I've been applying some changes to speed up the game, and I say that the results are quite noticeable!  So I'll use this as the precursor to level 4 screenshots.  This means game-saving progress won't be until later

Incidentally, it's not over yet, I have some things left to hopefully increase speed even more

Awesome. I really can't wait to see what it will look like now. :)

How'd you do it?

1. Rather than stretching each wall and object one at a time (which is how I achieve full screen), I'm now drawing each wall and object normal size and then stretching the final result, which is much faster.  Something I should have thought of before ;D
2. I'm working on using the crystal timers to execute @ 120 T-States of instructions everytime a byte of data is copied to the screen

I love optimizations like that. It's satisfying to delete a big chunk of code to replace it with a few lines.

I remember when I had a 300 byte program to display a 15x15 boolean matrix on the homescreen.
I posted it on typewith.me, shared the link on omomirc, and fifteen minutes later it was five lines long.
And it worked.
Better than the original.

I'm ready to start work on level 4.  With level 4, the next screenshot will demonstrate my testing with black enemies and gray objects to help a player distinguish between one or the other.

Here's a teaser, showing how things are running faster now.  Firefox for best results (Sadly the game is still slow when there's 10 objects in the room :P)

I haven't been lazy!  But to keep you guys entertained, here's a snippet of the rocket launcher, which I've been working on (and am still working on).  I was tempted to program rockets as objects that could move around the map, but in the end I decided to keep things simple.

By the way, the rocket launcher is probably going to be a little more unforgiving than it is in DOOM.  Meaning, you have to be pretty far away to avoid being hurt.  However, you will less likely injure yourself from a close target than you will from a closER target.

Um, so it doesn't fire a rocket, just an invisible explody beam?

No splosions? :( No actual rockets? :( Hard to use? :(

It's supposed to represent a rocket.  The imagination can do wonders ;D

Too late D:

But yeah, another awesome game I can't wait to try. As a suggestion, could the rocket launcher be somehow "flattened" a bit more? IMHO it seems like it's pointing upwards in that screenshot.
