So far, everyone seems to have the same basic story. It just goes to show you how Newgrounds is discovered.

AS USUAL LOLOLOL.

Hey. So I realized that there are many people on NG that are completley unknown. So, I decided to make a thread where you post about yourself on NG and why or how you joined Newgrounds.

So I'll go first.

I came to Newgrounds when I was 13 years old. I didnt have a profile back then, but I still loved playing all the crazy and cooky games that Newgrounds had to offer. Finally, when I was 15, I decided to create my first account on Ng. It was called FattyMcpatty. I lost the pass word, so I then created the account I am using today.

I have been on Newgrounds for over a year now and enjoy every moment of it. I am posting in the forums, making music, and making some funny flash movies that a lot of teens seem to find hilarious. I am about to improve in my flash skill and hope to get front page soon. My latest game got 40,000 views. and I have gotten top of the week once in music and once in flash.

Well that pretty much sums up everything I have done on Ng.

Now its your turn. Tell us about yourself. *If you do not feel secure in telling your age or any personal information, then just dont tell us your age or any personal information... DUH.*

Yeah lol. However, I would buy them on Ebay for a lot considering it is an antique.

OK!!! I think I got it figured out. I used this coding. I typed in what I put in for each movie clip, and what I put in for each frame. Like whatever code is under FRAME 1 is going to be in FRAME 1. I also included the instance names and everything.

So does it look right to you?

frame 1 {
_root.onLoad = function () {
cannon._rotation = 90;
barBounds = bar.getBounds(_root);
var v4 = 1;
var v3 = 0;
var v6 = 1;
var v7 = false;
var v2 = 0;
var v5 = false;
};

_root.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (Key.isDown(38)) {
cannon._rotation -= 2;
}
if (Key.isDown(40)) {
cannon._rotation += 2;
}
if (cannon._rotation > 90) {
cannon._rotation = 90;
}
if (cannon._rotation < -5) {
cannon._rotation = -5;
}
if (peg._x <= barBounds.xMin) {
propel = 1;
savepropel = propel;
}
if (propel == 1) {
peg._x += 3;
}
if (peg._x >= barBounds.xMax) {
propel = -1;
savepropel = propel;
}
if (propel == -1) {
peg._x -= 3;
}
if (propel == 0) {
++peg._x;
--peg._x;
}
if (Key.isDown(32)) {
propel = 0;
speed = (peg._x - barBounds.xMin) / 16;
duplicateMovieClip('ball', 'ball' + i, i);
++i;
fired = true;
}
if (!Key.isDown(32)) {
if (fired == true) {
fired = false;
propel = savepropel;
}
}
};

}

movieClip 2 {
}

movieClip 4 {
}

instance ball of movieClip 4 {

onClipEvent (load) {
grav = -6;
speed = _root.speed;
_rotation = _root.cannon._rotation;
if (_name == 'ball') {
_x = -2000;
} else {
_x = _root.cannon._x;
_y = _root.cannon._y;
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_y = _y + grav;
++grav;
if (_rotation > 180) {
_y = _y + speed * Math.cos(0.0174532925199433 * _rotation);
_x = _x - speed * Math.sin(0.0174532925199433 * _rotation);
} else {
_y = _y - speed * Math.cos(0.0174532925199433 * _rotation);
_x = _x + speed * Math.sin(0.0174532925199433 * _rotation);
}
if (_x > Stage.width or _x < 0 or _y > Stage.height or _y < 0) {
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
}

movieClip 6 {
}

movieClip 8 {
}

movieClip 10 {
}
}

I did this based on the cannon that was featured on page one.

Sorry I havent posted in a few days. Game before last wouldnt work on my PC and the last game is far too scary :P

I wont let this thread die, dont worry. Even if its just me, I enjoy the games and think that it is a very good idea for a club.

Ok so you think the game is scary. :D

Well then here is another game.

Why would you want to know? What difference will it make if your profile is viewed by many? Would it make you feel any better?

There's no point in poorly inflating your own ego for something so silly.

No of course not lol. I want to see if people are interested in the things I have to inform about games and music I make. If I know how many people know about me, I know how succesful I am in audio and flash. Then again, this is what view count is for.

Uploading to...? Newgrounds? And if so what does it have to do with us?

He means as an icon.

This isnt a glitch, it detects that the background has a 0% alpha, (It can be seen through so the image can be places on any cored background and still look smooth)

I would recommend getting an entireley different image that has a colored background to avoid this. No animations, no transparency.

Let's de-derail this thread and get back to the game, shall we?
This childish flamefest is full of comments about peoples' status as a coder and such.

stop? That'd be nice.
Now, fkwajp, tell us, where exactly are you atm? Have you worked out the cannons? Or was that the only problem?

Ok. THEMILLZ and I have gotten everything planned and worked out. I have the physics to make the ball bounce around the screen, which is the main part of the game. I have gotten the cannons to move. Now I just need to apply coding to the power bar and make the ball with physics in it shoot out of the cannon. I probably will have to apply basic trig.

That's not a game. It's a demo that shows "pretty" things. I'll eat my pants if that gets daily 2nd.

Ill take that bet! SO if it does get placed, you will eat your pants. If it doesnt, however, I will eat my pants.

Expected on youtube.

We have all made particle effects when we were learning to AS (fire, sparks, random crap, whatever) and they are not difficult.

They sponsor him all the time. And I am making particle effects with a program called FUSE. It is completley different than making them using AS2. Some of the effects are made using AS2. I am just saying that I have worked on this particle effects project now for 2 months and wont take crap from anybody. I mean, obviously this game has some sort of potential. The intro sucks and needs to be changed into better graphics and I need to clean it up a bit, but so far people have stated the game has some really neat effects. It is a game that is supposed to show how Algebra and Geometry can be used in Flash.

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/051008/7 5814_particle.php

So anyway, I have looked at the cannon information and have made the cannon at least move lol. Well, back to the drawing board to try to make it shoot.

Thanks for all of your help and I hope to meet someone in person who can actually teach me how to learn and memorize coding.

Ok ok.. i will try to do this. Here is a picture of the game of any of you are interested. The red things are the cannon and they shoot out one ball each that bounce around the stage and kill enemies. There are 50 levels. You control the mouse with your cannon and click to shoot. How does it look so far?

As for you, fatkidwitajetpak. You say you can't work the meter, but you made my respect meter for you go down fairly quickly.

why lol? Cause I got into an argument with some people? Alright whatever.

Well anyway, I do appreciate you helping me with this, but please do not make stupid assumptions of the way I code. I code by getting coding, and learning everything I can do with it. For example... Lets say I have a bal and I want it to multiply into 2. I figure that out, and then mess around with it to make it multiply into 4 and drop down to the ground.

I am just starting this code stuff out, so I need some LINKS.

I will post a pic of the game once I get home.

You should accept you're very new to AS and you know nothing and learn from there, not dive in, copy and paste some code and claim you're an AS expert programming for Armorgames. Shouting at Gust and the more intelligent members of here is going to get you nowhere.

I do accept I know nothing about coding.. thats why i want to learn!

Look, here is how I got to be a programmer for a game being sponsered by armorgames.

A guy named THEMILLZ contacted me asking for help on his game Murder Ball. I said I would be glad to help him. I have programmed the ball bouncing around everywhere, now I just need to understand how to make a proper cannon.

I dont care if you dont believe me about armorgames or not. What I do care about is if someone can explain to me about coding a cannon. I need some code, however, simply because I need some understanding on what to type.

And what evidence do you have even to support the fact that i dont know coding?

I know much coding. AND OF COURSE I DONT KNOW ALL OF IT!

I am just beginning to learn the advanced parts of coding and hope to make it to front page again with my next game.

I am programming for Armorgames right now. That is why i need to know some coding infor on shooting a ball out of a cannon. But if you dont want to help a coder in need, then fine. I will just ask someone else.
Besides, whats the point in this argument? You wont believe anything I say and probably will jst respond with some "You dont know anything" crap.

Instead of acting immature and like you know everything, why not actually try to HELP someone? if I wanted to be treated like i was some 13 year old I wouldnt post this thread. Sadly, i can see there arent any reasonable people who can help except for 2 people in this thread. i will continue this discussion by pming them.
