Omnom...

...And here I am in the early morning once again. What can I say? Apparently I'm nocturnal. Anyway this is another update on Nom. Fixed a couple of things that were bugging me that most people wouldn't notice. On another note I found a similarity between the way I teach people things and the way I debug. Really interesting, actually. They're actually the same process. Probably why I like teaching, too.

SO. Things fixed:
1. The slowdown and its cause, a memory leak, has been patched.
2. Collision-detection has been improved. While not pixel perfect, It's a significant improvement over the basic hitTestObject function I was using. Actually its still just a hitTestObject call, but...well...I'll leave the debug mode in the release so you clever people can figure it out.
3. Not really so much as a fix as a change. The movement has been changed from a direct method to an additive one. This isn't so much a change to the game as a change to its engine, as it still functions the same way. In the future it'll facilitate different speeds of player movement. Maybe a timewarp power-down or something.
