Hey, your video didn't post Paul. Was it YouTube or something else?

Liquid and/or Goop = Awesome visual effect! I love water in games and demos to be honest. Something about the semi-artificial effect in the visuals that's just really beautiful to see on the screen.

You could mix in particles for the falling water and perhaps some kind of water/goop effect on the squares/tiles that contain the water/goop.

Hey WILL, yeah the video is YouTube, and I can see + play it just fine...

I will have a go at particles for the falling water + some tile drawing and see how it goes

Hi all,
I have actually gotten around to doing more of The Probe game...yay!

I have gone back to basics, and created a completely new boulder dash physics engine, and a simple program using that to test out the physics + other ideas and effects

Once I am happy with the boulder dash engine, I will plug that back into the main The Probe game...

Here is some video of the new engine, and you can see some acid dissolving items that fall into it

I'm a little late, but nice job!

So this game is going to be put on the GP2X system huh? Have you been able to test it out on the actual console yet?

Continue posting videos as you progress please.
