(in this gif, you'll also notice another bug where sometimes the intro animation cuts off very early. i don't know what makes that happen) That's in fact by intention, and should only happen when you start the game from the level editor. In this case, I assume that your main focus is on testing the...

OK, the first few reported bugs and issues are fixed and/or changed now. Again, I have to say how much I appreciate all those bug reports and observations regarding the new BD game engine! I cannot emphasize enough how helpful all this constructive feedback is! :-) OK, here we go -- what's fixed so ...

I have splitted this post into a new topic, as it is not that helpful in the original thread. To make this clear: The new BD engine will be the last native game engine to be added to R'n'D. But: All other games that would fit into R'n'D (like those you have mentioned) may be added as additional game...

Thanks a lot for all these bug reports and similar observations, ncrecc! And for the very good descriptions with animated GIFs, if needed, which made everything very clear.

I will work through these posts and try to fix everything!

i'm now realizing it might have been more tactful to open with my amazement [...] :lol: Not needed, I'm more interested in how I can improve things. ;-) by "+" i indeed meant "="; "-" and "="/"+" are right next to each other on US layouts Yes, I alr...

S as the default bind for the "slow playing speed" key is a bit inconvenient; i use WASD for moving and was confused why i couldn't move down. Oh well, that was indeed what I suspected when I added it (as a complement to the "f" for "fast speed while key is pressed" as...

Thanks, filbo! I messed up adding the links like on the news entry on the R'n'D web site, just doing a dumb copy+paste!

Links added now, as it should be!

Mostly not playable because new elements not exists. But loaded to visit in game editor. Finally! All those levels will be playable with all new BD game elements using the new native BD game engine in the next R'n'D version! :) Two things should be sorted out now: - Which BD games are still missing...

if it needs to fit on a single line, perhaps "Allow Skipping Levels: No / Ask / Yes"

It's so simple, yet pretty clear!

It will be used in the next version, replacing those confusing previous two setup options!

Thanks again for this improvement!

The first pre-release of the upcoming new major release version 4.4.0.0 is available for testing now! This new version will finally contain what was planned decades ago: A native game engine that is compatible with Boulder Dash , the classic game that started it all! This game engine will make it po...

Thanks a lot for bringing the case of the classic Sokoban level sets (especially those of David W. Skinner) back to my attention! :) In fact, you do not need a converter! And you don't have to be a programmer to convert them for R'n'D! :-) It may be long forgotten (I think it was discussed decades a...

I also would say just try it out and see what happens. :) There may indeed be discussions that work better in real-time than in a web forum, where discussions may take days and weeks, and not every discussion must always be made in the forum. As soon as something is available, I promise I will have ...

I will be unhappy with this if useful discussion happens there and is not copied here, as I am not going to add Yet Another online forum to my rounds. What if you raise whatever discussion you think you were going to raise there, here, and see how it goes, first? This is only slightly less realtime...

Hi Bryan, indeed you are right -- I can see ten tapes from you played on 2024-04-28, and they are all marked as "broken_tape". I will check what might be the reason for this error message, and will let you know once I know more!

First of all, welcome to the forum! :-) I think this could be a good idea if there are enough people interested in a chat room for R'n'D (taking into account that this forum is really low-traffic recently)! As I would probably not set it up by myself, and wouldn't be sure which existing service (lik...
