Rocks'n'Diamonds

the three Wall With Key elements have the same editor description as Normal Wall and display a normal wall in the editor settings. Diamond Key's editor description says it converts all doors into diamonds. it does not. it only converts Trapped Diamonds into diamonds. conversely, Trapped Diamonds do ...

extending walls only animate smoothly if they extend over dirt that was just snapped; otherwise they animate discretely

with smooth element movement, boxes don't animate properly when moving up or left
player exiting teleporter also doesn't animate properly (should use transparent player for this):

photoepileptic users might appreciate an option to turn off the white flash that occurs when you get the last required gem

(see preivous page for more notes/bugs)

BD nuts, BD walls-with-diamonds, and trapped diamonds should count for "automatically count gems needed" (since non-BD nuts and walls-with-BD-style-diamond already do)

in the BD engine, the player moves faster than the camera and can outpace it. this is true regardless of whether smooth element movement or scroll delay are enabled. outpace2.gif dunno if this is also a thing in GDash. if it is, it's probably less noticeable there since you can't turn on smooth move...

in GDash, loose sand and sand balls are given the same coloration as Sand 2. RnD's graphics colors Sand 2 green, but has sand balls and loose sand colored brown like normal sand. ideally these should be consistent so the aesthetic of GDash levels isn't broken as much when displayed in the RnD graphi...

explodable steel walls and diggable steel walls show as the ! character ingame. explodable steel walls also show as ! in the editor. walls.gif (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) the same issue hap...

"use player pushing graphics", "use player up/down graphics", and "mute double falling sounds" options are long enough that they cut into the "yes" nearby (watch when they are highlighted):

something interesting: if i make a new level in the BD engine with the default settings (200ms game cycle delay, PAL timing off), then the game runs a little bit slower than it would in the EM or RND engines. but if i set the game cycle delay to 166ms (1/6th of a second instead of 1/5th of a second)...

in the BD engine, quick-loading tapes with F2 doesn't seem to work; it always just takes you to the intro of the level and pauses.

if smooth element movement is turned on, walking into a pot looks like this: pot.gif the pot appears over rockford while he's still walking to the space where it was. it would be nice if, instead, the pot in its original position remained visible until rockford finished walking to it, and rockford d...

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 used in GDash), as WASD is such a common alternative cursor key mapping. :roll: But I didn't expect to hear that complaint that fast. ;-) i'm now realiz...

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. maybe change the default binds for "slow playing speed" and "fast playing speed" to - and +? (+ is on the same key as = on amer...

1. enter a level 2. turn on single step mode 3. quick save (f1) 4. exit to menu 5. quick load (f2) 1step.png see that cyan dash next to the gray PLAY? that's the "-" of "1-STEP". after you make any movement, it will display properly: 1step_ok.png (i have also gotten a bug where t...
