Boulder Dash Forum

Great to hear that you like it, and that it was a new start with BD for you! :) To create a new, empty level set in R'n'D, just go to the level editor, click button "CONF", click tab "LEVELSET", select "create new level set" in the "action" selectbox and click...

A new patch release version 4.4.0.5 is available that fixes a number of bugs: fixed broken handling of swipe gestures on touch pads for moving scrollbars fixed saving setup for name/team, keyboard and joystick changes fixed saving setup for music and sound button changes fixed saving setup for virtu...

This is all very interesting, and I will also check and compare the ".gds" versions with the ".bd" versions of the cave sets mentioned here, and how they might differ regarding playability/solvability of caves as mentioned. Regarding "old GDash" vs. "new GDash"...

Well, I consider Crystal to be either Rockford's sister or Rockford's girlfriend.

Good question, actually! :-D I think I mostly see Rockford as some sort of abstract player sprite (which in fact is just what he is), just like in many of those old C64 games where there were only around 16x16 pixels for the player figure (or even only 8x16, with horizontally wider pixels), never th...

Is it ok, that collecting clocks leaves dirt behind? Yes, at least that's how it works in GDash. That stops rockford for 1 frame and makes it impossible to run through without being hit by the boulder. https://igormakovsky.com/asmysl/bd-clock.mp4 Just interested. Is that how it really has to work? ...

Oops, indeed! However, the only improvement is support for the second game panel, so I just fixed the wording a bit! Thanks!

BTW: I like to draw,, feel free to request me to draw sprites for a bd-like/fan game If you would like to play BD caves using your own, self-drawn Rockford graphics, you can do so by defining your very own artwork set for the game "Rocks'n'Diamonds" (which can play all those thousands of B...

That's great -- you are a true BD fan!!!

Hello M3GG1RL! I waited a bit for the "official" forum maintainers to welcome you, but as nobody has answered yet: Welcome to the Boulder Dash Forum! :D I am always happy to see that younger people (or let's say: people of all ages) like to play Boulder Dash, and not only those who grew up...

A new patch release version 4.4.0.4 is available, which mainly adds support for the second game panel for the BD game engine, but also fixes a few bugs related to playing BD games with multiple lives: added support for game panel values for native BD game engine added support for toggling extra game...

In the editor it would be cool if the actual position is shown somehow. Maybe a blinking tile or a border around the tile when moving the cursor/mouse (GDash uses this method). So far, I did not think that this might be needed (as you can see where the mouse pointer points to), but it might indeed ...

A new patch release version 4.4.0.3 is available which fixes a few bugs and adds some polishing here and there: fixed cave score (tape score) when playing BD games with multiple lives fixed flickering panel score when playing BD games with multiple lives fixed fast-forwarding BD game engine when ski...

Added the patch, that indeed fixes the per-cave high score tracking but also makes the final score flicker again :) I guess this confirms the initial findings related to it - you most likely already have it addressed separately in the way you described above, right? Yep, right. The short flickering...
