Salutations, (is this getting old yet?)
>Oh, and change rand(320) to rand(640)... :)
I thought it strange that lightning never struck on the right
side of the screen ;)
>it's still basically the same. Let me know what you think of it.
I like it, the lightning sometimes looks weird when there is
a whole lot of it (maybe rand(640) will fix that), but most of
the time it looks cool! One thing that I think would make it
better is if the flashes would illuminate clouds and/or scenery.
This would probalbly need the use of bitmaps though, just in
case you have something against that ;)
>Vector is easier to spell... ;)
Most of the names and words that I make up are kinda weird
like that. ;)
>The animation for the guy swinging the sword could be a bit
>better. It looks like he just pokes it forward. Maybe
>something more like what
Yeah, I plan on totally redoing the sprites. Maybe using that cool
sprite editor (Einar's?) but I don't know how to read the files. Maybe
it's documented but I don't think so.

I thought about that but I may not get around to it until I get
a lot of other stuff done.

Mode X ?
>black boxes around your guy don't look right. :)
I plan on fixing that.

OK, I'll try that, It might run smoother too.
>PS: I don't remember what version of Vector you have. The current
version

CTRL.
I must not have the current version.
>It's akward, so I need to find better keys. I'll work on it tonight.
Actually I like it that way: in games where you can change the key
config, I usually change it to something like that (ctrl, alt, shift and
arrow keys). Maybe you should set Vector up so that the user/player can
configure the keys. Hey, make save/load game options too ;).
PS- I don't have a "daily update" for Balenfaire today. I got
a lot of coding done but nothing that actually changes the
way it looks
Sincerely,
Lewis Townsend
