Thanks! :) Hmm, I'd prefer not to make the code available because this is by far the worst code I've ever written. At the time I wrote this game, I was still pretty new to game programming and hadn't really developed a good style. Also, at one point I had to switch the game from being multi- to single-threaded. Unfortunately, that meant tearing up huge chunks of the game and creating a mess in general. Ideally, I should have just rewritten the whole thing from the ground up, but I didn't want to spend too much time on it because I wanted to program other things.

the game is really nice and non trivial. how about saving the progress?
i'm about to make something like that and i'm interested what time did you spend to create this game?

I've played this before and completed it. It was pretty faithful. I'd actually be more interested in seeing what bug fixes there were...

A buddy and myself are making up a Lolo clone ourselves. We've got some elements working out, though many others to be done. I have high hopes for the project.
