first, doubles are LESS accurate than integers, but have more range. big difference.
also, you didnt have much of a choice, since sqrt in C is only defined for floats and doubles.

But isn't a double allow numbers to go into decimals? which integers cannot do? so wouldn't that make is more accurate?

I should've said more range, I see that now, but why would an integer be considered more accurate?

Great detail....

So, what for? what do you need the coder to do?

Side view and Isometric are the best, and probably (along w/ platformer) the most challenging, I personally like the isometric view.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

but yeah, I like Japanese stuff. good shit.

Flash is better in almost every respect, apart from how easy it is to learn.

It's funny how I went from GM to flash, GM can get annoying over time, and actually does have some annoying glitches.

That was a good post, if the Topic Maker read the whole thing ppl actually have reasonable points.
GM is really a step down from flash.

One of the things that I love THE MOST ABOUT FLASH, is that it allows users to use as much or as little animation as possible, along w/ as much or as little lines of code as possible. GM normally requires quite a bit of both.
Regardless, flash games almost always... ALWAYS look nicer than a GM game.

Omg I got it, yay! =D thx to u both soo much.
I ended up putting the variables into double's instead of integers. (more accurate) so, yeah.

So, I was just practicing using "cout" and "cin" and messing around w/ variables in Dev C++, and I was just trying to make a basic pythagoream (sp?) example which had the user insert the hypotenuse and then a leg of a triangle, which then it would square both the hyp. and leg (using ^2), then subtracting them from eachother.

then I tried square rooting the final value using ^1/2 but I found it to not work... why not?

You wack disipin! (you do, honestly)

i have 30 days to make a dif game.

Why? Don't let your friend bitch you around like that...

any easy but awesome games i could make with macromedia flash MX?

one word, Arcade.

Although it's often used and there is a ton of them out nowadays, if you want to plz your friend just make one of those. (add a highscore btw)

just think of different ideas, and try to add something unique to the game.

Well thats cool, but you shouldn't focus your drawing style on that of DBZ, even w/ an original story, it's unlikely that you will get frontpage w/ that. (Not that it's not possible)

And about the title it was my best I could think of I am not so good with titles, but basicly I just want to see how I progressed with the animation.

Couldn't you just put down something like "Working Title"?

So, what is the most noobish thing you guys have ever done in flash (before you were where you are today)

Mine : I was trying to make some dots disappear over time so instead of using a shape tween, I made a square that had an alpha of 0 that matched the color of the backround and over 10 frames, I increased the alpha until I got to 100, and then made a blank keyframe.

lol

I dont care if you like it or not or what do you think, I am working really hard on this!
If you cant appreciate hard work then you dont have to watch this!

Why don't you make a series based on originality?
because really, the title seems like some messed up hentai cartoon. So instead of basing an entire flash off of a bunch of different mainstream shows, why not be more original? and come up w/ your own ideas?

ok, try something like this...

_root.onMouseDown = function(){

if(bc + 1 <= 100){

duplicateMovieClip("bullet", "b" + bc,bc);
//duplicate movie clip
}//stating that if "bc" is less than 100, add one to it.

}

for (bc=0; bc<=100; bc++) {
MC = _root["b"+bc];
	if (this.hitTest(MC._x, MC._y, true)) {
		MC.getNextHighestDepth();
               //Why give the MC a higher depth?
		removeMovieClip(MC)//not sure about this
		trace("hit " + bc);

}

It's actually quite similar to your code but thats really all I can give you w/o knowing what you want to do w/ these MC's.

Ex. Do you want to player to continuously be able to spawn bullets?

nothing really seems to be wrong w/ the code, but 1100 is quite a bit of lag. How about you show us the code that actually duplicates the MovieClip?

This is an annoy subject to talk about, in the sense that they are both, very talented animators.
They both have things they could improve on.

basic ex.

Rtil :
-Don't bitch about the NG score system which survives on the left over donut holes left by fat 13 year olds w/ bitch tits.
-Don't be an ass to other authors, yeah, you may get more reconition but the "non-retards" on the bbs will notice that at the end of the day, your just another flash artists who whore'd and bitched to the world just for that + 1 view

EgoRaptor :
-If you truly want to continue, while continuing to earn respect from the "non-retards" on NG, you need to clean up your comedic act. It's all just to damn basic.
-Lose the Awesome series. Annoyingly, you made a message on MGA2 and declared that you were moving away from the series, I was happy. But you couldn't find out/decide on where to go next. So you decided to go where you're comfortable w/ Awesome Gaiden.

Thats the true two main flaws w/ both artists.
Say what you will, those are all facts.

Well I'd have to edit it... alot if you read above I only used about 50 lines of code but I might be able to do an engine based around whats on the screen. I would have to add alot to it, such as a bitmap thingy, ext. ext.

Right now it only shows the enemies, I could easily use a ratio to put these same enemies on the

Cheers

To both of those responds, yeah I know, I programmed it that way. I made it so the blips move slightly towards the center and once it gets so close, they "jump" to a new location.

I will most likely have to change it in a different way.

thx, thats actually because of flash's hitTest system, and since I don't know shit for trig. I can't really find away around it... yet.

erm, Wade? Hell I always forget on that one.

There are many great ways to compile, in fact, there are even tutorials on them!

But if it's such a great flash (Like "Intruder Returns") PM Tom Fulp and send him the .swf

OMG no! use this link.

My mistake, I meant the background, which is shaped like a circle, but yeah make the background a radial green thing :D

Oh, =D

Still, that made it look sweet.

So, anyone know a good book w/ learning trig w/ flash?

erm, error?

I was trying to quote zrb and say

"I would vote 0 but to show my conformistness I voted 1 (which I did =P)"

But I got an error when I tried to quote that said

ERROR - No thread exists in the bbs with the id you have specified.

What?

Awesome, you should make the circle a radial gradient : dark green to light green.

It actually is a radial gradient. I made it a little stronger. But it's really not worth posting.

If I can find that annoying trig to do it, maybe.

trig....ugh
