If you make the portals snap to the 5x5 grid wouldn't that sometimes end up with some weird situations.  Like standing above a floor and shooting down, and even though there is plenty of open space the portal still jumps to the left or to the right of your player?

ITT: builderboy reveals his struggles while writing portal on calc.

Lol.

Also yes, I'm supporting the project just like aeTIos.

Update: portals now work in four directions. I took Builderboy's advice decided not to have them snap to the 5x5 grid after all. Instead: portal bumping!    If the player tries to make a portal where it would hang off of a wall or be on top of another portal, it shifts the new portal automatically.

I'm also going to optimize my horribly redundant code and hopefully have a source release soon.

Yup, that's included too! I made it so that once the wall, it moves side to side (by greater increments) until either my really long if statement is satisfied (checks if wall is behind portal, not in front of portal, and portal isn't hanging over) or until its repeated a certain amount of times (to prevent an endless loop).

Good update and progress.

Any progress on this? I'd love to play through another portal game on my calc

It is dead, I exchanged emails with him. Sad because it looked good. If someone wanted to continue it he might give you the existing source code.

I dont have any projects and i would not mind a new project, but i bet i would just rewrite everything from scratch after looking at the code for 5 minutes
