That looks nice!  I'll hopefully be able to try it later today. :)

Another minor update: doubled the potential minefield size and altered the appvar to accommodate future high score stuff.

...

I just spent several days debugging the doubling minefield stuff, only to find out that Axe 0.4.5 supports working directly with nibbles...

Oh well - at least I learned something new.


Also: Important - if you've played a previous version, you have to delete the appvar it created (which is MINES4DE) before playing this new one.
Well, you don't have to, but you'll have some oddities if you tried.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Nice to see updates! And yeah Axe is gonna add that soon, but I guess it's better to not wait because releases are very sparse now that he's at University.

...You can just call me Michael, you know.  Isn't it kind of awkward having to press that underscore?

One key away from the backspace, plus the shift button.

Well, it's awkward for me, at least (which makes logging in a minor hassle)

Please don't be so picky. Some people are just used to calling forum users by their exact nicknames. I personally often omit the underscore, though. It might be because on IRC I was used to auto-completing nicknames with TAB, though.

Yeah, I use tab complete when available, but I try to write entire usernames by hand if need be.

And many of us can do that on the calc too ;)

DJ just sent me a PM, so...

I apologize if that comment appeared rude - that really wasn't my intention.
I just felt because I have difficulty typing the underscore, other people might too, and I wanted to free them from the obligation of having to type in every last character.
It wasn't my intention to be picky - really, I don't personally care what I'm called, so long as it's vaguely recognizable, but I've always felt kind of bad about making people type more then they should.
Once again, my sincere apologies.
