hey, thanks for the replies. actually i''ve done tons of changes (got lots of help on "another" forum).
like motion blur, locked fps, using setClip instead, no object creation in game loop, uses look-up tables everywhere, pre-rotated the images, upgraded to 1.4 instead of downgrading to 1.1 (1.1 is really old and who use, lets say, dx3 nowadays?? i made my point) and lots of other minor changes.
i''ll upload the latest version tomoz.
i''ll check out that link right away
i''ll keep you updated.
