Re: R'n'D 2018.09.04 build review
I think I should just remove the possibility to disable auto-recording tapes altogether; it does not make much sense to disable it anyway. (If you don't care about tapes, you can just ignore them, I would say.) Or what do others think about this? You run on Android now, where storage is likely to b...

how do I know whether to replace the tape?
I am reminded of another slight annoyance: suppose I solve a level, so I have a slot in the high score table and a saved tape. Then I solve it again. The game asks me if I want to overwrite the tape. At that instant, it would be nice to have a couple of small stats about the two tapes: old tape: dur...

> 1 high score per user
Continuing from comments in another recent post; I hope Holger can graft those comments to the top of this post... Yes, it depends whether you have a "global" scores directory or not (by default you do not have one). This is a sub-directory "scores" in the folder "CSIDL_COMM...

Keyboard bug in 4.1.0.1
I am used to starting a level, then immediately putting it into single-step mode ('1' with my keyboard setup); basically I'd hit ' 1' (space, one) as quickly as possible. This no longer works; the '1' is not seen. So I tried some other things, like ' ->' (space, right-arrow), holding down right-arro...

I have a bug to report, which I'll start a separate post. I also blather on about the high scores issue; I guess I should also start a separate post on tha...

Re: R'n'D 2018.09.04 build review
Hmmm, 4.1.0.1 binary, but `git pull` finds nothing new... ?! Oh, you reminded me of an issue: I think the high scores ('hall of fame') used to show >1 score for the same user; now only 1. I think I actually triggered that in some discussion w/ Holger. But I don't think 'only 1' was the endpoint I wa...

Re: 4.1.0.0: Game hangs while checking level list within levelset with large # of levels
EMC-esque levelsets are traditionally 81 or 101 levels per levelset name, with serial levelset names like emc_rap_01 through emc_rap_12 or whatever. Putting 1000 levels in a single levelset is sure to challenge various clients (RnD being just one possible runner of EMC level data). Sure, it might be...

Cache the per-directory(levelset) findings into a file in ~/.rocksndiamonds/... ?

silly robot idea
After you die or exit the level, robots seem to head for the upper left corner; as if they're reading the player's coordinates as (0,0). I don't think this would affect any game mechanics, but would make after-game potentially more amusing: instead of heading for 0,0, could robots do a drunkard's wa...

Re: Expanded sidebar mockup
Holger's family name is 'Schemel' with only one 'l', you might want to edit the top post... In these mockups I can't help wondering what benefit most of the words provide: Certainly the word 'KEYS' is utterly irrelevant if each key is already present as a grey shadow. 'EMERALDS', 'DYNAMITE', and 'DY...

Re: R'n'D 64 - CE, GE and REF elements
I think that most recent animation looks awesome, and haven't looked at other bits.
Regarding the antennae: maybe they could be zapping and waving? :)

Re: R'n'D 64 - CE, GE and REF elements
(Same comment applies to your original post here & the other comment. The RnD forums are full of half-broken posts, as the forum lasts a lot longer than random fly-by-night repository sites. Make your posts self-sufficient.)

Those come up as broken image links here, and (the 1st) is 404 on sun9-1.userapi.com I think it's better to upload to artsoft.org (use the 'attachments' tab) -- then your post is internally complete and will last as long as the forum lasts, instead of one day being a sad broken thing with dangling l...
