Blasting Maniacs - Action packed Space Shooter !

Thanks Emerson3, glad you like it!

I did the explosions with different non animated objects like that:

Everything is moving with formulas, and I put a lot of randomness for colors, sizes, positions...
This method makes a different explosion each time, uses very few different images and is very lightweight because I use black and white images.

For the framerate, It can run at 60fps on a pentium 4 with pretty old graphic card.
I spent many time and used many tricks to optimise all that I can.

For exemple:
-reducing the color number in the application properties
-avoiding fine collisions for most object
-finding some tips to use less fastloops
-preloading big animations to avoid framerate drops on load
-using highly compressed png files
-deleting alpha channels when it isn't necessary
-using small objects and scalling them at runtime when it's possible
-Using many groups into the code and desactivating every line of code that don't need to be used at the time

I probably forget many more things.
