That is seriously smooth, Nick!

No, I've not deliberately changed any shot power - the only difference could be the efficiently of the code.

It stutters for me a lot and still feels like it rolls on forever.

Plus i don't have the java icon on the system tray, and ive just updated it aswell.

I'm not complaining I like it like that, seem to have more control

I'm not experiencing that rolling forever like Damee

You wont get Java in the system tray with Opera, I'm not sure why it showed before. What is your operating system?

EDIT: To view Java console for Opera, go to Tools, Advanced, Java Console.

Think thats enough lol.

Thanks, what Operating System are you using?

Vista

Can you try the demo in another browser?

Ive tried it on chrome, no stuttering but still feels kile they roll forever.

Can you copy the stats again (just send it to me in a PM please).

This is brilliant !!

OK, and finally this one?

I've lowered the FPS down to 35 fps, as for now I just want to fix problems and get it stable. Later we can look at improving things.

No problems for me Nick with regard to freezing/crashing.
Although shot power seems to have gone up a bit, but that might just be me.

Stuttering is back nick and it still looks like they roll forever, guess you can't please us all

Ok, I've had another go (and went back to 6 for comparison), I think I can see what you mean Damee.
It is very slight on my machine, it was however, very pronounced when I tried it logged into normal game window

OS Vista
Browser IE7

Damee, are you saying this is worse than version 6 for you? How does it compare to the live version?

Live version is perfect for me, might not be for everyone else though

Apart from the animation being less smooth (which is obviously to be expected as indicated in your post Nick) this version has no real problems (such as freezing or locking up) that I can find. In fact after a while I got used to the almost imperceptible 'stutter' and went back to Version 6 to check that it wasn't just my imagination in the first place - power of suggestion being a wonderful thing). So in a nutshell, Version 7 seems as stable as Version 6 in my case.

Right, hopefully that's the best of both worlds, it uses the best parts of the smooth animation from earlier and should adapt acceptably cross-browser / machine (except possibly for Java 1.4...)
