XBrained: A Brainf*** Compiler

I present to everyone who cares to listen: The first finished on-system compiler of the X16 - A Brainf*** compiler It still uses ASCII, mostly ISO mode, but also uses 0A as newline instead of 0D. Also, input is terminated by 00, memory cells are limited to one byte, and there's only 256 of them. So ...

Re: Vault of the Vindicator: Playtest (Now finished, see Downloads)

Thanks! Regarding saves, the biggest issue is making the save select menu system, since right now there is no menu system at all. Also it takes less than an hour to get to the end, so it doesn't seem that worthwhile.

Vault of the Vindicator: A 3D Roguelike

Title.png Level 1.png Loot.png Level 2.png A cold breath of moist, putrid air escapes the staircase into the depths. This must be it. He must be down there. Hopefully.

Re: Vault of the Vindicator: Playtest

Alright, new version!
Added easy mode, minimap tracing and some music for the main areas (rest to come)

I can't really do a full pixel by pixel minimap, there just isn't enough room on a 160x120 playfield.

Re: Vault of the Vindicator: Playtest

Thanks! Minimap tracing seems possible, the biggest limitation there is loram, which I'm pretty short of. Textured ceilings and floors are pretty easy, you'd just draw all of them in the field of view before you draw the walls. I thought about doing that, but since that didn't seem that important fo...

Re: Vault of the Vindicator: Playtest

Thanks for playing! The pause screen thing is good to know, I changed that. The splash screen is just the normal Ingame HUD rn. I could maybe change that, but that'd involve drawing yet another screen. We'll see. The color change is in Level 4. I intended that to be kinda the reward for getting out ...
