Rocks'n'Diamonds

how do I snap a falling diamond in this new EMC engine? it has never been possible to shoot a diamond or emerald while they are falling in emerald mine. perhaps you could in boulderdash or other clones, but not in real emerald mine. I want to snap the diamonds out of the rocks as they go by the dia...

> is there supposed to > be compatibility? Not at the beginning, and not anymore. then why do you add emerald mine objects, which are not implemented properly, in your program? I hope I will be able to replace the current native EM/EMC engine with the updated, even more accurate (?) one from you on...

>it doesnt happen with a line of aliens instead of eaters. I already made a post about a very similar "bug". the aliens are acting like in emerald mine. in emerald mine you are protected when you walk through things like dirt, collect emeralds keys etc. even if a rock falls on you while y...

it doesnt happen with a line of aliens instead of eaters. and it never happens in emerald mine.

i fixed it [my engine] ages ago but it hasnt been integrated into rnd. as for the rnd engine, is it trying to be compatible with emerald mine too?

are not lucky they move into you in the moment you pass them.

they dont move at all, but you still die sometimes.

And yes, its possible that you can go to the other side just like BD4 that I used
to play nearly 2 and a half years ago... 8)

going to the other side requires my new EMC engine (and it makes lots of caves possible)

When the boulder drops onto a diamond that is sitting on the player's head, it doesn't break and just rolls left or right. Is this a bug or a faulty trick existing in the native engine? it's not a bug. a diamond wont be squashed by a stone if the diamond is sitting on top of the player, a bug, or a...

i had a closer look at the code you have copied and changed from my old emc code into rocks'n'diamonds and i am a bit disappointed. the changes you made appear to be incomplete. you removed a sound effect when going in the exit with the comment in the code saying the exit sound is played twice. the ...

About your main point here: Yes, I have changed the input device code from your approach to R'n'D's input device code, and indeed this is a little change away from original Emerald Mine behaviour. Interestingly, I did that change to improve playability, especially with a joystick! Some explanation:...

Hi, I've been an Emerald Mines enthusiast ever since the game was released on the Amiga and have played through lots of the level sets. I am a Squidoo lensmaster and as such I have wrote an article on Emerald Mines: The Best Amiga Game Ever . I have also put a review of Rocks 'n' Diamonds in it tog...
