I now have a moderately interesting box stacking game. Which is quite entertaining to play around with -- for example building a tall tower and then placing a box between a pair of crates in the middle. However, I have no idea what to do with it. How should I turn this into an actual game? What should I add to make the fun last for more than half a minute? Give me ideas!

Corrupt archive? Hmm... Try this one instead. |

Running the exe... "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." Maybe my WinRar is old. -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

Bah! Why does that always happen when I make something in VC++? Let me fiddle around with it a little bit...

The file size just keeps growing, but if it works then it's got to be worth it. Let's give it another try: Link |

No luck, sorry. I know for visual basic (eww!) I have to distribute an installer for the runtime library. Maybe there's something available on the Microsoft website? -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

I don't want to include a runtime library; I just want the program to run out of the box :/ Why do they always have to complicate things so much? I'll continue trying. |

If anyone can bother, then try downloading this first. After that, you can try running my program. Even if this does work, I still need to find a better way of distributing things. |

No luck, maybe after a reboot though.

Oh my god! It works! I've finally managed to fix this damn error! This is the final error-less build. |

That is really good! I'll try to think of some ideas for you. I'll keep it in the back of my mind.

Worked perfectly for me and I love it. Could you compile a version which runs full screen at 1792*1344? I'd like to play around with it again but in a bigger playing area. It'd also be nice if the boxes shoot off in the direction that the mouse is moving so I could throw the boxes around. |edit| I especially love how you can place blocks anywhere and it will push those around it further out. One thing I'd change though is that when you right-click to delete the blocks, any new ones you place whilst the old ones are fading out are deleted too. I'd change it so that new ones aren't deleted. |edit| |

I could do that, JL. But I still need to come up with a game idea. Brainstorm! |edit| I made it 1024x768, that's enough, isn't it? |edit| |

I saw a tetris game that had boxes falling/roll all over the place.... I never actually played it, so I cannot comment on the gameplay... But the screenies looked, well, a jumbled mess! But I think it was a commecial project and sold pretty well. Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

Not as good as mine: This stood for about 5 minutes before the left side collapsed, then the right, and then half of the middle. Then when I was adding more blocks it suddenly crashed (the program not the building)! I presume it was to do with the shear number of blocks I had as it was quite slow too. |

I gave up in the end, but I'm gonna try again now  .What was your technique for stacking them?

Wow - that's massive, JL! No wonder it was slow!
