Hi Tom. It's a shame it's come to this sort of situation in the first place and I'm sorry you ran into that kind of thing, though I'm slightly surprised in your game resources you don't have some sort of index or other proof. i have a document for example, originally created in 2001 and added

Well I hope you sort out your ropy code. While I can certainly imagine something like rowland as an audio game, I'm less certain what people wuld make of it, since it was very simplified from even the 8 and 16 bit era games which I got used to later and required a sort of different style of pl

Hi Dark: Sure. I got that. I was just merely speculating that if I wanted to branch out into other games, other side-scrollers, the source code for MOTA might be a good place to start. That is assuming, of course, that I fix the bug in the code causing it not to work with ropes now. I have not bee

Well Tom, the existing code for Mota at least as per the last beta I have is a good bit more complex than Rowland was, at least in character movements. In rowland as I said, you didn't do any jumping, every passage or rope was exactly the size of your character and all enemies took up the
