Wow awesome! And nice to see another update! Sorry to hear about the RAM clear though x.x

I like how it still runs quite fast and the complexity of this. So true to the original portal. If ticalc doesn't feature this when this comes out, it will be a real shame!

really? Awesome! I assume you don't redraw the entire tilemap every frame, right?

yeah, it doesnt change at all except for when the doors open and close, so there really is no need to :) I just have it stored in the backbuffer.  The buttons modify the backbuffer when needed

Aaah ok. Seems like a good idea :)

I can't wait to see boxes in action. How do you think they will be controlled?

So they will have basic physics when you are not holding onto them, but when you press Alpha and are near a box, you pick it up and it moves with you, then you press alpha to drop it again.  Simple as that :)

Aaah ok ^^ Sounds like a good deal :)

What about collision detection in walls when moving them around? Will it be possible to push them too? (like SirCmpwn HL2D game)

No, there will be no pushing of boxes for speed reasons unfortunately.  This is because with portals, the physics becomes infinitely more difficult, so i am forced to make everything a lot simpler

Aaaah ok, just curious. Regardless, it is still an EPIC game already :)

You can push boxes (or rather cubes :P) around in the original game? I don't think so... Picking them up is truer to the original game, and if it is indeed simpler, than definitely go with it.
Great screenie, too. Keep up the good awesome EPIC work! :)

Mhmm I think if you moved pretty fast into them, they moved. I could be wrong, though. That said, it may be better to not allow this, else it may make things too hard to code, given all the physics and stuff.

yeah, you could push boxes around in the original portal, but it's more logical and convenient to pick them up. ahh.. the good days of the companion cube being used as a shield (:

Oh wow, don't talk to me about LV 16 (I think it is? Maybe 17...). Tried to beat it last evening, and even using the two blocks as shields, I still couldn't figure out how to get past all the lasers things

that's my favorite level. i remember doing it in "advanced" mode, where all the bots are in cages so you can't kill them... but if you're trying to figure out how to, DJ, if you looked above the bots there was usually a place you could shoot a portal. then you'd make a different portal elsewhere and drop a cube through it, onto the bot.

builderboy: if a player picks up a cube, then walks to the edge so that the cube is over the edge, will the cube fall down? especially if the player is positioned like so, with just 1 pixel of his leg on the edge of a cliff:
                     PLAYER| CUBE
                        |_   ____
                      _|_   |     |
_____________|     | |___|
  Cliff              |
                     |
