Yeah, I instantly remembered the time I was playing BombJack all night long on Amstrad CPC :)
Good programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, should be hard to read.

The speed problem is no PureBasic error. To avoid this problem programmers must use SetFrameRate() and SetRefreshRate() correctly, otherwise default rates are selected (and these can differ from system to system). But back to the topic...

Great, I'm a BombJack fan too, and the enemies movement is almost perfect!
Something I miss is the fact that while a "men" falls and transforms, you can pass through it without risk :)

Can somebody please make a remake of "Trantor - The Last Stormtrooper" !?
That's about the only game I still remember by name... 8)

(Well, Giana Sisters and Turrican of course... Greetings to Chris H. :) ...but that was on C64/AMIGA)

Thanks PB, but I meant a real re-make.
Better resolution, Windows, more modern overall... :P
