Wow, looking good!

Out of curiosity, how are you doing rank detection?  I was only able to do a kind of hacky way in my racer, and it only knew when you crossed the finish line.

It's sort of hacky here too (at one point in the screenshot both screens said first place). I first compare lap number, then waypoints passed, then relative positions.

According to Calcsys, it's 5372 bytes (and that includes the 1024-byte tilemap)

Found an optimization in the 3D rendering code which saves 9.75 clock cycles per pixel pair, for a total of about 15,000 cycles reduced per frame. :) Should add almost half a frame each second if my calculations don't fail me.

OVER 9000!!!

Actualy no, but hey, we can dream :)  I am still really impressed by the tilemapping engine, and how fast it is.  Ah the things calculator games inspire me to do!

higher FPS also means better looking grayscale. That's of course as long as FPS won't get way too high either, though (where grayscale would get out of sync with the LCD)

Wow, that's great!
I like the conversion to an App. :)

Maybe if it stays very small, you will manage to fit everything but the maps in one page, then fit as many courses as the original SNES game had in another?

But again, maybe it would be a good idea to have some external courses, for people who hate large files, kinda like Super Mario 1.2 and 2.0
