sounds fun!
how are you going to manage 9*9 tiles?

yeah, because(like i said) this has to draw two rows per direction(meaning my max is 44)
hopefully i'll be able to fix that.
also: i tested a more updated version with a basic character made of 4 or'd sprites and collision detection. it was a bit harder to get decent data from, but i'm seeing around 11.5 fps

/\yup(so vertical scrolling has to draw 26 sprites altogether o_0)

sweet!
after a couple of tests, i've gotten
13.8 fps
consistently, and that's with some basic acceleration code included(as well as the engine itself being horribly messy because i was experimenting whilst writing it.)
this does not update the entire screen, can handle 256 tiles, and can jump1-8 pixels at a time
EDIT: oh right. this is at 6mhz

right now it draws two rows of sprites across the entire screen per shift, so i'm certain it could be optimized further(EDIT: especially if it didn't need to handle 100's of different tile types, in which case different shifts could be hardcoded like penguin mentioned doing in his new version of the impossible game), but it allows the screen to shift 1-8 pixels in any direction without any difference in speed between different shift distances.

this is wonderful, builder!
as for smooth-scrolling: what i'm working on right now might work, but i'm not sure if it would be fast enough(especially for vertical scrolling)
still, this shouldn't be allowed to go to waste.

ohey, i didn't notice this before congrats and the like to you all. i am a fan of the choices. Junior year sucks. I'm actually in the middle of it too, but currently dominating my 4 AP classes Cheesy
Wow how do you manage it? Someone had like 3 a few years ago and barely even had time to eat/sleep. X.x apart from maths, all of my classes are AP  as an aside: from now on when i quote things it will look like it does above because for some reason the quote button is refusing to function under the current set-up

personally, i look for huge range of motion(so no castlevania  ), lots of neat gravity tricks and effects, multiple ways of beating enemies with varying effectiveness(megaman got this right), and loads of character sprites. adventure idea:
much more relaxed. have one HUGE scrolling map in which you have to find items. at first some items are impossible to reach. but after gaining a couple items (like, i don't know, a boat to travel on water), you can get other items. just make sure it doesn't turn into legend of zelda number 2

this platformer is blockdude with gravity and special tiles. i like it =D well, I've just done SO MUCH PROGRAMMING in summer 2010 that I hit the record of an average of about 4-5 hours a day O.o
I think I learned from that summer how to get more efficient, though RandC isn't really showing it yeah, i remember when things were like that. during my last math class of the previous school year i succeeded in making a simple phoenix/like space shooter with a scrolling background in one hour(think pugluna, but less polished and much worse graphics). since then, though, things got busy. the last time i wrote a line of code was a month ago o_0 good luck on this(and on keeping yourself busy)!

it's wonderful!

speaking of ray needing extra time...
i remember seeing something about your calc being bricked on sunday?!
how did that situation turn out?

/\meh, megaman 2 was easy(aside from quickman's level, that is)
i love the sprites and can't wait to see what you come up with, sir!

sweet! i've been waiting a very long time for this. unfortunately, i probably wont be working on any calc stuff until after december(i'm just too busy at the moment).

i clicked that link(well actually, copied and pasted into a new tab) and my first reaction was, this isnt all that bad. dunno what everyone is getting so worked up about. then i noticed that, though i was still scrolling down, the scroll bar wasn't getting any closer to the bottom, just getting smaller
