Maybe scrolling the bitmap causes the slowdown? In my scrolling engine i keep the tilemap in a single bitmap which is one tile larger than the screen and move the container movieclip instead of using the scrolling function. You may want to check this method.Quote:

As a side note, the game is very laggy when the SitePal banner is loaded in another tab. Maybe this is the cause?
Bad_Sector: So when you have moved your bitmap as far as it goes you have to move it back and redraw the whole thing, right?
The way my scroller works is by using the native bitmapData.scroll function (which should be _very_ fast) and then it just updates
the few pixels on the edge that are new. The game is 30 FPS/Hz btw.
What's the SitePal banner?
Allilm: Thanks! :) Hey, I just visited your site the other day and if you're interested I'd love to do a link swap.
Whoa, that's great! :D I've been checking out my site's referrals all day. So much fun.
Looks like you were right, Luxregina :) My favorite so far is this one from gay gamer (let the title be a warning!).
Anyway I read a few comments on Reddit about the speed issues.
I take this as evidence that I'm not at fault :)Quote:
I had the same problem. Open the windows task manager and go to the processes tab, right click on firefox.exe (or whatever
browser you're using), click 'set affinity', and make sure you only have one processor turned on.
...
Assuming you have an AMD processor and this is a regular problem for you, try installing the AMD Dual Core Optimizer. It's
basically (in my opinion) a bugfix that synchronizes the counters between the two processors.
I had so many problems that required setting the affinity before I found out about this. Why this isn't done automatically
I'm not sure, but there you have it.
Updating to the latest flash player seems to work too.
Yes, but i don't redraw everything. I keep an array with the tiles of the bitmap and when new tiles are about to be drawn, i check the existing tiles with the new tiles and draw a tile only when the tiles don't match (and update the existing tiles array of course). If i was about to draw everything, CPU time would be around 10-15% higher :-). In my Linux box at least (Flash is considerably slower in Linux, my engine currently takes around 6-10% CPU time in Linux and in Windows never goes beyond 3%).Quote:

Brill Game maybe make it a bit longer :)
Sure :). I just added you to mine!Quote:

By the way the computer that I was on where it did the super fast speed thing was a Intel quad core so it's not on just AMD processors
hatu: yeah I've seen it on Intels too, I meant it's a multi-processor thing
bad_sector: aha, but i don't think the scroller is the problem anyway.
I've used that class in many more projects, and they worked just fine
alillm: Cool! indies helping each other out is a beautiful, beautiful thing :)
random10122: flashkit is the sh*t :grouphug:

Words cannot describe how envious I am of you now.
I put hours of work into writing Bridgerunner! HOURS! You have a guy make a song for you and BLAM! Internet fame.
Seriously though, congrats on your success, it's much deserved.
Sorry bud I wanted to try it but it didn't work for me in Firefox or IE. Keeps jumping screens. Not lag related if you ask me.
Haha, well, his server is down now... Too much traffic? ^_^Quote:

I did a similar song at the end of my *cough* awful *cough* game, Escape From Hartwell, but you did it much better :D
captain_404: thanks! Lion's tits to you too: <3
EvilKris: You need to update your flash player! :)
marmotte: yeah it was down, but I got a new host within
a few hours, so it's all working just fine now
sietjp: hehe :) the comments right here on Flashkit means the most though, this is where my flashing peers & heroes hangs out
al capwn: Cool! I'll try to get to the end, although i'm really crappy at these kind of games :( I'll forward it to Henrik who made the music, maybe he has better luck
Well done Kianis.. It was so fun and the music made a perfect end!
If you agree i would like to feature it on ucanplay.com
Thanks :) Yeah, sure - that would be great!
Mega-bump, but I think this is worth it.

YHTBTR has made the IGF finalists! Congrats/Good luck, Kianis!
Just remember, you couldn't have done it without us! ;)
Thanks Captain! :D I'm so very, very proud.
And I could definitely not have done it without you guys! FK is the sh-t!
I'm studying to become a professional game developer meaning I'm kind of steering away from flash, but even if I'm not as active as I used to be I lurk a lot :)
Noticed that too. Congrats :thumbsup:
Let's hope you win something too
Big congrats mate! Getting to the IGF is every indies dream :).
(and make sure you do stick around here!)

I'm rubbish at this game. I keep firing my axes at the boss, but I can't seem to kill him. If anyone can tell me how to complete "you have to burn the rope" I would be most grateful.
Stumbled upon this in the related videos next to your youtube vid. I dunno about you but I'd be pretty flattered if someone spent the time to make a LBP level after one of my flash games =p

That's damn coolQuote:

I hope that one day you will make a complete platform game from this concept, with many levels where you have to kill the big boss each time.
Thanks a lot guys! :D Anyone going to the IGF/ GDC by the way? I'd love to meet up!
bumpty bump bump.
no award or any amount of cash (well maybe a million bucks) can compare to being immortalized in another uber cool game. check out BTR's very own wikipedia entry;
big congrats kianis. hope ya get the million bucks too. :)Quote:
The game is referenced in a line of dialogue from the 2009 video game Brütal Legend, when the character Mangus explains the solution to a puzzle by yelling "You have to burn the rope!", whereupon the character Eddie Riggs (voiced by Jack Black) declares incredulously "It can't be that simple!"
haha cool
Wow, what an honor! That is absolutely AWESOME! :D
Thank you BlinkOk, I hope I get the million too.
http://www.mazapan.se/games/BurnTheRope.php doesn't work anymore, and I couldn't find a working link from BlinkOK's article. Anyone know where you can still play this?
i luv you google
