He does sometimes ask me if he's french, but I don't think he does it any more often than japapanese, swedish, american, and english; so I wouldn't go as far as blaming it for cheating.

Maybe it just means that a bigger percentage of the characters in the database are from the countries above.

Oh hi there 7isunlucky. Wa'zzup

Actually I'm pretty sure load isn't in uppercase. onClipEvent(load), not onClipEvent(Load)

the latter will not work

the enterFrame event means the actions will be executed every 1/fps seconds. You're telling flash every frame that gravity 1 = 0, and then you're telling it that gravity1 = 0 + gravity2, so gravity1 will always be equal to gravity2. You need to have your first statements in a load event (eg onClipEvent(load){) instead of enterframe. That will tell flash that gravity1 is equal to 0 when the frame is loaded, but won't set it back to 0 again on the next frame.

pseudocode
on load:
gravity1 = 0;
gravity2 = 2;

on enterFrame:
gravity1 += gravity2;

Haha seriously? In france we say "Cah-soh-toa", which phonetically translates to "Casse-toi" which means "get the fuck out"

Either way you shouldn't memorise that by phonetic. It should become obvious by intuition. These are really basic notions

And then you're forced to make flash games for kids for 90 years until you eventually die from a heart attack at the age of 107 because you don't have a degree or any proper education.

Don't take advice from ninja chickens.

Because flash 8 is so awesome and Adobe is an evil jewish company that eats children.

I haven't payed much attention to that game but wow, it looks pretty awesome. I toyed around a little with the concept of zero-G shooters in flash but it didn't really work out, I hope futuremark can got it right.

I played well over 100 hours of it and I base value on enjoyment, price and time had from it. I paid £25 for L4D, if I can get 25 hours for £25 that's a brilliant deal, there are a huge amount of shit games right now that cost >£30 and play for about 3 hours, Call of duty 4/5 being perfect examples.

I played WoW over 200 days, true story. (and 200 days means 4800 hours, not 200 days since i started). Usually I don't bother buying those games that cost 60 euros and play for 3 hours. Crysis is a perfect example of that. I finished Crysis warhead in about 2 hours and a half if i remember correctly, good thing I just bought Warhead and not the other one. I usually just torrent those kind of games.

I'm curious about console players, what makes it more enjoyable than PC? I'm perfectly comfortable here on my PC chair and I've been using keyboads ever since I played the original Rayman at 5 years of age. Also it's not like the game would look much better on a TV, I'm quite happy with my 22" LCD. Anything bigger would just

l4d2 demo finally coming tonight? I had the game fully preloaded so I could play it as soon as it goes live, and sure enough now it's "pre-loading" it again except it's at 33% and it takes like 5 minutes for 1% at 800kBps. I'm gonna buy the necessary resources incase it is released tonight. let's get at least 4 people from newgrounds so we can have one NG team.

sorry about all this l4d spam for those of you who aren't interested in gaming. it will end tomorrow after we all post about how incredibly awesome the game is (probably)

As you probably know, AI stands for Artificial intelligence. Key word: intelligence. Do you see any artificial intelligence in the code you just posted? OP has a valid point, AI is probably one of the most complicated fields of game programming. If AI was so easy, then we would have robots that give us love advice and go to the supermarket for us.

You got way more than all the help you needed. The first reply to the thread had everything you asked for - a pseudocode instead of the real code so you could "understand" it on your own. You even got very long in-depth explanations by ThePeasant and some other people. How could you be asking for anything more just to make a ball bounce?

So stop wasting people's time and instead of whining for more codes you won't understand, grab some physics book and LEARN orjust wait a few years in school. Move on to something you can understand.

Physics book? To understand why a ball slows down in the air and then falls back to the floor when you throw it up? OP's problems are not in his physics studies, they are in his head. There's a difference between being retarded and lacking of physics knowledge.

holy Moses, you're joking right? What you're asking for is something that an 8 year old could figure out. We live on earth, we see gravity every day. Even the 8 year olds know that when they play with their balls, the balls constantly accelerate downwards, not upwards. Now obviously they don't understand those words, and probably neither do you, but they understand how shit works, which you apparently don't. Your code is extremely retarded. You are even more retarded than your code. I really hope you're joking because I'd rather think of you as an immense douchebag than a mentally handicapped person. I could figure this shit out on my own when I was 11 for god's sake.

Knowing that you're 13 years old or younger, I wouldn't be so harsh on you if it weren't for you acting like a total douche on the bbs. Go away.

wtf?
velocity += acceleration
_y += velocity
velocity *= -1 when hit floor

turns are fucked

I'm pretty much pulling things out of my ass here so I'm probably going to be corrected by Gust or some other nerd, but I think that Infinity counts as an int which is bigger than all other numbers, so when flash compares number of times looped to maximum number of times looped, it never stops looping if the maximum number of times is infinity.

Maybe not, but you are just arguing, so neither do you.

You seem to be mistaking an internet forum for something more serious like a computer science lecture.

Why do you say that? He knows this is a forum, why can't he choose to react the way he wants? Besides, I don't see why you're talking about cs lectures. Why would a cs lecture be more important or more serious?
