Ok I'm giving this a shot again... in xLIB now

for those who didnt knew, back in early 2005 I worked on a metroid style game called Diortem, but never finished it. It's avaliable at ticalc.org here http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/367/36789.html . 6 months later CDI worked on his own metroid game and was the first one to release a finished graphical metroid game for TI calcs and kinda inspired me for remaking diortem. However I never started working on it since then. Now I am giving it a shot.

It will be kinda a sequel to CDI's metroid game, kinda similar in some ways but it will have different maps and will use the old samus sprites made by CDI but were never used in his metroid game. As for the bosses I only plan to have kraid for now, the problem is that the old Diortem game needs to be entirely rewritten, and on top of that it used Omnicalc so I need to convert everything to xLIB. >.<

Right now I have the walking physics done, but it run at 2 fps, which is kinda slower than the original diortem. The reason why it run slower is because I added a lot more physics, as you can see in this screenshot:



So I might need help optimizing it a bit. Here is the code. If you find any stuff I could optimise for speed (not for size) let me know

Awesome Kevin! I will definitely keep an eye on this

Splendid! (I always wanted to say that )
I never played Diortem, but I did CDI's Metroid; until the room with the glitch, I never decided to redownload it.

I would help with optimizing, but I only do size, and I'm not very good at that either.

Well now with xLIB getkey routine I got it to jump much more easier. You can jump while walking and you can even jump in diagonal when not walking because the key routine allow multiple arrow keypresses

Its much more easier to jump off the cliff now

I dunno what other method I could use tho, basically that one is more flexible for movements
