Wow that is amazing. Great job! Can't wait!

Yes, this is great.  we've turned Omnimaga into a friendly, helpful community.

Was it not already?

Ok. So I decided to completely do a rewrite of my Battle Ship program because I thought it was to big and just wasn't satisfied with it. I was also to lazy to just go back and rework the code to work. But anywho, to the program.

I did succeed in making this one smaller by about 62 bytes while still making it better than the previous version (it stands at 990 bytes). It should work perfectly now but if anyone discovers a bug please let me know.

[2ND] - It is the enter button.
[ALPHA] - When setting the maps this is what flips it between vertical and horizontal movement.
[ENTER] - Used to exit the Pause after turns.

This version fixes the previous bugs that I knew about. Like I said before if you find one just tell me and I'll try to fix it.

I can't think of much else to say so I'll let you guys to it. Have fun and enjoy.

Here is the source code in case anyone else can find optimizations. I'm very tired so there is a chance I missed something.

And thanks.

Happy Birthday, Builder!

Edit:
By the way, wouldn't that be more accurately the Paul McCartney Birthday Song

I added this to the Tutorial thread.

Thank ya.

Did you mean to say it draws to the back-buffer? Because I thought you said it doesn't use the back-buffer

That's kinda what I thought at first too, or at least in some kind of shape
