Boulder Dash Forum

My favorite is still GDash - and due to the BD-Engine RnD of course.

You should report bugs. I also reported that the engine is somewhat off a bit. There is also a discord group.

Maybe somebody can open an issue on the GDash Github website because of the Krissz engine support.

Thank you for your reply!

Better more than less setup possibilities!

Wow! That's great!

As you support a few different engines - would it be possible to set the custom artwork for each engine separately (graphics/sounds/music)?
It's a bit annoying to change it each time.

Looking very promising! MacOS version requested!

I got the game and played it for a while. First I noticed that there is no possibility to define keys for controlling the game. Never seen a game where I can't define the keys by myself. I'm not a big fan of gamepads for some games, Boulder Dash belongs to the group for me. So keyboard is my first c...

Sounds promising.

Can this weird score indication when collecting diamonds be switched off? Looks awful and distracts a lot.

Would you consider it a worthy successor or does it feel like a clone - close but without the real Boulder Dash feeling?

Did anybody already buy the latest Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary? How is the game play and game mechanics? Is it worth buying or does it differ that much that is not worth playing?

In the editor it would be cool if the actual position is shown somehow. Maybe a blinking tile or a border around the tile when moving the cursor/mouse (GDash uses this method). And somehow it is unusual that there is no select tool (as far as I can tell it's similar to the pick up tool in RnD) as de...

You forgot adding the dig key to continue playing in the BD engine

The multiple lives option for the Boulder Dash engine is just great!
It would be cool if playing could be continued by pressing the snap key or joystick button after losing a live.

Very interesting!

I think it’s a bit uncertain what Apple does with OpenGL, it would certainly be better to implement something like bgfx…

I do not fully understand the reason why i is that way on GDash but it works that way. I think the option Force Renderer results in 60 fps. You can always mail the author of the latest GDash fork, he’s a nice guy from Germany…
