ZZT: #endgame. A 'contest' lasting the entire summer.

[Cheesecake Avenger]

damn that sucks. same thing happend to all my games exept it was a desktop computer

[Ando]

But your game was the one I was looking forward to :(

The one where you wake up with hangover and in bed with another man and you have to prove to the world that you're not gay.

Is this based on a real life experience? :)

[Zenith Nadir]

maybe one of yours

[Ando]

So uh who is going to be finishing an entry?

I know that I will (although it's just going to be a demo).

[Quantum P.]

I hope to; maybe I'll post a screenshot tonight.

[Commodore]

i have limited computer access now, my entry is about 70% done, although if the worst happens it could be considered done anytime.

also oregon is cool.

[Ryan Ferneau]

I will wait until August 31 so it will be a twenty-four-hozzed!

[KKairos]

I'm going to upload my game to Z2. Maybe even tonight. I'd wait for my number but I'm at the point where I'm convinced that it's not coming.

I'll upload it in about a half an hour.

Now it should be uploaded.

[Zephyr]

Should I be able to beat the game by simply going into the passage on the landing site?

[shotintoeternity]

KKairos, awesome engine, but all of the passages in the ending board lead you to the ending. I think you should fix that bug and reupload-- if you want, I can send you a copy of how it should work-- I'm just not sure which passage should lead to which cave.

KKairos, now you must make a sidescroller DGN game.

ACK. I just tested this, and it was possible. I'll be uploading a fix shortly. How I missed that is beyond me. Just, ACK. Man.

I am assuming that you mean the board with all the blue passages. I'm confused because you're talking about caves...Which are in plenty of parts in the game, but not in any of the endings. Okay, here's the thing, is that all of those endings (on their first board) use the exact same illustration. Only the third should be going to any other board before you get to the random note or whatnot. I just tested it and it seems to be working fine for me.

Um, maybe. MAYBE. Gigantic MAYBE.

Lastly thanks to y'all for actually playing this thing and telling me about stuff that seems out of place. I'll be reuploading in about half an hour.

Uploaded. The able-to-beat-game-on-board-one bug is gone. I also tested teh ending stuff. I also took the opportunity to change up the ending-chooser, so it's a bit more fancy and stuff. And I added a counter for the range of hearts found to each ending board. So there shouldn't be any doubt about which ending board the player is going to, now.

SLATFATL -> ZZT Edit -> D-CELL



Well somewhat. Mine was going to have multiboard width levels, but it takes up a fuckton of memory. So like everything in D-Cell I never finished it.

[KKairos]

Holy crap, Dos. That looks pretty cool, but you're right--random-generation stuff DOES take up a crapload of memory. Were you going to do scrolling sort of like Run-On, or different?

As I recall Run-On had a sidescrolling area, in the platformer sense. Technically the game DID scroll to the side.

[Ando]

Man I should probably get cracking on this 8(
