Markus: Well it’s a tad bit to hard to control. You should adjust it a bit, it would really improve the gameplay.

#22

Its playing just right now, excellent!

#23

way too fast on my machine. A single 360 rotation takes about 0.2 of a second. I think timing is to blame…

Seems unlikely that the timing code would be off…

while (lastTime < System.currentTimeMillis())
{
    lastTime += 20;
    // game logic, including turning the ship
}
// render everything
#25

um, isn’t that loop abit flawed?

If the game logic takes longer than 20ms, that loop will go on forever.

Also, the number of game logic updates per render = (gameLogicTime+renderTime)/20.

So on a machine that renders slowly, they will indeed get uncontrollably fast (and jerky) game logic.

#26

Start of each level 3 and 4 is just madly difficult I think… Haven’t made it past that :stuck_out_tongue: Once the onslaught in start is done, it gets relatively easy. Maybe reduce badies surrounding startingpoint?

There are also a few spots of “thin/small” demolishable walls that can’t be seen, but that one still collides against.

#27

How do you figure? The number of updates per second = 1000/20. Exactly.

#28

Hahaargh, cute.
I totally forgot to submit this game.

Ah well, less competition for miners4k, I guess. ;D
