Ok. I checked all maps and corrected some errors. (Stupid me). 1.4 can be downloaded as usual at http://kvince83.tengun.net/private/Slippy.zip .

@Jim: I named the (hopefully) last release after you

hmmmmm....level 16 looks fishy. There doesn't seem to be enuf ice blocks to get to all the coin groups. Im surprised a ti game has held my attention, even biggest budget GBA game has failed at that. kudos

i'll check it out, though I'm almost sure that it is finishable, since I checked ALL maps with the last release

glad you like it

I did not knew that game was revived O.o

I remember the project died back when I visited greenfire, glad it was finished, I will try it as soon as I can!

Yeah. I think i picked this up when you left us. Hmmm... it got featured on ticalc.org though, but maybe you missed that too

DJ_O · Post by **DJ_O** » Sun 22 Jul, 2007 11:59 pm

Well, since the last time I left MC I also left pretty much all other TI forums but Omni, TIFW and HRP, and I rarely checked ticalc.org/calcgames. I think I've checked a few times when I finished Metroid II but that was about it. I lost internet access last february until july though so if it got featured in this period chances are big that i did not noticed -.-

Regardless, congrats on the feature

Now I get why I was never able to beat that level

.

I'll have to download that again and play through it now that I might finally be able to beat 16

First, kv83, this is a great game! I saw the update in the news screen downloaded it and started playing!
And second

Hmmmm but...

I don't want to ruin the party but something odd happened:

The best way to explain bugs is via images I think:

This is level 5 and I just pushed that block down and for some strange reason it was stuck in the 'wall', no problem tough (I thought) just restart...

And suddenly all the levels end up like this...
Note that those horizontal bars don't seem to appear right of a non 'empty' tile, it also seems to invert the 'light' layer at those pixels (that's why I drawed Slippy twice, (look closely you'll see that those pixels ain't correct))
Also the non affected tiles stay non affected and everything is drawn normally (no distorted gfx there)

Again sorry for ruining the party!

EDIT: I'll try reproducing the bug

driesguldolf · Post by **driesguldolf** » Wed 08 Aug, 2007 3:37 pm

Ah yes, just as I tought

Yay found another bug:
download the game to your calc and pull the cable while you are playing, the game will hang but the grayscale will stay. Now that bug sounds familiar! Hey Jim e, there's work for ya!

I assume that for the grayscale you use a costum interrupt (IM 2), you are probabely using Jim e's GPP package, I think the bug is a stack overflow caused by outputting the wrong bytes when the interrupt finishes. Jim e once showed me how to handle an isr and I encountered the exact same bug when pulling the cable (the bug is also on wikiti).

Any news?
