Description
movement: up, down, left, rightshooting: W, A, S, D
this is just a speedtest for the engine i'm working on, fps is in the corner so let me know how it performs for you (if it lags drop the quality down a notch)
I'm actually pretty happy with how well flash handles this many bullets (they are ALL running collision detection btw) of course the in the game the bullets will spawn in patters from the enemies so it wont be so... scary
(at least not at the start 
)if you are running a reasonably good pc and cant hit an average 30 fps even with lower quality please let me know ya
anyhoo, 8 directional shooting + movement
edit: ugh, putting it in browser HALVES fps... looks like this will be download only ppl

30 - 60 fps. Shooting increases fps (?). Control reminds me of "SmashTV"

This very simple and cool. I started to read your description and it said it should be running at around 30 fps on a fast computer but it stayed at a 50 in both low and high quality. But then i read more of your description and clicked download and it played on high quality at 30 fps

It runs at about 60 FPS on my dad's PC.
But the target doesn't be shot down when touching bullets,weird. O_O

simple shapes, and circular colision detection

yo. At standard size it runs at a near constant 63FpS. I really love this. You're THIS close to havign yourself a worthy Geometry Wars Opponant here. I can't wait for the finished version.
Oh...perhaps if the arena were a tad bigger? it seems too small to really inundate you....
but that's coming from a geowarz whore X3

well it does seem that most people are getting good results with the framerate, and I've had a few pointers on how to reduce lag even more, so a bigger play area is a definate possibility
although... I've never played geometry wars

OH GOD WHY NOT?!?!?!?! Go to your nearest walmart with a 360 kiosk! (at least go online and find a video of the play) the kiosks have the game buried in them, if you can figure out where to look. Give it a play. And watch a video...becuase Geometry Wars: Retro-Evolved is ....pretty much the biggest an dmost popular 360 game /.\ but it's still really fun. (i like dead rising more...but geo wars costs $5 lol)

i get like 30-34 fps in the browser on high quality. also this game is addicting. even if its not the real game yet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
haha. THAT is kewl as man
I really like how the engine feels so far.
Better than wh at I could do haha... *sigh*
I can handle dodging the majority of those bullets (and it kept me entertained for a while haha (until I kept ending up at the bottom of the screen...)), yes, but shooting stuff at the same.. I think its too much for my simple brain
Hmm... my computer is pretty stock (parents brought it..) in the browser it runs at about 24-26 without shooting 20-24 shooting (and getting it alot
May I ask the code to show fps? :S *too lazy to google

I get 56-58 in the highs, and 38-40 in the lows.
My only suggestion is to make the shooting 16 way via making q shoot up-left, e up-right, z down-left, and c down right, while x would shoot down, and s could be made a special fire button, or to shoot from all sides but with far less bullets. This would be an optional control setup, of course. Otherwise, very nice engine!

Got 32-41 fps in browser at high quality.
running athlon xp 2600+ (@ 2.02 ghz) with 1 gig pc3200 ram. (for reference!)
also: the hitbox is a bit large! all crazy shooter shumps require a miniscule hitbox
also: bullets should be blinky!

I noticed that the bullets (red dots) don't always detect a collision with the ship. This seems to occur when less than half the bullet touches the ship.
Anyway, fps never dropped below 30 for me. Everything runs really smooth. I can't wait to see what you do with the engine.

That's nice!

I had nothing below 56, and it went right up to 60 several times.
I like the eight-way shooting, and then engine effects when you move.

between 35-45 for the engine, and also going left and right is a bit slower than forward and back. Otherwise, brilliant! ^^

lol *puts clever voice on* the ships is moving the same speed left and right as up and down (I double checked my code) but the stars and bullets create the illusion of moving much faster vertically
thanks for the comment though

I should have know that.

I'm going to be like one of those annoying ten year olds on online games and go 'LAAAAAAAAAAAG'
But only when I'm moving does it drop to 35 or so....

thats not so bad actually, and this is kind of like a test for how busy it might get, its not likely to be this hectic all the time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Make it more so. Ikruga vetrans will adore you.

lol, dont get me wrong, there will be lots of bullets around the player, but we save lag if there are less bullets that dont stand a chance of hitting the player
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Homing bullets!
That would be mean.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I preferred this when the movement had acceleration...
Anyway, nice work
