Can't wait, though I've stopped playing the other modes except capts...I need wards on the map or I'm always paranoid. I started playing meepo on my smurf account tho, he's so fun :D

guys help, every time i shoot missiles they overwrite each other

this.duplicateMovieClip(_root.missile,"missile",1);

I heard the next flash has gradients, but should I upgrade??

People actually pick balanced teams in very high? That's motivation for me to keep playing

In the past 20 games, I've won one non-cm and every cm

I assume this is running poorly for everyone else, as well?
I know how to fix it so it'll run at 60 unless you really abuse it, but it's gonna be a huge pain in the ass.

16fps cmon man. What is it exactly? Hopefully not addChilding a bunch of squares...

testing a framework i'm building. Yeah, I addChilded a bunch of squares and they do nothing except sit there looking... Er... Pretty, I guess.

the framework looks and works as close to the regular AS3 syntax as possible, but it uses blitting. I also added a few extra features I always wondered why Adobe didn't add themselves.

the reason it's so slow is because every child added to the stage becomes as large as the stage. I figured it'd be slow, and to counter it i'll simply reduce the size of each BMD to whatever it needs to be (no larger), and optimize the update function some more. It's just going to be a massive pain in the ass, and adding and removing children will probably be pretty slow until I can figure out how to optimize it.

Does it allow for rotation and other fun stuff bmds can't do easily?

haha, maybe? :P

I just started this yesterday, so there's a lot of crap I haven't even started yet. I got an event system working (MUCH faster than the regular one, and it pretty much works the same) and most DisplayObjects done, with an Object auto-numbering system behind it all.

well, I finished a small library for network and file management (appropriately named "Network and File Manager") and am close to finishing two more. One for I/O, and one for 3D.

This is an entire framework, not just a small library with useful tools. There's a damn good chance i'll never actually finish this one, but it's really fun to play with when I have no internet connection.

i've been running Ubuntu 12.10 ever since I learned about fancontrol.
How're you running FD? Wine or VM?
I've been running it via wine for a while now, but i've been thinking about simply slapping it on my XP VM and running with that, instead. It's simply too unstable to use for more than half an hour with practical purposes.

Ubuntu 11+ uses Unity, not KDE. I, for one, am happy with the new environment. The biggest challenge for it was removing all the bugs, and they seem to have done that since its first release.

Before Unity, though, I actually preferred Gnome over KDE. Just felt better.

anyway, the point is: i've never used Kate before. How is it for general-purpose developing?

I'm not really into proper IDE's. But if I were to want to use FD I'd run it in a VM, I hate Wine. I used to have a stripped down version of XP that I made with N-lite that ran very well on a VM.

I love proper IDEs. They do so much for you that a text editor with a compiler won't. I'm pretty sure Kate won't import everything for you (one of FD's best features, in my opinion. Saves a hell of a lot of time, collectively)

also, what do you mean by "stripped down" and how in the world did you accomplish that?

If I remember right, there is an effort to port FD to work natively on Linux.

yeah, so far they've been able to get it to work unstably in wine. Can you guess what i'm using?
I assume they're trying to get it to work with wine, and then port that to native. I haven't seen evidence to the contrary, at any rate.

speaking of which: what the crap is "native" for a debian-based system? (I assume all the major distros are different, judging by the individual packages and ways of getting them) I would say bash, but i'm pretty sure you can't create fully-featured C-like applications with it. My next guess would have been Python, except that sure as hell wasn't developed specifically for linux.

I'm cheating so hard with the code for this game...but it's keeping me from hanging on a problem for a long time, so I guess it's ok. Even with a game design doc, structuring the code is a hassle, but whatever. IT'S ALMOST DONE. Which means the sequels are almost done from a code perspective since a great amount of that will stay the same :D

I released my game on Steam, and about 3 people brought up "Newgrounds" in the Steam message board for it, then said "Oh, I guess New Grounds is censored. That's weird!"

It sucks.

Yess. i dont want actionscripts 3 crap.

on (release){
    var apple:Map = new Integer("Multiplayer")
    parent.parent.parent.root.parent.gotoAndPlay(apple, "start")
    duplicateMovieClip(this)
}

Make sure you put that code somewhere on a button nested within a MovieClip called "superbutonst4rt" or else it won't work.
