Simple, but hey, I'd wear it.

... I hate jpg's.

That looks like a good tut, but thi shooting doesnt have to do with the mouse. It is like, rotate your ship with arrow keys, and shoot with space, in the direction the ship is pointing.

My friend is making a game (based around Comet Busters), that is a space shooter. It is in top-down view (EV Nova, EV Override, Radien X kind of view). He is having trouble giving four different ships the ability to shoot.

What he needs:

- Code that works with any ship.

- Bullets will shoot in the direction the ship is pointing, and move independently, not turning as the ship turns unrealistically.

- Bullets are not simple instant A to B shots (Madness Interactive), they spend a good time in the air (space).

Asking for the exact code would be unrealistic, because I don't know the instance names, or the buttons that work for each ship.

Anyone have any help?

Looks good to me.

Stop motion = High file size.

Actually it almost is, because there was none in AFD5.

Too bad, you can't do squat about it.

:P

Can you explain how to do it in more detail? I want to have fun too...

Where do you grab the seat of the chair? At the front or back?

Do you lean back in your chair when you do it?

I want to forget who I am, sounds fun.

Tomorrow is now the planned release date:D

Only something crazy and unexpected could interfere, because Rai got the filesize below 10 megs now, so he can submit anytime now.

I'd say it gets a 10 out of 10 if you actually drew the girl... but you didn't, so I'll rate the background instead.

6/10?

you should try to somehow get Rtil, BigFoot, and some other people at that level aswell.

So yea... I will probably (NO PROMISES) be in this collab. I will only not be in it if I cant finish the animation I'm working on before the collab is done. If this collab takes as long as the last one, I'll be in for sure.

Boo hoo. With my internet I'll have to wait more than an hour for it to load.

Well if theres a game, make sure its got a LOW file size

Id want you to join if you joined a while ago, but I just want it out so desperately and dont want to wait for another part to come out:P

My advice is not to try to impress anyone. Forget about newgrounds and make your animation because you want to and make it for YOURSELF, not us.

Thanks so much dude. You really know your stuff.

I'm surprised by the lyrics though, because it is a song by Asian Kung-Fu Generation called "Jihei Tansaku" and it seems like a pretty happy song in Japanese.

Thanks, I needed to know the general meaning :)

I have searched everywhere for something that can translate japanese romaji. Babelfish doesn't work. Japanese to English dictionaries don't seem to work very well either.

Does anyone here know any way I could translate the romaji lyrics to a song?

Or is there a random Japanese man here?

Here are the lyrics in Romaji:

Thanks for any help I may get. (Hopefully I won't be spanked)

enjoy. It was a cumination of TrippingMetal and I with a pinch of Wasamagic. :D

I doesn't matter because it's still Yoshi. The way you do it is grab the bat, go up to the sandbag, and do a LITTLE jump, and at the same time use flutterkick. You'll get the hang of it, and 1000 ft for Yoshi is pretty low, my record is 2'245 ft.

Your blurring it in MX 2004? What are you separating ever colour and using soften fill edges on each one or what? Go get flash 8.

Also an alternative to slowing down flash (mostly just for backgrounds and single images) is to export the picture, import to photoshop, add blur, and send back to flash as a bitmap, which will run much smoother for you. That is if you have photoshop of course.

Sweet tutorial. I think you should have encluded a section about vector optimization though (Modify ---> Shape ---> Optimize). I picked that up from Adam Phillips and it's proved very handy for me indeed.

If you meant the Wasamonster intro, If you get one I do to:P

I couldnt watch your whole animation so I may not know what your talking about BTW.

I've already got almost no chance... but I need to burn some time till I get my computer.

BTW I love the idea of an art contest each month.

Well, to make it zoom in, make an abject a symbol by selecting it and pressing f8. Have it on a layer in a keyframe, go about 3o or whatever frames down the timeline and press f6 to make a new keyframe, and use the scale thing to make it bigger, then go to the basic frames between the two points on the timeline, right click and say "create motion tween" and there you have it. But whats with the have the camera look at it in different angles thing? This is 2d, you just have to draw the object again at a different angle.

If you are using a 3d program.. my bad.

We should just extend the capacity of the portal to 75 or 100.

I'm not all that knowledgable on computers, but it may be that your directory is messed. You could try defragmenting it, and it lines up similar programs together, so your computer doesnt have to search through the entire computer every time you do something.

Well at least I think it's that. Also consider how much of your harddrive is being used up.

Sorry for DP.

Something just came up, so I can't make a part :(

I'll have a short part. I need something to do till I get my new computer.

Just like... send me a part or something, but it can't be winzipped or anything, must be just an mp3 file.

:)
