If you make the portals snap to the 5x5 grid wouldn't that sometimes end up with some weird situations.  Like standing above a floor and shooting down, and even though there is plenty of open space the portal still jumps to the left or to the right of your player?

Really though, this game looks coooool.

That's true, I'll have to think about that. I may make it so that it guides the player into the portal when in the air (like the real portal) to make it easier. But when you're on the ground it would have to be different... I'm not sure yet.

Update: portals now work in four directions. I took Builderboy's advice decided not to have them snap to the 5x5 grid after all. Instead: portal bumping!  :w00t:  If the player tries to make a portal where it would hang off of a wall or be on top of another portal, it shifts the new portal automatically.

I'm also going to optimize my horribly redundant code and hopefully have a source release soon.

Nice progress!  You said the bumping handles when the portal would hang off a wall, or when it would be inside another portal.  Does it also account for when a placed portal would be inside a wall?  From the screenshot it would seem so, but it is hard to tell haha.  What method did you end up using for the portal bumping?

Yup, that's included too! I made it so that once the wall, it moves side to side (by greater increments) until either my really long if statement is satisfied (checks if wall is behind portal, not in front of portal, and portal isn't hanging over) or until its repeated a certain amount of times (to prevent an endless loop).

Are you still planning corrective portal gravity? If not I would suggest larger portals to allow for better maneuvering and conserving speed to allow for more challenging levels.

I really like the idea of the smaller portals because they allow for different levels but they require extra work.

Good luck!

It is dead, I exchanged emails with him. Sad because it looked good. If someone wanted to continue it he might give you the existing source code.

I dont have any projects and i would not mind a new project, but i bet i would just rewrite everything from scratch after looking at the code for 5 minutes :P
