so, you did write some code to test JPS and find out is is slower than ASTAR or you just think it is slower?

Congrats on the game, but can't you post some screenshots or even videos?

 

i think you are doing it wrong.

 

 

var currentMouseState = Mouse.GetState();
var lastMouseState = currentMouseState;

 

this is wrong, should be 

 

 

var lastMouseState = currentMouseState;
var currentMouseState = Mouse.GetState();
 
if (lastMouseState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed && currentMouseState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Released){
...
}

I don't think that'll work. 

 

var lastMouseState = currentMouseState;
var currentMouseState = Mouse.GetState();

 

That's saying that you are assigning (and declaring) lastMouseState and assigning it currentMouseState. But.. that's not even declared yet. 2nd line is "var currentMouseState" and assigns that variable "Mouse.GetState();" which means.. you would be assigning a variable that isn't even declared yet to a new variable. So that would most likely throw an error.

currentMouseState is initialized when it is declared, as follows: 

protected MouseState lastMouseState;
protected MouseState currentMouseState = Mouse.GetState();

and the code i posted is placed in the Update method. furthermore this statement

if (newState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed && oldState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Released)

is wrong, at least the logic is wrong. 

great job! i really liked your screenshots on your site!
