This sounds like a nice project, keep it up!

[DJ Omnimaga]

wow nice make sure you back up the whole thing sometimes though in case something happens (*xlibman

[necro]

Indeed it is, but I am pondering if perhaps I should combine this with a few other games to make a game pack and bundle them in BB.  If a prog is run from bb, how much ram does bb itself take up and how much does it give you to use?  The whole game engine is under a thousand bytes right now and will be optimised eventualy...so how would I be limmited memory wise for levels and such.  Also, I might want to save the actual picture data in one of the BB pic files and save it to pic 125 as a temp so I don't overwrite people's stuff and all...but I don't know what kind of problems that'd cause.  And of course, I'd like to let external levels be made for it some how.

I just discovered I can have a stack of items -9 of up to nine items...for example, push block of and find a rock, push the rock and find another rock, push that one to get a key with a regular floor under it.

O_O wow... that

Sounds great, I hope to see a ss or demo soon!

[necro]

that whole dynamic is intirely accidental and I love it...I hope  to get it done soon too... (to much school work right now)

[necro]

Well, I'll finish the engine this week (spring break) I just added a few things like optimised teleporters, "spiners"(they move you 90 degrees left or right of the direction you headed and switch orientation), and made doors able to require multiple keys.  Going to add save spots and a room manager soon.

[kalan_vod]

Great, I hope to see this soon! Enjoy your spring break!

[dragon__lance]

me 2! Sounds really cool, so will it basically be a puzzle game?

[the_unknown_one]

Dragon_Lance: If you read the name of the game, you'd know.

Necro: Great, I hope you'll finish it soon!

[DJ Omnimaga]
