Nice game

. The events seems slow tough. May be you have put a delay() somewhere and using WindowEvent(). If yes, don't call the delay() if an event occurs. Ex:

Code: Select all

Event = WindowEvent()
If Event
  Do your code
Else
  Delay(20) ; Wait only when no events are in the queue
EndIf

Very nice done, but the mouse moves very slow here because StartSpecialFX() is called everytime the mouse moves in another cell.

PureBasic allows you to perform real time effects like alphablending, shadow, color filter etc. These rendering effects are very CPU intensive (even if they are very optimized) and must use a special trick to be performed quickly. StartSpecialFX() creates a memory buffer to perform all the rendering and the result will be copied back to video memory when StopSpecialFX() is called. This means that hardware acceleration (i.e. graphics card chips) cannot be used during this period. All operations are performed by the main processor. This is important to understand otherwise game performance will drop a lot.

@fred:
What do you mean with :"The events seems slow tough"?
It runs good on my machine, so i think, it should run on nearly every not too old machine.
The only problem is, that i don't get every time a repaint-message, when i need it (for example, move the window outsite the screen and back).
But if you move the mouse in the playfield, it should redraw.

my hiscore: 36.694.656

btw: Newer version (2 Stone-Sets, minor changes, smaller size)

I think Fred means the mouse reakts very slow when moving fast over the board.
CPU usage is 100 percent if you move the mouse around.
it because of the StartSpecialFX()

Yes that's it. StartSpecialFX() shouldn't be used here, it's a too big surface. Just comment StartSpecialFX() and StopSpecialFX() all is very fast now.

Small tip: build this structure
(o=empty, #=stone)

oo#oo
o#o#o
#o#o#
o#o#o

And set the 4-neightbour-stone at end of the game (because *2)

What is next:

I have written a new version, with 2 new variants.

The Stone can set to every place, which

Freestyle:
----------
* has no neightbour
* every neightbour has the same color or the same icon

Rand:
-----
* on the border
* with minimum ONE neightbour with the same color or icon

Extreme:
--------
* on the border
* every neightbour has the same color or the same icon

(BTW: I have compressed the bmp and wav in the exe, so the old one can delete.)
