I have two questions about the engine:

A. How does the engine react to non-square textures?
B. Is there a way to disable sprite drawing? (Having nothing in the sprite struct gives an error)

A. I'm not sure. Just scale them on the GIMP or something so that they are square.
B. Set numSprites to 0.

@fb39ca4: How's the maze going? Just wondering...
In case anyone else is wondering, this project is not dead. I'm moving off to college in a couple days, so things have been quite hectic, and I don't want to work on anything large for the next couple weeks. Maybe some smaller projects, but not the rather daunting task of converting the engine to fixed-point.
Speaking of which, does anyone know a systematic way to convert code to fixed point (integer arithmetic)?

Aaah I see. Good luck into moving to college. I hope you still have some free time to work on it on and off there :)

Yeah, I do hope I find coding time in college. Fortunately, the freshman year classes are all rather generic and fairly straightforward, and the homework seems pretty sparse (usually one problem set a week per class, and a problem set is only a few problems :))

@bwang: I finally got the map modification working, but now I have a bug in the maze generation algorithm that makes the maze unsolvable. Once that's fixed, I'll probably add a timer, then it should be done.

I hope you find some time to convert the engine to fixed point, then it would be powerful enough for a starfox-type game.

For those of you who have been looking at the Ndless SVN, a development build of Ndless 1.7 was made available to the public a few days ago. This new release re-structures the directories and makes it compatible with the new Ndless.
There are no code changes, however.

Because Ndless 1.7 is currently unstable, and we do not want end-users to download it and experience crashes.

It is in the Ndless SVN repository. You need to manually build it, and it is not compatible with the current release of gbc4nspire.

I was tempted to add it to the news but I was not sure yet. I prefered to keep it quiet until we are certain it works fine.

Does it means it works on OS 1.7 btw?
