I don’t have any numbers, but it’s a slightly noticeable hit in debug and not noticeable at all in release. Oddly the framerate of the actual Flash components seems quite slow though - at a different framerate to that of the rest of the game. I think that’s because Flash files have a set framerate of their own, which defaults to 12Hz… must change that!

Mystery project huh.. exciting! Interface looks great. What does the flash integration do to your frame rates, any noticeable difference?

You’ll just have to wait and see, won’t you?

Basically I’ve got some ideas technology-wise I’ve been wanting to try out on my own projects, and there’s call for these ideas at work now, so it seems like a good idea to get implementing them. At the same time, they need to be applied to a game, so I shall start work on a prototype of one I’ve had in mind for a while. Hopefully something interesting will come of it all!

I’m sure my high score is better than that!

Side project? Do elaborate…

Well, I don’t think that’s the case, but then I haven’t seen the film so I suppose I can’t know for sure. It certainly seems like I’m alive, anyway.

You may not be dead, but are you really alive, or are you really an undead puppet at the bay of a necromancer forcing you to reinact scenes from There’s Something About Marry against your will??

What’s the deal with Simul Weather? Is it an expensive commercial product? How easy was it to integrate into your renderer?

Thanks! It looks a lot better in motion - I’ll capture a video once I remember how I did it last time.

Goot spot with the header - looks like an upgrade overwrote my changes. I may end up making a new theme anyway, once the look of the game gets nicer!

PS What’s happened to the island in the website header?
