Yes. The reason why grayscale games often seem slower is because you are usually drawing twice as many sprites, one for each buffer. :)

Yeah, /256 is a lot faster :)

As for transitions, what kind were you thinking?  A fade out kind of style where the screen is cleared in some sort of effect and then redrawn with another effect?  Hmmm since your character is starting and ending on arbitrary parts of the screen, this might be the best option... Hmmm maybe have some sort of animation where they walk into a door and then the screen is cleared and then the player walks out of a door?

A door intro? sounds interesting.
I had another idea, but I'll have to look at Light's source code. :)

Speed tests! Each one is based on a 5000 frame sample, while jumping around and throwing boxes around.

1 box, 1 switch/door: 63.55 FPS
2 boxes: 58.59 FPS
3 boxes: 52.08 FPS
4 boxes: 47.92 FPS
5 boxes, 43.98 FPS

Wow nice stats! :D Are you going to cap the framerate at a certain amount so that it will always run at the same framerate no matter how many boxes you have?

I was under the impression you couldn't limit the framerate???

Hm...I'm not going to do capping right now as that could be fairly complicated <_< i guess you just pause an increment of time based on the number of objects on the screen, but that's not a top priority for now.

EDIT: For the entering and exiting levels I just made the guy walk into a door, the level shifts horizontally and shifts in the new level, then the guy walks out of another door. But now I need to make sure I make the spawn point on the ground :P

Alright, level design and input is coming along quite nicely. I'll have to get RLE working, though. It's at 10,000 bytes and 4,500 of those are levels. Each level takes about 560 bytes. (I've got 9 levels inputted so far, and subroutines to add objects also take up space.)

I'll get a screenie up later today.

As promised, a quick screenshot. I skip through the levels a bit, just to give an idea of what they're like :)

Looking great!  I assume that it was a really quick screenie, as you never even changed gravity. :)

Lol yeah, also in the first few levels gravity is turned off until you get the gravity-reversal device (Section is just to teach basic controls and such before giving gravity-induced headaches.)

Looking awesome :D I think you will find RLE really helps cut the size down.  500 bytes per level does sound pretty extreme though... do you have 2 bytes per tile?  In PortalX I get an average of 40-60 bytes per level, and thats with the same screen dimensions as you.

I also see you got horizontal doors implemented :] something I never wound up doing XD
