Boulder Dash Forum

Heyo! It's been a while. New caves are coming in. That's right, it's DangerDash Vol. 07! This caveset is lighter weight this time, but it's still the same thing: at least 20 caves (sans intermissions) worth of challenge and high-scoring fun. The concept of "french vanilla Boulder Dash" con...

Since the options to store the cavesets elsewhere aren't available, the bundle package on the github has been updated with the inclusion of Dangerdash Vol.06 -- as well as the current versions of every other caveset. You can find that here.

I know there's been a bit of radio silence but things were cooking up under the radar. I finally had the time to finish and polish the next DangerDash. Unfortunately, I am no longer using the Github for the distros, so you'll have to wait until Vol.06 is published to the Boulder Dash Game Base, when...

revvv updated GDash-crli-export with the two extra caves, and as of the current minor update, has added the fixes for older entries in the Dig/Dangerdash caves, as well as DangerDash Vol.5.

Hey, I know it's been a fair while. Other obligations hit me when things were already kinda being cleaned up. Ultimately, I am still leaving Dangerdash 1 on the Gamebase for two particular reasons: that the original and the version in BD40 are still quite different, enough that they are still two se...

I'm interested in seeing how this project pans out. Looking forward to seeing specific implementations of what the old engines did (like BD1/BD2's scanning mechanisms). Looking good so far.

Rebinding has been one of the several gripes of players of this game, and I think they are working on a way to hopefully let that be possible.

I say it's the closest that it's ever gotten to the original experience. Feels familiar, but also fresh, without trying to be what it is representing.

The classic trio still has a few things that purists will nitpick at, but the modern experience overall has a lot of polish closer to the original game, in terms of object and enemy behavior. My only gripe is that the amoeba tends to be a little faster than usual in some cases. But I'm sure there's ...

Hi, These levels are from Krissz's site which operates on an engine that has some slight differences with GDash, but otherwise remains feature-equivalent. The only difference is that it is impossible to have smooth transitions between borders of a level without tooling with the renderer and creating...

DangerDash Vol. 01 was updated: G/3 (Mysticism) had an autofill RNG state where the level auto-failed due to the magic wall immediately triggering. The seed for the initial fill was adjusted to prevent it. The pack is updated to reflect this.

Yeah, this option should randomize colors despite a cave having predetermined colors, as an override

No word from Arno in regard to publishing Dangerdash Vol.5 to the GameBase just yet.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'm opening an issue with the repo pointing this out. EDIT: doing comparisons between the archive and what I currently had in my repo, revv has 1.0 whereas I had 1.01 which addressed this. I brought it up while I was opening the issue. I also permitted the use of the enti...

The caveset you might've been using was most likely outdated if there was one with issues. Glad the push came through.
