Cool, add some swords or fists to follow the mouse. Though, you were probably going to do that anyway, lol.

Stop hogging all the games :D. jk.

I dunno how to do that though.
And even if I did, I'd have to explain how a guy can slash at a robot with a sword from a mile away. We can't all be muvaluvvin Sephiroth, y'know.
Anyhoo, I think I'm pretty much done. Check the swf again.

You'd also have to explain how a guy can hover a mouse cursor over a robot from a screen away. IT'S A GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME...

Though I do believe if you used mouse.hide(); somewhere in your actionscript and made a sword movieclip which followed the mouse cursor whereever it went, I believe you could replicate the 'hovering sword' effect.

And from there, something about making an animation so that 'moving' the mouse will make the sword 'move' as well. Like, gotoAndStop(2); where the second frame of your sword clip is in fact another movie clip with a hovering sword slashing... or something.

Any help?

Nah, I think I'll leave it. I never liked personalised cursors anyway.

sword truely isn't the best idea, but a high calibre sniper rifle or a rocket launcher should make it quite clear

Fair enough. I just suggested it because the idea of Breakout came to mind, which could be played using a mouse as the paddle and... yeah, you get the idea. Like I said, fair enough.

Game List Update #2 (50)

We have 50 games total thus far, but only 25 have been approved. Get those games fixed so I can raise the amount of games you get paid for! Once again, if your game is not on here, please resend it, or get online so we can talk. Next update, I will be calculating total Mouse Games, Variable Games, etc. so people can start developing in the low areas.

------------------------------------

Approved for Release (25)
#004N/Cryzabey-BlackFang /Cannon Blast
*Your game has font issues, consider changing to verdana/arial/etc. You also had a small _root. problem, but I took care of that.

#005M/Wonchop /Ninja Rock Hopper
*Works well

#006N/Wonchop /Henshin Time
*I laughed my ass off, thanks for the awesome game

#016N/Nuggs /Catsup

#017N/Nuggs /Play the Movie
*I turned off boundaries for the hand to move off the screen, because they were not working appropriately. It works fine though.

#018N/Nuggs /Hammer Time!
*Logically, it would make sense that you would have to hit the nails into the wood, not hit them in the side. The game is approved, but consider making this game a bit more logical for the sake of quality.

#38N/-zoy- / Cloud eater!
*Beautiful game, great job!

#40M/chaz/ Potato Pealer
*Your game is fine, believe it or not. The only part you got wrong was the _root.whatever, which should be _root.g.whatever, but I fixed that with a quick search and replace.

#41N/-donutMaster- / Feed Blobo
*Great game, the code needed to be tweaked but its okay. I lowered the difficulty for easier gameplay. Loved the great actionscript job!

Please resend your game once you have made the correct modifications... any questions can be directed to me.

*Update Recieved, now pending judgement

*Update Recieved, now pending judgement

#030N/GolemDX / Avoid!
*You cannot use the same game from last time.

#37M/-Blunt- /Shoot 6 cows

I seriously, didn't think EITHER of the first two would be approved :P, I'll ease the gargoyle one (I'll send you the easier one + the latest two I made).

This is great news :).

OH CRAPP!!
50 games already!?!?!
Really makes me think, that I won't be able to finish before all slots are full :(

There are limited slots? Oh, noes!
Gaaaah, i have hardly any time for working on flash microgames now...
but i'll sure as hell try to squeeze something out anyway!

I think so...hell., how many of these can fit in 5 megs??? Previous one held 50 in 4.8 megs

Heh, who knows. Most of the filesize gets taken up by sound effects. And if it goes over you can always ask Wade for more upload space. I'm pretty sure this series has gotten popular enough to warrant an extra 1 or 2 megabyte wait.

Can I keep on spamming this thread if I join?

#023M/Chubbthehippo /Stitch the Hand
*Your graphics need work, and you need to indicate which side of the stitch to start on.

ok redid the hand. i think it looks good. also added a start finish thing.

#024N/Chubbthehippo /Catch the Smiley
*Your graphics are fine, but your code does not work?

the code works for me. u have to press space to catch the smiley. if hes next to the box he'll get pushed in.

#025N/Chubbthehippo /Dodge the Carrot
*Graphics are lacking, and code does not have _root.cstatus

ok added bg and changed the character into a human. also added cstatus.

#027N/Chubbthehippo / Attack of the Evil Hammer Monkey in Space!!!

meh...just dont add this game. i dont like it :(

#028N/Chubbthehippo / Snail Racing!
*Change the graphics on the grass, and fix your code and its fine.

wats wrong with the code? there is a glitch that if u go 2 fast and then it stops, after that you wont be able to move. but by the time the turtles done resting becuz of too fast, time will be up. so is there any other prob with the code?

ok ill send u dodge the carrot and stitch the hand. ill also send u the bat 1. the other 1's im not sure wat u want to change. :)

Chubb,

The if(_root.cstatus == 1) { makes the code not trigger until the game is ready to be played (after the game transitions on the screen, and the rules show). Your game starts immediately, which means you do not have enough time to see the screen and see the rules.

Make it so that your code does not run until _root.cstatus == 1; If you don't, then the game starts early.

did u get the email? wat i did was in the MC i made 2 frames. first frame shows everything but all broken apart. then i gave the frame this code:

stop();
if (_root.cstatus == 1) {
play();
}

so then on the second frame it has evrything working and all. and theres a stop() command on the frame. so will that work? becuz itll take a long timeto get that into almost every single line of code. also, wats wrong with no 4, and no. 7. u sed the code doesnt work. wich code?

Sent you an updated version of Eclair Eater :)

I don't have the time to read through 22 pages of this, but from the one page I have read (this one) this collab looks like it's gonna be even better than the first. Good luck :)

Maybe. I think i'm gonna stop flash soon anyway. So if I do make one it'll probably be my last flash.

That's incredibly sad to hear, you have an amazing amount of talent.

I hope you submit a game or two, I'd really appreciate it, you were a tremendous help last time ... your games were great.

Well, when I look at it, i'm 13. I do have alot of friends and a social life, but alot of the time when i'm at home I just sit around for hours on flash producing nothing. I just think I need to be doing something different.

However, I will do a game or two for this collab. I'm just stuck for ideas atm :)

Hey, my space dodger game wasn't on the accepted, pending, or needs improvement list.

Pending, dont worry. Ill look at it tonight, I just recieved it before I posted the list.

YAY! Anyway, as far as updates go with me... I think I'm gonna have to resend the Portal of Light one to ya jmtb, I found a small glitch in it (nothing that'll ruin teh collab, I didn't even really notice it until I looked at the script).

I'm making a game with -fuzzz- that I'm really enjoying :D I'd post a preview, but idk how -fuzzz- feels about posting unfinished work (I don't wants to get him mad and lose his amazing talents!)

But I also made another game, gotta fix it a lot, but basically, use the mouse to shoot the arrow and hit the target. (Looking for artist, think I found one but idk if its definite yet)

Really Early Version (If you just barely pull the arrow back and let go, you'll see why I'm not happy with the engine yet :'()

Ok well I am new at AS and i was Just wondering what the code would be to make it so u need to click the arrow instead of hold it.(Key.isDOWN(Key.LEFT)) LIke what should i change the Down action too. To get it so you need to click the arrow key. Thanks

Wow that was a Quick response but.... it still did the same thing. I still can hold the left to make it move multiple times. Do I need to do any thing with the accual mC im trying to move.

on (keyPress "<Left>"){
_root.abc.nextFrame();
}
Thats my code. What i want is so it goes to next Frame when you click left but not when you hold it.(like when u hold it it keeps going to the nextframes

Some nice looking games in here, I will start making another tomorrow with a fellow brit artist. We're looking for ideas, so any help would be cool in the think tank area, but we're gonna do something witty. And hopefully it'll look sweet too.
