I used to think that you couldn't right click on a Mac, but you can. I've just got a normal (i.e. non-mac) mouse plugged into my Mac at work and I can right click fine =) Also as said Glaiel said, Expose is absolutely great, especially when you've got a lot going on. The Dashboard is pretty cool too.

I'd suggest you should get a Mac with boot camp. That's what I'm probably gonna do next time I get a new computer.

Funny thing about that, the new mac mice look like they only have 1 button, but it's pressure sensitive or something so it knows what side you're clicking on and you can right click. Course, the major flaw is that it can't detect if you're clicking both at the same time, but that's what 3rd party mice are for. Also the trackpad on the macbook pros know right click if you put 2 fingers on the trackpad and click. It's actually very nice once you get used to it, all the track pad gestures rock. If I hole option and scroll with 2 fingers the screen zooms in and out, which is very useful for videos that don't let you resize it or go fullscreen.

I'd suggest you should get a Mac with boot camp. That's what I'm probably gonna do next time I get a new computer.

Boot camp comes default with all macs, but you can find a bundle of windows XP and Parallels for about $4 more than XP by itself so you can run windows in a window and drag files between them. It's not good for power stuff, but it's good for basic functionality.

I rarely remember my dreams but my most memorable one was when i was friends with a guy made of bricks.. and he couldnt fit through the doorway of his room so he was trapped there.. i fucked his girlfriend and he got so pissed and knocked my teeth out. then i woke up.

The only dream that i remember is being chased through a cave by Chucky and Ms. Frizzle. They wanted to kill me.

Well, put em together, I mean, if you do know how to effectively use a 'for' statement that is.

New puzzle game engine

I'm really enjoying making these simple puzzles. Here's something I did that sparked my curiosity. I was trying to calculate the probabilities for each best move you could make in Mastermind game and I ended up coding the engine of the game for fun. So far it's fully functional (although it needs to be poished if I want to submit it to NG) and it only contains 15 lines of actionscript. that's right, 15 lines!

Here's a link

read these instructions first: the grey fields represent the text fields in which you type the code. The code is a number of 4 digits, each digit can be a number from 1-6 and no digits are repeated in the same code. So the code would be something like 4125 for example, or 6532. Type a 4 digit number in the text field and press the white button to check which digits are in the right position, or just present somewhere in the code but not in the right position. the log will keep track of your digit entries.

I'm having a great time making those puzzles. If anyone has ideas for more challenging, complicated, and interesting puzzles please let me know! they are very quick and fun to make.

note: on average I manage to crack the code in around 4-5 times, try to see how many tries it takes for you. fun thing i will try to code now is a bot that tries to guess the code in the least possible amount of times, run it 1000 times, and see the maximum number of tries that a game with any starting guess can take .

Knuth's Mastermind Algorithm will beat this kind of game in four to five attempts. However, by having, effectively, four extra colours than normal Mastermind, this may make things more complicated for it.

Is it possible to have two or more of the same color / number in the same code? like red blue red yellow or abac? If yes I'll have to rethink the whole thing. I don't wanna read the formula on wikipedia cause i wanna figure it out for myself lol

Eddie Izzard - Bill Bailey

I have no idea who Eddie Izzard is, so I prefer Bill Bailey.

how come this thing is in the flash forum when it has nothing to do with flash?

Also Castle crashers is the best :D

It has everything to do with Flash. It's a general chat thread for the Flash regs to hang out in, because they're all too afraid of General.

Comedians

Both Eddie Izzard and Bill Bailey are awesome, i also like Peter Kay, although his recent "Whos got the whatever on ice thing" was shite, he's done some great stand-up shows.

I haven't listened/watch Izzard, Bailey is awesome and so is Dylan Moran. Peter Kay is funny but he recycles his material too much. That recent show of his was good in my opinion, original and funny :P Dave Chapelle is a good stand up comedian, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais.. both also. My favourite is Mitch Hedberg (RIP =[).

Though, technically it was created for discussing generally flash-related topics, which people rarely do.

Baby yeah! Lol flash topics here are usually "see what i made" and thats even a rare thing :P

ok this thread is a bit boring for me (PERASONAL OPINION NOT INVITATION FOR FLAME WAR) so can we talk about the price of cs3 i mean its an old piece of software and it cost $600 thats just sick adobe claims over 95% of web user have it installed i reckon if so many use it why charge so much i reckon most of newgrounds animators and flash users did it the "cheap" way

Comedians

Bill Bailey is my favourite. I saw him live at the M.E.N. last year, doing Tinselworm, fantastically funny. Other comedians do have funny moments, but none have made me laugh that much. Ever.

No, Abode claim that 99% of web users have FLASH PLAYER installed.

Also $600 (or $250 for students) isn't that bad (some software can cost up to $2000). If you know how to use it you'll be able to make that money back fairly easily.
