Hi guys, even though I have little time especially now I have game developer as a job(I guess some of you would love to have a job like that. I must be lucky).
In my spare time however I'm working on a remake of my old Commander Keen game that I made in Div Games Studio many, many years ago. This time I make it entirely in C++ from scratch. The graphics were easy to do, so was the background music, but now i'm in the progress of adding collission detection which needs some thorough coding to make sure it works correctly.

Also I need to find a way what to do with the increase in framerate since I have improved on knowledge of algorithms and computers have been increased in speed a lot(plus I use openGL hardware acceleration instead of slow software rasterizers). Windowed I get framerates ranging from 5000 to 23000 which is quite high compared to when I made the original who ran on 25 fps and I really had a hard time to reach that framerate constantly. I can add a frame limiter but then I'm wasting tons of FPS plus I can use extra frames to make movement smoother. I still have to look at that.
