Weird... on my Axim it shows the little wait cursor whenever it refreshes a frame. Is that how it should be?

Yeah I wrote it in eVB, so that little damn wait cursor appears whenever it lags. I did a ton of research trying to figure out how to disable it but with no luck. My new game Fugitive 2330, is being wrote in an eVB add-on called ASpriteCE and it uses GAPI so it's superfast and that wait cursor never appears. Maybe one of these days, when I get time, I will rewrite Smash A Skull with that control, so it will be alot faster and that wait cursor will not appear. Right now though, I'm focusing on my space shooter (which is coming along very nicely).

Yeah, like I said it's coming along nicely. Fett56, if you want to play Smash A Skull, buy it. It's only 3 bucks and you will not be disapointed.

Tech,

Do you know if ASprite CE works with NSBasic?? I would be surprised if it didn't considering how similar NSB is to eVB, but you know what they say when you "ASSUME"

Well, I just read that NSB is NOT compatible with ASprite CE.

It looks like I assumed too much :oops:

Yeah it's a pretty simple game. I spent more time drawing all the graphics (those ten different 240x320 backgrounds took me forever), than the code. It was a learning experience though, and the knowledge I gained from Smash A Skull is helping me alot in my new game.

Not many, only 5 copies. I had like 400+ demo downloads, so I recently pulled the demo from Handango and PocketGear to see if that would bring in more sales. You can still find the demo at if you want to try before you buy.

The new links for Smash A Skull are:

I thought it was pretty sweet. The little processing ce dohickey gets annoying, but I realise there's nothing you can do about that.
