Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

i love how you just threw godspeed in there
xD

i might be able to accept the title of "Messiest desk on NewGrounds" xD

the way i would do it is the way the guy said above me...the first part (the time consuming way)...just because i'm not extremely adept in AS...

anyway...real reason i'm posting a reply is just to say that i bounced on that trampoline about 3 or 4 times in a row and my guy catapulted off the screen and never came back down....oops! haha

looks like a sweet game tho...when it's finished
=]

i really like it...it kinda looks like it's a construction paper yoshi world or somethin
=P

if you want to create a professional game for free (PC only) I can recommend:
Unreal Development Kit

but seriously, to make a professional console game you'll have to:
-have a very large team (you mentioned Call of Duty, seriously, do you think it's made by one guy?)
-have a very expensive devkit (yes, it's waaaaaay more expensive than XNA and you'll need to be a certified developer)

so, either use XNA or give up on it.
It's a very special thing to be able to make console games for such a low amount of money.

be happy, I live in Holland and we can't even use XNA.

thanks...i'll definatley try that out...and i know CoD wasn't made by just one guy or even 10 guys...i'm not trying to make games to sell...money isn't what i'm after...i want to make games with my friends that we can say we made...i'm not planning on selling anything

yea..it's $99 a year...or you can pay for just 4 months for $49

no...not at all...for one, my friends participate with me (so not alone)..and i don't want to make another call of duty...i have alot of game ideas and i get new ones everyday...in fact, i have a new flash game that will hopefully be out in a couple weeks...(hopefully it won't suck like my previous ones)..but the thing i want to be free is the part about playing your own game on your console...it's silly to charge for that

true, true...but when i say 'console game', i'm not thinking of a game like that...i mean a FPS or a third person 3d adventure game...i like games like castle crashers, but not as much as other games...i've never played castle crashers for 9 hours straight, but call of duty? yes!

i was wondering if anyone on NG makes games using other media than flash. i'm trying to move in that direction myself because flash is just so limiting and i've been looking into XNA which (if you don't know) is a program you can use to make games and then play them on your 360. have any of you used it?

it sounds pretty awesome to me, however, the $99 anual fee is a bit rediculous...the software is free but in order to play your games on your 360, you have to pay them. is there a way to make & play your games on your 360 for free?

i'm eager to hear if anyone else is making games like this and not just using flash...anyway

tongue first...dick later

hey guys...i'm looking into buying an xbox 360 (finally) and i should have enough money in about 3 weeks...i just have a question about one particular model: the xbox 360 arcade...i'm told that it has internal memory (like 200MB or something) but what i am unsure about is: can you still use an external harddrive with it? if i went and bought a 60G HD, could i use it with this model?

also...since it has an internal harddrive already (even if it's small) will i be able to use my old xbox games on it without buying another HD?

here's a link to the one i'm talking about if you're unsure: http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductD etails.aspx?product_id=74514

thanks newgrounders...i figured you all would be the best to ask

haha

the reason for the invites is so that assholes won't flood the site and never seed, so fucking seed.

hey man...i DO seed...i've been torrenting for years and i know how to not be a dick...even if i didn't, i would get banned...theres a thing on demonoid that shows if you've been seeding or not...they would ban me............but..........they won't

WackyAnimation was kind enough to give me a code...so everyone...go look at his page!

thanks

does anyone out there have any invitations to demonoid? because i have been watching the site for weeks and the registrations are never open...please, please, please help a fellow torrent user. if anyone could be so kind to invite me to demonoid, i would be eternally greatfull!

hey guys...i can't seem to find what the max flash size parameters are...i thought they used to be on the submission page, but i guess they aren't anymore
anyone know what they are?

yes because i just got a comment from one of the members that said "fuck you" like a hundred times and all of my scores dropped severely

hey all...i was wondering...
everytime i vote low (like a "0") on a kitty krew movie (or a similar group), they always know i did and vote low on all my submissions...i can't find out how they're doing this since i don't review, i just vote...plz tell me cuz this is some bull! voting is supposed to be private

the only way i can possibly think of is that tom fulp is pulling a 'september 11th' on newgrounds...what i mean is the NG mods ARE the [KK]...just a conspiracy theory for ya
=]

but yea...anyone know how they're doing it?

hey all..i have a slight dilemma
i have a game im working on and its got some variables...i also have a MC inside the game that needs to display the variable values but it isn't working...heres what i did:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this.my_variable=_root.my_variable;
}

it will show the variable when it was first established, but if i change it in the game, it remains the same...plz help
=]

im obviously still connected to the internet but the only place i can use it is in my browser

and the issue isn't the firewall, i know how to forward ports

hey guys, i got a question.
ever since i got a virus and had to re-install windows, i havn't been able to run any applications that require the internet (except for my web browser)
for instance: AIM, WoW, Full Tilt Poker
i used to be able to run all of them before i re-installed but now i get an error about the internet connection
can someone plz help or tell me whats wrong?
plz
thx
=[

i figure i should give this a bump cuz i still havn't figured out how to do it

well..no
but the weird thing about this is that on the next frame after you enter your text, theres a dynamic text box that displays what you entered and THAT box shows what you entered but if i put a MC that checks what you entered, nothing happens

i just now tried that and it didn't work...if it means anything, it's an INPUT box
it's not dynamic or static

i am trying to do something like this:
(this is the best way i can explain it)
if(_root.my_text_box==something){

newgrounders!
plz help!
i am trying to make a command that checks if a player entered something in a text field and if it's the right thing, something happens, if not, nothing does
however, when i traced what the input box equaled, i got <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="20" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">text here</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
how do i do what i need to?!?!
plz help NG!
thx
