Oh Herbie!
what mess will you find yourself in next

Hmm, since Red Baron 2 fell apart this would be perfect for all of those remains.

The guy who played McLovin goes to my school, not sure if he still does this year... but did the previous two years. Yay. I have yet to see the movie :(

Build Me Up Buttercup :D

I saw a video of some guy being held down on the ground while someone cut through his neck with a knife, that's when I stopped looking at things under judgment.

I'm up for something quick, sounds fun.

You probably tried attaching a sound from the library and using the same sound directly somewhere, if a sound is linked, you can't just drag it onto the stage, it has to always be attached.

I'm a vegetarian, I usually don't like to get into these arguments because you can't teach someone without common sense because they won't get it.
Any who, fish still have a nervous system, which means, they still feel pain. Who are we to decide their fate? Unlike other animals who can only kill to survive, instinct and all that, we can live without killing other animals. Taking a life just for pleasure when it's completely unnecessary is fucking cruel.

Tetris.

You guys suck, I love this game, I think I'll play it all day long.

Squeakytoad, gotta intrude.

It's easy to say those things from the stand point of a kid, I don't know your real age, so I could be totally wrong. When you have to support a family and want to keep animating, plus support all of the bigger projects he has planned, those things are absolutely necessary. And instead of a shameless plug, he did it in an excellent and witty way, I actually enjoyed that little spin on it. Of course it's not the regular stuff, but it wasn't nearly as bad as many sell outs.

And this isn't for personal gain like the others either, this is to support many other bigger projects, and so that he can still keep on animating. I really think you over reacted, and I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed it and fully support it, and I'll be buying the book tomarrow.

Bought it this morning, just played it for an hour :)

It's such an amazing game all around, still love playing it even though I beat it like 50 times on the gamecube. All the new touches are great, I like the new background on the PDA. All the minigames are great, now I can finally play All You Can Eat without being at Comic Con. I tried to play it online, but everytime I tried, it would say everyone left, dunno if that's technical or if a lot of people just decided to quit. Missile Mastar is awesome as well, although, no music?

I'll play a LOT more later, but I'm definately gonna force everyone I know with a 360 to buy it. GREAT job guys, it's amazing! And definately looking forward to Castle Crashers!

That sucks

Use a shapeflag hitTest, it would look something like this:

if(ground.hitTest(man._x,man._y,true)) {
gameover();
}

shapeflag hitTests test a whole object accurately against a single point, rather than a regular hitTest which basically makes two blocks out of the objects and tests that.

Don't get lazy with the movement, instead of just moving the _x and _y to their destinations, use a bit of trig to find x distance and y distance to move each frame to have them reach the destination at the same time using a consistent speed.

Booking?

I just recieved a new book, Actionscript Animation from Friends of Ed. It seems perfect for what I've been looking for, it covers all of the math aspects of programming with flash. Kinematics, 3D, physics, tons of stuff, and it's what the whole book's on, not just a section, like most of the other books I've checked out.
Does anyone else have this book, or any similar books? I'm planning on reading this many many times over, I've never fully been able to connect a lot of math to useful programming. I'll be sure to comment on the book as I get into it.

Just a suggestion.

True, he could have. But the point was that he at least expected people to wait a few days before stealing, the author's only request, and a very small one at that. So yeah, it sucks, I'm curious to see how the guy responds, if he responds...

So much great news :)
Voted for Castle Crashers, of course. I cannnnn't wait for Comic Con, gonna be so great this year! The prizes for Pico Day look amazing, sure to be a ton of great submissions.
And what's this??? a new banner :)

Awesome :)
I saw them live about year ago, they're amazing, so fucking hardcore!
I'm gonna kiss your pineapple!

Boondock Saints
The Boondock Saints is an awesome movie. All the shots are done perfectly and everything is completely realistic and believable. It's the best movie ever technically speaking.

Ruff in the Jungle Bizness - Prodigy
Doctor Wu - Steely Dan
Wilted Rose - The Vanity Project
Polka Power! - Weird Al
Hey Luno - The Aquabats

Nicely done, I enjoyed the video. Always interasting to see how different users can approach the same situation.
Lovin the dual moniters.

Awesome stuff, pretty funny about Epic, but very glad it all ended well :)
Huge congratulations to Rift and Edmund on Cereus Peashy, amazing game!

taxes suck

When testing something new, I would use a trace to check if it's actually working instead of another statement which might have it's own seperate problem.
Your code has multiple problems because the _root doesn't have a parent, it is the top level.
Another thing is in your hitTest, hitTest is a built-in function with flash, function work by putting the name of them, in this case hitTest, followed by its arguments, no period inbetween them. So, assuming the root did have a parent, it would look like this:
if (this.hitTest(_root._parent.shoot)){

My guess is you're using the v-cam, if so, subtract the _x values of the cam from the _x calculations, and same for the _y if it scrolls vertically too.

Lookin good so far. Hope it will have a good bit of length as it fleshes out, looks like very nice quality.
It's been fun playing with you :)

Amazing work! You were guys are the flash veterans that I've been looking up to before I even knew what flash was. Peashy is an awesome game, with all of your wonderful, bizarre, style that I looooove.
All the little touches really brought the game together, and the old school platformer gameplay thrived even more with your personalized taste.
Sweet game, loved it very much, thank you!

Good luck finding a good programmer who's stupid enough to not see how this is a complete rip off. Best of luck.

Awesome month :)
Ivan Drago was amaaaaaazing, and Future was pretty awesome.
Gears ahoy!

You mentioned in a different thread that you do not rip off dan paladin, yet here you are making a complete copy of Super Soldier...
Get your own style, all these copy cats are really frustrating.
