Yes, you can have both in the same matrix. But for x-Lib to display it, you will need to flip the matrix.
dim([A]
Ans(1->A
For(I,1,A/2
rowSwap([A],I,A+1-I->[A]
End
This code will switch the contents of matrix [A]. If you wanted to create a kewl effect when doing the switch, you could redisplay the screen after each rowSwap.

This project seems promising... And challenging, of course. |

is that the built in timer The TI-83+/TI-83+SE models don't have clocks, so they don't have clock functions; if you are using these functions, then your game becomes incompatible with those models.

Other than that, count the number of steps, maybe? I wasn't too concerned about the timer in the original, anyway.
Oh, I hope you'll take this opportunity as the game's designer to come up with some new stages! They were too few in the flash version.

If in the final routines the frame rate is fairly constant (like it doesn't take 3x longer when you press a button than when there is no input/action) you could use the number of frames that pass as a general measure of time (it wouldn't be exact or in seconds, but it might do). |

Timer is a detail. I'd add it in the very last moment. |

ok gravity switches and doors have to be activated or opened by a keypress in the rough engine becuse of speed issues
waiti just thoaught of something rightnow i have the coordinates have to be devided by 8 first to find their tilemap coordinate instead i could have them already devided by 8 and the multiply them by 8 to find the screen coordinates
wich would decrease the amount of calculation required
ack RAM Clear thatl set me back a few days

Whadayaknow, I decided (Independently) to create Shift for The new Omnimaga contest! I too will be using xLib, and I already have the platform engine well underway. The first thing i did was work on the shift effect, and I think I have made a very nice one, I'll see if I can post a screenshot... |

Nope the Omnimaga contest has slightly different rules you can announce it but you can't have projects that have been previously announced. |
