(Not so) Final speed increases finished

Frog Feast plays at near full speed. I further optimized a lot of the lower level assembly language drawing code; in addition the C code was also optimized in critical places. The results should run well on any CD-I player. I also cleaned up a lot of the little bugs remaining. I still have a few remaining bug; and I need to get a second controller working and get music and sound working. I would like to have this ready for OlderGames by the end of next week.

A new demo is on the CD-I page. Although two player mode can be selected, only one joystick is currently read. Also, this version has the flies disabled, so you cannot get any points. In one player mode the second frog will jump around.

In an e-mail exchange with CD-i Fan, it sounds like there will be some CD-i systems that won't support a second joystick using a splitter.

Those systems not supporting a splitter all have a second pointing device port anyway...

This is good news. The two player option wasn't as hard to implement as I thought it would be.
