OpenBOR (Open Beats of Rage) is an open source engine to play Beats of Rage. Beats of Rage is a freeware open source video game and modifiable game engine made by Senile Team and inspired by Sega’s classic Streets of Rage series. The term “modifiable” means that the program allows users to create their own content, and thus their own beat-’em-up game, which is then called a “mod”.

So, instead of working on collision today like I intended I ended up working on optimization of the code using Mesen’s awesome debugger and event viewer. I wasn’t feeling comfortable with the performance we were seeing in NMI and worked to get a better understanding of what was going on so that we can get our collision running in a later stream.
