Without killing yourself.\r\nTo detonate a bomb, you go to that square and press space to trigger the bomb - it will then fire when you leave the square.\r\n\r\nThere are three sizes of bomb - the smallest will destroy the tile they're on and set off any bombs in the surrounding squares\r\nthe medium size bomb will destroy adjacent squares as well, triggering any other bombs in a two-square radius.\r\nthe large bomb will destroy an area of 3 square radius (triggering secondary explosions in any other bombs in the 4 square radius circle)\r\n\r\nComplicating matters, there are other types of tile\r\n\"Fragile\" tiles can only be stepped on once and will disintegrate when you leave them.\r\n\"Ice\" tiles, on which you cannot stop - if you enter a patch of ice tiles you'll skid all the way to the other end.\r\n\"slot\" tiles, which allow you to move the bombs to other adjacent slotted tiles. (To do this, press \"p\" to pick up or drop the bomb).\r\n\r\nDevelopment\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nBombusaXX was developed in c++ with Visual studio Express 10. Though I reused some window-and-opengl setup code from other projects of mine, there was no framework involved beyond that.\r\n\r\nGraphics are done in the Gimp.\r\n\r\nDidn't get around to doing sound.. It was on the todo list but I ran out of time.<\/p>","title":"BombusaXX"}
