GemGem (boulderdash)

Game is based on GemJam by http://www.flyordie.com/

I also used the graphics from their game.... but dont tell them. I'll replce the gfx ASAP.

This little demo is just to test the boulder\gem physics cus it took over 1 week to get it sorted. Thankyou rockford.

Main features are smooth perpixel boulder\gem movment.

Player cannot die and nowt happens when you collect all the gems.

Controls are cursor keys and ESC.

Quite fun. All seems to be working fine.

Yep, all seems fine here, runs smoothly, boulders fall as they should.

wOOt it past the Perturbatio test.. now I am sure its bug free. Yipee.

I only ran it once, give me a few more goes on it :)

ok, found a repeatable error. :)

One of the boulders does not fall if you take the gem away from under it in a certain way. Once this happens, you can no longer walk under the boulder (the areas I've highlighted in red indicate the no go area).

See a screenshot of the problem here

ok, here are the moves to reproduce the error:

R5 D2 L2 R1 D2 L3 D2 R1 D1 L1 D1 U1 R2 D2 R1 U1 D1 R2 L1 U1 R3 D1 R1 U1 R1 U1 R1 L1 <pause> U1 R1 (quickly) <pause> L1


MWahahahahaha! You cannot escape the Perturbatio Bug Detector(tm)!

*EDIT*
On further testing, this only seems to happen if you move right (just before (quickly)) just as the gem is dropping.

Another very minor thing, if you hold down and a direction key whilst over a static block, you walk in the appropriate direction, if you do it over a rock, you do not move.

Damn it... sounds easy to fix though, sounds like the Array is not reseting to 0 as it should.

1 day I will write some thing that is bug free and on that day you will all be doomed.. doomed I tells ya... Wahahahah! WHAHAHAHAHAH!.

I sense... a disturbance in the source... as though a million bugs cried out in pain...then silence.

Well??? did you fix it?

Yup is fixed, had no chance to work some more on it cus I just took an evening job, stright from college to work mon-friday, im out the house from 8am-10pm monday to friday... so my blitzing is gona be reduced. But I need the $$$ for chrimbo.
