Thanks Thomas :) Well I'm pleased some people like the look of it so far,
nearly ditched it when it started slowing down... I'm hoping it'll be my first
decent game for SAM, hehe ... I spent a good 6 hours on it yesterday, managed
to get rid of 3 of the point checks, without drastically changing how it
trials, and with some other changes managed to speed it up about 30 - 40 % when
your in the air (which is most of the time), so it's back to
the speed I wanted... Now to add in portals and a rope to finish off the
'trialing' mechanics before enemies and anims... Probs be back to ask for help
with the rope, ;)
I'd love to try and draw some rotated cogs for a level and watch them pick up
the ball and carry it between them, animated chains to working like conveyor
belts... but not sure best way to draw them yet. Animated scenery has always
been the main point of this game, and ahm still
stuck with static scenery :( (I did hoy in some earthquake code earlier though,
like two lines of code, hehe)...
P.S. Now down to 5 main POINT checks per frame, so getting excited about
trying to knock 4 of those down to 1 check, and that should make a really fast
engine for static levels, whereby loads of cpu time left for a few enemies...
and polish the current engine for animated and/or rotating levels, whereby only
one enemy will be possible probably, so will have to switch tiles occasionally
to form hazards :)

the way the ball crushes itself
