Depredation, I have two questions for you:

1. Are we aloud to enter more than one entry?

2. What time will people be voting to the entries that day when the contest has ended?

Here's some answers!

1. Yes you are, but modifications don't count. If you submit more than 1 you can still only win once but you have more of a chace of winning.

2. Voting will be on the 7th of May. I will be posting around 3:00pm(GMT). So that the American Voters have woken up. If i don't post by then i will definatley post before 9pm.

Any more questions?

Will the screensaver be hosted on newgrounds website?

Yes. So everyone can Download it. Your screensaver could be on millions of people's computers.

The competition ends on May 6th but the voting is on May 7th. This is for any last minute entries and it gives me time to organise it.

SWF | PHP

Modified a bit (mostly graphics), taken out the trail thing - I was gonna add smoke but it adds unnecessary lag. A screensaver is supposed to run smoooooth, so yah. To see it at full FPS, download the SWF to your computer and open it from there.

Also, kinda unrelated, the .fla was 250kb but I resaved under a different name and it cut the filesize to 16kb (1kb more than the swf). Hawt.


Sup, bitches :)

Forgot to mention one thing. The tank moves slightly every 10 seconds to avoid burning the screen. You won't notice it moving though, it's literally at most 0.2 pixels.


Sup, bitches :)

OMFG HOTNESS. Amazing liam. It's weird how flash saves at a different filesize depending randomly(i think). At only 15kb, that is awsome.

Everyone else still has time to flame liaaam and take their place on Newgrounds!

By the way, can any one who's entered and has an entry email them to me at playportal@homtail.co.uk.
Please only mail them to me if you have your final version ready, i don't want 100's of files in my inbox.

Suggestions?

woah, i like yours, some of the others are good, but i can see yours as a screensaver.

i would suggest making the everything, by everyone more visable, and if you can, after the brick have covered the screen change it to the problems of the future, today, and then have it loop

Here is a few pics you can use in your screensavers. Feel free to use them but you can still make your own. I made it in flash mx 2004, so it should work for you.

OMFG NAUGHTY PICS!!!

It's called screenswift, you can download a free trial of the net.

UPDATE

I made a few little adjustments. It has a little shine to the words that cross the screen and the tank looks more real.

Thanks for all the suggestions

Updates:
Made the text a little clearer while keeping the fading/3D look.
Increased the size threshold one notch to allow for a little more randomness.
Added looping backgrounds.

Anything else?

Pretty perfect from my point of view. I looked at it for about ten mins, lol.
