Hi,

I'd like to inform C64 lovers that a new preview of HOC INIT EXIT - a toy game for the C64 I fiddle with in my spare time - is now available: check it out on CSDb (http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=90950).

Hello,

I'd simply like to inform you that since the previous announcement there have been a couple of updates.
The changes are minor:
* fixed a badly positioned variable assignment which inhibited the reset of difficulty at the beginning of a new game;
* fixed color flickering occurring when the "GAME OVER" string was flashing and the pig was on the first or second platform;
* retouched graphics slightly;
* sped-up a little platforms generation.

The latest version is available on the CSDb page (http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=90950) as usual.

List of changes since version 2c:
* added end-of-level special phase (including new graphics and music);
* improved graphics;
* added catches notification;
* added music fadeout;
* improved platforms variety;
* fixed a bug in the chart saving routine (only the first save would work);
* made many speed and memory optimizations;
* made lots of other changes (mostly internal, for future development).

(To administrators: since I'll be posting about all versions always in this thread, is it possible to remove the "2" from the title?)

Here I am again, happy to announce that the final version is now out!

I'd like to inform you that I've just relased a little update.
Changes:
* fixed the flicker of some pixels, which was visible only on real machines and accurate emulators;
* added level part to score shown in in-game screen;
* compressed the program for faster loading;
* made various other minor changes.

Here are a few updated screenshots:
