Coming back...
I just made some big data compression, and 500 more bytes are off :
Rewrote the labyrinth's graphical engine, which added (unexpectedly) rounded angles. (~ 250 bytes)
Also took the labyrinth's Map data and switched from byte structure to nibbles (~ 250 bytes)

Always when i had flash corruption it was fixed by re-sending the OS

The memory corruption was fixed (thanks !), but I uninstalled zStart, I got too many problems with it.
Switching to NoShell + Omnicalc.

I finally got some spare time, so I'll probably upload the files (and screens) this afternoon !


I need an idea for some kind of "action" level (in which there is no need to think).
The author of idea I'll select will win a FABULOUS prize !! (no, actually I will only mention him on the level screen  )


Spoiler : the next labyrinth will have teleporters...

Last change before uploading :
* Fixed when creating a new file, then pressing something else than Enter, then selecting Continue allowed you to enter weird levels (entering them would display the ending screen, until level 0 is passed which would make you enter level 1).

Uploaded the files, see first post !
Also, look at the FAQ (you may find something interesting ?)

Sorry for triple-posting...

Finally, I made this thing !
There are a few graphical glitches, but because I didn't copy data correctly

I also released a cheating device, which can't edit data while the game is running, but can hack the save after execution.

Okay, give me screens now !
[EDIT] The screenshots are now broken, see this post for the newest version with correct screenshots

The file couldn't be hosted on omnimaga (too large ), so there it is !
All the files are in the zip, but you may download the files individually

Development is going on, bugfixes and bugs came with it, as did NPCs !
Saves created with old versions may give strange bugs.
I recommend :
1. Delete save file
2. Use Cheating Device to set MapID to 0, and fix other strange values by yourself.
Remember : the save length changed !


Changelog (Kinda) Or Comparison With My Last Post

There are a few graphical glitches, but because I didn't copy data correctly

Maybe I am too lazy to fix the pixels when the guy looks right (even if he looks right more often than left), but the door graphics are now correct !

I also released a cheating device, which can't edit data while the game is running, but can hack the save after execution.

There now is a very strange bug with it : when you open it, it changes save data even if you don't open the save file 
[EDIT] Fixed, but another bug has been introduced, and it makes the game unplayable.
Release is delayed.

Isn't there something ?

Now it is made differently :
1. It is not possible anymore to walk on it
2. It will be possible to remove the cross when digged, and then to walk on where it was.
    I just need to be less lazy and implement NPC state save

A small glitch (fixed in my development build)

I FIXED IT !!! YAY !!

Example : rotate your guy without changing its target tile

Now, it does NOT change the tile it is "looking" at, I mean pressing Enter will still trigger the tile you were looking at before "manually" rotating. It is saved in another part of the file

If you enter a zone you usually can warp only if you entered aan odd number of doors with having entered and even number of doors (and vice-versa), you will stay on the doors after warping.
This is because a flag is changed when walking through a door.

Nope ! Now it works differently.
This kind of glitch isn't possible anymore 




Wait, I just need to find the files on my second computer, and they'll be disponible along with new screenshots !

ISSOtm: you seem to be using Dropbox as your image host. When you do that, please make sure you put the images in the public folder and copy the links from there. Currently, they seem to be in a non-public location because I can't see them (Dropbox gives me an error saying I'm not allowed to view those files, so your images will probably only show up to you and not anyone else).

Very nice so far, looking at the scrreens. Gonna try the game when I have computer access.

Thanks !
If you try the game, you will "finish" it quite quickly, I need to make a better scenario / bigger map  (<  Note : remove this when game is completly coded)

Progress :

Currently working on :

• The cross that spots the key disappears when it is taken   > DONE
  It is also saved in the file, actually I implemented the save of NPC visiblity
  
• A better animation when unlocking the locked door in the garden   > DONE
• Removal of some now unused code   > DONE
• Optimization on checking whether you should be able to walk or not on the target tile,   > DONE (and another one is being done)
  that should also make movement smoother.   > The script is faster only when the tile you try to walk on isn't walkable
• Expanded scenario and map !   > BEING DONE

A bit more than 7200 bytes
Found (one) strange bug : when selecting Enter to start the "Save" sequence, if you press Enter before the text appears, it will not process the save sequence, but instead trigger the interaction script. Unknown reason.
I think others will follow (der:P)

Do you plan to make this a Flash app or program in its final form?

Oh ! I was planning to announce this !
...Yeah, it seems that I'm going to need compiling as an app
I finally reached THE limit : my calc refuses to run the program, it is too large (8713 bytes raw, + 14 header bytes = 8727, hey, I thought it was possible to run programs up to 8816 bytes large).

There is also an option to compile to applications. This uses very hackish code and may not work on all models of calculator so be cautious when using this feature as this is the one that can cause archive corruptions if the it fails to write the application correctly.

I'm making a backup

Now, I am just afraid of one thing : the Archive is actually Flash Memory, and if it is as the SSDs, it can be only written to a limited amount of times (I found 100,000, can anyone confirm ?). I don't want to make it un-erasable !


[Compiled once...]
Wait, it looks like the map is corrupted. Sprites, too ? Oh.

[Compiled twice...]
Wait,  Axe displayed "Size : ROBOT" (which is the name of the Omnicalc font I'm using) ?
The game IS corrupted , not the source, but the app went mad.

[Compiled again, unarchived the source...] <-- Yes, that changed the app
There is DEFINITELY a problem. I uninstalled Omnicalc, to see if that fixes anything.
No way. The sources are on Dropbox, can anyone try to see where is the problem ? Maybe it is just Axe that fails.
