Have variables on the main timeline that keeps track of that.

The first variable keeps track of the players level. The second variable is a random number between x and (x + 30). For every level you increase, you minimum and maximum attack values are raised by five.

Level One: 1-30
Level Two: 5-35
Level Three: 10-40
Level Four: 15-45

So once your player's level increases, his attack increases. Make sure those variables are on the main timeline (_root) though!

// AS 2.0
var playerLevel:Number = 1;
var playerAttack:Number = Math.floor (Math.random () * 30 + ((playerLevel - 1) * 5 + 1));

I'm FBF'ing my characters now instead of tweening them. Just, what do you think looks better (from a general audience point of view)?

FBF -- Duck Luck 10 Clip or Construction Workers

Tweening -- School Fool or Duck Luck 8

Any feedback is appreciated :)

I was never a n00b in this account.

You still are poncho. Best submission score is like a 3.3, and that's a madness day thing.

I do block the name. Anyway, thanks guys. Since my site is small I'm just going to ban him manually.

On my forums, when I ban somebody it disallows their IP to register a new account or log into a current one. But it appears that the IP's have been changing. If I was to register an account right now, the IP associated with my new account would be different from the one I registered like a month ago (on the same computer). So I've got dick faces registering after like 2 days even though I've IP banned them, and posting again.

Help? To get the IP I've been using $_SERVER ['REMOTE_ADDR']

That's impossible. Look closer.

Usually sites just steal the games without asking. Google "Hurry Bird" and you'll see about 50 sites with my (crappy) game on it... yet I only submitted to maybe 4.

So you expect people to devote hundreds of hours of work to your project with no incentive? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You're not a studio in Georgia your some kid who lives in Georgia, and you aren't Identity Productions because you haven't even produced anything. You are a lazy, stupid nobody.

Worked awesome for me. Very impressive.

6th place :(

I just lost 2 years of animation material because of this and it could take up to a few weeks before I can animate again so I think it's best if you just submit your parts to the portal.

That sucks. Oh well. You can always download your stuff from newgrounds, if you don't know how I can do it for you.

Why would somebody draw the founding fathers for you so that you can take all the credit? The thing you produce wouldn't even be worthy of NG because nobody is interested in the founding fathers. It's just a big waste of time, and you'd be much better off being honest and doing the work yourself. It will give you practice.

Oh, you stole the script for a chat system. Good job, things are going great. Hopefully you can find all the other scripts you need to steal, otherwise you might have to put some effort.

You can't just steal a script and then ask simple AS questions. The graphics are shit, and the script is stolen. Write your own engine, then maybe you'll get some help.

Thanks guys. These suggestions are really helping. I'll fix the moving after death bug, modify the second boss difficulty and make it so you know what to do after the cutscene in level 2.

Thanks boys. I think I'll make boss 2 run 8 times instead of ten.

As for the bridge bug, ive tried it and I'm not seeing what you're saying. Seems fine to me.

// wow this is cool.

right click on it in the library and hit properties. Then select Lossless/Png as oppposed to photo/jpeg. It will look 100%.

I think I have a solution for that :) Thanks mate.

That's something I can fix... just make it when the boss hits you it'll do 15-20 damage isntead of 25.

Other than that, the difficulty's alright. You might want to give even more emphasis on the button in the first boss (to signify to people that that's its weak spot).

Might add an arrow or something pointing to it.

Which boss are you reffering to? The first one? Step on the button when it flashes. Takes 3 times to kill him.

This is waht I'm concerned about... people can't figure out how to beat level one :(

SUPER TANK (LEVELS 1-2)

Hey NG! JunkyCow (artist), and me (Snubby, programmer) are making a game called SUPER TANK! Here we have levels one and two, and we would like your feedback on the following issues...

- Is the first boss too hard?
- Would you quit playing before you reached the second level?
- Can you beat the second level (including boss) without dying?
- Notice any bugs?

Things to Note:
- Please read instructions first!
- The intro is temporatily out because i dont want to watch it every time i test the game.
- Some fonts are broken, they will be fixed
- the purple arrow won't be used in the final thing, just in testing (click it to skip level).
- This has been in slow production, but we're giong for a level a week, now

Thanks.

Oh yeah I understand that. My animation was incredibly simple, that's one reason why it was so quick to make. But it was still a large amount of work to do within 2 days. It's just kind of disappointing that you would make a collab and then not have anything to show for your part after a whole month, simplistic animation or not. I remember you saying on page one that it was going to be submitted near the end of September.

Anyway, I'm not going to bother you about it anymore. Just do it your own way.

That's fine, I can wait. But for the record... it's been a whole month and I haven't seen a frame of animation from you...

So you've got the designer, but you still need a programmer?

I can program PHP/MySQL, an example would be this. I can do it for you if the pay is reasonable. Email me at snubbyland@gmail.com and tell me exactly what you need and about how much you're willing to pay, and we can take it from there.

Hey V, is it okay if I submit School Fool right now as a single? It would still be in the collab, it's just that its 2 minutes long and the collab probably wont be done for months, so i dont see why not. if thats not fine then thats fine, if not then ill submit it.

Collosus looks really good, great job. Can not wait till this is out... it's been months since I finished my part...

Well, hopefully the menu is going to move a lot faster than that. Also, the 2nd screen is kind of useless, once you press the button on the first one all the second one can do is bring you to the third one.

It was a great idea making yourself the character designer then.

You shouldn't start animating without the majority of the script done.

Hey, i want to start learning to make my own music, can you guys give me some info on good programs for it and information on them. Thanks!
