OK, some of you have seen my airplane game before. Anyways, I was adding powerups, and after some extra code for them, there was a strange problem. When I clicked "play game" in the menu, my computer started behaving like it had 512 BYTES of RAM. Like, it was REALLY slow. The music was on and off, and really strange. It took about a minute for the game to minimize after the Windows key was pressed, and I was forced to use the power button, because my computer froze completely when I tried to close out. This happened several times. However, now that I remed out all of the powerup code, the game works wonderfully! What is wrong? The website has the .dba, media, and .exe for download.

maybe you inadvertantly committed some form of a stack overflow by having a routine accidentally call itself, or something in the game loop is happening every pass as opposed to once in a while - I'd reinspect the code that was added, but trace where it goes as well.
Painful without a proper debugger but alas it must be done.

HOLY CRAP, USE SOME FOR LOOPS!
for i = 1 to 10
offset sprite i,20000,20000
next i


for i =1 to 10
if sprite hit(24,i)
hide sprite i
show sprite i+1
else
hide sprite i
show sprite i+1
endif
next i
endif

See, simple. I hated myself when I found out I could do this =P

PS: WEB1000.com + smartftp

WILL THE PEOPL NEVER FIGURE OUT THAT THINGS LIKE GOOGLE AND HELP FILES EXIST?????????????????

DANGIT NEO, YOU CHANGED THE CODE AND NOW THE MATRIX WONT TEXTURE RIGHT.

that happens to me sometimes, i think the thing gets corrupted. copy the code, paste it into a different file, add a rem or something just to change it and save it as a differen file, then it works.
