Kind of confusing, reading two conversations at once.
Anyways, it wasn't frozen, it would just turn off after it recieved the legitimate password which wasn't the same as the corrupted password.
Problem solved.

Uhmm, back on topic...
I already have it storing it in appvars, such as WHGLVL1, WHGLVL2, etc.  Up to nine levels.
Notice--level editor.  Level's too hard?  Make it easier.  Done.

It's fine. I'm glad you managed to do it, though. Do you redraw the entire tilemap every frame or just the side that is scrolling in? That's one part in particular I never figured out.
Every frame. That's what causes me to worry about speed...
*tloz hopes that it will be okay on his 84+ SE

Blazing fast or not, it looks good already.
Unless there's still a ton more stuff to add, it doesn't look like you'll have much of a problem with speed.

Thanks ;D. The one main thing I'm worried about, though, is how fast it will go if there are enemies, because if you think about it, they will need to also have their own variables and code for movement and collision detections and all that fun stuff

I'm not sure what the rules are about helping with code...
Try reading through some of the old forums. Something like June, in the posts/critique thread someone said something that has really helped me.

Yeah but what I mean is that people who will judge the games will want playable levels to be included. If somehow we get more entry than expected, example, 10, and most people are busy with school, they'll not want to spend hours making new levels, so they'll try the included ones. If the levels are way too hard, they may not enjoy the game and may vote for something else. However, it is your entry so it's up to you to decide. Just a suggestion I give.

As for help, you need to keep usage of other ppl help to a certain minimum. If you use way too much source code from other people, this will affect your originality score. if you get help but use no source code from other people who helped you, you will be fine, though.

tloz, that looks like it's going to be AMAZING!

anyways, my original idea is definitely not going to be finished for the contest(although i still intend to make it at some point), but i still want to enter. i am now working on a minigame pack similar-ish to the homescreen game pack. atm i have one finished(actually, it's just the very first program i ever made in axe modified a bit to fit with other stuff and save a high score), a couple others planned out(and in one case started), and other ideas for which i am currently testing methods. apart from one exception so far, they are all completely original games and will hopefully include a few fun graphics tricks i came up with recently.
EDIT: i also have to look at the new axe manuals to figure out app compiling and modifying os vars in arch as i havent read one since 3.something :P

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 might fit it in the video if I have enough space left for the duration of the 2nd song, I think...

I'm thinking of entering my Minesweeper game!
I don't expect it to do very well though, my originality score is pretty much shot to zero, but it'll be fun to try.
