Shiny! I'll try this out as soon as I unpack my Nspire.

Just a quick note about the demo in the beta release thread, this was compiled without the "volatile" in the isKeyPressed( function, so there may be places where you press a key and it does not respond.  The next time I get around to compiling this, this issue will be resolved.

Also, the current progress:


Implemented
Ladders (still a bit buggy)
Push Blocks
Rewrite Drawing engine for 68k version (should be very easy)

Top Priority

Perfect Ladders
Add remaining Levels that will be built into the game

A Little Bit Later
New Graphics
Implement game engine in 68k version (this is going to be one of the last things that I do, as I don't want to fix a bug in one version and forget to fix it in the other)
Level Editor/Loading of external levels

Still deciding if I will add...
Animated Pieces (like the bricks, spikes)
Smooth Scrolling

New beta posted in the release thread!

No new features were added, but I fixed many, many bugs!

I have been making fair progress on this lately.  I hope to have a release of the game, hopefully, before halloween, then, I will start work on the level editor, which I will release after so I don't hold up release on the actual game.

Yeah, level 2 is not there yet.  I have pics of all of the original levels, but I just didn't type them in yet, choosing to just add the new features to the current level (there should not be any ladders in level 1 for example).  I am going to start adding the other levels soon!

1.7 compatible version uploaded in the beta releases thread.  I have not made too much progress on this lately.  As I predicted, I was killed with school work during the first two weeks.  The amount of work is cooling off slightly now, so I have had some time to program.  Mainly, I have been working on Chip's Challenge, playing around with the new Ndless (this has taken up a lot of my programming time), and experimenting with a possible new project.

EDIT:  I should note that I really don't have too much more work with the game itself (only have to add levels and fix a few bugs).  The level editor might come later though if I lack motivation to write one.

Glad school work is cooling off. Was it mostly tests of all sorts?

Actually, my tests are just starting now. The thing I really mean by "cool off" is I am getting really fast at doing tasks that occur almost weekly, like, for example, it takes me about half the time to do a chapter summary in US Hist. now than it did in the beginning of the year.

Also will the new version be the same file for Nspire and Nspire CAS? I think I saw somewhere that Ndless 1.7 will use the same file on both CAS and non-CAS models.

Yes, they will be the same.

Also a suggestion: try to not take on too many projects at once unless they're really small, else you can get overhelmed with them and all of them end up being finished years later due to constantly switching from a project to another . It's up to you, though.

That is what I am trying to do.  Besides Trapped and Chip's, I only have one other project I am working on (which is being done in my notebook in school during free time ).

Just a quick update on this (since I have not updated in a while ):

I have begun work on the 68k version of this!  So far, I have about 20% of the Nspire version ported to the 89.  About 75% of what is left to do is mearly copying and pasting code from the Nspire version.  Assuming I have enough free time, this should not take too long to do.
