Rocks'n'Diamonds

I vote for option 2, seems the best solution.

I think that if the element is not set to "can explode", it should leave no sort of content even if it gets blown up. I would have expected an empty tile instead of that normal wall...

The Tetris thing interests me very much. I'd like to see how you have solved the tons of problems related to such a game... isn't that you could give us some kind of preview? I mean, a playable preview, not a screenshot

You're welcome, Jannik. The hover and slide effects could be achieved with javascript, I have to dig it a bit. Unfortunately some things are not supported by the poor CSS engine of IE7, just like the highlight in the elements table. The index is at the bottom side for no particular reason. I think I...

Maybe you would check out the rock-traps you have designed in the other levels. Using the BD-rock they result quite easier than if they were made by EM-rocks.

Don't worry, all the players, sooner or later, get blocked in silly traps. Well, the NB tutorial is quite a though one, and it is already good that you didn't get stuck at level 12.

Hi Wistiti, welcome to the forum. Maybe you are stuck in the top-right part of the screen, where the emeralds and the bombs are. Well, maybe you should leave activated the blue belt, so that the rocks will be dropped on the bombs, when you'll set them free digging the sand. If you are stuck in anoth...

I've made some change to the online version : - Used a lighter blue as background color for the manual page ("Colorful" style) - Changed all the borders from "dotted" to "double" (both the "Colorful" and the "GrayScale" styles) - Narrowed down the te...

Nice levels! Well done, some of them are quite tricky - for example, I completely skipped the Fireflies Nest, but I have really enjoyed the level with the Satellites. Unfortunately I have tried only the first 8 levels, but I'll check out more later. By the way, on level 8, the exit can be easily rea...

Send it to Holger and he will include it in Contributions 2006
It will probably be released during summer 2007 or something.

Cool, then, I still have plenty of time to refine Magic-CEs, Rockfighter and so on

Another very nice idea, Sasha's one... Ok, let's imagine that Holger already added an element representing the explosion, and that it has been implemented as a standard element. We can use its graphics, and we can refer to it in CE programming... but what if it becomes a CE by itself? It would mean ...

Of course, such an element should behave like a real explosion. I mean that it should allow making a "custom dynamite" (just like Zomis' example) that "pulls out" the gems from the walls, just like a normal dynamite, and not like the workaround of my example, which destroys those...

If you set a CE for the custom player explosion and then you move that CE with the exchange elements tool, the reference tile in the player's settings is not updated.

I didn't try that on the other settings (like "use artwork from element").

Mmm, quite large as "couple of hours", anyway... Here is the example levelset - it is quite playable, even being a demo... http://www.zomis.net/rnd/download.php?id=616 Solution tapes included, of course. The idea "change when touching explosion" is shown in the second level, &quo...

"Change when touching explosion" could be very useful, IMHO. Also adding an element that represents "the explosion" could be quite handy. Nothing more to add, it can be achieved with a couple of CEs, but it messes up some other things... I'll drop a level as example, in a couple ...
