It looks nice!  I can't test it though as OpenGL stuff doesn't currently run on this system.

Thanks, Schranz0r, for testing. I've updated the file and it should be okay now.  ;/

Kuron, hopefully I will get in on Mac and other platforms working soon. ;)

Very nice, I started the first level with loosing a pad, then I did 20 levels in a row and no streak, do you loose the streak until you restart the game again?

Cheers codegit and thanks for trying it out Moru.  :booze:

Streaks can only be earned with a full stack of pads (no lost pads). This was implemented at the later stage for achievements in OpenFeint; which is something like for levels streaks: eg. level 1 for 5-10 points,2,3,4,5,10,30,50,70,80 up to level 90 for 250-500 (1000 total) achievement points. There is old code for local and online high-score table system. Can I use it on the glbasic online hiscore system?  :S

Is the system pointer supposed to be there by the way? You can turn it off with SYSTEMPOINTER FALSE. Since you call MOUSESTATE already, it should disappear then but still give you mouse coordinates.

Cool. I just played it for the first time. Couldn´t sleep anymore. It reminds a bit of "bit.trip beat", which is a great game. Just the choreography (compared to BTB`s awesome sinus waves) and the graphics are less perfect. One thing is mocking me a bit. It´s that you can catch the gems with the sides of the stack. Makes it pretty easy. But still a good game!
