Another version, this time with nSDL font support. :)

Set the font from rc.tns. By default it is NSDL_FONT_TINYTYPE.
The data files you need to send (in the dir of tworld.tns) are in datafiles.zip. atiles.bmp.tns is screwed up, it will fallback to tiles.bmp.tns. I'll fix it later.
And no compiler warnings anymore :)

ajorians: Do you know why some of the magenta remains in some tiles when displayed (in my version)? I'll look at your code and see if I can fix it.

EDIT: I think it's a problem with the bitmap. And I released a new version, which fixed a memory leak, added keyboard shortcuts, and edited the help.

EDIT 2: Updated the tiles.bmp.tns file, as ajorians described below.

EDIT 3: Added .tns extension to save files (so you can see them in the document browser and remove them easily).

Hi Legimet,

I finally got a chance to try out your TileWorld!  Nice!

I used a the Gimp to edit the images.  I think I did see magenta when I didn't have interpolation set to None.  Which I think makes sense because an interpolation is great for photos and the like but with sprites I didn't want it to blend a magenta pixel with another pixel.  Hope that helps!

Keep working on this I am liking how it looks!

Have a great day!

Thanks, I figured it was something to do with the pixel averaging, but I didn't know how to fix this in GIMP. I updated the tiles.bmp.tns file above.

I made atiles.bmp.tns! This means that you can use animated tiles:

Eyup that looks pretty good. Too bad I don't have my Nspire to test right now. D:

Yay!  Looks really good!  When I get a chance; I'll download all of the levelsets from here: http://www.pillowpc2001.net/levels/name.htm

That page states: "There are currently 550 level sets on the list, containing about 23708 levels"

I'm excited to play this! :)  Good work!

Also have a great day!

Hi Sorunome,

I got introduced to Chips Challenge in MS's Best of Windows Entertainment Package which has 149 levels.  But you can swap out the CHIPS.DAT file and it'll play those levels instead.  Tile World allow you to choose the level set and now there are many, many user created level sets!

Hope that helps answer your question.  Here is a wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip%27s_Challenge

Have a great day!

You can put level sets (which, by convention, have an extension of .dat(.tns)) into the sets directory and they should show up. Alternatively, you can put them into the data directory and use configuration files (usually .dac(.tns)) in the sets directory. If you have chips.dat.tns, CCLP2.dat.tns, or CCLP3.dat.tns, you can put them directly into data, since there are already .dac files for those.
ajorians, thanks for the page with level sets, and for letting me use your code! :)

EDIT: ajorians' version at the beginning of this thread has CCLP2.dat included, so if you installed it, you already have CCLP2.dat.tns.
EDIT 2: My zip in the next post now has CCLP2 and CCLP3 included. :)

The new zip has CCLP2 and CCLP3 included, and changes unslist.txt.tns to add .tns extensions to the file names. CCLP3 supports both the Lynx and MS rulesets. Also, the squares with the keys and boots that you pick up on the right now fits on the screen. And now all the tns files are in files.zip and the source code is in tworld.zip. You do not need to send the CCLP2 and CCLP3 directories to your calculator. These are only included because both of these level sets say that you can distribute them only if you keep all the files intact.

EDIT: Minor update. Shouldn't change any functionality, but changes help text to say that you can exit Tile World by pressing Esc.

OK, I fixed some display issues and listing of the solution files when pressing Ctrl-S.

A few days ago, I was playing for a long time, and it said out of memory. Then I quit and started it again and it said out of memory right when I started it.
The main memory leak was in mslogic.c, where it wasn't freeing the creatures properly. There was also one in fileopen if a file didn't open.
So, today, I fixed the memory leaks! :)

EDIT: Fixed a small issue.
