If you get a BSOD, then it is booting something. Did you change any hardware drivers recently -- or maybe you got a virus of some sort?

pretty much. recursion is confusing, but it produces short code. quicksort using for and while loops is not so eloquent.
Recursion can be very nice... but it also can be very memory hungry.

Great
I hope that all those kinds of bombs and enemies don't end up all together in the same level, because such a level would be really hard 
(I miss the first version of Grav, whose learning curve was gentler than the final version - to my tastes, the final version was too hard and thus, frustrating)
Jumpman offers a perfect level of difficulty for all players. In general, the higher the level, the more difficult it is. That is one thing that makes it so much fun! If you are able to save games at a certain state, it would be cool to have a tremendously hard level
I'm sure I will implement some sort of save feature. However, since each Jumpman level can be completed in less than one minute, I'm not sure it would be worth the programming effort to save in the midst of a level.

we cleaned about 20 more pounds of dust out of the graphics card....
The computer now lasts 60-90 min. although it is still in bad shape.
One fan basically couldn't turn because there was too much dust. I am surprised it broke down this late...
Assuming your problem is with a desktop PC and if you feel comfortable with a little modification... You can buy a 12 volt fan at your local Radio Shack. Hook it up to the yellow (+12v) and a black (ground), then attach it to the place where the original fan was located -- remove the old fan first. If it doesn't fit perfectly, just attach it with a hot glue gun. Another cheap trick to try.

It depends how your parents are and how comfortable you are with working with your hands. But I have fixed similar problems in 3 laptops by taking them apart and using an air compressor on the grate. (just be gentle )
Or... Just buy a can of air and blow through the vents where the heat sink grating (or fins) are located. I bet you will see a plume of dust come out. I do this about every 6 months on my laptop... and it always runs cooler afterword. Cheap and easy trick. Worth a shot. For a more thorough cleaning, you may have to take the laptop apart as thepenguin77 suggested; but I don't think that is absolutely necessary.

Oh my goodness... That, my friend, is awesome!
Keep up the great work!

Go buy a can of air and blow out any collected dust and dust bunnies.

Just when you thought it is was tough enough... How about some runaway bombs:

Does Casio have any CAS calcs?

Today is Veteran's Day for the United States of America.
Please take some time today and tell an active duty service member or veteran that you thank them for their service.
Are there any active duty service members or veterans at Omnimaga other than myself? If you are, I say "Thank you!" and I salute your service.

As always, I appreciate everyone's comments and support.
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I expect my doctor will release me to go back to work. So, Jumpman progress will slow down a bit when that happens.
I still have enemies, enemy waypoints, moving bombs, moving platforms, falling girders, moving ladders, triggers (that cause an action to occur), doors, gunfiring & arrow shooting by Jumpman to implement before the engine is complete.
I am considering releasing a beta with a subset of levels before I get all of the above items completed.
