Right, this eliminates the need to finish the level to save the game. (one of the things that kind of irked me with Corridor 99, you had to sacrafice a life and finish a level to save your game. But the game was very well done.)

Now you can save wherever you are. :)smile.gif

I hated how in old NES games like metroid and zelda you had to kill yourself to save. And i hated even more how in most RPGs it can take hours before reaching next save point sometimes, it's annoying when u gtg, especially kids who have an hour limit per day to play video games because of overprotective parents. Hence why in most of my RPGs you can save anywhere

Well, after several weeks of relative inactivity in this thread, I have something to post. I did a rigorous walk through of Doom89, and have made some pretty good optimizations, and the best news is that I have gained several frames per second in speed and lost several bytes of memory consumption. I estimate it runs 3-4 perhaps even 5 frames per second faster. Which is really great, because it makes playing the game much more fun. :)smile.gif

Also I revamped the way the game used to exit when you quit, and condensed all the code for that down to one function which runs any necessary functions to clean up after itself based on need, and it displays any number of varying error messages for any particular types of errors. Which is a great improvement over what used to happen if you forgot a texture file or something. It used to just keep on going and you just saw scrambles for the images it didn't have. And if you were really unlucky it gave you an address error. But none of that happens now. :)smile.gif

I am still waiting for beta testing to be complete before I move on to submitting it to ticalc.org and other sites. (and yes, I will upload it here, I don't want to leave good olde Omni out of the loop :Dbiggrin.gif )

So until that is done, and I fix any potential problems that may come up, you'll just have to do what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks. Work on other projects. Occasionally make a cameo appearance in the Real World. And wait...

Thanks! :)smile.gif And, no, the project isn't dead, it's just in beta testing right now. Once I finish optimizations and get it thouroughly tested, then it'll be ready for release.  :Dbiggrin.gif

Doom89 Version 1.0 is out today! It has all the features I planned for it (and one I didn't plan on, i'll let you see for yourself in the readme) and it took me nearly 9 months to complete. So I hope you have as much fun playing it as I had making it.

Here's a screeny and the link.

I've uploaded it to ticalc, but that will take a few days, so I gave you a link here. :)smile.gif
