Can I have my eyes back please ?

It ran OK up to Level 13 (score ~8470) when it suddenly dropped to about 1fps and then froze. This is with hundreds of those red bombs on screen.

Very nasty piece of work.

Greetings Puppies,

Thanks for all the positive feedback ;0) Weeeellll, you know how it is playing about with all the exciting features of a new language - just be glad I didn't add any sound (under the Geneva Convention I'm not allowed to, due to a basic lack of talent and certain sadistic nature).

@Booticus: I'm not sure whether you prefer it now or with the starfield earlier? I think it looks better (even if more nauseating) now.

@PGF: Yeah, I've probably gone a bit overboard with the particle effects on everything. At level 13 you'll have 65 aliens with 10 trails each + 1 bomb each every 2 seconds with 4 particles added every 1/10th seconds and the smoke on the player and the bullets and so on. Too much d'ya think? Also, I suspect the copying of each image into each particle each time isn't helping.

It's all very exciting though, this new BlitzMax thingy!

Peace,

Jes
