vdub_bobby Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Well, I was able to get it fast enough to handle about 80 enemies. I also forced the bullets onto a grid to make collision processing much faster and easier. Robotron20080109.bin I suppose the next step would be to add other sprites. I'm not sure if I want to take this much further, though. Source is in zip file. robotron20080109.zip Something that occurred to me...it might be faster - though maybe not - to process horizontal movement by rows but process vertical movement by columns. Have to do two columns per frame to keep the movement speed the same. Edited January 10, 2008 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 You know, the arcade version of Robotron moves the Grunts less often when there are more of them. Couldn't you add a counter to your code so it only tries to move X number of Grunts per frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm done with this for now; maybe I'll pick it up again at some point, but I'm focusing on other things right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
