One thing I always had problems with on Escape 2 years ago was smoothing movement from tile to tile. So I decided with all the experiance I gained over the years it should be easy, and it was, so within a half hour I added it.

Can someone with an older system (300_600MHZ) please test it real quick for me? here is the new link and the old version to compare it to

http://nuclearnova.com/escape1.7.4.sit - New

I just want to make sure it doesn't get worse for older systems.

I've got a 400 Mhz G3. I do notice a difference, instead of jumping from tile to tile, when I hit a key the guy moves two "half tiles". It isn't very smooth, but it is different.

Sometimes when I hit a key nothing happens.

Thanks, thats all I needed to know. On my 1GHZ iBook I am getting like 15-25 FPS, and for it to run 100% smooth it needs 16 FPS (remember it was programmed 2 years ago in METAL). I will probably release it tomorrow on the download sites and if all goes well I will replace that version on the MacAddict CD I will be on next month with my 2 games :)
