Yea, seems like it's drawing the two rectangles separately...seems nonduplicable. If it comes up again I'll see if I can kludge around it.

It seems to me that a simple solution to avoid problems like this would be to draw the player as a sprite, as I'm pretty sure it's just an inverted box on top of a slightly larger filled box currently. Plus, then you can change the look of the player's character so he isn't necessarily just a square. :P

Thanks for the tip. I'll do that.

I like how the menu for new game/continue is where you jump to the option :D

Even though, I prefer number based menus :)

I originally did number-based, but eventually decided "What the hell, I can knock this together in about 90 seconds, why not?" ;D

I guess it's two RectI( 's, one supposed to be on top of the other?

Ok, after I got the Bizzare Black Box Bug (henceforth abbreviated as Bx4) I changed to a sprite method. Update should go up soon.

Also, a quick explanation of my buffer use and why I don't think I can use Dispgraphr:
Code: [Select]
Repeat Q
back buffer->front buffer
do tests on front buffer
draw all situational things on front buffer
front buffer->screen
End
There's probably a way I can structure this differently, but it's eluding me at the moment...
also, Dispgraphr is kinda slow compared to a single draw.

Ah I see about the back-buffer thing. What do you have to do in the back buffer, though? I don't see anything in your code box like additional testing. Btw nice to see progress

I don't have to do anything in the back buffer, but I've tried eliminating it (and simply drawing the level every frame): the speed decrease is horrendous.

Spoiler For Offtopic:
this post marks the beginning of my post rush. I plan on hitting 250 by the end of this week. :) don't worry they'll all be productive.

Ah I see. Sorry to hear about the speed loss. Hope to see new progress soon. :)

Thats exactly the buffer use i use for PortalX ^^ And yeah the only way you would be able to free up the buffer is if you made your graphics non destructive, like have every sprite an XOR sprite so that you don't have to redraw the screen every frame.

Considered this. Will test soon.

Next update will have the sprite fix and improved logic for saving (the message comes up only when you reach the level, not when you reload).
