	In Response To: Re: Jason Jones interview (M-Class) Q. What sort of things did you do to improve game performance? You mention the look-up tables. Were there other techniques, such as using CopyBits() for blitting to the screen, or color palette management? A. Not really. we do use CopyBits()- that might be an interesting piece of trivia. We have a lot of 68k assembly code. At the moment, the game doesn't have any PowerPC assembly code. We're relying on the compiler to make our code look good. Q. What development tools did you use? A. We use MPW exclusively. Q. What was the reason for using MPW? Better code optimizations, or just that you were familiar with the environment? A. Better code optimazation. It's also what we happen to be familiar with. We know MPW and have a lot of time invested into MPW scripts and tools. MPW is much more expandable, and it's a more versatile system.
