Remember, I am only thinking about adding sound. The program I have right now is fairly slow for what it can do, so adding sound will only make it laggier. Right now I am trying to figure out some creative way to make it so my patterns don't have a big gap in between them. Then that would make the program a lot better. Come on, RedHat, think!  :-\

Not entirely right. Having an actual soundchip is just like having hardware graphics acceleration. It lowers the CPU load allowing it to do it's thing faster. The only cost of adding sound via an external RS232 soundchip is sending bytes over the UART, which is almost meaningless for your game. ;)

Shhh, shhh...

That is true, but I don't want to exactly go buy some hardware right now ;)

I do need to figure out this problem, however...

edit: Okay, I think I got this, hopefully it doesn't explode in my face. I made a backup just in case  <_<

Well, when the time comes, it's just an Arduino which is real cheap (prolly around $20). ;)

And yeah cross fingers so your fix works. :D

Mom why did you take my CX away ?

Could see myself one day saying this to my mom.
Anyway, it is sort of... going as planned. I got some stuff down, but the program just doens't want to get rid of that gap! :'(

Lol! Such wow.

Well, I just have to make the code that moves all the numbers in an array to the very right and BAM I think that the code I implemented will work. I am actually very happy that this topic was brought up again, I was afraid it was dying because I haven't had time to update it!

We don't want this project to die :)
If you like my work: why not give me an internet?

YES! IT'S WORKING! Okay, now I have to polish up a few patterns, and release a quick preview on YouTube. Guys and gals, this is going to be great (dances). Oh, and I stopped working on it a couple of hours ago because I went to the movies to see catching fire, but I'll stay on topic for now.

Here are some videos for you people:

That's so cool! Now imagine the sound track IS 'de facto' included. Wouldn't that be just amazing? (Nice soundtrack merge, btw).
Anyway, we keep waiting here for the next release. Keep it up! ;)
