Yep, sure can be slow..

Poor Mum!

My first couple of test runs with WASM showed that, in general, it actually slows things down.

Not very often I code enough skill into a game to bother including a top tip!

NES, SMS and Atari have been added to JSE's list of available "UsePalette" colour palettes.

Hmmm..

Yesterday, Pakz suggested that more off-buffer image functionality might be nice.

Got all wrapped up in the odd Slowness, and couldn't get back out!

A couple of basic shapes have been added to the engine.

I tried adding a bunch of effects into the engine, yesterday, but.. Yikes!!

OK, Newsletter's ready to go. ALChoon was done last night.

.. or rather, doesn't do anything!

Got another nice increase in speed, this morning.

More subtle optimising again, yesterday.

As I look at the ToDo list, I realise something.. .. I've not tackled any of these for a good while..

Discovered the oddest thing, yesterday.

Yesterday I started to look into why Michael Fernie's Pop The Lock lock drawing was so slow.

I worked on the "Backbuffer" stuff yesterday. Things didn't go to plan.

Spent a couple of hours in the morning trying to optimise JSE a little more.

I posted the first version of JSE : Futrino Emissions over on SoCoder, yesterday. The most obvious thing to note.. .. I definitely need to optimise things!

I had a bit of a "No Dev, Please!" day, yesterday.

Yesterday I started to think about doing a "proper" game with JSE.

Michael Fernie requested this feature last night, and I was only too happy to oblige. After all, it gave me something to do, today, other than more evil GUI work.. Bah, humbug!!

Added a few basic effects for the engine, today.

I've opted to add a couple of new items to the ToDo list.
