Man someone should make a lua scene that does turn based gameplay using AI mode commands.

England, why?

I'm not sure I would like that turn based gameplay thing.

turn based would be really fun I would love to see that made.

Ah. England to Spain is undoubtably faster and less skippity than England to America. Which, btw, is unbearably bad once you start playing.

You'll want to be geographically close if you want this to work at any bearable speed. So I guess someone might have to make a similar server for America. Perhaps even several, if demand is great enough.

So Enforcer, how well does it work between you and your friend?

We might get that sticky taken down after all.

Yes, but atleast it works. I still have to find better ways to optimise it.



I still haven't optimised it yet, hold on.

Me and Enforcer found a way to make it run better, we basically make it only share a region of the screen.

So how's the lag, now? This seems interesting.

Basically, it runs totally fluid when the screen isn't shifting; but when somebody jets through the air at 100 mph, then it becomes a slide show. Atleast, that's how it played for me when I joined Crazys' room. There must be a way to fix this, then it should be perfectly playable.

Also it depends on your connection and location at the moment, eventually it should be completely fluid.

Or maybe it can't be further optimized, and this will be as good as it gets. It sounds not too bad as is.
Just accept that there is a limit to what can be done to make it faster.

But how do you know that? There are alot of things I haven't tried.

Such as? They might not help anyway, there's only so much you can do to speed things, especially if the code isn't yours.

There is alot I can try to speed it up.

As I said, the only problem with it is when somebody jetpacks through the air at speed, when I was playing on Crazys' server, when things were only moving slowly everything was perfectly fluid. As in about 20+ fps.

All the program does is update the places/pixels on the screen which change, such as the background, which shifts as screen moves. It can't be too hard to find a way to fix that.

Hey hey guys why do I not hear the sound of everyone's head exploding? Mine certainly is.

20 frames? Per second? Is that accurate?
