Title: nGravnix for NSpire
Post by: ajorians on March 30, 2014, 04:26:15 pm

Hey Guys,

I've been working on a game called nGravnix!  It is a puzzle game where you choose a direction and all blocks slide in that direction.  When two or more blocks on the same color are adjacent they disappear.  You have a limit number of direction shifts.

It is coming along; I still got some display fixes I plan on doing.  It comes with 50 levels and supports external levels files.

I do have a level editor but I didn't include it yet because I plan on polishing it up some more first.  There is some features not yet implemented in the level editor but will be.

Give the game a try and let me know what you think about it.  Here is a video: http://youtu.be/AwDFfAKT_Nk

Have a great day!

ooh I like the idea! :D Also the special blocks, especially the sticky blocks are a nice touch, since it will provide more challenge. One other idea would be to add a block that repels blocks that are pushed towards it (in other words, no other block other than maybe the special ones can stand next to it unless they are just passing by), but I wonder if it would be hard to implement?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the nice replies!

I've been meaning to finish up this game and so I think it should now be all set!

I fixed some bugs and even wrote some unit tests.  Unit tests doesn't mean it is bug free  :) but at least it means that if I do find a bug I can fix it with some assurance that I didn't break anything.

I included and finished the level editor.  It even allows you to test the level you are making.

I'll be starting another game shortly.

p.s. The maximum attachment size of 1024KB is really close to my attachment's size.

I really need to try this as soon as possible. This looks fun to play. Glad it's updated again :D

Ticalc.org or Calcgames.org used to have a policy that disallowed authors to put screenshots inside the zip file, especially if the screenshots were already visible on the page. Otherwise sometimes you would download a 1 KB number guessing game located inside a 2 MB zip file because the author included a 2 MB-large animated screenshot inside the zip. :P
