Alright, well it is WAY past the contest date, but I'll make a patch to add a platform to that level to make it easier.

To complete level 5, you first need to nudge the ball, then either run as fast as you can over the gap or climb the ball while it falls to get to the other side. The next part is self explanatory. The sphere can just be pushed off once you get to the top. *snip*

That's strange. I turned on the VWait, so I am not 100% sure what is causing the flickering (but yea, now ASCII mode can eat PCs alive. I'd have to use more WIN32 API to see if that's faster than ReadPixel).

Sorry for the wait. I was tweaking the engine a bit to support 2 new objects:
[li]Physical Floors[/li]
[li]Invisible Walls[/li]
The Physical floors had the same issue with the cans, where I had to add a snip of code for the game to push the player back *snip*

I found the problem. While having speed issues, I turned off the VWAIT. I'll compile a new version with the VWAIT turned on. That should remove the flickering.

I may space out the platforms of Level 3 so it's easier to do. Just remember that the game is based around physics, but you can still SLIGHTLY move while in the air.

Read the readme: hit 'A' to turn on/off Ascii. This can be done in BOTH the title screen and gameplay.

I've been geting mixed results with the ascii renderer. On some higher end PCs, people say it gets a full 60 FPS easy. On other systems, sometimes more powerful PCs, state they get low FPS. My laptop, for example, is an Inspiron 1300, and it gets a full 60*snip*

Alright, let me compile and change the music around (dunno why, the first track was ok, but I didn't like it, so I found a new one to replace it with). I think you may spot where I got the idea from. Now do I need to post it in it's own showcase or do I ju*snip*

Just curious but can I post what I have so far? I only have 6 levels done for my entry with basic functionality (no fancy title screen or any advanced puzzles). At this point I'm just making levels for the game.

Just to clarify, if I have a game where say, a ball is rolling or a crate smashes, if I have the context "ROLL ROLL ROLL" or "SMASH!" with the audio also going with it, would that be fitting the correct theme of the contest?

I have to agree with zebeste. The simple x=x+1 in normal math terms is not possible in the sense that there is no answer. However, in programming, we use this to increment a value. So the situation would define the answer, much like the topic of what car i*snip*
