2048^2... that's pretty big there. I'm still on 32^2 tile games. Meanwhile, the Angband community is working on adapting some new 64^2 tiles. As to getting a smaller target audience, you have to expect that anyway from making the game 2D. Kids these days and their impossible expectations! Sanity or ...

Another thing I threw together in a hurry. This is a FreeBASIC remake of the original Wumpus by Gregory Yob. Unlike Richard Clark's excellent version of the game (download at http://users.freebasic-portal.de/rdc/programs.html#mozTocId153108 ) this is the version which has a dodecahedral maze and men...

Yeah, I never have any space left in the margins when I solve impossible problems. Fermat ftw! @Destructosoft: Sure they're just not pulling the images from the server? That would be much smarter than re-rendering the images every time. If the images don't change, cache them. Yeah, it seems likely ...

Congrats!

I notice their server isn't rendering the algorithm very fast, but the results are very important for anyone making games with size 32 tiles who want to use some classic size 16 tiles without making them all pixely or blurry. Most of the bicubic and other enlarging reimaging methods have been inadeq...

I added the save feature and am currently working on the sfx and squashing a couple bugs. I'm sorry if it isn't being done as fast as the original two-week nightmarish pace I set for 1.0. Another change I wish to make is to have the various different creatures attack each other on occasion (kind of ...

If it helps, the commercial version of this game in the 1980s was called Pythagoras, and Solomon Golomb the famous mathematician published a book in the 1960s called "Polyominoes" which mentioned it and other similar games and their solvability. (Seems long out of print, sadly, so I can't ...

Well, if anyone can make a roguelike, it would be the author of "Let's Make A Roguelike"! I wish you the best of success.

Why should it go to 1.0? MAME went from 0.99 to 0.100. We could keep this joke going forever! Maybe even develop triple precision so we can have enough digits.

Ack! I forgot about ImageDestroy. Sorry about that. (I promise to not release quickies again. :)

I loved those games back when they were in the yellow and red books. Seabattle (or "Underwater Pie Lob" as the anti-violence advocate David Ahl put it) was a great first game for me to convert to what was then an unfamiliar QBasic with mysterious Get and Put commands. As for Star Trek, the...

"Object" is an reserved word in current SVN version of FreeBASIC and the keyboard do:loop needs an sleep command my CPU will use 100% and the cooler begins to make noise Thanks for the input and corrections. Can you explain how the maze was generated? I'm lost on how such a complex maze, ...

A little something I whipped up this morning. Demonstrates a 3/4 perspective maze with different size tiles to represent walls, floors and objects. Makes use of wall shadows. Also includes a simple game. Feel free to make your own and use better graphics. /'Perspective Maze Demo 2011 Destructosoft O...

My apologies for not having 1.1 yet, which should have sound effects*, a save feature and a few other minor things. I think I made the dungeon too deep, so adding game saving will be top priority now. Optional save when changing levels would be the best solution. That's a nice, code-saving idea. Wis...

I would say it wasn't a roguelike, if only because I've been writing a roguelike since 2008 and it's a lot different than this. Potions are for when you're surrounded by beasts, getting attacked by several at once, or when you've just started the level and haven't got the armor for the level yet. It...
