235 bytes gone ;) AND a feature added: Instead of setting the screen contrast to 50 after the intro (ignoring what it was previously set at), it now sets the screen contrast back to what the user had it set at.

And a quick question: why is the following code in the program? The code seems pretty infinite-velocity-proof already, so you can probably get rid of it.
Code: [Select]
:If sub(CY,-3
:If V>50000
:0→V
:End
:End

Um. Uh. The V>50000 actually tests if your velocity is negative, or at least I think it does. This prevents the 0->V from taking effect unless you are moving upward, which could be a problem with the way I've done ground collision...basically, I forgot. Thanks for extras.

Also, I'm fairly sure that the bluescale does NOT harm the screen. There's a relevant thread on UTI.
See you, space cowboy...

/\that should work(unless the value you're dealing with is greater than 5k, that is)
both
:If V>65536
and
:If V<<0
should work, although im not sure which is faster(or if they're exactly the same)

Oh, in that case, you could optimize it by changing If V>50000 to !If V≥≥0

Thx, Runer.

One thing though: will the game run this fast in final version?
No.

;D

mmm...maybe what I should have said is that it will run at the same speed as the Flash MFQT. Having not played it in two weeks, I don't remember how fast it actually goes, so...yeah.

Ah I see. Well just as long as it doesn't run uber extremly fast where when you jump you fall back on the floor withink 0.25 seconds, leaving you no time to react. X.x

Development stalled until Tuesday, when I get my calc back from a friend. He's fixing my ultra-decimated 2ND button, which I have actually worn away the rubber from. 3 solid years of playing Phoenix + epic button mashing skills = Your button has no recoil. [EDIT: I SAID RECOIL.]

Next update will include level loading.

My calc has been returned, with an epic-recoil 2ND button. It feels like a 360 trigger :)
Development has resumed. Expect an update soon!

Awesome!  How old is your calc by the way? :)
