Hey Rich, Have a well deserved break.

Patch 4 Rocks. Great job. I'm Looking forward to seeing this language grow in stability and popularity with each version improvement. It is really shaping up now.

All I can say to this is ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. A lot of things in my code no longer work because of Patch 4, and i'm not talking about unimportant features! We're talking about collision detection died, camera transitions smoothly, 10 seconds AFTER I move the mouse and arrow keys (when any number of object is on the screen) and my particles look great! 2 out of 3 is bad. It's really shaped itself into a useless pile of crap worth 100 dollars right now, not very happy with this "speed upgrade" Huge disappointment.

P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

Well, my camera movement (two of them) is very smooth. Collision detection works well too, and a speed increase of around 70fps (30 with the second camera).

You show me your code, and I'll show you mine...

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

It's a lot, and it's badly documented, but it worked fine before the patch 4. Thanks

I must admit there doesn't seem to be any problems with your code... Why not send it to Rich...

And here's mine - it was done for a speed test & a sort of beta for the game I'm starting to design...

There's a screenshot of it on my web site.

Thanks, I'm thinking I'll just send it to him ... but he's going to be on vacation. How annoying, lol. Thanks again.

Wow,
That's interesting. Half of the time the ' works for commenting and the rest of them it doesn't. That is strange.
Hey, anychance of getting the media, that's what I am missing to do anything with it.

The media wouldn't effect the code, btw it should be noted that under patch 3.1 everything was working ok, except the particles. I'm talking smooth as a lamma's underside. It may be that only NVidia cards can be used efficiently with DBPro now ... which is damn annoying.
