You remember the part where i said this isn't a game yet? This engine is not representative of the way the game is going to be at all, but right now i am simply working on getting a fast, and functional engine, along with good control and features. believe me, plans for enemies, alternate weapons, advanced scoring, and multiple objectives are well underway.

Well, this isn't a game yet, just working on the engine. Glad the lag is gone!

You know, i was refraining from doing that before, because it means i need to add another axis of rotation, and do a lot more trigonometry. But now i know that the trigonometry is NOT what is restricting the speed. Its the drawing of polygons. Greenfoot can literally not draw 1200 polygons and still get good frame rate. So, yeah. I'll see what I can do :)

arrow keys shoot left a shoot right s Yay for Spanish to English translator!

Well, Greenfoot and java was never suposed to be used like this, so its going to have to struggle to get good speed. I'm working on boosting it. Right now it works fine for me, maybe your computer runs slower? Whats your stats (RAM, proccessing speed, #proccesors, ect...) Right now i am completely re-writing the engine. Right now when it says rendering 600 triangles, that means its calculating 1800 vertices, 3 for each triangle. But with the new engine it will only calculate 900 or so, and will be able to handle polygons with more than 3 sides Also in the final version there will be an option of using low(er) polygon models and/or using wire frame to boost speed.

Well, if that's true for everyone else, that will make for a good speed increase, as I won't have to do any of the trig for camera rotation! ...And what do you mean Herman? These are the small asteroids ;)
