I didn't know the 83+ game was a port of a DOS game, though. I was sure it was the original. O.O

It was based on "Block-man 1" by Soleau Software. Levels 1-10 of Block Dude are pretty much identical to levels A-J of Block-man (levels 11+ are new).

I didn't know it wasn't an original too, so we can say apcalc's games aren't ports of Block Dude but of Block-Man 1 :P

Very interesting, Goplat!

I was just thinking, in order to keep things original/different, maybe I will include all of the "Block Man" levels in the Lua version, and keep the "Block Dude" levels in the C version! :)

Support for custom levels, maybe?

That would be good but then we'd need file parsing support in LUA. has anyone figured out how to do that on the Nspire yet?

That would be possible, but I think I would then have to include the game code on each page also...

Space wise, it would probably be better to keep them on 1 page

You can store to variables of the current problem with var.store(name, value) (note: it seems this only works if the variable already exists) and recall them with var.recall(name) (returns nil if the variable doesn't exist).

We could possibly save maps as strings...

Does Lua have a good string parser?

Well, for me var.store() perfectly works, even if the variable wasn't there before.
I do not get mad at people, I just want them to learn the way I learnt.

@apcalc: Will this be open source? I'd really like it so I can learn how to use LUA in the NSpire.

Due to the way third-party Lua TNS files are currently generated, they are open source :)
Just decompress the TNS with pretty much any ZIP-capable program or library.

That's not being open source, but nice to know we can have the source.
