It's ALWAYS possible to gain something somewhere.[/i] FWIW I counted 22 lines in your script:[code]// pseudo code /* 01 / variables initialization / 02 / onkeydown if / 03 / onkeydown if statement / 04 / onkeyup if / 05 / onkeyup if statement / 06 / init_level if#1 / 07 / init_level if#1 statement / 08 / init_level if#2 / 09 / init_level if#2 statement / 10 / init_level setTimeout / 11 / start_level if#1 / 12 / start_level if#1 statement / 13 / start_level if#2 / 14 / start_level if#2 statment / 15 / animate if / 16 / animate if statement / 17 / animate else / 18 / animate else statement / 19 / move statement / 20 / test statement / 21 / walk statement / 22 */ update statement[/code]But many/most of the [i]if, statement[/i] and [i]if, statement, else, statement[/i] can be combined in a single line. For instance the keydown/keyup handling can be a one liner. See how I did in [url=http://www.p01.org/releases/DHTML_contests/files/20lines_castle_wolfenstein/]Castle Wolfenstein[/url]. You also be lazy as I've been about the new level "screen" and use an [i]alert( 'Yay for level #'+ level )[/i] which allow you to use a single [i]setInterval( updateGame, delay );[/i] instead of juggling with a [i]setTimeout[/i] and a [i]setInterval[/i] as you do now. I could provide the skeleton of a game if you want.
