Does that lowercase "t" have an extra pixel?

Yes. That was intentional and is part of the font.

Well, I've got a little bit of some of the other stuff done. Can't save replay files yet, but at least there will be a placeholder for them. Observe.

Oh, yeah. And an included easter egg in the naming screen.

I don't think you need a cursor to go through the letters. If you choose a letter, the cursor automatically jumps one to the right. Like in most name input screen in Gameboy games or like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/bublnsqeek/tutorials/nameinput.gif :) .

I would prefer a cursor in the name, especially since the name input screen will be automatically filled out with the name you used the last time (Or "Nameless" if you're starting fresh with a new install). If something is already in the field, it might take more thought than strictly necessary to figure out where you are.

Also, whoever said it on IRC, I stand corrected. The behavior of the DEL key, at least in Perfect Cherry Blossom, is to move the cursor back and then remove the character at that position. The cursor also didn't wrap, so I might want to go ahead and fix that behavior. Also, maybe I ought to have something like an "End" option like in most games to exit out of the name select screen, because I'm not sure it's evident that the "go back" key (MODE) will allow you to exit and still accept the changes made.

Minor progress being made with the project. Reworked the player bullet routines to be easier to work with, so geekboy can work more on Nanami's shot type. I'm finally working on the resource handler routines. Might tweak the idea around to support internal garbage collection or something fancy like that. The thing is already getting pretty fancy.

* Matrefeytontias and IkarugaX pokes Iambian and Geekboy1011

I like to think of IkarugaX as CaDan's little brother since that's CaDan which made me want to create it, it would be too bad if only one of the two came to fruitition ...

geekboy got me to work on this thing once again. It's still a monster that needs much more TLC than it's been given recently.

Because CaDan has been on such a long hiatus, I've completely forgotten what I've been working on and it's quite a nice thing to rummage through stacks of notebook paper trying to figure out what the last thing was.

As it turns out, it was a replacement garbage collector for the resource handler routines (went with that instead of script-managed memory) and a really fancy set of routines for scripted enemy movement. Absolutely none of which are in the codebase yet. But judging from the number of "Quality Assurance Dragons" drawn on the pages, I may have gone off the deep end more than once writing it.

Note: Geekboy wants a picture of said Quality Assurance Dragon(s)
EDIT: QAD attached.
