@DJ you mean the drop down box?  yeah, that's probably a good idea.

EDIT: Oops, sorry player, didn't see your post.

        Thanks.  I'm not sure the right/left option would be useful.  Like I said earlier, I'm going to use turn-by-turn RPG style battles.  However, I'll work on it.  If it doesn't slow the character movement down noticeably, then I'll use it.

EDIT 2: Hmm...I can't seem to find a sprite that isn't symmetrical that looks good.  I won't use pixel modification.  If someone can come up with a sprite that looks like it has a gun, and can flip vertically I'll use it.  (maybe use the little plus symbol, not the character but the one where you can place it anywhere on screen?)

One that can be flipped vertically.  it should look like its holding a gun.  I'd rather not use pixel modification.

I was thinking maybe something with the little cross you can get with the pt-on command?

Here's one I came up with:



It's not great, but it displays faster than dual-layer.

I kind of like the first one better, but that one allows for the right/left flip.  It also takes up less memory.  (The plus won't overwrite the X).
The key puzzle is coming along well.  Definitely by the weekend I'll have the next update finished.

Phew.  close call.  My map program got screwed up and I almost lost all 3840 characters.  Luckily, I had the strings stored in memory from the last execution.  Disaster averted.

Isn't wasn't really bad at all. I just ran the program, and DCS came up with an error message.  The first layer data was all messed up and the second layer was gone, but I only had to recall two strings and everything was fixed.

Interesting puzzle. I think you should make the wire heights random, though, so people who played the game or saw someone play won't already know a combination.

Difficulty levels sounds cool. ^^

Those look really cool! The only thing with the key game is that do you not get to see the key heights first? Because how are you supposed to know what to guess at first?
