Re: Dave Infuriators
Hi Adrian I'd very grateful to see some of you code snippets for saving out. I can so far save stuff, but it is all corrupt, so I assume I'm giving it the wrong parameters for which data to save, the length and filename seems to be fine, though. The manual is a bit too light on information on this I think.

Re: Dave Infuriators
Even better — put it in a public repository and hope that somebody else cleans it up! In reality, if it fits the pattern of just about everything I've ever published then very few people will ever look at it, so what you're mainly getting is a free backup, a free inter-machine synchronisation tool and an excuse to hold yourself to a higher standard. The odd email every few years when someone stumbles upon your stuff and wants to discuss it is a bonus.

Re: Dave Infuriators
The saving from Basic is a good idea because it will make possible to use different Media for saving, but then you should also Load from Basic too. Nice looking game btw.

Re: Dave Infuriators
Nicely done! :-D Look forward to seeing how it progresses! Quoting Andrew Gillen a...@joua.net: Hi all Just thought I'd share with you a peek at the new work in progress for the SAM http://www.blackjet.co.uk/images/uploads/ani0005.gif Not much to say on the project yet other than to say it is a platform / puzzler controlled with two keys; a change direction and a jump. The keen-eyed among you might notice there was no apparent input from the player in the demo, Dave navigated himself around based on what tile he encountered on the way. The final game should have traps, switches and various other things to aid and hinder the player. Cheers Andrew
Re: Dave Infuriators
I'm another looking forward to seeing this one. I'm not usually a fan of platformers - but seeing new SAM software is always nice! If it has the retro feel of Dave Invaders then even better...
