Is there a sample version that we can test with it? I wonder if you can increase the speed more.

Before today, I wasn't too sure if I would continue this project because I couldn't get the shadow effect to run at a fast enough speed to merit making any kind of game based on the effect.
However, with the faster line commands plus drawing lines to backbuffer, I could actually increase the speed even more (I hope)
Using the shadow effect is definitely feasible now, so I'll be resuming this project.
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Have you found even more speed optimizations right now?

Ah, well, not yet.  After Christmas is always a bit busy (running around, cleaning, using up gift cards, etc), so I'll probably resume coding this evening.

Wow thats an awesome increase in speed! Is it running in 6Mgz or 15Mgz now?

I think it's still good, though. I am really curious how the speed will increase when you change the things you planned to change, though.

Its an awesome increase :D I also had an idea.  Might it be possible to have a beam of light (possibly 90 degrees) instead of a full circle?  This would drastically reduce the amount of raycasting needed, and also might be used as a further game element.

You mean like in Nightmare? That might actually be more realistic, actually, since normally you can't even see behind you.
