Hello

I took my time to make a remake of a great logical game with the basic idea of the C64 game "LOGO".

You have to rebuild the level by yourself.
You'll find out how it works, but just don't give up in the first level. It really is fun to get into the high levels.

Great game, i've come to lvl 36 so far, but i have to do homework now

Devils Child · « **Reply #2 on:** January 13, 2008 »

thx

i came only to level 24 as you see my name there is "DEVILS"
my brother played this on our real c64 computer and came to lvl 52 on the first go!
i wonder if you can come to the final level... there are 120 levels in total.
i hope you wrote down your level password

That's a really great idea for a game

I tried playing it but the timer was set at 0.00 so it seemed impossible to die.. Eventually I got stuck.

Devils Child · « **Reply #4 on:** January 13, 2008 »

i decided not to set a time limit. thats simply because you might as well jump into any level you want using a password.

what do you mean you are stuck?
did you manage the first level and understand the game principes?

Paul · « **Reply #5 on:** January 13, 2008 »

er... i think there is a bug in there, on lvl 48
Or maybe i missed something in the game logic?
Doesnt the 4 need 3 neighbors

Devils Child · « **Reply #6 on:** January 13, 2008 »

weird. this is the original level from the c64 game i played in the emulator.

anyway, i changed the 4 to a 3 in the database. you should be able to see the changes right now. continue playing and tell me if the level works now.

thanks for the report!!

I mean that I got to a level where I could not solve it and I could not see how to send my score to the high score table.

IE. I wanted to end the game and couldn't see how.

Devils Child · « **Reply #9 on:** January 13, 2008 »

you can always quit the game using the

ESC

key

say, which level is it? all levels up to 47 has been solved by paul...

========================
EDIT::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
i changed the level 48 to somethig that is playable.

I pressed esc and it seemed to quit without saving.

imho the game is great but you should put some instructions into it.

Devils Child · « **Reply #11 on:** January 14, 2008 »

when you press ESC, you will either enter the highscore or view the highscore.
but there is a password for every level, you have to write down, so you can enter right a certain level.

introductions? - well, i think i was a pretty lazy ass concidering this. but the original game didnt have any tutorials, too

i think the first level(s) are the tutorials.

did you try the game? - i mean did you understand it?

Shockwave · « **Reply #12 on:** January 14, 2008 »

Yep I think I worked it out. You put a block and depending on how many adjacent things happen to the block, the count goes up and you have to replicate the image.

It's a great idea for a game.

Devils Child · « **Reply #13 on:** January 14, 2008 »

actually its a 20 years old idea from the game i made a remake of.
but thats the age where the great ideas came from

Shockwave · « **Reply #14 on:** January 14, 2008 »

Another great C64 remake would be Dropzone

Cool ... I like it. And really cool that it features an online highscore system!

Devils Child · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2008 »

wow, when i finaly overran you in highscore of level 56 you overrun me by beeing 86

didnt though someone would play it so far. even me:)

Paul · « **Reply #18 on:** January 17, 2008 »

That game is kinda fun if you have a fem minutes to spend

Are the levels generated randomly and saved at your server? or how does it work?

Devils Child · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2008 »

i played the original game using a cheater version an skipped all the leves making screenshot. then i took those 120 screenshot of each ORIGINAL level and coded a little "scanner" that scans the images and uploads the 120 original levels to the server within a minute!
clever idea, and it works. the bug in level 48 was even in the cheater version i played on the emulator...
