Due to a freak accident in moving from my old StarMax to my new Sage DV+, there will be no further updates of Basic Nothingness.

I had been working on three levels (albeit it slowly enough to be deemed as "stalled"). However, all my unmoved property on the old computer was disposed of without permission...including said file. I do NOT want to do all that work over again...therefore I shall halt here with the four levels already presented to the public.

Furthermore, I find that the time for innovation has passed. I have achieved several milestones: the first level file ever, the most levels in existence (although this streak was broken months ago, I'm sure; Dr Tall's 60-plus level file is promising, as is OBW). BN has served its purpose in providing R&D; for the public. It is now a simplistic level file with unique ideas, but implemented with non-unique methods. With such advanced technology as sprite modification, as crude a stage as it is in right now, promises more than I can keep up with.

Sorry.

It was broken by Andrew's World 0.1 which had 6 levels. (Is it still the biggest?)
Now the race is between OBW and Dr Tall's world.

Well, I, for one, am sorry to hear about all your work gone for naught. I enjoyed Basic Nothingness and was looking forward to levels beyond "Mr. Mean Man..."

------------------

I remember the excitement I felt when I first played Basic Nothingness. Your levels were an inspiration to us all. I hope someday you will continue the Basic Nothingness levels. Also, I have decided to begin Backing-up my files.

Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.

Thank you. When I've burned myself out with other projects, I might return to making interesting new levels. But that will be awhile off. In the meantime, I hope to get similar inspiration from the brilliant levels in production.

Okay...I'm not going to force you to keep on working on it or anything...but hey you lost the file big deal. There's something called the internet where you download files. In fact, I believe you uploaded (the reverse reastion of downloading) your original file...so it's saved...and you can continue working on it without having to do a lot of it over.

Now after reading this post... spamguy will do one of the two things:
(list=1)
()Well slap me silly! I just downloaded it again. Yippie!
()No you dope. I did a lot of work to the file...but didn't upload the updated version.
(/list=a)

PS: If it's #2, you don't really have to reply.

There were about three new levels on that file. One was almost done. Did I mention the custom music?

The Beta you sent me had a 5th level that was partially done...
I still have the file.

It's definitely a start, although working out the many kinks that were already there will take time if I decide to continue building. Please send it to me. Thank you!!

Maybe for $15, or... ack! ack! ack!
Otherwise, it will be used in the OBW Project.

Just kidding!
I will send it, but I won't be able to for a few days. (It's on another mac)
