Re: Emerald Dash levelsets in the Emerald Mine Club collection not properly playable

for what it's worth this is also an issue on emeraldmines.net, which uses the same EM engine as RnD: http://emeraldmines.net/play/src/dev.html?disk=99/14

Re: "Score for slurping robot" spring setting is useless in RnD engine

to visually clarify: in the EMC engine, pushing this spring right will result in it running over/"slurping up" the robot (yielding the amount of points specified by "Score for slurping robot") and meeting the spring bouncer. in the RnD engine it will just stop at the robot. slurp...

"Score for slurping robot" spring setting is useless in RnD engine

the emc spring object has a parameter for "Score for slurping robot"; this refers to how in EMC if a spring encounters a robot on its path it will destroy it much like a yamyam destroys a diamond and continue moving. and indeed it works that way in the EM engine. but in the RnD engine spri...

Re: undo key

Neat! Although the question is are they going to be dependant on the "Snapshot mode" setting? I'm pretty sure they're only going to be available when it's ON. this is actually already a dilemma that exists with the "show undo/redo buttons": if that option is on but snapshot mode...

undo key

currently the undo/redo functionality for game engine snapshot mode is only available as a button in the user interface that you click (and only if you have "show undo/redo buttons" enabled). that's a little inconvenient as RnD the most part does not use the mouse cursor ingame. an optiona...

what does "override custom artwork: auto" mean?

"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...

Re: Some TOG's mobile puzzles

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...

Re: Some TOG's mobile puzzles

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...

Re: BD engine bug: Zigzag Diagonal Movement setting permits Crazy Dream-style diagonal snapping in any level

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...

Re: BD engine bug: Zigzag Diagonal Movement setting permits Crazy Dream-style diagonal snapping in any level

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...

Re: Some TOG's mobile puzzles

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...
