Playable demo time !

I won't post any screenshots 'cos I won't resolved the levels for you ^^ (even they are really simple)

You can download it here : http://mattias.refeyton.fr/espace-ti/gravityWalls/GRAVWALL.8xp

I nearly finished the level editor, so you'll see it soon

Awww, no screenshots? That's saddening. But great job on the playable demo! I look forward to giving it a try soon.

That looks like tons of fun! Thanks for giving us some great gameplay screenies. By the way, are you aware that with Doors CS's HomeRun feature, you don't need to type the Asm( token on the homescreen?

I know it, but like I said in the readme, I have to be sure that the program is in RAM, so I use Asm() 'cos the command throw an error if the program is archived

Nice! I also see that the appvar is 1936 bytes, what are you storing in there?/are you using any compression techniques?

@parserp a level pack contains 1920 bytes (plus VAT datas) which are five levels of 384 bytes (even if only one level has been created), but I don't use any compression.

@KermMartian : I think you misunderstood : GRAVWALL and GWTILMAP must be ran from RAM. That's why I use Asm(), because if the user tries to run them from ARC, it won't work. But if DoorsCS is used, the programs will run even if they are in archive, and it's a bad thing.

Ah ok. I was under the impression that the 1920 bytes was the data for just 1 level.

That's not it ; programs don't access to appvars (for read or write) the same way if they are in ARC, and my code only works if the programs are in RAM (I tested it).

Ah, maybe yeah.

Well, I'm currently working on the level loader : it'll search through VAT for level packs (which will have a header) instead of you typing the name with "input" command. It's a good thing because "input" is bugged with Axe =/

I noticed you released this on ticalc.org as well, which is excellent. Don't forget to put it in the Cemetech archives ASAP! And please ask us if you have any questions about getting your program to browse the VAT, as we have plenty of accomplished ASM coders around.
