[PC] Wal-Rush! (Scratch/Flash)

It seems like something I'd get in trouble for playing during math class. Jk, I make sure I don't get caught

Looks fantastic though

Hahah, thank you!

[spoiler=DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU ARE A CONTEST MODERATOR]That binary I posted is not of my Walrii program, in any prototype, beta, or final form or otherwise. It is a TI-BASIC program that has these contents:

Code Select

ClrHome:Disp "Are you kidding?","You think I'd","disqualify my","entry this early","on? No way! :P

I have broken no rules. I just had a little fun

I'm glad that this program is fake and not from the real contest entry

Also this looks nice so far. I was worried about the motion blur making anything hard to see, but it doesn't seem too bad. Does it flicker a lot on the real machine?

Hey, don't give me that look! Gah

And thanks. It actually does flicker very noticeably (not enough to ruin the gray effect, but enough for you to see that it's flashing two images over and over). I might as well make this 15MHz only. $:-\$

I haven't seen anything posted here in a while, but I'm just curious as to how the project is going? Any optimizations that made it faster? Or any new features?

It depends. If the flicker isn't that much worse than in Desolate then I think it should be fine. Even Reuben-BASIC-like flicker (when it ran at 15 MHz) would be tolerable, but with scrolling it would not be ideal. 15 MHz is fine for the contest.
