Powerup drops: Heh, a few sprites, thats about it
Enemy AI: Started
More Levels: No doubt the easiest part, as I just copy them from my SNES version
And more to come. I also have to figure out how to use the scroll screen effect and I'll probably use that, too.
Anyways, I'll try to keep you all posted :)

@xlibman: I was thinking about that, but I'm not really sure how to do it. It's a possibility, though.

prgmEXLEV4BM
"prgmDEFAULT,prgmCUSTOM,prgmCUSTOM2,ect."->String 1
then find where there are commas and use that to draw a list on screen, then using xlib's copy archived ability, coppy the file you sub(ed into string 2 and have it load it into the game
the owner would either manualy update the list or you could use a asm program to generate/update this prorgam with the data in it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmmmmm...I smell a way to make xlib into a full blown shell (like mirage or crunchy) via a little basic programing

I've been a little busy, but I've been working on some optimizations for the movement code, as it's a little slower then I'd like. After that, I'll continue the AI work, and then power ups. So, yep, it's still trucking on :)

EDIT: Ok, sorry about the contrast. It was late :)
So, what do you think? Still need power ups and AI, and I'd like to improve the movement engine more; it's still a little laggy.

| OMG awesome!!! Nice to see its still progressing. You even made the char move smoothly, keep up the good work! To speed it up maybe you can make the char move 2 pixels or 4 per time instead of 1. Also you should increase contrast in pindurTI so we can see something (my poor eyes :P) |
Yeah, though it moves pretty well going by 1 pixel it would be faster for 2 (4 or 8 would be a lot more noticable being choppy) unless you do it by 8 which is what I do in my games ^.^.

!!!! just post ur source code here,and we'll see wat we can do to optimise it ;)

Yeah, the main problem is the lag between pressing the button and the character actually moving. I've been experementing a little bit with ways to fix this, but lately I've been quite busy, so I haven't had time to sit down and test all of my ideas. Don't worry though, I'll find time eventually....

Well I do think you could do smooth scrolling and still have key presses. What I mean is Say you have a default of moving 8 pixels at a time, but you go up and want to go down. So you started moving up by 1 pixel at a time and at the third pixel you pressed down, it would then start moving down not just 8 but now 11 (You moved 3 and now need to move 8 for the down direction so 3+8=11). I have a better explaniation in my head, but I gtg take a shower.

Also, I got Graphlink running again so i can post some code now. I'll make a new topic for code though. Check it out.
