I have been working on this project for a little while now (although I have made very little progress because of Block Dude/Trapped), but after I finish Trapped, this will be the next project I will be working "full time" on.  Right now, I have a small amount of the game engine working, and the drawing routine is working (except for the fact I have not drawn the sprites yet, so no screenshots yet Tongue).  I am getting pretty good at 2-D games like this, as they all follow the same basic game engine as Block Dude, except more/different cases have to be added to the engine.

I still have lots to do, but I thought I would announce this project now just to let everyone know.  It is going to be a while before this is finished (probably not until around next summer, maybe longer Sad).  Hopefully, if I have some time and I don't feel like working on Trapped, I will start on a few of the sprites and post a screenshot here! Grin  I have been making good progress on Trapped, so that might be done sooner than expected, giving me time to work on this! Smiley

Wow nice to see Chips coming to the Nspire already Smiley

I hope you can easily convert the levels to integrate them in your game. Calc84maniac converted them, which speed-ed up the development. I hope you finish it Smiley

I don't see level conversion being too much of a problem as I plan on making all of the levels external from the main program, because including all of the levels would make the program HUGE!

If it comes to the point where I have to type all of the levels in from full pics of the levels and it is holding up the release, I can release it with the first 50 levels or so, and then add the others in level packs released later. Smiley

Also, custom external level support is planned. Smiley

Awesome, apcalc!  I certainly hope people will be n-spired by you and start to make nspire games of their own!

Excellent!  I'm sure Calc84 would give you help if you need it, but I doubt if you will judging from your other games.  Good luck apcalc! Grin

Cool!
It would be nice if the game used the original chips.dat file that contains the levels in the PC version of the game.

Ooooh! That was one of my favorite games ever. I saw it on the PC first, then found it on the calc a few years ago. If it looks as good as nspire block dude, I'm sure it will be awesome Smiley

How big would all levels be? Because Calc84maniac managed to fit all 150 (plus the entire game) in about 160-170 KB

There's actually an open-source engine coded in C, if you want to try porting that. It might help if you want a lot of accuracy to the original game. I think it's called Tile World Smiley

Never heard of that one, but I don't play puzzle games a lot on the computer (except Portal). Mostly on calc, so it might be why.

epicness! With the Nspire's speed, perhaps some cool little graphical effects could be worked in?
