Mhmm, something I thought about was maybe allowing for different speeds for the backgrounds, which would be defined per level basis. There may even be static backgrounds. I'll have to see how hard it is to implement, though. I'll have to experiment with modulus and the like. For now I'll give 4x slower a try, though to see if it looks better.

Thanks for the feedback

I just tried and it's amazing ^^

Btw now each level can now have their own parralax scrolling speed. It can be set from 1 to 255. 2 is what it was set at by default. At 255 it will scroll every 255 pixels while at 1, there is no parralax scrolling at all (both bg and foreground scrolls at the same speed). I am scared of trying 0, tho...

Axe CAN divide by zero!!!!!

Dividing by zero causes the value to always be 65535 which means that the background will be completely stationary and have no scrolling whatsoever.  This is one of those things I love about Axe.  There really are real life situations where you want to divide by zero and it does have legitimate uses.

Yeah, that's because all numbers, no matter how big X or Y are, are going to be exactly the same number when divided by zero.  That means they will also all have the same modulus too, which I believe is 7 if using ^8.  Even if you went out to the 65535th pixel in any direction, the background will still never shift.

Awesome!  I really like the change in scrolling.  This'll be a great game!

Thanks guys ^^ I hope I finish this one

Oh, I forgot to post my last night short update:

-Now levels can end (before, it would just continue reading data beyond L1 limits)
-Timer was added, altough you don't die when it reaches zero yet. It uses custom fonts, by the way.
-The last 15 columns of levels are now straightforward, giving you an indication that the level is ending very soon.

Just so you know, this project is on hold until next week. However, I can show a screenshot of the timer. I'll post it below.

EDIT: Here is it.
