hey guys, here is v1.1 of space dash (my contest entry, only with now most of the bugs fixed )

I need a little help with a planned 1.2 though, so I posted this poll; I need to make sure the difficulty curve is adjusted right, so please input!

Also, I need help with the last bug that I deem important enough to need fixing: when your ship passes through the background stars, they disappear. Here's what my code looks like right now: [0000000000000000]->Pic0
[black part of ship]->Pic1A
[gray part of ship]->Pic1B
...
Repeat Q
Pt-Off(X,Y,Pic0
Pt-Off(X,Y,Pic0)r
...
Horizontal -
Horizontal -
Horizontal -r
...
Pt-On(X,Y,Pic1A
Pt-On(X,Y,Pic1B)r
DispGraphr
EndI can't figure out any way to do this without changing everything around....

For those of you that haven't seen this game in the Axe Contest thread, there's a screenie attached.

Bugs Fixed since Contest Release:
random death upon starting game
screen vomit for split seconds between rounds (thanks, shmibs)
spikes/other non-explodable objects cannot be exploded by bombarding them with lasers anymore

SPACED is the nostub executable, SPACED2 is a MirageOS executable

edit: gif runs a little slow in chrome, btw

yeah, it does take a while to get through all the levels. however, ive done it because i mastered the art of gun-mining(this might be another bug you deem worth fixing, but i personally see it as a feature)

Lol, the gun mining bug has been fixed.
Also, I've changed the scoring in 1.2 to go at 1 point per pixel scroll (before it was 1/2 point) so that scores can actually make use of the full 2 bytes allocated to them

Yes, they do. I wasn't very clear: i just thought, scores seem to top out under 10k (my personal best is 8k on the old scoring system), but scores can go all the way up to 65535. So I thought, why not 'spread out' the scores a little bit, so they can go higher and make use of the full 5 digits that they could take up.

I highly doubt anyone will make it over 65k lol. Even on an older version I was playtesting where there were only the level 1 obstaclesets for the whole game I only got to around 14000.

I really need to try this when I get some time.

Cool to see it released! Gonna try this version after I tried the contest one

Thanks
