Balls. It won't take much effort to convince the sponsor to help out. The internet is a hate machine after all, and if they try to turn the other cheek all you need to do is write a short little blog post telling your side of the story. They won't want the bad publicity, and you can most definitely weasel the money out of the sponsor and let them deal with the jerk who ripped you off.

It didn't really fill me up but it was satisfying enough that I didn't feel like eating any more after I was done with it (just wanted the taste to stay in my mouth for as long as possible you know?)

I'm gonna try to figure out an easy to get bacon on it too, but bacon is a pain to cook so I might just cook like a pound at once and freeze what I don't need.

I found the best lunch ever:

Heat up george forman grill
put a fresh burger patty on it, fill the rest of the space with portabella mushroom slices
Close the grill

wait

Melt cheddar cheese on the burger

take burger off grill

put bun on grill, close, grill for a minute

Assemble burger.

Put ranch dressing on burger (i used tostitos southwestern ranch dip)

eat.

So delicious, easy to prepare, difficult to screw up, practically no cleanup.

I'm gonna permanently add this to my college diet

Luckily I've never been in that position. Well I've "not gotten paid" before but that's because I'm pretty sure the other guy never actually was able to get money for the game anyway.

Which sponsor was it? Depending on that, you can probably complain to the sponsor about it, ruin the animator's chances of making any more money off of a sponsor, and probably get some compensation from the sponsor for your work.

Trust me the sponsor will take it seriously.

Heh that's cool, they did that at the flash gaming summit too.

Seems like you're taking the the flag values from the tiles to the left, right, above and below the tile at (i, j) then use them to generate an integer: 0 <= n >= 15. Each of these integers represents a certain combination of tile values around (i, j). Then you add 1 since that's what a movieclip's first frame index is, and use that movieclip b to somehow show this visually.

Ya pretty much, so tiles will only show the border when there's no tile next to it

here's your prize: boobies! (.Y.)

I was thinking of doing exactly that, I know it'd be cool to use in my own code if nothing else. 5 KB for practically unlimited sound effects? Yes please!

I'm also going to look into the idea of packaging up the sound as a swf, loading it back in using loadBytes and letting you instantiate it as a Sound object, without any fancy FP10 sound stuff.

Now that the port is finished, I can get on to properly extending it with these kind of features

Tom-

I've seen that making a swf thing done before but I'd suggest just concentrate on the fp10 stuff. If anything it'll be motive to switch. (and pixel bender could be used for sound effect filters too, like "underwater" or other effects that could be useful).

Flash would be awesome with a rich sound manipulation API on top of it's low level stuff.

Yep, Dim showed me sfxr and I thought it would be fun to port it. Plus a lot of people don't trust downloadable .exe files like the original was, so having it as a web app could be useful

The original didn't have copy/paste though :P

Tom-

It'd be cool if you could make a flash 10 playback API for it so people could playback the sounds simply based on a short list of parameters, or even "mutate" it on the fly.

var sound1:SFXREffectData = new SFXREffectData(.2, .4, .8. .1, -.4, .-27, 1.27);
var sound2:SFXREffectData = sound1.mutate();
SFXR.play(sound2); // generates on the fly
sound2 = SFXR.randomize();
SFXR.register(sound2) // pregenerates waveform for sound2
SFXR.play(sound2) // playback of raw waveform

or something similar

IGF Submission Deadline is November 1st.
I'm working hard to ready Closure for it.

You guys should give it a shot if you have a good or original game and $100 to spend. It's worth a shot.

You do realize that you put yourself in almost every single flash game/ movie. I dont think i have seen anyone here on newgrounds with as much as ego as you do.

I mean seriously...just stop already, theres nothing special about you.

Plus I can cure myself and it's working so far. Sleep + Echanecia extract + herbal teas work wonders.

probably not but maybe

If you're using flash 10 you don't have to decode the song yourself. You can read decoded data out of a sound object using a similar API for how you do dynamic sound creation.

Good luck decoding an MP3 yourself though. It's not exactly an open standard

The AV guy brought us a new cable today. Game has not hiccuped since, so it was the cable after all.

Tom Fulp played all 20 levels. Snagged a free behemoth shirt from them. Derek Yu played all 20 levels. Tim Schafer and Morgan Webb played the game while G4 filmed. Tune in next week.

Most likely no. It's too crashy for public viewing, and I only really got it running stably on my own OSX machine.

Got 3 hours of sleep last night. Was up till 3 AM finish the game demo. IT'S READY. and it's early. Cause the event opens to the media at 8:30

Bam.

PAX setop went.. OK. I ended up shelling out $80 for a sign to be printed at kinkos causer they didn't provide signs like they said they would. But oh man what a sign it is. 40''x20''. I may find a way to give it away in a contest after PAX. In an absolutely completely unrelated note, there is a paypal donate button on closuregame.com, maybe you could hit it?

Audio didn't work, so I have to bring my own speaker system. What a pain. Oh well this is what the setup day was for.

It's gonna be a photo finish getting the game ready in time. Starogre has all the art with him, he'll be here shortly and we can pop the art in the game when he gets here.

Saw dan paladin today setting up. I'm literally right across from them.
