I’ve added the “to C array” option to all editors export tab. Probably not perfect, but should work good enough.

Currently only in the WIP version, which is always at https://www.georg-rottensteiner.de/webmisc/C64StudioRelease.zip

Will do, thanks!

Do you have an example of the .C format? Just to be sure I do the correct thing. Basically a piece of C code with an byte array of the data?

Glad you like it! Regarding multicolor mode, it follows the restrictions of the C64. You need to set a custom color >= 8. Anything below will stay hires, and only >= 8 will set the multicolor mode. The character color combo list should reflect that by showing two colors.

What a great game! You mossed it all in 56:50

The fish has been retrieved! Nice little game :)

Sokoban mixed with nice lighting, very nice :)

The level selection screens (if I interpret that right) are extremely irritating. I more or less moved about and pressed space until I landed in the puzzle screens.

Lovely, that plays great :) Can’t wait for the new one!

Something’s wrong with the setup, when clicking “Run Game” is says https://html-classic.itch.zone/html/17316532/Build/Build.loader.js net::ERR_ABORTED 403 (Forbidden) in the console.

Phew. Made it. A counter would be nice to see how far you are. The magnifying glass is a nice touch.

For others: You are looking for <^w^> You’ll notice once you found all of them.

Very nice! From the outside it doesn’t look like much of a game, but it’s quite relaxing. White pixels are hard to make out from the regular grid below. Also, parts of the image which are dithered (lots of single pixel blocks) get tedious, would be neat to have less of those.

It’s a javascriptified (Emscripten) version of SDL VICE I’ve found somewhere. Modified the starting page to adapt key mapping and inject either a .d64 or a .prg file directly.

Something’s broken. I can rotate via mouse, but not move.

I was happy enough that some talented guy pixelled the sprites for me, you wouldn’t have liked the sprites I’d done even more :) Also, 16 pixel width doesn’t leave much space unfortunately.

That worked now, thanks! Could it be the count down timer is not reset? I’ve played several times, never making it much further than 20 seconds, and suddenly right two seconds after playing again I won :)

And I even had enough trash to buy my way in.

The collision and randomness is quite tough, but it seems I survived :)

Something’s weird with the embedded game, I see a screen with intro text zoomed in and cut off on all sides. There’s no indication how to start the game.

Very cute! You might want to add a hint that you can move the screen to see all parts of the game.

Unfortunately Retro Remakes is no more. It got hacked somewhere about 2010 and never really recovered. A shame really, it was a vibrant community with tons of Remakes.

I forgot to remove the link. Very sorry about that!

Egg? Egg!

Oops, sorry about that. The designer seems to have moved the original URL. I’ve uploaded the d64 directly to itch.io now.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

It’s embarrassing how I keep forgetting things. Forgot to update the text database file in the setup. New version uploaded (still shows up as 2.7b).

Sorry for thet extremly late reply. I’ve updated the game. The score display is now unlimited (it scrolls after a while), also score is reset after loosing all lives.

Ouch! Thanks, I’ve replaced the file. Sorry about that!

Woah, how did that escape me all those years?? Will fix later today, thanks!

Ouch! Looks like the input control count got changed. The last update was years back. And I didn’t run into that issue locally. If you wouldn’t mind, could you re-map to the intended values?

Really sorry about that, I don’t have a reset control mapping function.

It’s supposed to look like this (german layout)

Fixed that achievement bug (I was copying the achievement settings from the last profile to a newly created one, facepalm). Also reset the score to zero when keeping playing after all lives are gone.

New setup is up, thanks!

The highscore per stage is a bit more involved, currently I’m only storing per set. That would include having to remember delta scores during playing (only count points from that level), and taking care that the order of levels is adapted. for. I’m also afraid that you’re basically getting the same score for every stage when it’s completed but the bonus points.

Oh, that’s definitely a bug. I’ll look into it, thanks!

It’s actually a clone/remake of the C64 game Crillion (1998). I never found out which one of these (Crillion or Diamonds) came first. By some stages it’s obvious one of them cloned the other.

Interesting idea, it was a while ago since I last looked at this. I have to check whether all the score details are still available.

I tried to behave properly with the access rights. “In built” sets are properly installed with the game (Program Files) where there’s no write access when running). User sets (custom made or downloaded) are stored in %AppData%\Roaming\GR Games\HitBlock Deluxe.

I haven’t tried it but manually copying the sets in the game’s sets folder ought to be enough for them to show up.

Try going back a room and bomb the wall.

Ouch! How did you set up the project/file? I can’t reproduce but I’m probably doing something different.

Can you send the exception info to my email? (georg@georg-rottensteiner.de)

There is already a dialect file for XC= BASIC (open a .bas file and select XC= BASIC from the drop down).

You will need to create a solution/project. Add a new .bas file to the project. In the project properties you can add either a custom or a post build event to call the XC= BASIC compiler. I’m not up to date with its call syntax but it shouldn’t be too hard finding out.

The help/manual of C64Studio (F1) is also available online at: https://www.georg-rottensteiner.de/c64/C64Studio/manual/main.html

The description of the build events is found under Build Setup->Build Steps

HTH, otherwise don’t hesitate to ask!

How embarrassing! You’re right, I’ve fixed the high score. Luckily it still fits on one screen :)

Thanks go to the wise people defining the 2nd 16 colors like this :)

Oops, my bad then. I was sure there was a game similar to this, and also with puppy in the name, so I assumed it was a port. I’d would have increased the rating now but it is already max :) My apologies!

You win! :) Solid entry, and even non annoying Sokoban stages!

Incredible, having that in a screen :)

Good work!

I found a bug! And then another one! :)

Very nice :) Needs to speed up with time, I stopped at 153 points.
