ANN: Christmas surprise(R-puzzle)
[1/6] from: cyphre:seznam:cz at: 28-Dec-2002 19:18
Hi all,
Finally, I find little time to hack-up all the code together and release
first public christmas version of R-puzzle game. As I said it is still a
quick hacked version but it is playable so here you are:
do http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/puzzle.r
or desktop/sites/cyphre/r-puzzle
some game info follows:
-this game *needs* latest Rebol/View 1.2.8 beta (sorry guys, but it uses
alphachannel and other stuff so...be patient and wait for the new official
release of your Rebol/View port)
- ingame controlls: LMB drag&drop pieces, RMB rotate pieces
-don't blame me for the strange behaviour of the right mouse button when
clicking to fast under View - this is a bug ;-)
-I decided to pack together with the game some gfx I found on the net so be
patient and download all those ~5MBs of data. I think you will like it ;-)
-next version will have online hi-score, better gui, bugfixes and ofcourse
some nice feautre requests you can send me using in-game feedback.
enjoy it! Have a nice rest of christmas and Happy New Year! And keep up
Reboling!
regards,
Cyphre

Hi Cyphre,
I stuck a probe in to see why the download
stops and here's what I get:

On my sister-in-law's machine with her old 56K modem, I found the download time long
enough but it was such a great pastime you put
together that the wait was very welcome after all...

It is functioning like a charm - then it was so on my Pandora's box but your game consumes
a lot less resources... and it is also
portable ... as soon as the newer 1.2.8. View is ported to other machines and OSes...

this is not too annoying ... since I don't click too quickly!

That was the longest to download but so what for seeing such a great app. running ...

Don't worry, I fixed it with:
load-thru/update/binary http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/puzzle/pics/Beach13.jpg
and doing the game again.
Must have timed out or corrupted or something.
Nice work!
I noticed if you open "feedback" window,
then close it, it closes everything!

And it tests for version compliance :)
However, I tried opening it in Link console, and it told me nogo. Link
console seems to be mostly compliant with the latest /View. .. or not? Could
this be looked at? (I do have /View on hand, though.) Thanks for that test,
though :) Appreciated!!!

Cyphre:
Stunningly beautiful game! (and easier than a traditional puzzle, as you
can drop the pieces where they fit if you get stuck, and just guess) the
extended family enjoyed playing, a nice way to show Rebol to others.
