  2. That’s fine.
    One day, I’m going to beat the game once again just to see how fast this can be done, but after that, I’m also going to say good bye to it.

  3. I have sold nearly my everything to be able to earn gems and time bombs. Once I have bought fifteen timebombs, at that point I became poor and yes, you’re right, I had used the robot parts immediately, thus nothing had happened, leading me to not being able to complete level 30, getting impatient and eventually getting a finished save from my brother, and once I’ve got that save, I discovered that items I later on get by playing levels won’t save, so I lost interest on that game and deleted it.
    Well, it was a long sentence but anyway 😀

  4. You probably took the parts and used them right away.
    This is why you then had no robot parts and nothing happened.
    This means that the tutorial statement saying that different items may be available in the shop on specific levels and/or in specific circumstances, refers particularly to lv 20.
    You can buy a timebomb only if you have less, than 15 in the inventory.
    This is actually the only thing that can be bought with gems, so if you manage to deactivate all the 15 time bombs at lv 10, you can feel free to sell gems to earn more gold, since you won’t need more bombs.
    The final item required to complete the robot helper appears only if you have 8 parts in your inventory.

  6. Ok, here’s how to do it.
    First, save up at least 8 mines for lv 20.
    Of course, buy the parachute to be able to survive the 1000 feet fall.
    Once you fall and destroy the wall, there’ll be a cement ladder with the 8 bots at the top platform.
    Blow them up with mines, this is the safest solution.
    Take the parts.
    With the 8 robot parts in your inventory, visit the shop again.
    You should now be able to buy the final item required to complete the bot.
    Hint, it’s quite expensive.
    Now you can use all the robot parts by navigating to them and pressing enter 8 times.
    Now navigate to the newly purchased item and use it.
    If done correctly and you get a message, congrats! Your robot helper is ready!

  8. Actually, by listening to a play through on YT, I actually found out that you’re supposed to destroy the ceiling in order for one huge electricity hazard to disappear, so that you can then move on.
    If you managed to get the robot helper at lv 20, it’ll help you a lot at this level.

  9. Well, I couldn’t complete level 30 of tomb hunter, but when I got a save from my brother, I tried playing it and I found out that items which I received after completing the game wouldn’t save, and I was discouraged and eventually deleted the game.

  10. I don’t think there are any yet.
    Such a language could be made, but I’m sure this would require tons of knowledge and work.
    But there are languages that have some of the features you mentioned.
    In VBS, for example, you can form a conditional statement like
    if X =Y then

    However, the action to be done can’t be formed as a sentence.
    Lua scripting, for example, features the words begin and end to mark the beginning and end of a block of instructions, instead of the commonly used braces.
    In the actual fact, the computer can’t do as much, as you think.
    It can only:
    Create and destroy resources.
    This may include variables (like your health, number of swords) and objects (blocks of variables tied together).
    For example a skeleton, assuming it was programmed this way, may be an object.
    It needs to have the following values set in order to exist:
    health
    attack (used to damage you when it reaches you)
    X and Y coordinates, which need to dynamically change as it moves around.
    A string containing a name used when using the spy glass.
    Each object needs to be linked to a class, which lists the values an object will need and their default values, if applicable.

    Back to the main subject, the computer can also load and write resources from and to the disc, like loading sounds, images, liblaries etc and saving things like game state.
    The computer can also manipulate values by performing aritmetic operations and comparisons and act based on that, which allows it to, for example, play the alarm or heavy breathing sound when your hp falls below 20 or 20% of max hp.
    All of those operations are in a binary form which can’t be read by a human.
    It’s why this language is referred to by as the processor language.
    To even start creating a programming language, you would need to know the processor language at least at 95%, I think.

  13. Nope, but I’d like to be in the future if I can learn something much more professional, than bgt.
    I found this out, because someone created a topic on the forum called "Why is BGT flagged as a virus" and one of the replies explained everything.
    But indeed, based on what I already know, BGT’ s main function which needs to be present in every BGT script is a modified version of the same concept as in C++.
    The functions in general seem to be called similarly as in Java scripting.
    So yeah, I believe BGT just mixes some features from other programming languages that vere available at the time of its creation.
    I think that if the developer of BGT didn’t get scared of all the false positives reports by antivirusses and made the necessary steps to submit BGT as an official programming language and then of course updated it regularly, BGT would probably become the easiest programming language in the world, especially when it comes to programming audio games.
    I recently started noticing that some certain functions like clipboard copying actually stopped working properly on my windows 11 machine.

  15. Essentially, Philip Bennefal of Blastbay studios didn’t submit BGT as an official language.
    Softwares like this, based on instructions that were previously written as a source code, try identifying the programming language the program was written in.
    Since BGT mixes elements from many languages, the antivirusses get confused and just flag the BGT products.
    Those that weren’t flagged, or not immediately were flagged, probably were lucky enough to not have instructions from many languages, so the antivirus could, incorrectly but still, identify the programming language.
    That’s how this works.

  17. I think that, when abandoning BGT, blastbay studios should have forced the devs of BGT games to open-source them.
    The antivirusses never flag bgt source files, so that would solve the problems with adding folders to exclusions.
    But since they didn’t do that, we now have titles like manamon and crazy party which are still written in BGT, instead of a professional programming language like C++.
    Btw.
    BGT products are probably being flagged, since this language is a mixture of many others.
    Certainly C++, angel script and probably even some elements from Java.

  20. This eventually happens to almost all BGT games.
    The best work around this is to create the folder named for example BGT and then put all BGT games in that directory.
    After that, you need to add this folder to the exclusions from scanning.
    If you use win 10 or 11, you need to open the windows security, choose virus and threat protection and from here find a way to add a folder to the exclusions.
    This should then make the BGT games playable without problems.

  21. Well, was Perilous Hearts not coded in BGT? It’s also weird that this game has never been reported as a security threat by Windows Defender on my computer.

  22. I think this shows how lazy Mason is.
    Even Yukio Nozava- developer of BK3 knew how to make it so that the up arrow can be used both to jump and climb up trees or ladders.
    BK3 is coded in HSP, but I think that this also could be coded in BGT, since TH is coded in that language.
    You re right- up arrow should be used both to jump and climb, where as space to use the weapon selected with the number row.
    This is how it works in most platforming side scrollers like BK3.

  23. Hey, why can’t we jump with up arrow? I’m quite used to that. Well, thanks for the tip anyway. My complaint about being unable to jump with up arrow might sound somewhat off-topic but it still does force me to focus on pressing space rather than up arrow.

  24. Ok, no problem, just remember that you mustn’t let the beep reach exactly the center of the stereo field, else you’ll fall into the hazard.
    It must be very close to you, but not exactly at the center.
    Also if you jump too early, you may not reach the second conveyor belt and as a result you’ll die as well.
    There are two of them with a hole in between just like in the tutorial.

  26. Well, you need to jump when the beep is very close to you.
    You can also, when you think this is the case, jump and hold ctrl+arrow instead only of the arrow key to try moving a little faster in the air.
    Hint: you’ll fall into the river at the end.

  28. Thing is, I can say my reflexes are good enough to let me survive but I haven’t been able to figure out when to jump exactly. The tutorial didn’t help much in that regard.

  30. They may be hard to master, but there aren’t many of them.
    I’m sure you’ll pass them if you’re patient enough.
    This is actually training of your reflexes.

  34. I would be, to say the least, surprised if you were from NS studios and knew nothing about the game.
    However, that would then mean that it’s much harder to distinguish what’s true and what’s false about Mason, than I originally thought.

    So, did you make any progress in TH yet?

  36. Darkflier Productions, to be exact.
    One of the games (don’t remember which one at the moment) was made by darkflier productions, but that company is believed to be Mason himself hiding under a different name.

  38. Yeah.
    According even to the title of the game window when you run it, Tomb hunter has been created by Mason Armstrong (known under many other names like Masonasons and, probably, darkflier) and NS studios.

  40. Random thought- untill I copied your nick to notepad and examined it character by character, I thought you were from NS studios.
    But now I know your nick is enes, rather than ns.
    But regardless of that, enjoy the game if you downloaded it already.

  43. If I usually sleep at, say, 11 PM and had to stay awake that day for one or two mre hours, then I gradually become less and less sleepy and then have much more difficulty sleeping even if I go to bed afterwards.

  44. I am watching some stuf in youtube or when i really need to fall asleep i am, well you think that i will say counting sheeps, no, counting cups of coffee 😀 sometimes, or just trying to don’t think about anything and while i am thinking that i shouldn’t think i am falling asleep

  47. In my case, this most commonly means that either a game or a singer completely absorbed me.
    This weekend, I was playing the game Tomb hunter which recently has been released as free ware.
    Knowing that it’s buggy at certain places or circumstances, including the saving feature on certain levels, I wanted to beat it without switching off the PC, no matter how long this would take.
    However, there were some nightmare levels, such as underwater level 27 where weapons couldn’t be used for obvious reasons and there were sharks and ghosts that could kill you instantly if you got in their way, as well as level 29 which begins at an unstable platform you need to cross before it completely disappears and after that, there were 10 traps that needed to be unlocked so that then each of the ten bears could find "their" trap.
    However, doing so, especially unlocking the first few traps was insanely difficult, since each bear that was still free could walk around the entire territory with traps and so if you didn’t time your jumps perfectly, you would hit either the bear that was still free or the one previously trapped.
    Both of these cases of course meant instant death.
    And finally the final level- 30.
    This wasn’t a nightmare like the previously mentioned levels, but I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do until I finally watched the beginning of a play through that level on sunday afternoon and I figured the rest out alone and completed the game that day.
    Although the game has bugs and it’s exactly the same every time you play, I can still recommend it, since this is something more than a side scroller (a type of game where you just need to walk left or right), but also you shouldn’t just kill whatever you find, but you’ll be expected to try avoiding enemies, especially on the first levels.
    Some particular things also test your reflexes in that game.
    Feel free to contact me if you would like to try it out.
