Try pressing delete. lol. I thought of the same thing, though, typically, I feel that clear should quit you all the way out because I think that you need to be able to get out as fast as possible. Like when a teacher comes. But ya, delete takes you to the menu, I would have used mode but I can see people accidentally pressing that.

I can probably do external levels, the only annoying part is that the editor might be harder to make than the game. The game only draws an object once, off screen to the right, it is then scrolled to the left. The buffer is also 175 pixels tall, that is how it vertically scrolls so nice. The level data is also set up for this type of movement. It's not set up to be randomly accessed, it has to be read in order.

But I'll start working on it, hopefully it runs at a pretty good speed considering I may have to redraw and scroll the screen after every change, but as long as I don't display it to the screen, it should scroll pretty fast.

Edit:
   I also don't think that the extra levels will have stats either. I don't see a good way to save them, the choices are: make an appVar for each level, or put the level stats with the level name in the appVar. Neither of these are very nice. Besides, the second one would bloat the appVar over time.

With school coming up soon I uploaded this to ticalc. The only changes that I made was adding a pause button. I didn't put a level editor in because I feel like people wouldn't really want to make their own because the defaults are already good enough. Plus I'm lazy.

Here is the link. Go and get it.

Glad to see this on ticalc ^^. I need to retry this

Nice job Thepenguin77. I hope during school, you aren't too extremly busy and stuff

I saw the gif in your avatar, penguin, and I was constantly searching for the thread. i had seen the "impossible game" thread being posted to int he "recent posts list" and always assumed it was something about...well...you know....*evil smile*

dittos

this looks wonderful, and the timing is perfect to(my school starts in two days). it shall definitely be VERY popular around our campus when i bring it in. thanks for spending your time giving us a way to spend ours =D

This program looks pretty cool. I've made a note to myself to take a closer look at it when I get a chance.

Yeah, thanks to you evil file archiver I lost the game when looking at the front page recent files earlier...

j/k it's really an awesome game

Glad everyone likes it. I was debating the pause button but, I was like, "Well, all good games have them."

This is a great game.  Very addicting.  I have discovered, that, for the ipod level, if you hold down 2nd, you will make it all the way over the first "hill" of blocks (which is the second group of blocks) before hitting a spike.

Interesting you noticed that. I bet there are a lot of other ones we don't know about, especially in the xbox one because the ipod one is designed to trick you.

Good news to all those 83+ users out there because this is my first ever game that works for your calcs. The only difference is that those ones run slightly faster/slower because they use halts instead of crystal timers. This game might even work with a smart view because I used big delays, ~90 clocks instead of 60 clocks per screen write.

If anyone manages to beat a level, I'd love to hear it. This game really is all skill because for instance, I took the game-winning screen shot on my first try. So practice makes perfect.

Yeah, that's good for me because the only calc I own is a TI-83+. I'll definitely try this game.
