Thanks for showing intrest in this project, you know who you are.
Things added since last update:
-Just a few optimizations of code here and there.
Things to be added:
-A lot more levels.
-Ports of the orignal levels.
-Maybe some AI here and there.
-Make the levels in chapters, where 1-25 are in level set 1 and 26-50 are in two etc.
I hope to have at least the first 25 levels ported with the first release.
Here is a old screeny:

Well I don't have the screen scrolling because it would be too slow, it just does when you need to see the rest of the parts of the level.
@kevin: Thanks and it's always good to hear comments like this.

Since I have finished my secret project as of Sunday, I have been programming this game and as well a few other secret projects :P
.Things added since last update:
-Lots of optimizations, around 450b saved.
-Went from 9 programs to 7 programs (I will have them down to at least 5 before release, it's just easier to add subprograms right now instead of merging them.
-Completed the level editor and plan on releasing it to the public only with the release of the first version (sorry for those who want to make levels for the game, but I will not let people do some until I have at least 25 levels ported).
-Corrected the moving on the ice bug.
-Increased the engines speed by changing it up a little.
-Only one level was added since last update, due to having some other obligations.
Things to be added:
-Work on the readme.
-A lot more levels.
-Ports of the original levels.
-Maybe some AI here and there.
-Make the levels in chapters, where 1-25 are in level set 1 and 26-50 are in two etc.
-More functions will have to be added, such as when you walk onto a button that will move stuff out of your way (tanks).
-One more function needs to be added where you move a block and it has fire underneath it, which I have the plans for.
-Fix the code for moving blocks where you can't merge blocks together.
Soon I will have a list of levels which have been ported from the original. One thing I would like to point out is that I have made changes to some or the ported levels. The reasons behind this is so I can save more space, ie I had a level where you used 4 8x12 maps linked and only 3 of the maps were used. Check out my http://www.kalan.us/currentprojects.htm for more project updates.

nice work kalan_vod I am really amazed by your games so far :)
EDIT: whats up with your sig O_O

@dragon_lance: If you read the news item of me being accepted I mention about a special surprise that night (down towards the bottom on monday I believe) and is going to be released on Sunday-Monday (it's finished). Thanks for the showing of intrest guys it really helps when people care about a project you put time in.

Not too big of an update, yet it is.
Things added since last update:
-A few optimizations, around 350b saved.
-Just 4 levels were added, which came ported from the original.
-A routine where you have blocks which look the same, but when you walk into it they will either turn solid or empty.
-A routine where you have a circle, that when you step onto it turns into a solid block that will not let you pass through (when you walk onto it they turn into a solid block and you have the option of moving back or keep going as you are still on top of the spot the block occupies).
-Add a HUD then figured it was too slow, so I got rid of it. But yet again I thought a HUD would become useful so I added a HUD which was faster and more information can be found in it (the 1st one only showed the chips left and the level you were on and it only showed if you had 9 chips, but if you had 10 or more it just showed a + and the same for levels). Now with the new HUD you get the level you are on (will show up to 2 digit numbers 1-99) and chips being the same way. And not to mention how it show which keys you have :P
).-Ok I added a new function that allows you to see the tiles next to you (up to two tiles). What I mean is that if you can't see what's in the next screen you press second and then the arrows in the direction you would like to see (kind of like in block dude). After I added that I had a bug where you could get an out of bounds error by going too far, but now I fixed it!
-I added where you would just press +/- to change levels at will, but thought/was told it would become to easy that way. So I added a menu which lets you set the HUD on/off, continue playing, quit, and now enter a code to a level which is higher than the one your on (you are on level 1 and want to be on level 12 so you type "12" and then it prompts for a pass which will be a 2 digit code (for now it is, but I plan on making it more advanced) and then it take you to the level you entered, if the code was correct! And if you wish to go back to a level which is < the level you are on it will just let you).
Things to be added:
-Work on the readme.
-A lot more levels.
-Ports of the original levels.
-Maybe some AI here and there.
-Make the levels in chapters, where 1-25 are in level set 1 and 26-50 are in two etc.
-More functions will have to be added, such as when you walk onto a button that will move stuff out of your way (tanks).
-Fix the code for moving blocks where you can't merge blocks together.
I have a dilemma where it is becoming incredibly slow (the game), because I have just a few subprograms packed into on. So I think I am going to have more subprograms (split the ones into there separate ones). Check out my http://www.kalan.us/currentprojects.htm for more project updates. I might have a ss of this later this week.

nice work, I hope you can get it to run fast again, how much FPS it is approximately now?

| Well with the walking around it does go fast. Well I keep it with the smallest amount of programs as possible, but when I added a few routines here and there it made the subprograms longer which unless I do some Ifs x=x:return it just runs through the whole subprogram. But I have a fix for it, I was looking over the code and found some things I could inprove on. |
did you know that if you "block' a subroutine inside of a If:then:End it will usualy be faster?

I locked the whole Chips forum :D
