Come up with a name for my game
I made this really, really simple game this week where you play as Santa and you have to drop presents on houses. Problem is I'm having trouble coming up with a good name (I really suck at that), any ideas?

I assume that's a question.. He's using Steam to download it. Buy online, directly downloads to your computer.

If you're getting it on PC you can download it from Steam if you don't mind not having the physical copy of it. As much as I like Steam I don't really like having those "digital copies", cause it's cool to have the dvd, and then it means if my brother gets a pc and starts playing games i won't be able to play at the same time as him (when i started playing valve games he already had a shitload of games on steam, so i just used his account)
anyway ywa you can download it if you have a fast connection. 5 hours at 200kb/s.
my steam is decadestudios if anyone wants to play left 4 dead, just message me
Oh wow i haven't checked back here for a week, I'M SORRY! :( but i've been working super hard on Exile: Chapter 3... still... :P Probably sending it in to Tom next week sometime...

Anyone know what the deal is with cashing in cheques in a foreign currency? (Because I assume they'll write it out in $$$?)
One day we shall all go to this site and build a small game around the title it gives you. Just imagine what you could do with 'African Burger Smash '.

Best way to receive money internationally is PayPal, if you have a personal or lower level account that won't hit you with fees yet.
If you can't do PayPal, next good step is a wire payment.
If you really need a check, I would recommend an international money order. It works just like a check but it works in most neighboring US countries and Europe without worrying about whether the check will cash.
Otherwise, I would ask your bank.

Oh right, will newgrounds send it to paypal then? I didn't think they did for some reason.

I would pm Tom to arrange for that. Its not like an automatic thing, if you dont speak up youll just get a check.
Also my steam name is luisNG ... original i know....

A cheque is fine really, it'd work out around the same either way really by the looks of things. Thanks :)

'Educational Nudist on the Oregon Trail '?
Remember talks about the tron AI challenge that never came to fruition?
I've decided that it is a great idea, and I setting up an engine for it today.
It is going to be in AS3 however, cause a flash-off just isn't a flash of in measly ashton scrip 2 point oh.
Expect to see a thread about it tomorrow maybe.
Also, thoughts? 1 v 1 or a 4 person free for all battle?

well the actual engine is in AS3, but the way I'm setting it up, everyone is going to make a .as file with their bot's AI in it. As long as you use good coding habits, then the actual language shouldn't matter, so if someone feels like porting my engine to AS2 once it's out there, feel free, but the final battles will be in AS3.
Anyway, there's going to be functions you can call to get properties, but no direct accessing of variables. The as file you submit will be something like:
var x = getMyX();
var y = getMyY();
if(getWallStatus(x, y+1)){
return 1;
}
if you notice, that code is both AS2 and AS3 compatible (so just make sure you declare your variables correctly and everything is good to go.)
Again though someone will have to port it down. I suck with AS2 now that I know AS3.

How exactly is this going to work, gameplay-wise? I've seen a few AS battles before but I seem to have missed the discussion for this one. If it's manageable for people who aren't extremely proficient in AS(3), like me, you can count me in.

It will be manageable for everyone.
Basically, in this game, you just write a .as file that returns either UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT. You have 4 functions you can reference. getMyX(), getMyY(), and getWallStatus(x, y), and randomNumber(), which will return a psuedo-random number for you. (psuedo random as in it will be the same pattern every time the program runs, for maximum fairness).
you can make your own variables as needed (in the template .as file I will ass a spot for them), but not your own functions (you shouldn't really need your own functions).
If you don't return anything, by default the game will push you in a predetermined direction, which is bad.
Again, I need someone fluent in both AS2 and AS3 to port this down for me.
The engine uses bitmaps though, so flash 8 is the lowest it can go.
