Well hello qj, s'been a while,

So I haven't been doing much PSP programming recently as I have moved to PC programming and the two tool chains seem to disturb one another so i had to move my PSP one to the recycle bin.

Any way,
I visited the Art Institute of San Diego last Saterday and put in my application. I want to go there for game programming, and found out about a scholarship contest that they were having. I decided to enter in the visual & game programming division. What we had to do was the following,

a) Make a technical design document
b) One drawing or digital rendering of a charactor
c) One drawing or digital rendering of a set location

Well, seeing as I've already programmed a game for my english class back in March, I felt that this would be a great opportunity to use it and nab the 8,000 dollar 1st place award! Seeing as there is a player and a map envirement rendered to the screen, it should qualify.

So I polished it up, gave it a menu and 3 complete maps and came up with

"By His Bootstraps - Scholarship Edition"

Now this is for PC(though I heard it works well on linux with wine), and im pretty sure this is not the appropriate forum for this, but I haven't done much with this community in a while and I could not find another developement forum here.

So, if the mods would like to move it were it is more appropriate, be my guest.

Can you guys tell me what you think of it?

Jumping pad glitches if your just on the corner, the image just flickers for a while & then returns to jumping.
What Graphics lib are you using? Nice overall

Moved it to the Windows section. Sounds about right.

Anyway, there are a few collision errors and a few ways you can improve it but this is a good game. I'd have loved it on the PSP though.

Like Dan said, What graphics lib did you use but also are you going to continue on with it? (without people donating enough)

I use the Allegro library, i imagine it would be pretty easy porting it to the Old school lib, with, but ya, i plan to continue working on it

This has been updated a bit, not much, just some more sounds, and level 3 is easier
