Hey Guys,

nSquareCells is a puzzle game modeled after the Steam game SquareCells.  The original in a great game (and there is a current Steam sale).

I attached my current progress (and source).  This is a game where you never should guess but always use logic to solve each level.  To beat each level you need to mark every spot that needs to be marked and destroy the other spots.  I'll at some point make a video that explains how to play this game as I don't think I explain it very well.  The numbers on the top and left sides indicate the number of continuous spots in the pattern.  And multiple numbers means there is a gap (at least 1) between the numbers that represent continuous spots in that pattern.  Later levels have the number in brackets (e.g. [5] ) which means there are that many spots that fit the pattern for that row/column (doesn't have to be continuous).  That might sound complicated and so give it a try starting with the first level and hopefully it'll start to make sense 

This application supports external levels so you can make your own levels.  I gotta fix the later levels.  And for the larger levels (12x12 and higher) I will try to do something to help make this display better on the 320x240 calculator screen.

It should work on any nSpire with ndless 3.1 and higher.  I programmed this all in C verse my usual C++ (it was fun).  And used nGC instead of nSDL to give that a try too!

Let me know what you think!  Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

Long time no see!? What have you been up to? People tend to be very busy (or lazy) these days. Nice to see you're back playing with games and compilers.
Hopefully you'll be able to port these beautiful games to a future (and cheaper) mobile platform.
Cheers,

Well, that's quite an achievement! How did you manage to earn the needed money (you don't have to answer that )?

I've haven't learned how to do mobile programming yet.  At work I do desktop programming.

Well, you should start ASAP. That's the future, IMHO. Desktops do take a lot of space and are sort of ugly. Anyway, your intellectual property should be portable to any future platform.  Besides we do need some creative minds around here. So please do keep exercising your taste for gaming, regardless of the platform.

Agreed; I do intend to dabble in mobile some!  I like to think once you know C++ any language starts to feel like a subset of that and could be picked up rather easily (hope I didn't offend anybody with that).

Nope you can't possibly offend anyone, it's simply not in your nature as a human being, that is. Besides, IMO you right again about the C++, for a change.
Have a beautiful day.
