Why does he kicks you out of school early? Is it just a measure to prevent anyone from staying there to use the computers?

Anyway glad to see an update. I'll try this one now :)

EDIT: Ok I tried and it was great but I think it is way too hard, to the point of being unsolvable at times. I had to slow down the emulator to 25% speed to get to the level seen in the screenshot below and in that screenshot I was forced to slow the emulator down to 1% (the screenshot shows it back at 100)

I also tried and also express frustration with the engine.  Maybe it was wabbit speeding up the game too much, but i got the feeling that the character jumped way too fast to be able to place any portals anywhere.  I also got the feeling that whenever i pressed alpha and spawned from the portal that i lost a significant amount of momentum.

Unfortunately I feel the same way too.
It's a really nice game though. :)

It's hard, but I was able to beat it...
It can certainly be easier though.
Great game, can't wait to see more  :)

Wabbit is speeding MFQT up 2-3 times. Go play it on-calc and get back to me. (This applies to everyone else.) If it's still waaaay too fast, I'll take out the 15-MHz switch and it should fix everything.
Also, in the level shown, you have to use the bouncies twice. Just in case you didn't know. :)

Ah that might be why X.x. I'll have to try on a real calc I guess..

EDIT: Btw in your code why do you use Normal right before Full? ???

Code: [Select]
Normal
Full

Legacy of bluescale, which doesn't work in 15MHz mode. Will delete, thanks for pointing it out!

You can dynamically change the speed of your calc? That's cool. B)

I tried the Flash game in newgrounds:
9 out of 10, congratz!

For now, can't test the calulator version, but hope that will try it out soon

4 bytes for each square.
1st byte=starting location
2nd byte=ending location
3rd byte=current location
4th byte=direction
make a "temp" appvar or use L1
have the 3rd byte same as the 1st byte.

LOOP
change the 3rd byte x number of pixels in the direction specified by the 4th byte.
when byte 3=byte 2, change the 4th byte so it reverses in direction
again, change the 3rd byte x number of pixels in the direction specified by the 4th byte.
when byte 3=byte 1, change 4th byte
/LOOP

hope this helps :)

another way you could do it:

3 bytes
1 byte = starting location
1 byte = current location
7 bits = distance of the gap being traversed
1 bit = direction
