Then say that. What you said, however, was that you haven't found anyone who could match your intellectual skill. Not just your peers, but everyone you've met.

There are probably thousands of people younger than you that are have more intellectual skill. You just haven't met them.

Not a bad engine, but wouldn't it be better if the enemies were to come after you, rather than move randomly?

Religion says !
So what ?
What if religion is WRONG.

If you're referring to certain religions are wrong while others are right, then it would be the believer's job to not just blindly follow a religion because of what everyone says about it, but to read the texts, see what the religion says and preaches for, see why it preaches for what it does. And compare them, see which seems to be the most plausible one.

You can't have that if you follow one particular religious belief.

And even if you're following a religion that is incorrect, (in islam atleast) as long as you believe in God, and do not break basic rules of religion (like stealing, adultery, drinking alcohol, not praying) then you're all good. Because in essence you'll find that most religions (here I am referring to Judaism, Christianity and Islam) pretty much say the same thing, or very similar things. Some parts may have been lost/edited to bad translations and over time, but the basic structure is there.

Well, I was simply trying to get the topic at hand finished before moving on to another argument. But..

God never says exactly why he is testing his creation. He only says that he created humans and Jinn (i believe the correct translation of that would be demons) to worship God and to cultivate and explore the earth. Why He created the universe and is testing us? It's just never said.

Isn't that what Christians WANT anyway? They want everyone to share their belief in their God so they don't go to hell and burn and be punished and all that shiz? Don't they want to give heaven to everyone? Or is it more like they want heaven to be a more exclusive cool kids club?

That's what the people want. But it is not the way God intended it. Sure they're going to try and get as many people to believe in their religion, but there is always that doubt in the atheists group that makes following you're religion an actual challenge.

The rich example stinks. Not all the rich give to the poor or are defined by such an act. Rich people are defined by having more money then average. Yes you can't have police without criminals but again...the fuck does that really have to do with God? It opens up again the whole can of "why does a loving God allow crime and badness? The hell is the point of that?" You're just putting out the same vague arguments that always come up when a theist debates those points, confident seemingly that either there's a sea of like minded folks who will go "that makes perfect sense" or just that conviction has the power to make it sound more true and logical. It doesn't work that way, try again :)

why does a loving God allow crime and badness

As I said, since God created life as a test, all of what happens in the world, it's all a test. When let's say a thief, who steals and kills, gets a very happy life, never gets caught, gets married and has a happy life and die happily. And then there's a poor guy, who didn't want to resort to stealing, lived his life in misery and poverty while believing in God. He was then blamed to have stolen/killed somebody and died in prison...

Now in that example, it would be very hard to see that thief, who has broken all the rules, and lives happily ever after, while the other, trying to stay true to God, has lived a horrible miserable life. So that guy believing in God is tested at this point. If he's stayed true to God throughout his life, then all the suffering he endured would equal great pleasures in heaven. While obviously, the other would go to hell.

Just because you believe in God and he loves you, doesn't mean that protects you from what happens on earth. All of this is test. Hell, the more you're a good follower of God, the more you could be tested. And furthermore, God doesn't "love us all", and he's not punishing us for past sins. He only loves his followers, and any "punishments" that could happen would be an opportunity in disguise, an opportunity to gain more in the end.

Except when he creates an earth which has the occasional mass murdering tsunami. Then the test thingy rather than "God just wants to love us" makes more sense. Hard to love somebody who watches you die as a result of his past actions

Explained in the above paragraph.

God created evil because good cannot exist without an opposite. How can you not understand that?

Exactly that as well.

Yeah thanks Jack. God can break all the rules of logic, except for ones that currently exist and run contrary to the usual definitions of God.

In other words, God can do anything, except where it's convenient to say that he can't.

God created those rules, and he could remove them. But wouldn't that then mess up the world and be a paradox?

You've gotten so many people to make animations for this little collab, most of actually good quality, but you have yet yo show that your animation is actually worth everyone's time. Will you please post the animation that all of this is for on spamtheweb or something?

Besides, according to the forum rules, you're not qualified to host a collab. Even though you don't call this a collab, multiple authors working on something to be put together would qualify it as a collab.

I can see how you're thinking... I think. When you say "player._y -= 0" you don't set the players speed to 0, you just get the player pushed 0 pixels, so in other words, nothing happens. Change all the 0's in the wall code to 5 and it should work.

Except for one other thing. You said that once it hits the wall, it will move in all directions at once. You have to use shapeFlag hitTest to say that when it hits from the right, it gets pushed away, and same for all sides.

Well, as religion states the point of life is test you. Without going through the "Why are we even being tested?" argument, if we go with that former view on life, then if there were conclusive proof that God existed, then that's it. There won't be a shred of doubt left, and everyone would follow and worship God. There must always be those people who don't believe. It's like how rich people would need poor people to give charity money to, or how police would be jobless without criminals. It's all set up as a test, to always keep you thinking.

At 11/12/09 01:41 AM, aviewaskewed wrote: But again, this statement betrays some inherent bias's you hold:

1. You are Muslim
2. As such you believe yours is the true and correct religion (and since it's a tenet of your faith that you believe such, I pass no disparaging judgment on you for such. Just trying to make a factual statement)

Indeed, that is why I am here, to debate my beliefs, see what the opposite sides say, see if I can convince or be convinced.

3. Because you are a Muslim, and you believe your faith to be the true faith, and the central tenents of beliefs are not mere stories but the way the world is, you'd fall into the example I gave about the big bang. You are able to take scientific theory and believe in it as a fact...but you then have to weld it back into the ultimate architect of that being your personal God. Which is not a scientifically reached conclusion because you can't prove your personal God is factual. Does that make sense?

If you don't prove something to be factual, you can't claim it is part of something that is. It's possible sure, but until it's proven, it can't be used to turn a statement like "The Big Bang Theory is the correct origin of the Universe" into a statement like "The Big Bang Theory is the correct origin of the instrument that God used to create the Universe". Am I being clear at all? I hope I am, I spent some time with this one dangs it, and I'm not sure I could boil it down anymore, lol.

Thing is, the Qur'an never explains exactly how the universe was created. So I could never say that God set off the big bang as a fact. That's not the point. What I'm trying to say is that, The Big Bang theory, is a fact. God set it off, is my belief.

Religion is based on faith, if God was to be proven, 100% cold hard proof of his existence, it would defeat the entire purpose of religion. Only a fool wouldn't believe in religion then.

The reason I am a Muslim is because I was born that way, the reason I still am a Muslim is because I haven't found proof/reason to see this religion as false.

I hope I haven't missed/misunderstood any important points in your post. I'm just in a hurry right now.

Contrary to popular belief, science and religion are not opposites. In fact religion even encourages you to explore and learn more, regarding science and all other subjects of learning.

In the case of the Bible, thing is, it' only been written down centuries after Jesus' death. People relied on their memories for generations. Naturally things have been forgotten/edited. And when they are edited, they would be done so in a way that would make sense to the people in the current time. And the fact that there are countless versions of the Bible, surely with all this tampering by men, many things would be end up contradictory, or just false statements.

There is only one version of the Qur'an, written down right after Mohammed's (peace be upon him) death. The Big Bang theory does not contradict with the Qur'an, hell, whether the Evolution theory is true or not, it still does not contradict with the Qur'an. The Qur'an isn't a scientific revelation, it's purpose isn't to teach us about how the world was created or how everything works. That information, as we are told by our religion, is up to us to discover and learn.

The point is, you've got the whole world raging when a lady is killed in Iran, but when a Muslim lady is killed, you don't hear anything about it.

One man kills a muslim for being a muslim.

meanwhile,
- Countless "infidels" murdered each year by Muslims
-UN tries to make criticism of Islam against the law
-Countless foreigners are killed in Muslim countries for not following religious law; Muslims move to secular countries and demand western laws to changed to suit their religious beliefs, and are very often appeased.

OH THE PLIGHT OF THE MUSLIMS!!!

I seem to remember a similar argument during the time of the Gaza fighting. 3 Israeli soldiers were reported dead, and everyone was going on a riot about how Israeli's were dying and have it really tough in this war, meanwhile over 800 Palestinians died and the rest homeless or suffering from the fighting.

-Countless foreigners are killed in Muslim countries for not following religious law; Muslims move to secular countries and demand western laws to changed to suit their religious beliefs, and are very often appeased.

Just for the record, whenever there was a non Muslim in an Islamic country in the old days, they were never forced to convert nor follow their laws, they just had to pay a certain tax, which Muslims payed as well, but as part of their religion.

Well, your art seems very nice, and I'd hate to see it ruined if the engine turned out to be rather poor. So you could always get an experienced programmer to make the engine for you, while you'd focus on the art and animation only.

Also, how do you plan on putting it on the PSP? For all I know, flash games don't work on PSP. Are you going to be re-coding it for the PSP?

1. how do link the animations together for every specific movement.

Just put the specific animations inside keyframes inside the player movieclip. With a "stop();" on the first frame. Then in the part where you tell the player to move when the right/left key is down, just add that it goes to the correct frame in the player movieclip.

Hope this helped.

Take things before that. During the times of the Islamic expeditions, the time when the crusaders had Jerusalem and Saladin came and he and King Richard signed the treaty of Ramla. At that time I believe, Muslims, Christians or Jews were allowed to stay in Jerusalem.

also Israelis citizens bought Palestinians lands with cash
we gave money they gave lands
both sides happy...since Israel bought the swamps and all the places they didn't want them anyway they were happy to at least receive money...

Things went wrong when the British came, who gave this land to the Jews. When it was never the English's land.

When using bones, always have the first point on the head. Makes things easier. However, you can still rotate limbs while having bones with the free transform tool. And remember that you can also change the bones' rotation point with the free transform tool also.

Server-side programming is very hard to pull off, and you'd have a hard time finding people who could actually pull it off. And using AS3 for such a project would be much easier.

Nonetheless, good luck on your project.

If you'd like to animate your character using the bone tool, the program him in AS2. Then simply animate him in an AS3 document, and when you're done, convert the animation to frame by frame. (You do this by right click on the armature and clicking "convert to frame by frame") then copy them over to your as2 game document.

Hope this helped.

I think it depends on where you live and what education system you're in. But more importantly, if school isn't providing enough actual education for you, then you have to educate yourself. Sometimes I come back from school and realize...I haven't learned anything today! All we took, was stuff we'd probably forget once the semester was over, or stuff we knew before.

The thing is, you just need seek out the knowledge for yourself. It would really prove useful in the long run.

And do try to look farther than making a good living. And learn for the sake of learning. It really makes the world seem like a much larger, more interesting, mysterious place.
