already announced on UTI, now on maxcoders TM!
anyway... for those who don't know, supaplex is one of the more famous versions of boulder dash type of games.
features:
its an app, 2 or 3 pages (the original had over 1 mb of data
)
111 levels (if i can fit them on the calc.... levels take 5 min average)
highscores
screenies: this is level 13, which is way to hard (failed 9 times and still counting)
(yes, i died before i got to the hard part....., view in firefox)
edit: WHAT? 256 kib max file size? the .gif is over 3 mb
(sorry for the choppy-4-shades-of-gray screenie...)

This game looks astonishingly close-to-finished already. How'd you make the titlescreen by the way?

Good work on the project!
I removed the screenshot as the link contained the password to your FTP account (which I don't think you really wanted to share with the world). It was also ludicrously enormous; please try and keep screenshots under 512K (which is pretty huge anyway!)

Nice work, darkstone knight! It's awesome to see everyone keeping progress on their projects. Maybe one day I will have some of my own (calculator projects), rather than this old and simple one:

The screenies look great!

Couldn't you optimise the screenshots?

In the past I've used Adobe ImageReady (part of Photoshop), though that tends to choke on GIFs with a very large number (>1000) of frames. Paint Shop Pro's equivalent, Animation Shop, handles larger GIFs much better, but doesn't optimise as nicely.
Dropping the resolution down to the native 96x64 helps quite a lot, as does dropping the framerate. Unfortunately, last time I used Wabbitemu changing either of those properties caused it to output broken GIFs
