Boulder Dash Forum

Most people don't even notice the slow explosions. What makes you need fast explosions that badly?

For the best PLCK experience standalone game, I suggest using the Deluxe Packer 1.55: http://www.g ...

By using two inboxes, one of them surrounded by diamonds and the other surrounded by exits, the cave can then be solved with any combination of two inputs, not "only" by pressing right two t ...

Logic DeLuxe's bugfix already fixes the strictly unsolvable caves A/5, I/4 and I/5. However, there are still a few solvable but insane higher-level caves which I also want to fix.The patch was updated ...

I strongly recommend "Crazy Dream 7", the author of Logicdeluxe.It is probably the most feature rich Boulder Dash on the C64, but you likely would prefer playing it on GDash. The C64 version ...

Note, however, that there is an issue with starting values that do not belong to the 949 cycle and can change the behaviour of the first ~30 slimes in the first frame (and only there).
You should cla ...

1. the engine supports the "MW stops amoeba" feature (which the BD2 engine doesn't but many fanmade engines do!);

It is worth a note that this feature is not present in any of the origina ...

Version 2: However, as I learned from Logic in the CSO university thread, the original BD2 engine and also the PLCK engines activate the checkmark immediately when the voodoo is killed.BD2 has no vood ...

This is annoying: Whenever I click on that link which brings me to the first unread post in a topic, I'm suddenly not logged in. I can go back with the browser navigation, and then I'm logged in again ...

Cave 29 ("Time Fuse") starts at 3:24.
This is indeed an example where the implementation matters. It works that way in Gdash, but not in PLCK, Rockford would explode in the same fr ...

Open borders are a topic on its own, especially since there are several different implementations, and none of them is perfect. There is no official way, since the original game didn't have this featu ...

I've checked it, and my suspicions are true. And so are your observations for Gdash. There are relevant differences in Gdash compared to the Atari/C64 engines.

First, let's analyze the voodoo behav ...

So is the magic wall also not completely passive?Magicwall is passive. Most animations are done within the raster interrupt, ie. completely separated from the scanning. BD1 and BD2 caves have even fla ...

First of all, remember that there are some passive elements which
can't do anything on their own. These elements, which are dirt, empty space,
wall, magic wall, titanium wall, voodoo and outbox, a ...

Instead of "virtual map" I'd rather would call in "intermediate map state". And "resulting map" is fine, but I wouldn't call it "visible map", as on Atari and C ...

1. The way amoebas that are trapped from the beginning are dealt with. As
far as I know, the original BD2 engine was not programmed to design such
caves at all, while most modern engines define su ...
