Made a fun little engine, yesterday, in SmileBASIC.

I've given up.. Have a Buffer.

You can now add a 3 parameter to the graphics command to make everything pixel-scaled, instead of being maths-scaled.

This week's game has barely any difficulty to it.

The obligatory set of speedups, which have been gradually implemented over the past couple of days.

1am After an hour or so asleep, my head went "Hey, I wonder if changing x-line a bit would help speed the engine up at all?"

Got another nice increase in speed, this morning.

More subtle optimising again, yesterday.

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!

OK, the shooting is in the SmileBASIC version of Futrino Emissions.

A demo from Dan.

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

Added a few basic effects for the engine, today.

Spent most of yesterday flicking through bits of code, removing sections, tweaking bits, and generally making a few things that little bit faster.

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

Since I'm faffing about with buttons, I figured a Button command might be handy.

Beep!! -=beep=-

Done a lot of faffing about, today. Apologies if you've been working around one of the many bugs. A couple of today's bug fixes were fairly major, and might've broken something you've avoided!! If it has, please do let me know what and where.

Michael's already commented on the game I posted earlier today.
