A little critique, and a question on scripting

Gah! It bugs me that I can't figure out an elegant, and simple solution to this. If I could use arrays, I could think of something, wouldn't be too different from map visibility code for roguelikes in FreeBasic.

Though that does give me some ideas...

I'll be honest, I'm not sure how an array would help, unless you're really planning on reading and writing pixels on every tick, which I imagine would slow the game down quite a bit. I'm still assuming you'd want a small, non-rectangular area of visibility that appears to move smoothly.

Oh, this isn't resolved yet? What is it that you want?

No, no, it's resolved. I've gotten it working well enough, just thinking of ways to optimize it and make it more efficient. Hehe, just being a bit anal about it I guess =p

Optimizing things that are not actually measurably slow is the road to madness ;)

Hehe, most indeedy.

At times like these, I really should remember that favorite Filipino saying, "Pwede na yan!" Which basically translates into, "Well, it's good enough, and it probably won't go wrong, so to hell with it, I'm leaving it as it is!" Easily one of my most beloved phrases, hehehe.
