They fixed it trig :/

Yes. You can use FlashDevelop to get AS3 with Flash 8, but it might be complicated if you're new.

Personally, I was just commenting on how long two years is. It's just a drastic over-statement of your time, and almost sounded unrealistic. My b, though.

Murudai, while it sounds a little cocky, self-interested argument, that was kind of my point, too! It's a pain in the ass now, but it says released end of 2009, so I'm just hoping to finish something really quickly if I get time and put it in before the gates open.

Sounds more like it :P

Each layer and can have it's own motion tween, so you would have to have each body part on separate layers. Otherwise, if you did frame by frame, you could do it all on one frame and redraw the whole body, or separate the body parts and just do FBF on each one. They all work, depends on what you're going for.

Sort of agree, although I don't think it looks too much like crap, it could be much smoother, nicer, and probably better done. The effect overall is kind of cool, but work on it.

Raycasting tutorial from top view and incredibly more efficient than your method.

I personally hate that tutorial, I think it's not too efficient. I remember DeltaLuca telling me a long time ago to just find all the polygon coordinates and use that kind of. If you draw it out, it makes much more sense, and looks 100% smooth, because it perfectly goes to points. That can be a pain in the ass, though.

You must have been working for two years at a very slow pace I assume, right?

I would go and learn Objective - C / how to use XCode just before this came out. Fuck me! Well, I haven't really read any comments / the articles, but I'm assuming someone's going to or has said something about performance issues. I can only hope!

Anyone could make those sprites if they spent five minutes. Very half-assed work. Go make something better and come back when you're ready.

Woot for two month old computers crashing without having backed up. ULLLTTTTRRAAKKKIIIILLL!

Now stop talking about rapists!

It's been so damn long since I've used Flash, my gosh! "attachMovie" automatically gives a legitimate depth I think, though.

Three to four minutes in less than a month for $300? That's gonna be a real feat for an animator, and I'd be surprised if you get anyone with significant talent, but if you do, congrats and good luck! (My recommendation is raise the pay basically if you can)

Congrats to everyone, of course!

Also, that picture is fucking beast, and Madness Accelerant was awesome.

But an easy way so that you can never get it wrong is:

wordList = new Array();
wordList[0] = "Item";
wordList[1] = "Item";
wordList[2] = "Item";

textBox.text = wordList[random(wordList.length)];

If ya wanna be a dick, then let's do this:

wordList = ["Item1", "Item2", "Item3"];
textBox.text = wordList[random(wordList.length)];

Now let's stop with all this crap.

It's been FOHEVAAA since I've done AS2, but don't you mean random(3). It does 0 -> (# - 1) I think.

No, no they couldn't. Fuck all of you :'(

Truth of the "commercial sales" matter is that they're not going to hunt you down unless you're making some real cash on whatever's being sold. That means you're making probably tens of thousands or more. They're not going to check if a small time developer has some license or not. They could care less (:P).

Anyone have any "really good" ideas for an iPhone / iPod touch game that isn't an enormous project?

Nothing in here is even up to par. You go from paint to chicken scratch to a copy of a picture. Step up the game.

You know how to use them and use them efficiently.

The song / songs flow well together, and it's awesome how the artist was able to mix together the very cartoony style with some really amazing graphical effects in the fires and things. Think it was all done in Flash?

Anything extra needed apart from Flash to develop them? With the projector do you need the .swf AND the .app?

Xcode and an iPhone Developer Enrollment Certificate :D

You mean Pixel Tools? It doesn't pixelize already created vectors, but you can create certain vectors that are pixalized.

Also, I'm so happy this iPhone thing is going so smoothly. I can now easily just send my artist the .app file and it will automatically sync onto his iPhone without all the trouble of getting him Xcode, getting a new enrollment plan, etc. Woot!
