I have a better idea. LR in C runs fine with 0 or 10k lines. I don't need to do things for performance reasons lol

I could do this, but the sols won't work on previous versions. Maybe a password system that the creator only knows. But again, no forward compatibility with standard 6.7.

Don't know if that causes a lot of lag when getting your scenery back tho but it should be like loading.
Well, If it was to literally delete all those lines, it would be less lag, but it could overload the cache, crash flash, and possibly memory leak the ram, causing blue screen of death or the equivalent for macs. If I was to make playback so they came up as white, then lag would still be there, but the lines won't show up.
I know I'm being pessimistic, but you have to look for these things to make sure nothing fails.

Why would you want them to? You're supposed to be making the future, not providing for the past. Beta 1 doesnt work with Beta 2, and theres no reason your future version should work with 6.x. My builds only ever tried to be forward compatible (they ended up failing in fringe cases due to decompiler errors anyway lol) because back when I started out there was a huge amount of resistance to changing ANYTHING in LR at all. Nowadays, there's a lot more tolerance in the community (if you think this thread is bad you should have seen some of the discussions back a few years ago when I wrote 6.3 and 6.6/6.7), so as long as your build provides a big win in terms of usability and performance, people won't care that the tracks don't work in 6.7. Really, if your build is good enough, you're going to make people not want to use 6.7 anymore so you shouldn't cater for forwards compatibility.

You don't know what you're talking about.
Firstly, Flash code can't leak memory - the player sure can (and it does like a sieve), but you have no control over that. It's a garbage collected environment, so it's impossible to leak due to programmer error like it is in compiled languages like C.
Secondly, what cache? There is no "cache" in Flash.
Thirdly, you just don't render them if you don't want them there (its in panel.playB.onPress(), just add a condition to the render loop that you only render if the linetype is < 2), but they'll still hog memory. If you want to accept a small slowdown when erasing you could look at having a second grid for scenery lines with a bigger grid size so lines occupy less memory in it. The grid is the biggest source of LR's RAM use. Additionally, it's easy as hell to loop through the line array and just drop all scenery lines. The only problem is waiting for them to reload when you want them back.
In all honesty, you're sounding like you're trying to get out of things because you don't know how to do them.
FYI, the ultimate pinnacle of performance for scenery is creating bitmap tiles and rendering scenery lines onto them. Bitmap operations are super cheap in
In recent C updates, I have multithreading working.

Yay on C development, just askin, but do you have an ETA on a beta build?
Also what ever happened to that LR server thing you showed me and we messed around on?

I literally have no idea where the server source is right now. Oops.
Also, I'm not making the mistake of giving an ETA anymore. I'm working as fast as I can, once I get things working then I'll open up and preview them in my own time. I want to leave a damn good first impression with this build.
Re: Can someone please code this for line rider like now? (If possible)
Oops is all you have to say for your self , you infadel you .
Also okie dokie, but still I want to beta test it when there's a beta

Early builds are gonna be Mac only because I'm doing my primary dev work on a Mac. Only once I get a stable enough build and I'm ready to consider making a release will I write the Windows specific hooks and get it working on Windows.
Then I'll get it going on everything under the sun.

Well then I guess I must make a hacintosh.

I do know how to do this, but Ive done more things than just flash, so naturally the parts in my brain that deal with non-flash come in and f-things up. stupid adhd..... When I said cache, I was refferencing to basically a "Bank" that can store these lines for later. Any who, I guess I will create the password system and incorporate non-visible green lines. Seeing as though the grid uses the mist ram, will decreasing the number alter anything to a significant point? cause If we can make it so it uses less ram, the flash will run much faster.
EDIT: AND WHEN ARE ME AND MHENR GONNA GET THAT SPECIAL SUBFORUM WE"VE REQUESTED?!?!?!?!?! THIS IS CLOGGING STUFF UP!
Re: Can someone please code this for line rider like now? (If possible)
I bet when the C/C#/C+/whatever C mhenr is using comes out anybody will play on the flash version due to better performance on the new one .

You still have to technically download the flash version.
I count downloading the standalone player then downloading the game itself downloading the game .
Plus the C version as mhenr said won't have performance issues like the flash game, and also I bet it will fix the cross compatibility for macs and pcs for tracks.

Definitely.

EXCITING
By the way I figured since everyone is in this thread anyway, could someone be so kind as to show me where I could learn this kind of coding? The most I've ever done was html and I'm still learning the basics of it x) that would be awesome.

C/C#/C+ is hard to learn tbh, I am still trying to learn it via a book called Learning XNA 4.0.
I heard if you learn PHP first it will be much easier to learn the c languages later on.

For the flash version: You need a copy of flash. You need a decompiler. You need to know Action Script 2.
I would recommend you making your physics game. Risking my neck this far is a little unsettling.
Re: Can someone please code this for line rider like now? (If possible)
Wizzy, you don't just "learn coding". You only ever learn to program because you want to do something, and you learn the appropriate language for the task (for me it was mod LR, so I learnt AS2 initially because that's what I needed to know to work with LR).
There's so much out there on the net that now is a better time than ever before to get into programming
Also, is there anyone on IRtL who's good with font design (particularly pixel fonts)? I wouldn't mind if someone could lend me a hand with fixing up the in-game font - it's a tad messy at times.

Re: Can someone please code this for line rider like now? (If possible)
can't we just use a default font like arial or times new roman? I don't think the font will be particuarly game-breaking

Re: Can someone please code this for line rider like now? (If possible)
Two things.
1. Those fonts are two of the most hideously disgusting fonts to ever be created. They're shameless rips of Helvetica and Times, and they don't even half get it right.
2. Because I want this to be cross-platform and run on systems regardless of installed fonts, I'm distributing a custom bitmap font derived from Google's public domain PT Sans. I just need someone to clean it up a tad - it's fine as is but it could be better.
