Announce: My remake of robotron with DelphiX

The users pc updates as often as possible. When he's using a slow pc it may be possible that his pc can't keep up and the gap between two frames will be made larger, because it takes more time to process a frame, meaning the sprite is moving more irregular. (This is the same effect when playing for example in an online FPS, where you have a high ping rate and you see yourself suddenly jump forwards).
However, users with a more powerful pc who can keep up, may not experience that slowdown because the gap between to frames remains small.

I would recommend leaving the UpdateSpeed calculation alone and only change the speed of your sprites to a value you're comfortable with.

Many thanks. I think the independant update is working correctly now.
Please take a look and I`m working on some screenshots for the site now

Looks great! Especially the flashy transition to the next level. Very nice!
Keep us posted.

Btw, thanks for the credits!

Site, demo and screenshots updated.
I`m now using Jaro's accelerated UndelphiX, although not using hardly any of the hardware accelerated routines yet.

Work has since resumed on this project and there have been some major updates.

Yea, no problem. I'll do one tonight and stick it on google video / youtube. I`ve noticed that people would rather see a video rather than the game these days? Still, I'll get the video editor out and make a nice little trailer for it - at least it's another advertising medium as well
