Thanks guys

Plus he has done calc stuff for quite a while already.

Tomorrow I will have been with Omnimaga for a year :O

yeah but didn't you join TI|BD like around the same time Omnimaga shutted down? (early 2008) Plus IIRC you were invited to TI|BD, meaning you alerady had releases there or were alerady programming for calcs before.

That reminds me I should really give this game, your old Portal clones as well as a few others like Tetris a try. I tried trapped but gave up cuz I couldn't solve most puzzles (I suck at those games. For the 15th level of Portal for the PC, i had to rely on an online walkthrough to figure out how to get past the 00:37 part of this video after trying to figure out for 2 hours.

I think you should make the pieces contact the walls also, and instead of moving the walls, I'd make them 2 pixels thick, so it touches and you can pxlTest.

Hmmmm?  The walls are tested using Pxl-Tests, I just moved them to give a more styalized design, although it doesnt seem like it is catching on The pixel that is being tested is in the center of any given block, so walls are tested just like pieces.  I'm thinking that i should add lines in the spaces now, though

Right now it's like this:
Line, Space, Blocks
I think it would look better as:
Line,Line,Blocks

This lets you pxlTest and lets the wall come all the way in.

I agree ^^ I am curious how good it would look like

The unfortunately down side of builder boy leaving me in the dust is that I was using the competition as motivation and cause he finished so fast I no longer have as much motivation.
I also must note to builder boy that your codes wall time (actual execution time) is in fact not the ultimate determinate of programs quality this case as long as your code can respond and change everything in <1/60 of a second it doesn't matter how quick you do things with in that so the real challenge is to make an appearance of faster running not a straight up faster running piece of code. if it's impossible to do a full render do as close as you can and clean up next frame. that is the key to making the game look better.
we are look at run times in the 1/1000 of a second range.  One must realize that you can do quite a bit in 1/60 of a second.

there is a definite place for interlacing and the like.

So you live in Quebec then?

EDIT: Stupid question. Should've seen your profile 

I usually optimize for speed in BASIC when I want the highest speed possible but it really depends of people and programs as well as what people are aiming for.

@Willrand yeah Quebec. A bunch of the forum users actually speak french as native language or speak it a lot (altough they mostly live in Europe)

Yeah the issue is that often in BASIC you need every picosecond you can save because every single token seems to slow things down .

In ASM you will add a bunch of code and it will still run relatively fast.
