Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Here is a screenshot of the preloader...

After that it shows a warning message when the game has finished loading...

And here is the instructions part.

Nice looking menu and preloader there. But one question. Is my cursor being used for the game?

Yes, your mouse pointer will be used.

Jozz, The game Loader, Details and everything look amazing.
You never cease to amaze me with these things.
I have high hopes with this one :]

I'm gonna keep posted From here on.

Cool, I'll keep trying to improve my levels once my computer gets fixed. Then I can send you and make some levels.

Woot! I have just finished another level. Its theme is caves. Sorry I didn't mention it. Take a look here.

To be honest, it's not very good compared to my other levels but tell me what you think, your going to have to put the custom cursor in. Also I'll send send you my cloud level as soon as my computer gets fixed. Seeing as it's on there.

Very Nice!

Good Job, Added.

Soon I will need everyone's bios.

Cool! I would get to work on bios right away if i could just know the details we need to add. Cheers, also, im glad you liked my level.
And I can send you my cloud level after this Tuesday.

Location: England
About Me: I love to boogie, I love to boogie on a Saturday night. To be honest I actually do like to boogie on a Saturday night. That's all folks!

There ya go!
Just out of curiosity, am i a co-author?

Okay, heres my Bios:
REAL NAME: Andrew Mayes
AGE: 13 (my b-day is in april, so depending on when the collab is released you might want to change that) Although I just thoguht of a really cool idea! You could use actionscript to get the dte and then calculate how old we are, so then if people see it in a year or moe the ages will still be correct :D (I could help with that I guess)
LOCATION: Cheltenham, England
DESCRIPTION: Im fairly short, I enjoy making games and I like animals (cats, bunnies, and most fluffy things mainly)

And yes, I am still working on the intro. Infact It will probably be done by the end of today or tommorow.

That is a really cool idea. To be honest I would'nt know how to do that so i couldnt help, so I guess Jozz will leave it up to you lol.

Well, I know how to make it calculate the date, so I guess we could just subtract the years we were born in. I'm in bed using my iPod but ill have a go in the morning, at lunch at school, or when I get home. Also, I noticed were the same age and both live in the uk :) do you live anywhere near Cheltenham?

lol, this is kinda scary. We are the same age, both live in england, both the same level with same aura and both like roughtly the same things lol. Anyway, I am working on the AS now.

Haha, maybe we are twins, but whens your birthday?
Also Is there anything you would like me to do Jozz other than make levels, i have tons of free time!

Also, i live in Ascot, South East of Cheltenham, search it on wikipedia then you'll see a map.

My B-days April 7th. I just searched Ascot in google maps. You live quite near my friend, Rob, and my nan. You wouldn't happen to be going to the RAF airshow this sunday aswell would you?

heres a better map

oops, forgot the map:
owww, its too big to upload here (link)

Okay, Ive finished the code. Heres what to do:
Make a new layer and insert a keyframe at the start of the bios, and insert a frame at the end. Click on the first frame and put this code on the frame:

agedisplay = new Date();
agedisplay= (agedisplay.getFullYear()-(yearborn));

and make a dynamic text box with the var "agedisplay"
Then, on each of the frames for the bios, just use this code:

yearborn = 1995;

but change 1995 to whenever the person was born.

And thats it! Now it will display the correct age even in years to come!

Nice coding, and I was born in 1994. But have you tested it because it just doesn't seem to look like it would work.

Jozz, can you post an update of everything so we can see who's done what and what we've got left to do. Cheers

HEY,
I'M IN!
Check your mail..

REAL NAME: Peter T.
AGE: 19
LOCATION: Europe
DESCRIPTION: I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.

Yes, I have fully tested the script and it works fine.

Hey Guys,

Sorry if I can't post updates lately, and reply to your posts, but I am having school issues with other things as well, so please trust me, soon I'll will be able to do everything.

Jozz xx

REAL NAME: Adam Ringlund
AGE: 13
LOCATION: WI, USA

DESCRIPTION: Just a 13 year who has flash, doesn't really know what kind of animations I want to do yet but that's okay.

Wow, lots of people are 13 here! Infact, so far everyone in this collab is 13! (I think)

Just wondering, how big is this game gonner be? Im guessing most people here arnt amazing coders, but people are going to have to be limited to filesize rather then levels.

Or you could make it so that it loads the level, just before you play it, so that you have lots of 1-5 second waits rather then a huge 10 min wait at the beggining. If you need help with this i can probably help.
