XGA: updates I guess...

[Dinar87]

Hey all. I'm currently trying to find out why my game has random lag and stutters, and it would be nice if people tested this build for me. It's one room and I need to see if the lag is on you guys' ends as well as mine, of if it's entirely an issue on my end.

Hey, I played up to the first boss, didn't notice any issues on my end.

I've struggled with optimizing various things in my project too. It was a bit difficult to figure out, but I've found the Profile feature is really helpful for things like that.

You might already be well familiar with the Profiler, but if not, feel free to hit me up on Discord and I can share a couple things I learned about using it! :^_^:

I played it on my 5 year old lower-end laptop up until the chasing monster shows up, and I didn't notice any stutters.

That's good!

Haha I use the profiler constantly >;) but they weren't showing on there either.

Also, collision code improvements here. I'm changing the hitbox's speed every frame and the collision code is still working. He's not getting stuck in mid air.

More collision code work...WIP
Moving faster than 1 pixel(s)

Collision code rework is done. My character is randomizing his speed between 1 pixel and 16 pixels per frame. Took 1 week in total.

Wow, it's nice seeing how the game is still being actively developed after all the years since i've first seen this. It makes me glad how the game is soon getting finished, as i remember when this game only had up to a unfinished sector 3, many game crashing bugs like able to unload things and getting to rooms that i wasn't supposed to, crashing the game. I really hope this gets finished as it's so close to actually getting to the light of day where you're getting money off this, keep working on it at your own pace.

Thank you for your support! :) 

I'm dealing with a lot of serious IRL stuff atm which massively limits how much I can work on this game, but I won't stop! I will finish it one day!

I've not been able to work on my game as I'm dealing with a lot of irl issues atm. I hope things will get better soon and I can work on XGA again!
