we are 2 friends from Costa Rica trying to build a game engine. The server is made in node.js, all the actionscript code is made by us with no dependency and we sync the sprites and config files using dropbox. -- Feedback is always welcome...

it moves slow for me...

[calufa]

...like everything is running slow because of cpu (framerate problems), or is more like the character moves too slow...?

[jameswyse]

It's more that the game feels unresponsive, pressing left or right takes a few seconds for the character to move, and when there are many enemies on screen you can't move him at all.

maybe some framerate issues, I am aware I need to compress more the imgs to improve it... I will work on that... -- thanks!

[jameswyse]

It's something to do with CPU usage, on my core i7 flash is using 90% CPU.

Maybe you have to look at how often you're updating the screen, I'm not very familiar with ActionScript but it feels like there's a constant loop running as fast as it can, is it possible to use an event based system to update the screen instead?

[calufa]

-- well yeah, its a cpu thing, we may need to lower the kb size on the imgs that made up the sprites, and less fps I guess... we need to do more optimization...
