@hachi @ArdainianRight I love how that baby is very uncomfortable in that video thumbnail. Almost like if children are born knowing what is and isn't natural.

@ArdainianRight You broke the most important hashtag.

Oh, I've also replaced one large if-else statement with a switch statement. I think that might help with performance. Contrary to popular belief, a switch statement and an if-else statement do not compile the same way. if-else uses branching instructions (constantly checking for and calculating conditions) while a switch statement uses a lookup table.

@waltercool Why would you care? I thought you were an atheist.

@waltercool You can still find traditional churches at (Christian) college campuses. Cathedrals are still traditional. Catholics seem to be the only ones who still care about traditional church designs. Baptists are usually the most boring. Just white boxes.

@waltercool The Spanish one actually looks kind of cool.

@LukeAlmighty Thanks. Now, going off from your deleted post (not offended btw), I just realized that not everyone has a middle name, which may be a problem.

Added name (initials) entry to the high score table, as in you can change the characters around, but can't save the highscores, yet.

@beardalaxy I hope ToTK didn't suddenly give you any ideas.

@10grans beg

Maybe it did fix the lag, but only slightly. I've also rearranged some if-statements, which also seemed to help.

Regardless, if you drive slowly enough, eventually all the cars in the level will appear on-screen at once because the only start moving once they are fully onscreen and will only disappear once they are on the bottom of the screen. So you will eventually get lag. But nobody is going to play the game that way so who cares?

Unlike my previous game, enemies do have some sort of AI, as opposed to just having patterns. Naturally, there are a few state machines and lot of if-statements even for this basic AI, but that's also because of poor planning. Some could be turned into switch statements.

Also, having a mine car does increase difficulty, a little bit. So, I probably won't need that much more cars on screen.

Anyway, the game is coming along nicely and quickly regardless. Like the last game, don't expect anything ground-breaking, just something that would be fun for a couple of minutes.
