That’s not much. It will be interesting to take a look at the code when the game is finished.

Not sure if you've noticed but the code is available since a while. Link is in the original post.

No, I hadn't! It shows how prog8 makes it possible to write games effectively. Useful libraries, easy to write inline assembly. All I have done so far is pure assembler, but I will look to higher-level alternatives when I find the time. So this is interesting to take a look at.

I have updated the original post with version 1.0 of the game. It should be fully functional and playable.

EDIT: False alarm, I had a problem and I thought it was because of the emulator version, but it was because of my snap version of firefox

Updated the game in the top post with version 1.1

This contains several optimizations and some bugfixes.

However there is 1 potential game-breaking bug which is related to certain tile animations like explosions.
This can't be easily fixed without redesigning the way the game does tile animations, so it will take me a while to fix that. I really want to do this though because some levels cannot be finished currently.

Updated the game in the first post with the most recent version.

A game breaking bug is fixed where you were sometimes unable to collect a diamond that appeared out of a butterfly explosion.

Even if I'm not a die hard fan of Boulder Dash, this game gave me some pleasure. Great work!

I am glad you liked it!!

Did you run into any bugs while playing?
(Technically it's still in beta)

Not a lot. I need to play it again and see if I face bugs. I will report bugs as soon as I find one or more.

I know about 1 pretty large bug; tile animations of explosions may be shown incorrectly ("pillar of flames" problem).

Fixing this requires rewriting the whole animation system, which is why I've not yet started to fix it.
