That's the most recent one anyway.

Yes, I'm considdering removing the 256 color mode completely.
It doesn't seem to work right on anyone's machine including
mine. It seems that Neil forgets that black is transparent when
it is in 8 bit color mode.

That's a "feature" not a bug. The way the controls work is:
Up = walk forwards
down = walk bacwards
left = rotate left
right = rotate right
The reason the "background" moves on your screen rather than
the man is because the "view" is always centered on the player
controlled sprite. This creates the effect that you noticed
and while it is sometimes disorienting at first, I think it is
better that way. Wouldn't you hate it if your character could
run off the screen and get lost?
> Truecolor: On my system never loads just locks up
Probably takes too much memory. I'm thinking that everything
that I can do to save on memory consumption will allow more
users to play the game.

Thanks, yes, I will probably remove 256 color mode unless I
can find a solution to the problem. As for truecolor mode,
I may find a way to detirmine how much memory it will take
and warn the user if it seems like a lot.
later,
Lewis Townsend
