Porting Flash Games onto a Console.

I was discussing something with one of my pals, and I was quite curious if anyone tried to port a Flash Game onto a console? I was kinda curious on how to do this since upcoming projects of mine and a few friends are going to be more epic than expected. I'm sure it's much more harder than it sounds.

So if anyone has any tips or ideas, throw em at me. I'm really curious on how to do this.

I'm guessing you're talking about a different Keith lol so who is the other one?

I am not sure, but my wild guess will be KaynSlamdyke.

The closest thing would be Alien Hominid, me think.

Sorry for double

Flash to Console
I'm pretty sure you can't just "port" a Flash app to a console. Two completly different worlds your working with. If you wanted to do that you can't. You would have to code it from scratch to work with the console. Kinda like programming for Windows. You have to make it for Windows and when you do it won't work outside Windows.

At least that's what I think (:

Thanks to everyone who showed up at Big Apple Con, I'm proud we were the best booth there by far, anyway Tom and everyone on staff was impressed and we're already lookin into hitting up different parts of the country.. maybe Chicago for Midwest folks, Orlando for the south and one in Philly.

fun fun fun. Tom showed me how he bitch slaps April when she gets out of line.

He's an abusive husband!

It would suck to be married to Tom. April would wake up and be like "hey honey" and Tom would be like "lawl cock joke"

More of the same

You know, reading reviews and comments about finished games or games being tested, there is always someone suggesting what should be in it. If it's any kind of platformer, people always say "Needs some power-ups and more/different enemies" or something of the like. Last year the game I released was pretty much somewhat of a defense game, and a lot of reviews said "Maybe add some power-ups or some upgrades like turrets".

I then realize that there are a hundred other defense games out there with upgradeable turrets. Maybe it's just hitting me now, but it's no wonder games get sponsored so easily. People want to play the same shit with a different paint job. People do make different or unique games, but I can see why most people would say "Fuck it" and go with someone that people want to play just so they can get some money.

Do people want more of the same, or is the whole reviewing public just uncreative?

Hey Luis, on that video on your userpage, whose profile is Tom posting on? I watched the video but I couldn't understand what they were saying

Anyway, I wish I coulda been there

I saw it. He was posting on Eggfordtheegg's news post, the ashkintscript 3 wat now guy.

Ahh thanks man

I wish I was here when that happened, cuz now whenever someone mentions I don't know what happened. I know it has something to do with GG and I know something about eggfordtheegg...

And somethin about a flash off

Aside from that, Eggford's also known for:
-being the victim in Canas' "The Chronicles: A Newb's Tale"
-being pranked by someone into believing he was a chatroom moderator

For further Eggford enjoyment, watch the hypothetical Comic-Con situations in the movie I made about eons ago.

Oh yeah, stuff about Ashkinscrip wasn't the reason I wanted to post, though it IS something equally stupid.

Flash Reg Appreciation Songs

This is one really dumb idea I had just now, but I might as well share it for the lulz.

It's where you take a karaoke version of a song and change the lyrics to fit the endearing qualities and famous works of a Flash reg. Then you sing it, and animate the final song. Then we either pick a day to submit these more crappy, Flash-forum-infused classic hits, or take the choruses of all of them and string them together as a collab.

. . .

I swear, my more-frequent visits to the General forum are making my noggin softer over time. :(

I was kinda thinking the same thing, except instead of karoake people made their own little dumb songs for appreciation for the flash reg lounge! Then like if people didn't have a mic or somethin they could send it to someone else for them to sing it

Or we could have a badass rap describing the lounge...haha that'd be amazing but stupid at the same time

Yo, I love the lounge
and the people who post here too
like Duder, Presidente, and our fav. mod Lu?

Haha

Haha nice, thanks man

Luis, you really gotta brighten up. Every picture I see you in depicts you as disapproving of everything aroud you.

I got really pissed off with this video.

MEH, all he did was point out a few obvious things in a whiney vulgar manner... it's nothing to get "really pissed off" about. Some of his 'points' are true, and have been around as long as newgrounds.

I don't have any tips for you, but I do know that Castle Crashers is made entirely in Flash before it is placed on the console version. I don't know how they do it, or what they use, but that it starts out completely with Flash is impressive enough as it is...

I saw your pictures on FB, looks like fun. I'll see you all there next time hopefully!

It would be cool if Pico was a console game.

Fluids are fun

Adapted that thing i showcased a few pages back in flash with the thousands of particles with springs thingy to C++, then added gravity, and now i've added isosurface rendering, which means rather than just rendering particles, i generate a solid, non-overlapping shape that defines the general border of the particle set, here made to try and look like water.

:) To keep it stable with large spring forces to keep particles seperated enough under the pressure of particles above, i'm using 5 iterations on the physics pass per frame, and it still runs at around 40fps on my shitty little computer even with this realtime isosurface rendering which isn't exactly very fast.

I have no clue what all of that means :S You totally fried my brain..

I like the picture though :)

oo fun, i've managed to get it to act like a thick sticky sludge now instead of water ;P much more fun! (And quite fittingly, it is now lime green coloured)

Summer Fun

Now that I'm slowly getting back to my normal life, i had this idea when i was at the ng office.. remember how there were some days where we did the whole i-sketch thing? well i was thinking that at some point it would be cool to get a game of gta 4 going or something. We were thinking about it in the office on sunday when we got back but everyone was just so tired. It would be like spontaneous like hey anyone who wants to play lets do it. I dunno, maybe that idea sucks but whateverrrr.. i just want to lose my xbox live virginity to you allll

Ill play with you luis :D Im always up for a game of anything :)

Gamertag: II AdMan II (those are capital i's btw)

Summer Fun

That would be fun if GTA 4 online wasn't the big laggy shitty mess it is now, and if I had a 360 instead of a PS3.

That guy honestly pissed me off watching it as well. He points out the obvious at some points, but he's just ranting out a lost cause. The way he's talking with the slurs don't appeal to me, but the way he insults Tom Fulp by calling him the "douche" that runs Newgrounds -- wasn't quite appropriate. At times it seems like the guy doesn't know jack-shit about Newgrounds.

The Mature Section is for the wide spread audience in which consists of Newgrounds. Whether it's the horny 12 year old kids, or the weird perverted pedophiles -- It still consists. It's what makes Newgrounds, well -- Newgrounds. There are tons of various content in different categories.

On the lines of the whole "voting system", I agree to a certain extent. But it's all for kicks. To be perfectly honest, he claims that good flashes get blammed? Uh, I NEVER ever witnessed a decent flash get blammed. Ever. I always saw the good ones pass as the bad ones perished in turmoil.

He's just a critic who doesn't seem to get the whole system nor way Newgrounds works. And about Newgrounds being slow and lagging? I never ever witnessed Newgrounds slow at all. It just must be his shitty computer.

When he always discussed the parts saying:

"FU#9
Spam advertisements on flash films. Why do people put these stupid advertisements on flash videos. Nobody is gonna click it and nobody gives a rats ass about it, all people want to see is some entertainment, some your fucking ad placement."

He obviously doesn't know that works with the AD-system to make money off of your work by the number of hits, it gets. That's just quite fucking stupid the way he mocks that. He obviously has no fucking idea on how that system works -- Eh. Fucking YouTube. I can't stand it.
