I know you lot enjoy a good old game when bored so I thought you wouldn't mind bug testing the latest game I've developed. It's called Techno Blocks, and it's a strategic/logic game with a twist. Programmed it in C# and it runs on DirectX 9.0c December 2006 Edition.

Download link: http://www.adm-studios.com/download/TechnoBlocksTrial.zip

The website is: http://www.adm-studios.com/

If you find any bugs, tell me however you like, and I hope you enjoy the game!

Thanks guys! Smile

Nicely made. How long did it take you to create this game? Did you create all the assets yourself too? Good job!

if the user doesn't have direct X it throws an error. when you run it.

I have played it... looks pretty good. Couple things I have found though.

1) When you click the exit button during a "Match Logic Puzzle", it takes you back to the "Link Logic Stage Menu". And when you click the exit button in a "Link Logic Puzzle", it takes you back to the "Match Logic Stage Menu".

2) Are you sure that the 3rd stage of Link Logic has a solution? I've tried every way I could think of and no matter what I've tried, you must cross paths to link them all. Just curious if it's been tested before? Has anyone else been able to complete the 3rd stage Link Logic puzzle?

Anyways, it's a fun little game, I'm sure the non-trial version puzzles would be much more challenging. And the graphics look very nice, and crisp also. All in all, well done!

That's why in the game folder there is version of DirectX the game runs with. Smile

I'll have an update that auto-detects this and applies the DX if needed. Thanks majikent, I've fixed the bug and I've corrected other stuff too, Link Puzzle 3 has a solution, want me to show you? Smile

make sure you "try" "catch" everything so you can display your own error. sometimes the errors can get nasty.

You should actually use try-catch blocks scarcely and only in spots you are sure could throw an error because they can be a huge performance factor.

I completed all 6 stages of all the games Smile

Very good looking game, didn't spot any bugs at all, and I am sure it would be quite addictive if we had all the levels Very Happy

Very Happy

Took me a while to work out some of the link logic ones though.

You should never do something like that, it's ineficiant code (and adds to the processing power and file size).

I learnt that from an exeption handeling video tut on the MSDN start page (in visual studio).

I'll release smaller versions, just this version contains all the runtime files such as the newest DirectX 9.0c and the .NET 2.0 framework.

Third seems impossible to me. Unless there is something special that isn't mentioned.

Edit: NVM figured it out.
