... or not...

Unfortunately, the framerate didn't increase much, and the mouse doesn't react as smooth as it should.
I tried it at a friends pc as well, because I thought that it is my mouse that causes the ugly movement, but there's the same problem as with my pc.
Maybe, there's something wrong with the code?
Needs still optimizing.

Maybe, you can ask one to have a close look at the code for optimizing.

Can you tell me what's your configuration and you'r friend too ?
nvidia or ati?

Mine is an Ati Radeon X300SE
His is a
Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family

-Press P to pause the game
-New explosive Bonus

-Background with less polygons
-Some bugs fixed.
-Bonus calculation

As always, very nice update.
I like the score screen and the new items!
Also, the "catching" sound + effect are very clear and well done now.

The stones on the sides could use a normalmap...

Tanks Germanunkol!
I no longer use normalmaps because some computer's limitation.
But I have to work textures (color and contrast) to blend walls better with the scene

I've made some tests using dynamics objects and I have in mind some interesting ideas of gameplay with this

I would highly recommend providing either an option for normal mapping, or using it by default because it looked better before. Perhaps you just need to pick a better shader -- in this situation it looks like the normal-mapping would only need to consider the sun, but if it really affects the framerate that much I suspect you're using one of the wiki shaders that use heaps of light-sources.

Progress is lookin great

I use the normal map shader include with 3d gamestudio

Everythings getting better and better, except the background. It's just ugly. The whole game plays just at that little level and then you can put something in there. Please do everyone a favour and put the old one back in there! These few polygons are probably not exactly what will give you a great speed increase...
