Finished and uploaded!
I'm very happy. I think it's a nice game. It has 9 puzzles but once you finish all you start again but faster! It has also some music and cows.
I hope you like it!

I was testing the game, looking for what does it easy or hard. I think it was too easy so I've added cows to the equation. Now the game is more interesting and a better chalenge...
That's all today. Tomorrow I'll add scoring, the arcade loop increasing the level in each stage and sound, then it will be finished in time! 8^D

The title screen. The ASCII train moves through the screen and shows the key commands.

GAME COMPLETE! Yes, after a hard work fixing some bugs in the derailment detection the game engine is complete.
So this afternoon and tomorrow morning I can spend time with the player menu, the help screen, the ASCII art and (hopefully) sounds and level design.
I'LL FINISH MY ENTRY! 8^D

Now, the train stops only if there are travellers in the station.

The train stops at the stations. Great!

It was hard but now the engine manages the stations correctly.
Tomorrow I'll add the "Game Over" flag and all the other stuff.

The game engine is very near to be complete! The train machine moves along the tracks and it's possible to rotate or slide the tracks pieces. The turn motion isn't very accurated but I'll change it only if I have enough time to do it.
Now I need to put the train stations and the "Game Over" flag and the engine will be completed.

I've added a double buffer to prevent flickering and time interrupts to manage time. I've also split some of the code in more functions and some of the files in more files.
The screenshots shows very nice games. I think there are very good ideas here. This year we'll get nice games to play with. And a lot of trains!
Now I'm stop coding, but I'll back soon...

The train isn't moving but it's rendered in the correct places and it blocks the tiles that are under it.

I have some problems trying to visualize how to manage the train station objects...
While I did some changes in graphics.

"Arena" class finished. It can rotate and slide the tiles and manage different puzle sizes.
Now I must stop coding for a while. This afternoon I must code the train class and the station class, and the whole engine will be finished!

Ok, you can use them, but make a good use please. And give me credits! ;^)

The game engine is near to be complete. I think tomorrow the game will be finished and I would spend some time on sounds, graphics and levels.
But now I'll go to dinner and to sleep.
Good night everybody and 'till tomorrow!

The engine isn't finished but it reads the graphics, creates a board and shows it on screen.
I've reused the board class I created for my Reversi (released in January). I did a good job!

The rules of the puzzle written. They're simple, very simple, just like the best puzzles (Tetris, Puyo-puyo, Pipe-mania...).

I have an idea: a puzzle game wich involves trains. The problem is the "Time" rule because I dont like "time limit" in a game. Hope I find a way for the "Time" rule soon...
Well, I've planned to write the engine today (is very simple) and use the week end for graphics, build levels, test, etc...

Rules read!
- Time: Easy: Each level is a different Era and you should back the yours...
- Train: Easy: Any level would be inside a train...
- Help function: Easy: If press F1 show a help screen with keys and so...
- ASCII Art: Easy: One of the future levels would be all ASCII art...
Now, what game would I do? Thats a good question.
