Oh dear, that hasn't gone down very well, has it?!
Hmm.. First up came the issue with the Level Generator. Things seemed to break fairly late in the project, meaning that different systems were generating different sets of levels. Views 175, Upvotes 25

Retro Broke!

19th June 2017
If you've downloaded RetroRaider-3 at any point today, you might want to re-download the game.
Whilst stress testing my level generator, I accidentally left a few "quirks" in there, including a cheat mode, and a "feature" that locks the game up and doesn't let you play. Ooops.. A fix has been uploaded, so if you're stuck with the broken version, you should go and grab the new one. The broken version sees the current level end if you hit the V key, and the whole game lock up if you tr... Views 12, Upvotes 1

Closing In

DevelopmentsI'm getting near to the goal, now. The game seems to have a good feel, and I spent about 20 minutes last night ensuring that every single one of the 81 (9x9 grid) levels would generate without any crazy array-out-of-bounds errors. Views 8, Upvotes 1

I figured I should give a brief explanation as to how I'm generating the levels in RetroRaider.
This might become a regular series, so if you find this stuff interesting, be sure to let me know in the comments or email or twitter or whatever.. For RetroRaider, the map is split into an 8x8 grid, and each of those are split into a top and bottom. For the sake of making things easier on myself, I decided to make an 8x16 grid.
