Hi all. I recently finished my mouse based battle movement engine for Project BOB (yay!) and I'm starting to notice some stuff. The entire script is run off of a massive HookRetraced script that handles pretty much everything: it blits the cursor to the mouse coordinates, it draws all of my menus and handles clicks on them, it handles all character movement, etc. My development has pretty much been alternating between two computers: the one in my room ( a 900 MHz Celeron, 256 MBs of mem) and one at my work (500 MHz Pentium ?2?, 128 MBs of mem). When I tried to bring the project home to work on, though, I found that it ran pretty slowly when a character tried to move. My home computer is a 400 MHz Celeron with 128 MBs. Anyway, I have two questions: 1) What are some general tips I can use to make the program run faster? 2) Would anyone be willing to try a copy of Project BOB and tell me how it runs on their computer, especially during character movement? I'd like to know how it runs on other systems, and though I was planning on releasing a tech demo soon (after I got a basic attack system and worked on the save program, which I've barely started at all), but if the movement script is too cumbersome to work on any but the fastest systems, I'd like to know so I can try to rebuild it.

Oh yeah, will V3 support multi-dimensional arrays? Just curious.

Thanks. I'm gonna email a zip file to the address under your email button thingy here. Feel free to let me know what happens when you're done.
