Limitactics by Killswitch

[raw]
made by Killswitch for LD27 (COMPO)
Only works on Windows 16-bit or whatever...

There's a glitch that you don't lose when the time runs out. Written in C. My original plan was to program a cube puzzle with Java, but I fell in a "pitfall" situation on the graphics update(). Well, it's better that I finished something than finished nothing. Your main goal is to finish each trial by giving the right answers (which are always integers).

Suggestion: Assume that you lose if the timer becomes 0.0 or lower.

LINKS EDIT: Shortened the code.

Question: Did anyone beat the game with 0.2+ seconds remaining?

Didn't rate since I can't play it, the "only works in Windows 32 bit" thingy is gonna cost you a lot of players. @_@

Ah, a 16-bit executable :)

On the first try I wrote marshmallows, pressed enter and it went nuts ;)

I couldn't get even past the first try (I must be particularly dense), so I just looked them up in the source code O:). Just a simple guessing game, but I do like the spirit of not giving up even when your main game fails. Reminds me of some of my own LD attempts where I just threw in the towel instead of at least finishing something.

For anyone who wants to play this, you can run it inside dosbox.

I have no idea what I just downloaded and run, it gets into an infinite loop when I type "Marshmallow".
10/10 for the C code though.

The answers are all integers, says the info. Damn, what an epic fail for me. :O

Got it to work in DosBox even on Win 7 x 64
Integer-only input is a bit tedious, especially the cipher conversion takes a lot of calculation. Might be a great educational program for highschool IT, letting them learn binary, octals and mathematical patterns :D
