[dragula96]

Hi Just to let you guys know Made major updates to my Luamines game to v.0.02
please read info below:

you can download v0.03 here: (pspupdates mirror)
http://dl.qj.net/index.php?pg=12&fid=7967



here is a copy of the readme file:

For those of you with firmware 2.0+ having trouble playing it try this

open up the index.lua file in the luamines folder with notepad

delete the line near the top that reads:
System.usbDiskModeActivate()

then save the file.
I think that should fix it since that is a system command, i think that crashes the psp or something.
HAVE FUN



LUAMINES

Luamines is a clone of lumines for the PSP coded in lua.
I always wanted to try codeing tetris but everyone does it,
I thought I'd do something different.

how to play:
press circle () to rotate the blocks right (left rotate still not intergraded)
create squares by putting blocks of the same color next to each other
score points
and squares get deleted
if blocks stack all the way to the top you loose.

Wow, this looks realy nice. Why did you reduce the play grid?

Please ignore me, if you have painted the pictures yourself, but do you have the permission from the painters who draw it, to use it in your game?

well...ummm....no :(

so like if i use all unlicenced images and unlicenced music, can you put my next version up on your luaplayer.org gallery. it would be an honor.

[dragula96]

well the code is now 98 percent complete, all that is left now is to come up with 10 original skins that dont infringe on any copyright and the game can be released.

probably on late saturday or sunday may the 27th or 28th untill then check this out:

Ok its done
I had to remove all the skins and images that i did not paint myself so all skins are kind of generic now (my photoshoping skills are limited), however i have included a "template" with the rar file it is very easy to make your own skins...

here is the info on version 0.03

Really nice! There are a couple of isses though... I'm on LuaPlayer 0.16, 2.0 PSP using eLoader 0.97 but this doesn't seem to pose the problems.

It'll freeze after the 10th level... I guess this is easy to fix by making the levels repeat after the 10th...

The sweap (which will clean the squares you make) seems to have some problems... Try to make the following:

XXXX
XOOX
XOOX
XXXX

It should look like this after 2 sweaps (the "-" is empty space):

X--X
X--X

But instead it'll be like this after a single sweap (or another different):

X---
X---

Also I noticed that if we keep pressing the X or [] the piece will keep rotating. But I thinks this causes the a slowdown when you just press the buttons quickly (sometimes it won't rotate...).

Hope you could check some of these for the next release... A bigger screen to allow more pieces would also be great!
