So you don't handle those different LCDs differently? Using the monochrome LCD in 16bpp mode like a color one looks awful.

yeah well you could avoid these useless comments. I do that because it's faster since you're not required to test if the screens are different. And the problem right now is that it's 3 times slower on the color calcs than on the monochrome calcs, so using the monochrome LCD in 16 bpp mode is apparently a good idea.

I've run a few tests and I'm fairly sure it's n2DLibs sprite drawing function.

I already sent you a binary where no sprites were drawn, and you told me the speed was the same.

I already did test IkarugaX for you, and the time-to-scroll-sprite-over-screen time is almost the same, namely 06:55 seconds. When I take away the fullscreen pic on the background, it's suddenly three times as fast: 01:91 seconds.

*nKaruga

Well that's kinda strange because that's supposed to be super-fast, as it's barely slower than just clearing the screen - except if accessing arrays is really that slow.

Well matref and pierrot already tried to that but for some reason it was slow too -.-

Mh, I never tested bit 2 of the LCD driver. I'll try that.

Nope, nspire_emu tells me the game is equally fast on both screen types.

So here you go : bug-free version, with a nice title screen and menu, improved map selection and all
Although the main menu proposes a "load game" option, this isn't implemented yet, and will just send you to the map selection screen.

Readme included

The system that lets you use the USB port hasn't been written in Axe, I guarantee it.

Oh hey, welcome on Omnimaga I guess I'll be using those explosion sprites for the cel-shaded spriteset and pierrotdu18's for the depth one.

Oh shit, I forgot to comment #define DEBUG_NKARUGA -_-

Post updated, download it again to have the version where there's no sleep(3)

I would prefer actual explosion sprites

Also, you were day-dreaming of it without daring mentioning it, but here it is ... scrolling background awesomeness !



As I said, you'll be able to turn it off in the final game, for speed and/or monochrome screen issues

This is possible because I noticed that memcpy could be made 4 times faster in the context of nKaruga because I can refresh the buffer by moving unsigned ints (4 bytes at a time) instead of char (1 bytes at a time, what does memcpy). So the speed loss is even hardly noticeable !

DL attached so you can test by yourself I would appreciate if someone with a color Nspire could tell me what the speed looks like (remember Nover too). It's now much larger because of the background of course.

Don't even try to test on monochrome Nspires though. You can't see shit with that on, I'll soon add a button to toogle bg on/off.

EDIT : updated the attachment to not contain emulator debug commands

Yup it is awesome work !
