Hm...on my calc, you can toggle land while you're in the air...that's weird. Show me tomorrow at school. And I'll also show you how to get past the "system GLITCHES in your favor!" level tomorrow at school. In the final release, I'll include a "Hint Guide", just some little hints to help you get past any levels you might be stuck on.
I kinda zipped through the between-game text, just download it if you want to read it So far, there are 17 levels, and the final game will have 20, so I'm really close to a final release. I just need to design a splash screen and the last three levels, wrapping up the story and whatnot.
A 3.0 GHz processor isn't weak at all - my fastest computer here has a 1.6 GHz w/ ~2Gb RAM, and while it's not that fastest, I only ever notice it when I'm playing Minecraft. If you purchase everything detailed in your first post, as far as I can see, you can't go wrong.
ok, I was moderately bored and played through the whole 17000 byte level (holy shnikey) and it was pretty good, faithful to the original, but it wasn't particular interesting, because I played the original quite recently and also because of no enemies. Nice job!
Please read through that, at least in passing. It really is valuable info, and will help I think to reduce spammy and five-second questions on this site (not that there's an abundance, but there are some)
Anyways, even if you don't read through that whole article, please read through this story (also found on the post):
Spoiler For Spoiler:
Bob pointed into a corner of the office. "Over there," he said, "is a duck. I want you to ask that duck your question."
I looked at the duck. It was, in fact, stuffed, and very dead. Even if it had not been dead, it probably would not have been a good source of design information. I looked at Bob. Bob was dead serious. He was also my superior, and I wanted to keep my job.
I awkwardly went to stand next to the duck and bent my head, as if in prayer, to commune with this duck. "What," Bob demanded, "are you doing?"
"I'm asking my question of the duck," I said.
One of Bob's superintendants was in his office. He was grinning like a bastard around his toothpick. "Andy," he said, "I don't want you to pray to the duck. I want you to ask the duck your question."
I licked my lips. "Out loud?" I said.
"Out loud," Bob said firmly.
I cleared my throat. "Duck," I began.
"Its name is Bob Junior," Bob's superintendant supplied. I shot him a dirty look.
"Duck," I continued, "I want to know, when you use a clevis hanger, what keeps the sprinkler pipe from jumping out of the clevis when the head discharges, causing the pipe to..."
In the middle of asking the duck my question, the answer hit me. The clevis hanger is suspended from the structure above by a length of all-thread rod. If the pipe-fitter cuts the all-thread rod such that it butts up against the top of the pipe, it essentially will hold the pipe in the hanger and keep it from bucking.
I turned to look at Bob. Bob was nodding. "You know, don't you," he said.
"You run the all-thread rod to the top of the pipe," I said.
"That's right," said Bob. "Next time you have a question, I want you to come in here and ask the duck, not me. Ask it out loud. If you still don't know the answer, then you can ask me."
