawing to the screen to debug.  Well silly me forgot drawing text to the screen messes with L5 :P Ouch that took a while to find.  Well i got it working finally :) Here is a tasty screenie for you!

Some things i still need to work on:
Automatic horizontal doors
Formatting issues with button terrain
Add BOXES!  Hells yes this will be bomb
