I had some time yesterday to work on my F-16 Falcon game.
I managed to rewrite some parts to cut down the size
and also compiled it with compilers optimizations adjusted for size
and I didn't notice that it is slower.

New executables size:
Optimization-> smallest fastest
---------------------------------------
main.exe 49'842 50'610
flight.exe 50'174 53,726
Hope that this will satisfy AFX "plus" models.
I still have to implement scoring system so main.exe will be a bit bigger.

THIS IS BETA RELEASE, PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE.

[ What's new ]-----------------------------------------------------------
- New "Southern France" scenario
- FIX: nasty "too many goround objects" bug fixed
- Decreased gravity factor for rockets (easier aiming)
- Altitude and target name display moved to the left by 1 pixel
- Rocket's explosion is shorter
- Heading indicator on map (press F5 to hide/unhide plane position)
- Exchanged position of flares/chaffs on HUD
- Chaffs & flares keys changed: COMMA(Chaff),RARROW(flare)
- Decreased hp of some buildings
- Delicate left/right turning keys (COS,TAN)

I can send it to the AFX/GRAPH100 "plus" owners for testing (I already sended it to Endi).
falcsml.cdr - both files optimized for size.
falcfst.cdr - both files optimized for speed.
Please test both packages.
BTW You can also try to recompile schorch with size optimizations.

pinned (again) by CrimsonCasio, I'm supporting the development of this game as it was the winner of the ASM/C side of the competition.

i take it, that the game is compatable for the AFX 2.0 (not plus)?

[huhn_m]

if you send it to me I can test it.
I have an FX 1.0+ and an AFX 2.0+ .

[AlephMobius]

I can test it on my AFX 2.0+. Send it to nessie235 AT aol.com.

[Andy.Davies]

send it to me, i will test it on my AFX 2.0

[Roeoender]

Andy & Aleph - PM info sent (BTW thanks to Mohamed).
As for the compatibility: It works on AFX "no plus" (as I own one), just "plus" versions have not enough mem, so I need someone to test this smaller version.
So Andy, you don't have to test anything on your "no plus" calc.

So does both/smaller/none version(s) work on the Algebra FX2.0/graph100 plus?

Ps. CK & CC .

[Roeoender]

Got report from Endi that Falcon works on his "plus" calc. But I ned to know if BOTH versions can run.

[huhn_m]

I accidently deleted your mail.
Can you send it again please.

And PLEASE don't send it to my web.de adresse.

Please do only use: huhnm(insert a there)earthforge.com

[Andy.Davies]

i got your PM, i will play it tonight

[[neo]f4kill]

I can test it too
I have a g100+
f4kill1 AT caramail.com

[Roeoender]

The main purpose for testing was achieved. I just need some time to add scoring system and fix one funny "thing" that Endi discovered - that is I have to change wing characteristics.

[C@siomax]

I fancy da + version

Thx !

[CrimsonCasio]

unpinned since the main purpose was achieved, Roe, i'll re-pin it later if you have more to ask/add.

[Roeoender]

Yeah, sure as you can see now I am concentrated on other afx stuff. Feel free to do anything with my posts without any notice
Moreover I don't think that this won't be as important to be pinned back.
