Very nice, like the flow in it, cheers

Is it only me, or has the money in the computer gaming industry gone far beyond my imagination. Are we seeing too many similar games?

In the early days, gaming was a joy in achieving whatever. You saw pixels move and you were thrilled. And then you started to THINK about how to make that better. It ...

Must be "Major Havoc"

I had never figured out what freaks get out of bombing innocent peoble. What's the reason? Serious they must be really sick.

thats Very nice, good sound and simple to play. Great work. Love it.

Yay another beta! Lets hope for some more Beta's, so Fred can avoid updating the help file.

PB4 is very stable for me now

Great effort

Any got a working example of using the RawInput buffer with a mouse?

Been messing with it abit now, and so far without luck. Got to the point where I can recieve the WM_INPUT events in a windowcallback procedure and examine them with GetRawInputData. But I never get any success with the ...

Dagcrack was kind enough to start an excellent thread on delta timing, and I don't really want to morph it into a discussion of which hi-res timing method is best. But Microsoft recommends this:

Sounds very Sci-Fi - but i wouldnt really take it that seriously, despite the facts about ww2. Yes the germans were prototyping Jets and Rockets in the end of the war. But this just sound to fantastic, and to this day, we can't do it. But got a nice read out of it in wikepidia.

You see now the benefits of keeping old hardware ?

It's very good for development to have several systems, when possible.

lol yea so true, it feels like testing in the darkness without a wonderfull slow PC.

You're moving based on fixed floating point values! This is wrong!. When designing a game, if you really want to make things work smooth on any framerate, you must move by time / tweening and not by framerate.

Hope you get this nailed for the next release ...

Beta 7 allready, the last month or so, have been a Pure enjoyment.

Thanks PB team!

K thanks for the feedback everyone.

Looks like I need todo some optimization. It should prefered run at 150fps, guess it uses to much gfx memory on the gradient background.

I'll bump back when there is some new stuff to show.

Hi everyone

I am so excited over PB4, that I've actually got the start of a little game in progress.

It would be nice if peoble could test it so far, can it run on lower end computers?
