[Release] Pipeline 0.3

[snowymydog]

Here comes the Pipeline v0.3

What's new:
- new levels added (total 43 levels)
- Full featured level editor
- <About> screen now working
- When clear all levels, ending screen now working correctly
- known bugs fixed

I put big efforts on the level editor, hope everyone enjoy.

"Pipeline" is a remake of the famous puzzle game "Pipemania(aka Pipedream"). Rules are simple: construct a path using the randomly generated pipes from starting point to ending point. Water starts to flow when timer finishes the countdown. If you let the water spill out or did not meet the minimum distance requirement, you fail.

I do all the coding and gfx. Sfx from flashkit.com & soundsnap.com. This homebrew is entering the PSP-Hacks homebrew competition.

Controls:
D-pad/Analog-Nub: moves the cursor
X or O: put down a pipe
Triangle: Speed up the timer and water flow
Start: pause/resume game

How to use the editor:
D-pad/Analog-Nub: moves the cursor
X or O: put down a pipe
Square: erase a pipe
L/R trigger: rotate the pipe
Triangle: pop up the select pipe window
Start: pop up the editor menu

The editor menu:
New: add a new level
Save: save all the levels to memory stick
Next: navigate next levels
Previous: navigate previous levels
Properties: set up parameters for individual level
- distance: minimum length required to advance to next level
- flow speed: the speed of the water flow
- timer speed: speed of the timer
- difficulties: controls how the pipes are generated, increase the difficulties will increase the 'One-way pipes' generated
Exit: exit the editor and back to main menu

Under 1.50 kernel, the game freezes when I try to save (so I can't go past level 5).

Under 3.40 kernel, the game freezes at "snowymydog".

Is 1.50/3.40 support just completely out?

Wow this has come along quite quickly and it looks like you optimized your graphics too (folder is like 4MB smaller). Thanks.

This game looks incredibly fresh, and although I love it, I really do suck at it... can't get past level 4 xD

I tried the first version, and I never got past level 1. The reason is that I pressed some button and this 'level editor' or something came up, and I didn't get it so I edited the whole level and after that when I tried to play level 1 it was just messed up... Lol I probably should have deleted my save, but now that the new version is out I'll just try it.

Thanks for the report.

Are you running the program from XMB, or from any shell?

Anyway, follow the link below to download the new eboot. Maybe it can work for your firmware. Please let me know. Thanks.

I'm running from the XMB. Thanks for the new eboot; I'll try that.
