Pacman Racer 1.4...(CRYSTAL CLEAR)

[Beastie]

I figured out the "offscreenonly" thanks to you guys:D its perfect now!

You should add new updates to your previous thread otherwise there will be too many PacMan Racer threads. You really need to fix the flicker, are you not noticing it or something? Use setscreen("offscreenonly") and View.Update.

when i use offscreenonly it doesnt work,all i can see is the red balls and everything else is black... and the flicker isnt that bad on my computer...

[cool dude]

u didn't have to make a new topic u could have replied to your older version of this game. also put in your setscreen offscreenonly and then put a View.Update in a lot of the parts in the code or else like u said u will only see the red ball. one spot to put it would be on line 727 but it still will flicker a bit but it will be better. then just stick the View.Update after each time u draw something.

the reason it's so hard to fix the flicker is because there's a lot of redundancy in the code and it's structure is generally unorganized

I usually only need to use View.Update once in my programs and they come at the end of the loop.

but yes, normally one would have a single graphics engine with a single View.Update() at the end of frame's render

[cool dude]

thats actually wat i meant. at the end of each loop u would probably need a View.Update since u r animating and drawing objects. trust me u will see an improvement and it shouldn't flicker at all.

[Beastie]

I fixed it it doesnt flicker at all anymore

[cool dude]

u did fix it except for the part that the pacman still flickers a bit but thats good.

[BPhelmet]

pretty nice game, but a few bugs need to fix

[Carino]

Pretty good. Though the collision is buggy and you can cheat at a few points.

[hdef]

there are a few bugs int he walls... like the first and last level u cna cut through the corner right before the ball in the first 1....

and int he one wher eu have the little gap u can go through that corner also...

...


got went through it... got rid of the flicker and changed it so u can't mvoe diagonally so u can't jump the walls at spots....

if u didnt want it done then sorry...

[Beastie]

thx...but thrs some other bugs i gotta fix and it seems worse with out being able to move diaganally

[hdef]

yea i just didnt see the need to move diagonally, all ur turns are 90 anyway...
