Sand Traps is an original multiplayer puzzle/platform game for Wii homebrew..

User guide

The objective of the game is to tilt the board using your Wiimote, in order to guide the sand towards the green exit. In each level you need to save a certain percentage of the sand. If the sand falls out of the board it is lost. If the sand touches the red stone it is also lost.

In some levels you can add new stone, and in some levels you can also remove it again so you can reuse it elsewhere.

Creating your own levels

The game will look for level information in the folder on the SD card called /apps/sandtraps/levels/. If you look in the folders in here you can see that each level is based on a BMP graphics file and on a text file.

The game does not report errors in case there is something wrong with the level information - it just exits without warnings. This might be improved later on.

• For the BMP graphics file it is important that in the same color format as the existing levels, and that you only use the same color indices as in these levels. If you use any other colors the game will exit. The size must be 320 * 320 pixels. Use GIMP to save the image if you experience problems.
• For the text files it is important that you at least have a line break where the comments are. You don't have to keep the comments themselves, but there must at least still be the line break where the comments where.
• The levels must have consecutive numbers and the first level must have number 1.
