  Um, I don't really understand what you mean, but the GetImagePoint function factors in scaling and rotation for you. Image points aren't stored in VRAM, they're stored in system memory, so the function to retrieve it is fast.

  Looks nice I think it'd be better to publish tutorials in PDF or HTML formats, because people will be more likely to be able to read them.

  Is it a module format? Can the MOD object play them?

  You guys are bad for my budget:) You have got me thinking more and more about the solid state drive.

  How about a solid gold drive?

  If you're spending that much money on a super badass computer like that, I wouldn't go with onboard sound, it tends to suck. You may as well get a dedicated sound card.

  Also, they're expensive but have you thought about a 60gb or so solid state drive for running OS + programs from? I don't have one myself, but people with them sing about how fast their system boots, loads things, etc.

  modal layout objects that are linked to a layout with effects glitch up when the resolution size is changed.

  Did you report this as a bug? Manually changing the resolution would be the correct solution.

  Not sure what's going on there - I've manually activated the Imaku account now, though.

  To be honest, Java wasn't really designed for gaming. People always argue over performance, but I find most java programs I've ever used are pretty slow. I think it's being overtaken by other technologies these days...

  That looks fantastic, documentation in other languages would be really useful for a lot of people. The design is really cool too, where did you get that from? Did you do it yourself?

  There is no glitch with lerp. The event is running exactly as you wrote it.

  Take a look, it's effectively:

  lerp(.Y, .Y + 16, <some small value>)

  That will always produce a value slightly greater than just .Y, hence the object moves down. I guess that's in an event which is continually true so the object keeps going.

  Oh, for platforms I think it only tests if it's overlapping when the object is falling. Moving up or side to side doesn't check so acts as if it's not there. This allows you to jump upwards through the platform and land on top. You'll have to ask Davo for more detail, he wrote the platform behavior.

  I think it basically does an 'is overlapping at offest' test - ie. moves the object 1 pixel down and tests a collision there, and if there is one, the player is on the floor.

  Most sound cards only support 16 or 24 bit sound files - I think XAudio2 is clever enough to play 24 bit sounds on 16 bit hardware by converting the sounds automatically, but I dont think it does that for 32 bit sounds. Resampling it with an external tool should fix it.
