Caffeine doesn't make you more creative, it makes you more focused.
So it helps to have a plan ahead of time.

Which is great for me, since my creativity is inversely proportional to focus :p Gotta love those long, productive mornings. Too bad it never lasts.

There's probably a better way to organise stuff than just swapping everything's depth. What code are you using? I couldn't reproduce your problem using normal dragging methods :/

Oh God, I find some time to check the NG forums for the first time in a month and everyone's lost to some game which I've yet to play anything connected to :p

In my experience, looking at cached bitmaps crosseyed causes them to redraw and recache.

By all means experiment to see what works, but in my experience just exporting bitmaps externally has saved a lot of hassle if not filesize.

Cuttlefish!

I don't know - I think it could have developed aesthetically without losing its mindlessness. Like, different kinds of insane violence, different locations and experimenting with different art styles.

In other news, I swear anyone who needs inspiration for monsters or something should just take a wiki-walk through marine arthropods. There are some awesome species out there.

Bollocks to that - you'll feel worse about things if you just try to screw him over at any cost. Just try and get your money in, and maybe put his name out so other coders are forwarned.

What do the sponsors say about all of this? Obviously they're under no obligations to you, but it's in their interests as sponsors and indeed decent human beings to help you out given the situation.

It's fairly self-explainatory.

Too - excessively: to a degree exceeding normal or proper limits; "too big"

Much - frequently or in great quantities: "I don't drink much"; "I don't travel much"

You're doing more than Flash can handle. Either draw a smaller area or eat the lag.

Also, Wrong forum.

Tom-

It's true though, NG isn't exactly a site the average flash developer would care to visit since it's full of rude and immature little kids (or at least 99% of it is)

Tom's been doing a pretty good job of getting out of that whole feel, though. I've no idea how someone could go about improving the image of Newgrounds on a global scale - it's really a pioneering site and a force for massive good on the Flash scene and nobody seems to care.

I've actually got an ant somewhere...

You know you've got a problem with procrastination...

You commit an evening to finishing final boss sprites but instead spend it making tastless 9/11 parodies in a rendition of Conway's Game of Life...

it's amazing how fun the simple things can be sometimes... GO, gliders, GO!

Awesome! That could be the most useful Flash app since Denvish's API generator.

why would you want to do that? Newgrounds can handle an upload.

For whenever the file size would be too big

If the filesize is too big then the last thing you'd want to do is put it on your own unreliable server - it'd get unbelievably expensive if it actually stayed up at all.

You can PM Tom to have your upload limit temporarily raised if you want to upload a large file.
