Thanks.

That's what it is supposed to do but I messed up something I guess. Launching it with radian mode is funny ^^

I don't really know why. My guess is that TICKS could be less accurate on sim than on real hardware but that's really just a guess.
Anyway, as multiple keystrokes is not possible on simulator, playing it would be a pain even if it worked fine...

Everything that move is based upon last frame render time, thus intensive use of TICKS. So game speed is stable even in case of framerate variations.

I noticed that the virtual calc is very CPU intensive and works better on a freshly booted Windows. Then performances drop significantly over time.

Edit

I wonder if it could explain why sometimes the jump key isn't very responsive (eg if you don't press Enter long enough).

I didn't notice that. You mean on sim right ? Be aware that you are limited to 5 jumps per run now (forgot that in changelog, or was it previous version already ? nevermind).

Btw I don't know if that is still progressing right now, but I found a bug: When you use Enter during the game to jump, sometimes the Finish/Time screen doesn't appear. It skips directly to the title screen. It's more when jumping late into the game though, so I guess it's due to sensitive key detection or quick key repeat being enabled.

Wow that looks quite nice actually. I wonder if adding some borders around sprites and the track sides would look better?

Since saving/loading doesn't work, I assume this edits the current track, right?  Or is it just to show how it progressed so far?

Also, if we accidentally recompile the game code, will our custom tracks be deleted like highscores?

EDIT: Btw I just tried this now and when I restart the game after creating a new track, it says Invalid Input. Same thing with the editor. I have to reboot to fix them and then it brings back the original track.

AAah ok thanks for the tip.

On a side note, did you use some tutorial for the mode-7-like effect in the game? I am really curious how such effect can be achieved efficiently, since in the future, I might attempt games with a similar perspective, but 160x120 and larger than 5 squares wide (so that it fills the entire screen width) and with the camera following you rather than staying centered. One idea I had in mind was Hyperzone, some 3D-like clone of Supersonic Ball or maybe a racing game like Mario Kart/F-Zero, but with no rotation (unless it can be done at similar speed)
