Groundhog Puzzle by Sebastian Mihai is a direct implementation of the “15 puzzle” game, which comprises a four by four sliding tile area, where one tile is missing. The goal is to restore a configuration where tiles are in order.

In Tumulus by yllawwally you are an adventurer, out to stop the fiends coming from Tumulus. This game is inspired by Golden Axe.

Changes/Notes:

All 5 bosses now have some graphics, and can be fought against. They’re not complete, but at least they show up, and can be defeated. The screen size no longer gets 5 lines taller when the bosses are on the screen. However that causes a small graphics corruption of the player. Level should now increment properly, and reset to 0, when boss 5 is killed. I was comparing to 5, when I should be comparing to 4. The mummy is no longer skipped. This version has a boss every 4 monsters. This will be changed later, it’s just so all the bosses can be fought easily. I think the score is finally fixed, sometimes the last digit would go over 9.

Boss 4 is messed up, will need to look into what’s wrong, maybe a page boundary problem. Sometimes hitting a monster in one lane hurts another monster in a different lane, maybe related to boss code? Sometimes if player touch boss, especially mummy he gets corrupted. I’ve seen this before, but can’t remember cause. Still need to add bosses special attacks. Will-o-wisp is done(blue ball), mummy is done(just needs color fixed), the other three I haven’t started on.

+ pfscorebar (citrus power) now gray.
+ I have 1 byte left (or as Visual bB likes to say it “1 bytes left.” I can’t really do much with 1 byte to spare though.

Release notes:

So I went back and redid a few things. I can now pick the colors for the playfield and the pfscorebar. I chose green for the playfield and red for the pfscorebar, but I can change it if I felt like it without screwing up the whole game. But one thing I do want to remark is I have 0 bytes left. I still would like feedback on the score numbers. Are they ok and readable, or should I go with something else?

Overbearing Burgers by Sebastien Mihai is a Sega Dreamcast homebrew game featuring a hungry brown bear.

PPSSPP is a PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and (soon) ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler. PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there’s support for OpenGL ES 2.0.

Changes:

* Bugfixes like the save state scroll issue, cosmetic issues like overscroll
* Some cheat code bugfixes
* Adler32 and Mersenne Twister modules added (fixes some obscure games)
* Fix for Jak & Daxter slowdown
* Fix compatibility with some PowerVR devices broken since v0.9.5-959-g4998044

Release notes:

I need help. I just didn’t want this to be a timed game, so I decided that if I don’t want it to be a timed game, then I would like to make the banana move gradually faster until a top speed is attained. Say, once every 8 crosses Larry gets, the banana moves faster, just to make this simple. Because I don’t know how to do this, so I need your help. I tried various methods and I just can’t get it to gradually move faster. Here is the code. You have 19 bytes left. I moved around some code and got rid of unnecessary add-ons for this version. Anyone care to help?
