Hi Marky Mark, yes the model I made was overkill (file size/faces) but on my system is still getting 30 fps. I added a third or middle sprite to the code which if turned off should increase fps. The model itseft could have half as many cubes and look the same. I still don't know what I'm doing yet

. As for sprite color I colored the sprites themselves in the screen shot.
I also added randomness to sprite size which I think looks nice.
Thanks again for the code and exaple level, this is fun stuff.

PS: I also turned off the standard background horizon.pcx not sure if this helps with fps.
Edit: Ok I found an error in what I uploaded the code my.skill1 = 0; should be commented out. That should return frame rate to correct levels. I'll update my zip file.
