.cab's are something completely different in grownup Windows, which is why winzip tries to do silly things with them :lol:

BUG report:

if you press pause whilst turning, when you unpause the car spins on the spot until you press the key that turns in that direction and then release it

I'm guessing that you have flags showing which way the car is turning, and don't allowing clear them whilst the game is paused - probably better to just clear them all whilst the game is paused

UPDATE: just tested this with accelerate/brake as well - and the same thing happens

this is probably to do with how Windows CE handles keys, the same thing happens in gnuboy

When someone presses a key you catch a WM_KEYDOWN event, when they release it you get a WM_KEYUP event. So if the keydown is in game, but then it's paused so the keyup is out of game, when you resume it's confused.

I spose you could reset all keyboard flags when resuming, but it's not really a big deal.

PS, windows will sometimes get confused in the same way, you have to press whatever key it's confused about to "reset" it

I had the same problem in pacman as well until I abandoned the windows message system - it's too unreliable for games

I ended up testing the key state for each key, every game cycle using GetAsyncKeyState

not as efficient as the windows messaging method, but FAR more reliable

I know it's only Beta - but one small point - icon doesn't show in 32x32 size MRU :lol:

I have even tried to be number 3, but still it said i was number 1? maybe its when you finish in the same second?

An other cool feature would be if you could upload your best times through GPRS like in the Snake2 game.. :wink:

When I play the game the framerate drops about every 2 or 3 seconds. I have experienced this too when writing game for SP, a little tip for you, raise the priority of the game to ABOVE_NORMAL and you will lose it, though you must remember to lower it again when there is an incoming call etc. and then raise it again when you return to the game. You will also have to make sure that you sleep at least 2(that works for me) every tick.

Otherwise, great looking game..!
