As the title says, i m looking for anyone who can provide me the structure of Laserix 2 levels. The best way would probably be via picture (can be low resolution, i just need the level structure).

I saw it years ago but never got it myself and want to recreate the game.

I found the creators page: http://degling.free.fr/LASERIX/indexUK.html (Take the screenshots there as what i'm looking for.)

but the files don't work for me and I am unable to extract the level structure from it.

Google searches for videos or pictures are also very frustrating, as the term is to general. I was able to find some internet archive pages, but they couldn't solve my issue as well.

I only found screenshots of level 01, 02, 13, 20, 25, 37 and 42. So if anybody has some more or maybe even the complete collection, i'm highly interested in it. (I'm no interested in Laserix 3 or 4 because as far as i understand, they have different levels, but feel free to mention, if you have them as well and if you can recommend them)

For the mods: Hope this category is right, feel free to move me. i am looking for players of that old game (2006) and wanted to reach a wide audience.

If your number look a bit odd, that is because you seem not to have the correct font installed.

1. search for "Rubik .ttf" and download the font file
   
   1. f.e. from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Rubik
2. right click the file and click on install
   
   1. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-a-font-b7c5f17c-4426-4b53-967f-45...

Implemented and waiting for release

• Mainversion changed some fundamental of the game, like framework
• Subversion extend current implementations on a small Level
• Buildversion is mainly for bug fixes and minor quality of live changes

Feature Requests in general are welcome.

i am a console player, so i might be not aware of certain standards for pc games. So feel free to point out obvious missing things.

Also i want to highlight, that there is no guarantee, that your request will be implemented. As you can see in the tech stack, i don't use a game engine, hence i have to program most things myself. So for some requests the overhead/cost might be to high for me. And again the disclaimer, that this is just a hobby for me. I will not have always time and implementations can take months before released.

1. Check the roadmap and other feature requests, if it is already covered somewhere else
   1. if that is the case, please use the voting function to give it more weight
      1. feel also free to add a comment there, with your further details or own reasoning
2. If there is no fitting thread, please open a new topic
   1. Please provide a clear description of what you want
   2. Please also provide the reason behind it
      1. for some requests it will be clear, but for some it might be not so obvious

Everyone hates Bugs, but there will be always some.

What a developer hates even more is, when somebody just says "it doesn't work"

So if you want me to fix your bug, please provide as much information as possible. In the best case a list, how you can reproduce the bug 100% of the time.

Sadly there are some bugs, which can not be reproduced all the time, then it is more important, that you give as much details as possible. As the game runs not alone on your computer, please make sure in such cases, that the cause are not resources or other programs.

I will try my best to fix bugs ASAP, but please keep in mind, that this is just a hobby for me and i have sometimes simply no time to touch the code. Thanks for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.

All the GPU logic uses OpenCL. Please check if your GPU supports it,  maybe a driver update is needed.

You can use the following to check your GPU:

1.  open https://developer.nvidia.com/opencl
   
2. download and execute OpenCL Device Query

You can also check the gpu directory in case, you can select the gpu but errors are thrown:

1. Click on Settings > Open save place
   
2. Navigate into the gpu folder
3. all files should have a size, else something went wrong during compiling

In case your game wont start, i will give you the list of the used libraries and the framework. Try to check with that information, if you have everything

• .NET Framework 4.8
  • should be automatically installed through the setup.exe in the zip
  • check if your system is compatible https://learn.microsoft.com/en-en/dotnet/framework/get-started/system-requiremen...
    
    • i only have win10 available currently, so other windows versions are untested
• Libraries
  • gdi32.dll
  • kernel32.dll
  • User32.dll
  • OpenCl.dll
  • all libraries should be under C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64

How to create your own translation

2. Navigate into the translations folder
3. Copy the translation.eng.xml file to a place of your liking
4. Open translation.eng.xml in a editor of your choice

   1. the word Custom in "<name>Custom</name>" is the name that will be shown in the program
6. Rename the file to something unique, but keep the name pattern.
   1. the middle part is used by the program to determine the used setting, so make sure it stays unique with other designs
