Ok so it's official: I'm picking this up as a side project.
A question for those who've played it: how does it handle collisions with the walls floor etc?  ie when it hits the side of the platform does it bounce or just kind of stick?

Edit July 2013: ...and this didn't really go anywhere. For an scb project that actually got presentable, see http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/452/45238.html

I meant how "gSHUMP" was supposedly my first rating ever, even before the old post & critique thread

So what exactly is the object of this game?  I tried googling it but it seems like everything under the sun is blocked at this school so yeah

This is a pretty cool feature, it lets you know (in most cases) what kind of stuff to avoid doing in the future.
Is there a way to access it from Profile btw?

Hm I could pick this up as a side project.  Aside from already having the SHMUP theory down (and re-made one of the weapons in about 20 minutes for Essence ), I'd be able to get some practice in with enemies and such for the larger project

I've been playing around a bit.  Before, the screen shake was this one-frame thing that depended on which direction the blast is "pushing" or something...the exploding bullet's velocity anyway.
I recently changed this, now it shakes randomly for a number of frames. now the explosions add on to each other, prolonging the shaking and making it pretty intense
The actual explosions are still the same tho.
(btw, it's just a remnant from debugging but [^] screws around with the shaking, fun stuff)

In other news I got the Minigun (from this) working like a charm, it's not the most accurate in terms of emulation (ie the screen shakes when it lands, not when fired) but it's still fun to screw around with

Now, any bullet, fireball or grenade or whatever that hits the player disappears and, if appropriate, explodes.

Also some misc sort-of optimizations, so it might run a bit faster than before?  Still 6mHz btw.

These controls have been in since the last version but yeah.

...
I think it's the same level as before so yeah, just scroll up a bit to get it
Or click this hotlink thingy

Edit: there's a bug in the screenie that's been fixed since, see who can find it
Edit2: and it's not the phantom line wabbit keeps putting in my screenies it was the actual code

I'm pretty sure it's like that, just have the second line of hex under/part of the first one.

...
Ok, I was optimizing last night and wrote down a bunch of Q's as I went.

Do the ?/?? conditionals save space in the executable in relation to conventional If loops?  How about speed?

Can they be nested?  like B?(A++5?-1→A),→A works, nvm that

Which is faster: If (commonly true) / If (sparsely true) ?

So it's optimized to put the constants at the end...what if it's like L2+2?  Would a different order influence anything?

And yes I was actually googling that..
