I never really understood why anyone would want to make an all code game. They're ugly, the improvement in performance is most times negligible, and they're not really appealing to anyone who isn't a programmer.

As a programmer I can give you plenty of reasons:
- It's fun
- It doesn't require the trouble of getting an animator
- It's a good programming e-peen boost
- The file size is really really small. Seriously, you could fit dozens if not hundreds of API games for the same file size as the red glove in your NG user pic.
- API games usually take little time to complete.

Ok guys, whats the difference between CS3 and 8? cos you can save a cs3 to an 8 file and it wont make a difference to the file.. so whats so different between the two?

Mainly that Flash 8 doesn't support AS3. If you save an AS3 CS3 file into flash 8, it won't be able to read your AS3 codes properly.

if this gets above a 2, im going to shoot someone :P

Well if it does, at least its another submission under the belt :3

Also i noticed with 8 there isn't the pressure sensor for the brush tool any more.. which pissed me off >:C

1337 day

So when that page finally comes around itd be proper to only speak in 1337 nerd talk for that page... any regular english will be purged!

haha sounds great luis.

meh...sick of bumping my own thread for the last few days for a solution to a problem.

finding a phrase or word within the name of an instance, how?

I think you'll find Xeptic came up with the idea first D:

Ok, sounds good. I'm gonna have to practice up on my 1337 S|c1ll5 (See, thats bad, that was supposed to say skills)

I still don't get how the fuck it passed. How can people think that deserves to be in the portal?

probably more of those people who look at the thumbnail and throw a vote down and then move to another submission without even watching it

+ .086, I'm getting you that 2 x-factor11, I SWEAR IT!

I'm gonna feel like an awful person when I go into 1337 speak mode. Specifically because people I know have the power to see what I typed.

I'll then be hunted down.

I guess I just don't get this then. I don't see what so fun about manually typing in the coordinates of every vector image on the stage.

It does require the trouble of manually typing in the code for every piece of art. it also looks ugly.

- It's a good programming e-peen boost

Why? It's not necessarily an impressive feat. It's just tedious.

- The file size is really really small. Seriously, you could fit dozens if not hundreds of API games for the same file size as the red glove in your NG user pic.

A vast overstatement. The file size for that image is about 7kbs. Assuming you're able to make each game less than a kb, you would still be stretched to fit even a dozen games in there (though that still would be impressive). Your point about filesize is noted, I'm just not sure it makes it worth it.

- API games usually take little time to complete.

Well, more time than it would to make a game without API with similarly simple graphics.

I'm not saying API games are wrong and anyone who does them is stupid or anything. I just don't get why anyone would want to. I just don't see the appeal.

Animating

Ever just have one of those day when animating is just real fun - like the simplest animation you make makes you laugh your ass off or just smile non-stop? I think I animate for those lovely moments. Every flash is an adventure awaiting to be drawn. Every flash ya got the chance to try out something different - their's a shitload of room for experimenting and animating in "your own way".
I learned today that I very much enjoy drawing decapitated goats.

Those are the most absolutely sexifying decapitated goat I have ever seen in my entire life. I want to make love to their neck cavities.

but not really.

I FUCKING HATE BLACK ROSE!

He's the guy doing the voice for Ray in my series Exile, the reason both chapter 2 and 3 are taking so long is because he takes literally 3 months to do the voices. I just got his voices FINALLY today, and guess what? THEY"RE SHIT! He gave the character a soft british accent and all of the lines sound like he's talking to a dying dog.

*disgruntled*

Even though its not on the hour, its still the 28th of September so its still the Reg Lounge's birthday so...Happy Birthday Reg Lounge! It's been a great place to talk about my supposed gender :P.

Haunted Mansion Game Collab [Idea]
I've been throwing around an idea for a game collab for halloween, because for some reason I just feel like making [another] one.

So I've come up with the idea of a "Haunted Mansion". You start off as character, roaming around and suddenly finding a deserted mansion /cliche. You go, in and the doors close behind you. Somehow, someway, you find out that you need to collect (number of minigames) gems. So you go into each room, beat each minigame, and get all the gems to get out.

Each minigame would be made by a different person (or more with artists and programmers if they want a top-notch game). And somebody (I if I was leader) would make the rest, with the player walking around into each room and thus going to each minigame.

Personally, I think it's a good idea, and I may do it. The game would need to have a character drawn before-hand (so you don't have different characters for each minigame). I mean, one character and everybody would have to draw one that looks like it. And the games would have to at least try to be scary. No "candy" games or anything. Remember, this would take place in a haunted mansion, not some street filled with 10 year olds.

So, it's an idea. Worth it? Suggestions? Other ideas?
