Delta Game Engine v0.0.6.B r101

>>> DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION <<<

Features:

• New High-Precision Physics Engine!! (this is the last time I have to recode it, I swear)
• Surfaces are made up of one-way lines and it is now EXTREMELY STABLE (about 97% stable).
• Engine handles transferring from line to line and traces DK as he moves along each line.
• Supports DK walking over small cliffs and bumps in the surfaces (by SNES default, this has a 10 pixel effect range).
• Although not all of the bugs are fixed yet, the engine is being designed to stop all possible clipping glitches.
• DK can jump (infinite jumps allowed), run, and walk. The speed values used are precisely that of DKC SNES!

Controls:

• Use the typical SNES control setup for this: B to jump, Y to run, and +Pad to move.
• Press R to reverse the gravity and do some platforming upside down!
• L2 and L buttons lock DK to the nearest X offset that's a multiple of 16 or 8 pixels, respectively.
• Hit the X button to toggle Frame-by-Frame mode:
  • Press R2 to advance one frame (be sure to press any other buttons you need to, at the exact same time you press this).
  • Press and hold A to advance frames.

Other Controls:
To control the screen parameters, you can use the numpad keys:
From numlock to 3 in a rectangle are the anchor switches;
+ and - change the scale;
0 and decpoint change the mode.
Also: F11 for full screen, Alt+F11 to try 800x600, and Ctrl+F11 to try 640x480.

Delta Game Engine v0.0.6.B r36

>>> DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION <<<

Features:

• Massive Input Upgrade.
• Only P1 detects input so far!
• Device hot plugging is possible if your input device is USB based.
• DELTA does its own print screens, saves to "ScreenShots" folder.
• Cheat detection test (keyboard only so far).
• In-game mouse cursor is now working.
• Added Ctrl+F11 and Alt+F11 features.
• Several full-screen minimize bugs hunted down. Thanks for testing, VideoViking!
• Ni.DLL is no longer needed for operation.
• DELTA reduces CPU usage upon minimize or going out of focus.

NOTE: CPU saving features will not work on all computers and/or every single time. There can be some optimizer programs that will either screw with the processor or play tricks on DELTA's focus detection heuristics. It can sometimes result in DELTA spinning the CPU while not in focus, so be forewarned.

Delta Game Engine v0.0.6.B r14

>>> DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION <<<

Features:

• Added a check for single-core, and if so, it disables the timing core lock and thread priority adjustment.

After running this version several times on my old computer, it seems that although this adjustment removed the massive slowdown issues, the timing for taking input from the keyboard/mouse/gamepad just went down the toilet.
