I was thinking: if so many people have created clones for flash games or are creating them (Linerider, NGame, etc.), why can't somebody create a clone of this game? Sure it won't be first person, but the concept is there, and that is what makes Portal unique. I cannot make it as I do not have sufficient knowledge of assembly, but someone else who has nothing else to do can.

maybe it could be done for calcs, even in pure basic

| I assume you would use MODE (up), ALPHA (left), STAT (right) and APPS (down). XTON would shoot |
Or rather 2nd shoots a blue portal while Del shoots an orange portal. But controls aren't the biggest issue: think about the engine needed. If I were you guys, I'd try out the Flash game and experiment with different possibilities to see if you can start picturing a z80 engine in your head...

No, it think the controls would be the most difficult part because sometimes you have to be able to aim and shoot while running. the game itself doesnt seem all that complex. What was this game originally made for anyways?
eit: no longer stuck, that didnt take long :)

For controls, I'd go w/
Move Left: 2nd
Move Right: Del
Jump: mode
blue portal: alpha or y=
yellow portal: stat or window
portal (any): theta or zoom
pickup/letgo: graph or clear
adjust aim CW: right
adjust aim CCW: left
aim up: up
aim down: down
Kinda complex, but that's what seems intuitive to me.
I really like this platformer/sidscroller incarnation though :)

| i just beat the flash game. the 3D one must be really really hard, especially since you rally need to get timing down. and you can't see everything in level like in a sidescroller. it must be a sick PC/Xbox360 game. btw, it comes in a package called the orange box, iirc. For controls, I'd go w/ Move Left: 2nd Move Right: Del Jump: mode blue portal: alpha or y= yellow portal: stat or window portal (any): theta or zoom pickup/letgo: graph or clear adjust aim CW: right adjust aim CCW: left aim up: up aim down: down Kinda complex, but that's what seems intuitive to me.

Actually, the 3D game is much easier than the 2D Flash game. It is also much funner, but a 3D portal would be practically impossible on a calc (well, maybe not 68k calcs). Also, which level do you think was the hardest? I think it is level 37, but that might just be me...

ya, 37 was annoying until I figured out a good way to get rid of the middle turret.
