apcalc, I'm thinking of using Block Dude as a screenshot or video tutorial for the upcoming GDB support of of Ncubate. Wouldn't you mind?

Not at all!  Feel free to use whatever you need. :)

Ok, to run that program we obviously need NdLess??

Btw, you have some unneeded blocks in your maps (saw them on GIF images). Delete them for faster game :)

What blocks are unneeded?  I copied the levels directly from the original Block Dude/Trapped games, so I want to keep them as original as possible.  Also, speed is not a major concern with this seeing that I already have to slow it down a ton (and if I needed more speed, I could set the Nspire to run at 150 Mhz).

Also, yes Ndless is needed to run this program.

Some corner blocks not needed. If speed is not a problem, then it's OK :)

Question: Is it possible to set the Nspire to something lower than 90 MHz? If so, then I wonder if the artificial slow down could be lowered and the calc be set to low CPU speed to save on battery power?

I believe this is possible.  It's a great idea! ;D

I had access to a digital camera today, so I though I'd take a pic of Trapped on hardware (no Nspire pic, as I temporarily have OS 2.0 on it for school)

That seems to look pretty nice! Great job so far and I'm glad it runs on hardware so far. :)

Update!

Versions for Ndless 1.1, Ndless 1.7, and 68k are in the beta releases thread!

Added:
Levels 1-4 Now Implemented!

Fixed:
Bomb explosion bug
Ladder climbing bug

Current known bugs:
Only in the 68k version, the sprites shown when the guy is climbing ladders or on top of ladders may be completely off, including the guy disappearing while climbing the ladders.


I am getting pretty close to a release on this!  Please report any bugs you may see and make any comments, positive or negative, about the game!

Awesome! I may not try now since I got a lot on my plate and my Nspire has OS 2.0.1 but I can't wait to try the 68k version!

Glad to see this progressing. :)

EDIT: Hmm will the Nspire version works on Ndless 1.0? I got a copy of Goplat emulator somewhere that is already set up (by Bwang) with Ndless 1.0, so I could try it there for now.

In level 3 and 4 you can exit the screen. Also sometimes the boxes and bombs float.

Thank you very much for the bug report!  I will look into this.  If I recall correctly, I think I may have fixed the floating boxes/bombs, but I never uploaded a working version.  As for walking off the screen, that could have been a typo in the level array (I was never able to beat level 4 :P). I really have to get around to adding more levels to this soon.  Hopefully, I will have time to do this during Christmas break!

I should give this a try on my 89...

But level 4 was pretty tricky wasn't it? I'm stuck on level 6 in the 83+ version myself.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Actually, I think there may be a problem with my game engine that might be causing me to be unable to beat the level (Moreso, some changes between the original Block Dude and the original Trapped).  I have not had time to test it recently on the 83, so I still have to figure it out. :)
