Heh... level 2 was easy.

(it may well be nearly impossible if you try to balance both sides, but there's a better way)

does it have something to do with motion blur? cause i absent-mindedly didn't make the super speed example turn off motion blur if it isn't supported

No, I've tried a couple of caps with motion blur (one by Ashley, a few by myself) and they ran without a problem.

I'm pretty sure the fault lies in the video drivers that I installed over the weekend. An error message pops up every time I restart the pc and it refers to the ATI Control Panel, which also showed up as an error when I tried to run the "mesh distortion" demos.

I'm going to download some older driver versions (and not bother with the catalyst control panel) and see if that does in fact get the caps to work.

-thanks for replying Ashley, Arcticus

I tried to run fantasyjam's game http://www.scirra.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1476

and I got this error message;

Failed to load plugin C:Documents and Settings/Caspis Sinclair/Local Settings/Temp/cap32.tmp/6.csx (998)

I tried some other newer caps and the "super speed" demo in the "My Creations" section http://www.mediafire.com/?xn0gc2me2zi does the same thing.

I uninstalled and reinstalled but I got the same error.

If you go down a bit you'll find the "2xsal" scaler. I'm not sure if you wanted something that sharpens images as well as scales them, but thats what it does. I haven't used it in a while but I'm pretty sure it runs from a dos box.

I got to level 5 and i tried a few times before i did.

Level 5 is my best as well.

You might not even have to tone down the number of enemies so much... just make them start off a bit further away from the main character. You need space to move and its really tough when you are surrounded right from the beginning.

Even though it's just a single screenshot... it sort of reminds me of Blackthorne.

Good to see a new platformer in the works. Good luck!

"High Detail" runs perfectly smooth (Athlon XP 2600, 512mb of RAM, Radeon 9800pro).

Don't stand still...

...and don't stop shooting. That seems to be the best strategy.

Ran smooth with no noticable bugs.

The best that I've done is taking out three of the guns. When you have to stay near the top of the screen its tough to avoid the homing bullets...

Cool... I'll have to give it a try when I get home. I love classic arcade games.

I have an Athlon XP 2600 w/ 512mb of RAM and a Radeon 9800pro. It runs perfectly smoothly and looks pretty cool, by the way.

I try to avoid being outdoors too much this time of year, but when it gets cooler I enjoy kayaking and camping. The camping part especially demands cooler weather... I can't imagine how anyone could enjoy sleeping in a tent when its so hot and humid.

I don't really care about the exercise part of it, although I imagine its probably good for your cardio. I just like being out on the water and getting the chance to see animals in the wild.

One of these days I'm going to see a shark! I've lived in Florida for over 20 years and despite all of the time I've spent on the water I can only say that I think I saw a fin once.
