For my contest entry, I decided to do a loose port of the flash game Cube Droid Saves the Galaxy, which can be found here.
So far, I'm only in planning stages, but I do have a mock-up of a level to show that it's possible.


(For the record, that's level 5-2).

As for other noteworthy details, I'll try to include as many of the original levels as I can despite my smaller screen size in the Y direction (the original is 12*12 but mine is 10*15).  I am planning level packs, and if I don't have all of the levels in the game I can assure you that the levels will be in a level pack.
I plan to include the cut-scenes if I have enough memory.

So, yeah, that's what my plan is.  I hope I can complete it in time, because for the first half of the contest I'm still in school. Undecided

Cube Droid's an awesome game. That's an awesome mock-up. Good luck! Are you planning to add those subtle animations?

Yes.  I've already done the sprites for them too. Wink

Can't wait. Not many calc games have those little animations, but they make a big difference ^^

I received a reply back from the developer of the original game, and I have his permission to port it to the calc.  He also said that if he has time, he'll try to figure out what his algorithms for enemy movement were, as I need to know those to make as faithful a port to the original as possible.

Spoiler for Still Alive:
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great:
It's so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

Still alive

This is nice Ztrumpet. I remember someone posted this before or was making a calc port, and I'm glad you're planning to finish one. The game isn't too hard either, so it should be enjoyable for most people

I've made substantial progress today:  I can load levels and display them.  Though this may not sound like a lot, I've also laid the framework for the rest of the main engine.  It's progressing well.

Thanks, tloz.  I am as well. Wink

Omnimaga and I made the developer's website: http://www.bitsofbas.com/blog/post/24/a-couple-of-cube-droid-goodies  I figured it was cool enough to share, though it doesn't really count as progress of my own. Grin
