This any better. Still got reasonably low friction now but it's not over the top anymore.
Also increased jumpheight and decreased gravity to give it a slightly more relaxed feel while speeding up the man allowing for more agile movements and longer jumps.

Ok guys, I'm working on a new game and I'm trying to make the Platform engine feel perfect.
How's this feel.

You're Tom Fulp.
So Wade finally kicked you out of your own company. Shame. Oh well, can I have an autograph?

If uou haven't noticed Game of the Week is currently treasure hunt so kind of.

Is he talking about changing the .swf size in the same way going wide screen does on the NG widelayout. If you go Stage.ScaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
then the.swf gets bigger instead of it just scaling if that helps.

Stuff it I'll put them on my love film list.

Does anyone know any good places to watch Family Guy online? All the places I've tried is MegaVideo which takes ages to buffer and of course not being a US citizen I can't watch them on FOX online.

I started working out a couple years ago. I decided that if I was going to be doing Flash for 40 hours a week I needed to get in shape and get away from the computer more. Working towards something like a big bike event or running event is what has kept me going since then. I did my half marathon and my 100 mi bike ride this year and next year I want to work towards a full marathon.

Impressive, do you do events regularly then?

I do weight lifting twice a week and try to do some sort of cardio once a week when not training. When training for a cardio-related event I try to work out 3 times a week at least, at least 30 minutes cardio and 30 minutes lifting. On Sundays I would do an extended cardio (like 2-5 hours) to get set for the run/ride.

Guessing this answers my question. DO you not almost get close to exhaustion though because full time racking your brains to be creative with games then getting home from the 9 til 5 and working out and doing all the husbandish things to do the on weekends doing big events. How do you manage?

When i lift I try to focus on only one thing. It might be bicep night, back night, legs night, etc... just work a muscle group at a time then return to it in a week or so. That's worked for me fairly well. Since i am trying to bulk more than tone I do high weight/ low rep(reps of 15) instead of lighter weight with more reps (reps of 30).

My father who originally got into lifting does exactly this and now benches 256 pounds for 8 reps. I envy that man.

Also hang out with someone who knows the equipment or take out a personal trainer/class to get used to it. Using equipment wrong (or using just the wrong equipment for the job) is a waste of time. Having someone just get you in gear is so useful, especially in a gym environment.

Will do, started with my father who does it as his hobby.

I find that working out is a great way to relieve stress and get some frustration out. Anyone else find the same thing true?

Working Out
Does anyone here work out?
I've just started doing it and I'm just wondering if anyone else does.
If so what exercises do you do?
How much weight/reps?
And what's your targets?

Lol, this is awesome.

My animation is Relaxatives. Yeah, you'll see when it's finished :P

Basically, I pretty much learnt audio from it. I mean, I new how to import it and everything, but I learned much more, like how to actually delete it from the frame, and other stuff. I also learned a lot about lip synching.

My deadline is December 31st. What about any of you guys?

Working on my first big game project and trying to put myself on the map. Learnt a lot about how different things are in practice.
Deadline is Feb next year.

What show and what is the show about?

bet some of you coders could make some crazy good games with that

It is good news. Problem is if you amke a game that gets over $5,000 then you have to give them a 25% cut. But all things considered it's a really good opportunity.
On that subject Unity3D is now free for non-commercial use.

Adobe are doing a crap job with Flash, all this crap they're piling on is not helping anyone, and Flash runs like crap on the iPhone.

Also HTML5 has been predicted to overtake Flash, it's being endorsed by a large number of companies including Google as the next big Web Script but at the moment it hasn't caught on for either animation or games. There is currently no good animating tools for it and not enough browsers support it for games.

I'd give flash 5 more years for it becomes mainly obsolete.

People don't want to hear financial advice from a homeless person. Make people believe why you would be the right guy to start a dev blog and it should all work out.

I'm working on a pretty big project at the moment. But I have a problem where I often run out of motivation half way through a project so I often don't finish. Also, I know a lot more in theory than I do in practice.

Don't think of this as an attack by the way, just trying to help.

That's fine. Thanks.

Yeah, I spent about 1 hour and a half making it. I like the game.

Make sure you're not making the v-cam rotate or skew in anyway.
