Nick, don't forget to localize functions you use a lot. This can give a big speed gain.

thanks, but i've already done all that :)

i did a little testing, and it seems like those 12 fps is more than enough to play. i increased the speed of the cells with 2.5 and now everything is ok (they were moving at a speed between 2*10^-3 and 0.2 pixels per loop, that's why it seemed so slow)

the only thing now is that i never really thought about grayscale calcs xs the black antimatter cells are really hard to see on the dark blueish background in b/w, so i'll have to find a way to solve that. also the difference between blue and red cells is hard to see in b/w xs but that's a sorrow for later, i have to make it work first :)

The graphics are great, but on a b/w calc it's a bit too difficult. I think moving is a bit too expensive anyway.
And that it crashes most of the time if you press an arrow key is a bit annoying.

Don't get my wrong, I think this is a great game and I like it very much ;)

well, it has an error for every arrowkey press and enterkey press that does not happen in the menu part.
since i simply forgot to remove 2 lines of code (or to add about 20) it throws errors, i know about it

thanks for telling me, and thanks for the comments

With Osmos on the calculator the initial moving speed is too slow, 1px/sec or something like that. This makes it less fun as you need to click a couple of times to move in a respectable speed (and losing lots of size). It works perfect in PCspire though .. :P

hmm, i'll change that in a later version. i did not test it with PCspire, i actually never thought of that xs i just did it with the student software and my calc of course, and it was reasonable imo..

it's sad how there are two bugs in it, it's really stupid how i forgot these functions, but yeah, they will be gone in the newest version i will release :)

Nick, you definitely played too much Spore!

But it looks really cool! ;)

haha, cells with eyes :o

well, it's a totally different ganme though, the osmos i know (and cloned here) is a game on itself (an android app, but now also available as computer game)
