I'm using the latest (stable) version, not the nightly, and running it on Windows 8. And don't know if you saw it since I posted it like 30 seconds before you did, but I just noticed that once I unlocked set 159, the slowdowns ceased...

The team comes to the aid of some familiar faces at one point during the game. Pretty obvious who one of them is...but probably not so much on the other one... <a href="http://mocbjsoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Ruin0012.png"><img src="http://mocbjsoftware.com/wp-content/uplo...

I just checked and it slows down with the arrow keys as well. It appears that it goes normal speed with arrow keys until it has to load another walkabout set from off-screen.

Strange Slowdown On Walkabout Graphics Menu

I've noticed something over the past couple days that I thought was a bit odd. When I display the walkabout graphic menu (where it shows all of the walkabout graphics), and I use page up/down to move through them, it moves VERY slowly. A slowdown is also obvious when you swap between the individual ...

They don't scroll across the screen but they do move some.

And thanks for the kind words crow tongue. I'm hoping that people really enjoy all this new stuff I will be adding and the changes I've made to old content.

Another question to add to the list: Do the games have to be 100% complete, or are demos allowed? :???:
Demos are fine. In fact, many of the best 8-bit games end up being demos themselves.

I looked in the Forum and the wiki... but what is a 8-bit contest? I think it has something to do with music and graphics. Do all resources have to have 8 -bits? What does that mean? And how is this done? I'll will have holidays for the 24th on for about 2 months, so August sounds perfect, if the c...

2013 8-bit Contest - When?

We haven't had an 8-bit contest in years and I think it's time to bring it back. I know I can't possibly please everyone but Id like some feedback as to when it would be best to do it. I don't know for sure yet but I feel certain that the contest will be 3-4 weeks in length followed by 2 weeks of vo...

Actually Meow is right; those image files are really large, 1.3MB in total. I tried running them through pngcrunch, but only got about a 25% size reduction typically. (This just goes to show that .png is actually pretty lousy at compression. You're better off compressing raw bmp files in a zip or b...

You change layers in the map editor mode by pressing page up and page down. If you go to the "layers and tilesets" section of the map, you can add, remove, and move layers into different order by holding shift and using the arrows keys. You will want the bush graphic to be on a layer BELOW...
