p.s. I know there isn't an animation for when you move; I'm making new sprites now that aren't stolen from another game (which will remain nameless...)

Pretty good for a second game.

The only thing I dont like that is the jumpy movement. Would be better (i think) if you made the movement smoother maybe?

oh I see.

Why did you decide to do it like that?

at start I can hear my GPU and then my cooler going wild

meaning this isnt running at 60 fps but rather full speed
please fix =D

Runs fine at 7000FPS

It is still possible to do smooth movement in a 2D grid world. You just have to interpolate between the old point and the new point.

It's simple, you get the distance in X and Y between the new point and old point and divide each by the number of ticks you want to move the sprite then store each value in X and Y velocity variables. Each frame you add the X and Y velocity to the X and Y until you reached the new point.

For example, the player is at (50,50) and needs to go to (30,40) in 10 frames, the difference is (20,-10) divided by 10 = (2,-1). That's your velocity per frame.

Ah so each cell is 15x15. Then change your player coordinates to pixels and then divide by 15 to get the cell.

Having it yield is not going to slow down the while loop. there is no reason to have a while loop running at the max speed your computer can process at.

Having it do that, will just have it completely consume your computers processing power and on a lot of computers people will get "lagg" from this and
possibly other issues.
So you really do need to add a delay in your while loop.
I suggest having it just sleep for about 25 millis.

To put this into perspective. your game, which is extremely small and hardly any math calculations and collision detection going on is
making my gaming rig use 30% of its processing power. Where is my current game "Epic Stubble Man" has a ton more math calculations
and collision detection going and its using only 1% of my total processing power.

lol woops my bad. let me fix that.

Nice! Great job

Very nice mate, kind'o like a 'snake' remake
