I've tuned the settings (speed, gravity, ranks, the speed at which the size of the gap decreases, and now it's much easier to go up, so no need to furiously hammer the up key anymore), changed the way the cave is generated and modified some minor things. Now the cave has things like these (just slopes I guess):

Also now the game doesn't lose the high score as soon as you close the document. Now when you do quit the game, it should ask you whether or not you want to save the document, pressing yes will save the high score. The new download link should be there now.

NICE
i got to 1481 so far ty very much
btw i played it on my CX so it works there
but the highscore isn't saved when i close the program and then open it again
(i am not sure if thats a CX issue or normal one)

I know, I think I have a solution for that and will try to make it save the high score even after closing the program (Nspire's Lua doesn't allow writing in files though). I also changed adjusted some settings (adjusted speed, gravity, other things that make the game slightly harder and ranks); just updated the first post for the new download link.

This looks nice. Would you add "floating" walls( /me forgot the name ) ?

You mean in the same way as in the Flash game? I was thinking about, but wasn't sure if it would make the game too hard. I was also thinking about a "surprise factor" (which I will probably use) to have sudden drops or rises, adding some more difficulty to the game. Also increasing the speed of the "pixel" as it gets further. I'll maybe also add a light scrolling background. I'll try out and see how the difficulty is and stuff like that. I might even try to add an options page to change the setting, we'll see.

Hello,

I've been working on a copter-like game called Pixel Escape for a few days. If you have ever played the Copter Game, you should know what this is about. It's the same thing except there's no copter, but a "pixel" (I initially wanted to make it with a copter, but while I was testing the movement with a primitive rectangle, I realized it was quite nice with a trail of squares (looks like a sperm I have to admit), and decided to stick with it).





I filmed it while playing, here you go: (Edit: I'm more or less constantly changing things so the video won't be up-to-date):

The number at bottom left is the current score, while the one in the bottom right is the best score. The game gets harder as your pixel gets further.
Download link somewhere here (june 16 update).
The controls won't be that great if you try it on the computer, especially because of the huge clock difference.
In order to save your score, close the document with the Ctrl + W key combination (which is how you close a document, for anyone who didn't know), it should then ask to save or not.

Concerning the second question, you could just define a new type with typedef; typedef unsigned char byte. If you want a nice way to store strings, you could statically allocate (i.e. it will be allocated during compilation; you shouldn't be able to modify them during execution) them by doing something like char *s = "I like turtles". If you want to be able to change your strings, just allocate some space with malloc and make a pointer point to the newly allocated space (and then you should be able to pass it around functions and modify the string as you want).

What OS version lets me do 3D stuff?

3.0 and up (also Lua support)

I'm working on two projects at the moment and won't have the time to concentrate on this one specifically at the moment. The code started getting slightly messy and so I decided to write a library for tile-based games (with animation, events, interrupts (or interactions, whatever they're called) and other things practical in a game), and that's what I'm doing at the moment. I'm also writing a copter-like game. I got exams coming up also, can't ignore that, so don't except anything just yet.

Ash can now somewhat interact with objects. A sign in this case.

Looks very nice. Why I haven't got a Nspire? o/

Because you aren't in a school that forces you to buy one. ;_;
