Rocks'n'Diamonds

OK, tape tests are just successfully finished.

This little new feature will then be available in 3.1.1.

(This could indeed work for creating "Dig Dug ghosts"...! :-) )

Sorry, but I think it is currently not possible to completely emulate the conveyor belts by using CEs...

There won't be a new engine for each and every new game idea. ;-)

Some games can be converted using CEs, others cannot.

(BTW: I've moved that topic from the "Puzzles" section to this section.)

Ah, now I understand... :-)

Hmm, but how could a CE _turn_ diagonal if it cannot _move_ diagonal?

Nevertheless, I'm indeed still thinking about this. (I have a laptop with 1680x1050 screen resolution and I can see the proble...

Hmm, what do you mean by "user defined section"?

As you might have noticed, the R'n'D forum is more and more target to spammers, mainly from Russia. Nearly every day I have to delete one or two new "users" with zero posts, but with a SPAM URL as their "homepage". Just a few minutes ago, I deleted another user without a SPAM &qu...

This is definitely a bug! :-o Thanks for reporting it -- I'll have a look at it. Should (hopefully) be easy to fix. *edit* When looking at this again now: I simply overlooked the fact that this isn't a "CE change" at all. So it's not really a bug. But you might be right that one could prob...
