i'm glad you caught that bug =D * shmibs was really confused about there being, seemingly, no objective.

this does look rather impressive =D
i've never seen such a graphically-intensive game in nSpire basic. did they update what you could do in basic since the original?

if it's just a minor fix, like changing a timer, resubmit it and the updated version will be used instead. squidget also had a minor bug that drastically influenced gameplay, and he was allowed to update it. major updates, though (more than two or three lines of code) are too much.

in axe, bitmaps are images that are drawn directly to the lcd, like text usually is, rather than drawn to a screen buffer that is then sent to the lcd all at once. this is useful when you want to have an overlay (say, a menu or something) that doesn't affect the image currently on the buffer. it shouldn't be used for displaying in-game sprites or anything like that, though, because the method of drawing directly to the lcd is much slower than using a buffer (and is, in fact, one of the biggest reasons why Basic games are so slow)
EDIT: runer pointed out that i'm behind the times and the bitmap command no longer draws directly to the screen in recent versions of axe, meaning builder is right and it's just an easy way to draw multi-sized images. if you have a single-small sprite to draw, though, the sprite commands will still be more optimised, and thus faster.

that's weird? * shmibs checks to see what's wrong EDIT: if you can see the results before having seen the options, you should also have a "voting options" link. if that's not working, let me know

* shmibs wonders how long it would take for all these error messages to mess with responses.

one last update
i fixed a couple of small bugs, added logical OR/XOR -ing of tiles over each other as a paste option in the editor, which people may find useful for making masked sprites, and added default filenames for the "to program" export options to save people a little time.
this is it for now, unless the urge to work on a grey-scale version comes about at some point in the future

i was using it for determining the angle from those enemy tanks to the player tank here, and ended up using the built in tan^-1 method out of curiosity, though, what other things do you mean?
