Weird bug, not sure why but it just froze when i tried to play Heaven, the box is in mid jump and my calculator stopped responding.

11 months after losing the source, I have put it back together. The source I have now looks like source that I could have personally written. It was a long journey, but it is finally complete.

Here's what I had to do to accomplish this:
  • Disassemble it in IDA and rename all of the labels to meaningful things (old)
  • Export it to z80 (old)
  • Run it through a program that takes out all of the IDA crap (comments galore with awkward tabbing all around)
  • Convert my level data back into meaningful code (this was the setback that made me wait this long)
  • Manually go through and convert ugly hex numbers to decimal
  • Turn "magic numbers" into meaningful math operations
  • Debug the new mess


To give you an idea of why the level data was such a pain, here's what the first 30 seconds of the first level look like:
Code: [Select]
fireAura:
spike(0, 17*3)
double(0, 16*3)
block(0, 1*3)
commandWait(cToggleDark, 3*3 + 1)
blockSingle(0)
commandWait(cToggleDark, 17*3)
double(0, 18*3)
spike(0, 8*3)
double(0, 5*3)
spike(0, 7*3)
block(0, 1*3)
commandWait(cToggleDark, 3*3)
block(1, 4*3)
block(2, 5*3)
block(1, 5*3)
blockSingle(0)
commandWait(cToggleDark, 8*3)
spike(0, 18*3)
spike(0, 16*3)
block(0, 1*3)
commandWait(cToggleDark, 3*3)
block(1, 2*3 + 1)
blockSingle(1)
spike(2, 2*3 + 1)
block(1, 5*3)
blockSingle(0)
commandWait(cToggleDark, 5*3)
spike(0, 12*3)
spike(0, 10*3)
spike(0, 7*3)
spike(0, 9*3)
spike(0, 7*3)
block(0, 1*3)
commandWait(cToggleDark, 3*3)
block(1, 4*3)
block(2, 4*3)
block(3, 4*3)
block(4, 1*3)

And the level data is 1300 lines long...


So finally, I can actually work on this again. I'm going to finally be able to fix a few bugs as well as a few level discrepancies. And, if my creative powers suddenly arise from no where, there might be two new levels in store. At this point, only time will tell.

Here is the source, look at it, love it, but most importantly, it's safe.

All he did was reconstructing the source after it was lost somehow.

This game is a classic.  No matter how many games I have on my calc, I always come back to the impossible game.  Keep up the great work!

Here you go, brand new level. And I must say, it is possibly twice as hard as heaven so... good luck.

Make sure you let me know if the level needs any changes. I look at this as a rough draft, so if you recommend I move an entire section of the level, that's not out of the question.

For those who are less awesome and can't see anything past the first 10 seconds of the game, I'll make a screenshot later once those awesome people see it for themselves. (And after I figure out how to make a bot ;D)


Press GRAPH at the main menu to access the new level. I'll add a menu later.

OMG, it's so hard.... how long is it?
Also, you should add a percentage function.
What I mean is like it shows how many percents you are done with each stage...
Just a suggetion BTW
