We're working on it! We've been focussing on the latest patch for the Switch version recently, plus we've been running loads of coding workshops over the summer, so the Windows version has had to be somewhat on the back burner. However, we're back on it so keep your eye on this space for updates!

Oh ok that would explain it. I got it to work though so no worries thanks for the reply

Thank you :)

I'm necroing this old post again lol. I have now ported the game not only to the playdate handheld which seems i never mentioned here but also to the vircon32 fantasy console. The playdate port was made last year and is in black and white only as the playdate only has a 1 bit screen, the game is playable also in the browser and on pc and so because i created an SDL2 implementation of the playdate api just to be able to let people play my playdate games on other systems than playdate.

The now just released Vircon 32 port is kinda crazy on its own as the Vircon 32 is a fantasy console that runs on 15mhz cpu at 640x360 and i had to optimize the game a lot sometimes even splitting up logic and drawing over multiple frames or in the case of the toady game limitting tiles used by zooming in on the game a bit

The vircon32 port is available here : https://joyrider3774.itch.io/retrotime-vircon32-version
The playdate port is available here : https://joyrider3774.itch.io/retrotime-playdate

This is what I ended up going with it’s a little messy but I’ll put it here incase it’s helpful to anyone else. I’m working with sprites so I believe I can’t just sprite[0] = sprite[1]. If you can I haven’t been able to get it to work.
Thanks again.

function remove(ref o_array, index) array n_array[len(o_array) - 1] var offset = 0 var i for i = 0 to len(n_array) loop if i == index then offset = 1 endif n_array = createSprite() setSpriteImage( n_array[i], block_image ) setSpritelocation( n_array[i], getSpriteLocation( o_array[ i + offset ] ).x, getSpriteLocation( o_array[ i + offset ] ).y + ( offset *8 )) setSpritecolor( n_array[i], getSpriteColor( o_array[ i + offset ] ) ) removeSprite( o_array[i] ) repeat removeSprite(o_array[ len(o_array) - 1 ] ) return n_array

@max_shen Thanks for the feedback!
I'll look into getting those errors fixed. Splitting the trees into two separate sprites might be hard because the tree sprites I'm using are setup to be just one full sprite. I'm working on adding more items too for the shop and chests. There's still alot I want to add to the game to make it a full experience and not just a short demo. But there's still some refining that needs to be done to the current code and gameplay for sure. I'll put the errors and improvements you suggested at the top of the list of what needs updating. Stay tuned!

This is awesome, thanks for posting! I've tried to figure out how to do this myself on past occasions, and gave up-- my math skills aren't the best.

Update: im still here lol, rn im just trying to recreate the whole game from scratch to try to make it much less glitchy and optimized and actually readable. It’s going pretty well so far

Incredible work! Your passion and respect for the history is evident.. I hadn't come across King of Sumeria before. This has been a fascinating read!

@mozipha oh I can't believe I didn't notice that thanks a bunch
