You're not complete until you make an Inukshuk from jam, Or, How to make levels for Manticore
Mon, 24 Oct 2005

A number of folks in the GP32 community have chipped together to fund my getting an upcoming GP2X device, as sort of thanks for doing so much work on the earlier GP32 device and of course to help with development on the new one. I always figure turnabout is fair play, so in anticipation of the new device (and to while away the time while some unpleasant things wind themselves down) I hacked together Manticore.. a cute little puzzler that pays homage to the Palm OS classic freeware Vexed while still adding some of my usual toys into the mix (bombs!) - all coded from scratch in less than 8 hours over a few days with a total runtime of less than 64k (excepting background images.) Naturally, being me, it builds and runs on a dozen platforms from Palm OS to Pocket PC to Sony PSP to Windows and Linux... and hopefully the GP2X once it arrives.. since that was the point afterall :)
