I thought shifting was pretty fast?  Either way, i think its faster than drawing 96+ sprites :)

Well, I'm still working on the details.  I actually have the proposed engine seperate from the actual engine, and the actual engine redraws the entire map when it changes.

Okay, with my current contest entry, it is really cool, bursting with graphical awesomeness, and is quite fun to play... if it wasn't so fricken slow.  I know that the contest deadline is very close, but I have resurrected Advance Wars TI today, and I have about 1/4 of the progress I had when my calc's mem cleared.
So, Advance Wars TI is back on track, folks, and it already looks better than ever, with a pretty title screen this time.

Thanks.  For the record, the game I was working on for the contest was called Fuel, and it is a 60's style dogfight game, full of pretty esplosions and grayscale.  Only problem is the speed becomes unbearable as massive amounts of bullets flood the screen, and the entire point of the game was to have massive amounts of bullets flood the screen.

Nice to see this is back on track. Keep your projects away from your parents, though.

Also, I hope your contest entry is finished too, despite the slowdowns. I hope you can find a solution x.x

Don't worry, my Pre-Calc teacher doesn't pay attention, and I can code all class in there.

Aah sounds like a good deal. As long as you put school first, of course (at least the stuff you need better grades in. In my case, it was french reading comprehension and philosophy classes) :P

Ah.  By the way, I'm considering making Fuel a Cemetech exclusive game, because of the fact that I do so much Omnimaga exclusive stuff.

Aw ok, does it means you are no longer entering Omnimaga contest? It's up to you I guess, to one condition: that you remain regularly active with some projects on Omnimaga forums (to prevent some pre-2008 stuff where some staff posted elsewhere but not on Omni, even thought they were Omni staff), like KnightOS or the like.

No, my old entry, that is not fast enough to be contest-worthy, Fuel, is a Cemetech exclusive.  I'm still entering Advance Wars TI in the Omnimaga contest, and I am in no way, shape, or form abandoning Omnimaga.  I just want to show Cemetech a little more love, seeing as I have been here quite a lot.

Oh ok, I thought AWTI wasn't gonna be a contest entry anymore, due to what happened to it a while ago (Mem Clear) and your amount of projects. And I agree, since you have been around there for quite a while and didn't post much projects there. I'M glad you are sticking around, though.

Are you planning to release this in the Omni download section once finished anyway? (either staff or the new one coming soon)

Advance Wars used to be gone, but now I've decided to pick it up, since I can probably have it done by the contest deadline.

Aaah ok, good luck. I got worried the RAM clear would let you no chance. Isn't Advance Wars pretty huge or is it a more simple strategy game? I may be too used to games like Starcraft x.x

The engine is a reasonable size, I think, but the maps are what would suck up memory.
