Re: [Enigma-devel] another bug - this one in it-trigger

Hi Andrzej,

thank you for all your bug reports.

You're right, that's a bug I introduced a few days ago.  It also
affected the behaviour of doors: marbles could stand halfway inside a
closing door without getting crushed.  Both problems should be fixed
now.

That's a longstanding problem, and fixing it properly would require a
major rewrite of the display engine.  The transparent shadows look nice,
but drawing them is relatively slow.  Additionally, Enigma's current
display update code is far from optimal.  I fixed it somewhat since RC1,
but there's still room for improvement.

> Why doesn't the laser beam go through it-switch ?

Because both lasers and triggers are implemented as items, and every
field in the world can hold no more than one item.  No easy fix for this
one, sorry.

Applied, thanks.

Cheers,
