Hi!

welcome to the forum!

Hmmm...
I see your problem, let me Help!

What you do is open rocks 'n' diamonds, go to setup, go to input devices and it should say the thing to do with moving about. (left arrow right arrow etc etc...)
Then you go to customize.
Then you enter what you want! (by the way the one that you're choosing to customize is the one highlighted in red and green. :D

I dont have a 'Setup' item in game menu. There are only 'Levels', 'Tape', 'Tools' and 'Exit'... I guess it's different, because it is a pocket pc version. All I know, that this is RoNDi port of Rocks N Diamonds created by DiPal. The original game was created under GPL, so RonDi should be also under this license (am I right?). Does anybody know where can I get the source code of RoNDi? Or maybe somebody can give me DiPal's emal, so I could ask him personally? My email is vitvlkv@gmail.com.
Thanks!

There should be an option under "Tools" to use the touch screen so you can tap where you want the player to go. I don't know what the option is called, though...
The H. World levelset can be downloaded from http://www.bd-fans.com/RnD.html -- search The H. World on that page.

I have under 'Tools':
- Cheating on/off
- Sound on/off
- FPS 1/DEFAULT
- Show Input
- Show MDL_Other

I've tried all off them, but my RoNDi didnt responce on stilus taps :(

Are you sure RoNDi supports stilus control?

I don't even have a 'tools' menu. Is my version outdated?
'Touch Screen' is the third option on my 'settings' menu, which consists mostly of debug stuff.

I just found out why... Mine is the PalmOS version while yours must be the PocketPC version (I see a 'tools' button in the screenshot.)

On my Z22, I can't snap or drop stuff, either... again, control problems...

Yes, RoNDi does not have the same menu screens as the PC/Mac version. Unfortunately, I have never checked out the PocketPC version so far, but only the PalmOS version (which works remarkably well)!
