that one's impossible! There's no player! =P

hmm...it's an okay game. It has a major bug in it though:

The enemies are always on top of the player!

You can fix this by adding the following code into your "onEnterFrame" handler:

this.swapDepths(this._x);

that's basically saying that whoever has the lowest position on the screen has the highest depth, and is always on top.
also, it seems a bit slow...

Besides that, great game! I hope to see it completed and in the portal!

what do you mean don't listen to me? I didn't diss him or anything, and i didn't tell him to give up on this thread, I just said that it would be a better idea if he replied to threads asking questions.

Regarding your code, I tried it on my own movie clips, and it worked fine...i don't really see what you're having trouble with there

i disconnected from the internet for a while there...just reviving this thread if anybody still wants to help.

No no no, you don't get it, i don't need actionscripting help, silly, I need people to design levels for me. Thanks for the thought though!

I don't see why people have to do this. I make a thread asking for help, because I need help. I don't put anything that would offend a person in the starting thread. SO then you come in, and i guess try to be cool? Or funny? So you flame me. Well, i don't think it's cool, and neither do i think it's funny. If you spelled something witty, I might have laughed at it. But no, you chose to spell "fuck off".

Hell, you made a topic asking people to ask for help, and now this is how you help a person?

Think about that.

~mac5

First of all, there has already been a thread like this, and second of all, instead of making a thread asking people to ask you for help, why not just search for other threads asking for help, and then respond to them?

I have nothing against you, this was a nice thought, but it really isn't necessary.

Hey everyone. Here's the story:

I've made a game which is *almost* functioning completely. Blah blah blah, i'll get to the point now. I'm a crappy level designer, so I'm asking you guys to help me create hard (but beatable) levels for it.

Here's what you do:

First, click here to get to the game, then, once you're at the main menu at the game, click "Custom levels". Click any of the nine blank levels, then hit "edit".

Once you're at the level creator screen, use the "block" and "tool" menus to design your level. Once you're done, you can test it by clicking "test" (at the top righthand corner of the screen).

If you like your level, go back to the level creator screen, click "tools", and in the tools menu, click "View map as ASCII". Then copy the text given to you, and post it here. Also, if you feel like it, you could take a screenshot of your level. That would be greatly appreciated.

Also, you will get credit for making a level. Either it'll be on the level info screen (i'll put "level made by <link to your account>"), or i'll add some credits, and put "Level contributers: <your account link here>"

Thanks in advance!

Well, maybe it will get "blue" this time.

Yeah, it got blue right after it left the portal :-(

I'm going to resubmit one last time either later today or on saturday...hoping it'll get a better response. I fixed about...nine billion bugs, and i'm pretty sure it's bugproof now. Just...have...to make...sure...

Another reason why I am going to submit it again, was because each time i tried to submit, we had "craptection" (conjunction of crap and protection...so crappy protection) that would ban people on join flood...and since everyone had the same host, it looked like they were all clones, and so they were banned. That happened to about 50 people...so that's at least 3 bad reviews about how people couldn't log in, and maybe 30 zeros...so yeah, now we've got everything fixed..( i hope )

One thing i can't seem to fix, is the fact that this program takes up an average of 70% CPU. I'm pretty sure it's a socket issue, because if i take out the part that defines the socket, it runs fine...so go figure =P

A spoof on something; something that alters the storyline of the target of the parody.

I can't believe the year 1337 has passed. They were completely oblivious to the fact that it may have been the 1337est year in the history of 1337 years.

Well, history repeats itself. Just wait till 8:05.

I woke up and looked at the clock this morning, and it was 5:55...and i'm not kidding...but i never really thought much about it until i saw this threat :O

Right now Im trying to figure out how many people had the Internet in 1991.

...You want to find the exact number? Or to the nearest millionth?

Because unless you have access to every signup record for every ISP in the world, that's almost impossible...well, you could always just...ask who had internet back then...

Unfortunately, Miik's right...until the developers at macromedia make a more flexible socket class, i'm afraid it'll never happen =(...unless we harass macromedia so much that they have no choice but to do as we request =P

I know Actionscript well enough to where I could program everything that happens in game, but not well enough to communicate between several flash movies.

All I need help with is making it so that you can send and get text from other people through the flash movie (the chat part of it) and also send and recieve data on other character's appearances, position, and which way they're facing.

So is there anybody who has any knowlage on how to do this?

http://newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=229951

there's one example of flash integrated with IRC (internet relay chat)

IT uses the XMLSocket() class. REsearch that on google.

Perl can be used as a good data server, although, there's only one very crude way of pinging clients (to test if they';re still connected) that i know of.

I can help you a bit, like a coach, but i'm not going to get involved with you in some huge project that's going to take years to complete.
