Microphone Posted July 20th, 2008 in Audio

OK. So I got a new microphone, its pretty decent. An AKG. I have one problem though.
I hate how I sound. Any programs you guys know of to change pitch and such of voice, or add effects as you record?

Well. I got it to fall and bounce, and i can drag it, after re-writing it. but i still have the problem of it falls when i drag it. and i cant let go of it.

Formating Posted July 16th, 2008 in Game Development

Im attempting to create a simple game that when you pick the ball up it falls down, and can interact with other objects. I'm not the greatest at AS, but physics sims have always fasinated me so i wanted to learn there.
Heres my code.

on(press){
	startDrag(this);
}
on(release){
	stopDrag();}
grav = 0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
gravguy._y += grav;
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
grav--;
} else if (gravguy._y<527-gravguy._height) {
grav++;
}
if (grav>0 && gravguy._y>527-gravguy._height) {
gravguy._y = 527-gravguy._height;
grav = 0;
}
if (gravguy._y<200) {
grav = 0;
gravguy._y = 200;
}
}

Snowball turret. Sends in a straight line and hits multiple enemys, and after x enemys explodes, causes splash damage and slows them down. For upgrades, the ball can get larger, wich is more splash, and can take more enemys.

Which is all server side based(php mysql). You may also run into some licensing issues, those artists sure do love their royalties! Which may involve negotiation with record labels/song owners. You might want to check out www.pandora.com as they do something similar to this, same with youtube. I dont think the real challenge lies within the fact of creating the sufficient architecture to create a project like this but if it's open to the public the real challenge lies with the legalities of letting users upload somebody else's work and have other people listen to it. If you do this you would need to separate yourself somehow from what these people are doing. So you wont get sued.

Well, I think we'll have users sign up on the site and agree, that all songs uploaded, are legaly owned by them, and that we're just the middle man. Its not like the songs can be downloaded.

Coding question. Posted June 18th, 2008 in Game Development

I'm doing a project, that i know is a bit excentric, but we want to do it anyway.
What it is, is an mp3 player, pretty much like iTunes, that people will be able to upload, and we have a chosen site, and people will be able to listen to on any computer. I know this is going to take a bit of work, but what kind of code will i need? Php, and Mysql, and obvioulsy AS, right?
If anyone could clear this up, i'd be very grateful.

equalizer Posted May 28th, 2008 in Game Development

I was wondering what it would take AS wise to make a visual EQ. My idea for the project is: people can select the EQ they want, and upload a song, and see what it looks like. Louder songs would have a red color, and slower, quieter songs would be blue. Plus have different effects to choose from.

Fruit Loops Posted April 26th, 2008 in Audio

I just dl'd it, and i got used to the layout and such already, but can someone explain to me how, and if there is anyway to 'record' your loop, so it would be longer, around 1:30?

Fruity Loops Posted April 26th, 2008 in Audio

I just got it, and I'm pretty used to the controls, but I'm confused on recording. Is it possible to take your loop, record it in FL to make it a .wav thats like 1:45 long?

well i meant css as, Cascading Style Sheets not a counter strike game. im sure you understand the difference but i guess it best to be clear.

At 3/26/08 12:59 PM, Cojones893 wrote: Ok so I whipped this up. You can do this a number of ways, but what I choice was to make buttons labeled a_btn, b_btn, c_btn. I have a for loop that runs through an array of my button names. This prevents having to repeatedly add onPress functions for each button. It then removes the first letter of the button name and applies that to a variable 'pressed'. After each press it runs a function that checks for "combinations". All you need is a new case for each combination. And you're all set.

var btnArray:Array = new Array(a_btn, b_btn, c_btn);// add buttons here.
var pressed:String = "";
for (var i = 0; i<btnArray.length; i++) {
btnArray[i].onPress = function() {
pressed += this._name.substr(0, 1);
checkComplete();
};
}

function checkComplete() {
if (pressed.length == 3) {
switch (pressed) {
case "abc" :
trace("ABC was pressed");
break;
case "bac" :
break;
case "cab" :
break;
default :
trace("No match found");
}
pressed="";
}
}

Ok, I understand how this works, i have one of the buttons set up, but I can't seem to figure out how to make the acctual object show up with out adding an ass load of MC's which make it a total mess. Is there anything i can put under the a_btn line to do this?

Help! Posted March 26th, 2008 in Game Development

I'm making a GROW tribute game. Would it be possible to make series of AS that one a certain series of buttons is pushed in the right order, a certain scene is played. So say you have 3 options, if you click 1,2,3. it plays the scene and leads to the victory scene, but if you do 213 it leads to a half finished scene.

I was wondering, how would someone go about making a GROW type game. I wanted to make one in tribute to the guy who made the originals, for I think he isnt making them anymore. He said they were only projects for his college classes in Japan. If anyone wants to help me on this, or even join me, my e-mail is : Ldcknome@hotmail.com

Response to: Animator/aser Seekers Thread Posted January 12th, 2008 in Game Development

-Hi, im James(1337-lock)
-Im a hybrid ^.^ I like to mingle in both As and animating, but prefer animation.
-I'd say my skill level in animation would be about a 3.5 and As a 3.
-Im looking for a Actionscriptor
-Im currently working on a DDR Project. It would involve heavy metal songs, instead of the usual techno and trance, and would invoke the use of wasd keys to hit special notes (ex to clear a bomb or something along those lines)

Response to: Ddr Game Posted November 17th, 2007 in Game Development

I know that AS is based on C, but the format is much different, like command wise.
Heres an example of C++
#include<iostream.h>
int main()
{
int var;
cout<<"Enter a number: ";
cin>>var;
do
{
cout<<"\n"<<var;
return 0;
}
while (var==var);
return0;
}
