"override custom artwork: yes" means always override custom artwork. "override custom artwork: no" means never override custom artwork. "override custom artwork: auto" means... what? only override custom artwork when it isn't the same as the current artwork? but that wo...

Would you share the "natural intelligence" algorithm? https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/trained_a_neural_net.png I think that whatever visual parser is used[...] it would have a much easier time parsing levels from Supaplex, where there are not (I think) different forms of monsters based on di...

Otherwise, every viewer has to start by re-creating the levels themselves in the editor (which I'm sure is super easy to get wrong...) Or, well, alternatively, has anyone else gone through the reconstruction process and can upload these as usable level data?! :) (or maybe that software recently use...

Is there any way this bug could be turned into a feature? [...] These clones were clones of the C64 version of Boulderdash, but I remember some of them differed by having a) pumpkins instead of one of fireflies or butterflies (no change in behaviour); b) allowing true diagonal movement. both of the...

see attached.
to reproduce just go to any of the krissz engine cavesets with custom artwork enabled, and then go to the custom artwork screen and repeatedly toggle any of the settings that include "auto" as a state

it would seem the culprit is that the block in do_player that processes zigzag movement, including changing the diagonal movement to an orthogonal one, never executes if player_fire is true (bd_caveengine.c line 2016): if (game_bd.zigzag_movement && !cave->diagonal_movements && !play...

steps to replicate: - in the setup, enable Zigzag Diagonal Movement for BD engine - go to level 2 (Cave C) of Classic Games->Boulder Dash (Native Engine) - move down one pace and right one pace, to get in this position: zigzagdiag.png - hold the snap key while moving diagonally up and right you will...

Well, I see how people on this forum loved to make more and more puzzles. I think I have a choice: make some own puzzles when I'm not able to work on needed levelset or just forget it and play another Android game. I chose first, so. Here we go! Sorry that I didn't use standard game elements' icons...

7 years after I got an answer to my question in this post :) When I come to do what I need to, to get the level, I am still stumped. press the quote button (looks like two inverted commas) on the first post; then you will see that in the original markup there are a bunch of backticks followed by nu...

ncrecc, you make a lot of nice levels. Have you released any levelsets? if you're so impressed by an example level i made whose purpose is to show that rockford moves slightly later than in previous versions, and that can only be solved by an exact yet trivial input sequence, i'll take pleasure in ...

Isn't that part of graphics overrides though? I haven't tried these new things just yet so I'm not aware yet nope! hence the screenshot where the default RnD graphics are used (graphics override) for a Krissz_Boulder_Dash levelset; the graphics of the levelset have been overridden but the custom me...

it is a little uncanny that right now, custom menu text is the only per-levelset custom asset the user cannot override

(or possibly just ignored entirely, i haven't tested.) here is a funny little level showing off some quirky settings that BD allows, that starts with a butterfly exploding into a bunch of players... except in 4.4.1.0 the setting that makes it explodes into players is ignored, and the butterfly just ...

in the "GDash levels for RnD" package (or in any BD levelset while using the GDash artwork), edit any level, click "CONF", and go to the "engine" tab; the "use krissz engine" option will be visually cut off as shown in the attachment

attached is an intense level where Rockford must make his way to the exit before the firefly kills him. this level is solvable in 4.4.0.5 if you immediately start moving up, but in 4.4.1.0, rockford is delayed for one extra turn after the inbox opens, so the level is impossible.
