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.

Quick question, Flash CS4 has the same AS3 version as Flash CS3, right?

yes, I'm not using any of the CS4 specific stuff though.

I will save as a CS3 file

Lame

Also, thoughts? 1 v 1 or a 4 person free for all battle?

I think 1v1 would make sure the best bot wins. If you play that flash tron with 3 other comp players, it's a lot easier than with just 1 other comp player. Plus I think it'd be more interesting with just 2 at a time.

Any one fancy making a game over the next couple of days? Im in desperate need of cash and its been a while since ive released anything... I havent really thought about ideas but perhaps something xmas themed, I dont know. Just something simple and fun that I can make look all pretty :P

I have plenty of examples in my profile, the last couple of submissions are the level Im currently at. Id be looking for a programmer, Ill do all the art.

PM me or something!

This is not cool, I lost all of my Saturday. I went to sleep at like 2am and woke up at 10pm >_> Wtfpie!

flash off thread.

Anyone catch the new IT Crowd? It's pretty funny, definitely worth watching. Wasn't as geeky as some of the other episodes, but was good. I spotted an "ACTUAL SIZE" sticker on one of the laptops near the end, hark xD

I bought Rock Band 2 this friday and went round a mates with 3 others and we rocked out all night :3 then i went home yesterday and fell asleep :D Then I played it again for a while with Kayn :D But he left mid song and made me cry :' (

I fixed my PC, everything works now :) im in love with it, and i wouldn't betray it even if the hottest girl in my class asked me out (note the "if", as this is all hypothetical)

Far cry 2, 1200x1024, ULTRA HIGH settings (highest there is): 50 average fps !!!

The "if" didn't refer to "if there were hot girls in my class", it refered to "if it was even possible a hot girl would ask me out" :P There's actually a lot of hot girls in my school, but none of them are as hot as my graphics card when i play games.

actually my gfx card is oddly not hot at all :0 all the components run very cool even when performing heavy tasks

I'm having a hard time imagining a sex scene between a graphics card and an unknown fury...

is that a good thing?

Meh, I've had the manliest flu you've ever seen for the last week, and one of the symptoms was having no energy at all, so not only have I not been out at all this weekend ( :'( ), last night I went to bed at about nine and didn't get up till half three in the afternoon. And I'm still knackered.

Woo! I managed to get my Internets working in Ubuntu 8.10 :P I updated it while in a lecture and when I couldn't connect to the uni wifi I assumed there was a problem with my wifi.. then I tried connecting wiredly and it still didn't work, apparantly it's a widespread problem with the new network manager. Well, thankfully the Ubuntu forums are rife with smart lil penguins and I managed to get it working very easily, so I'm happy. Now I should sleep.

Today I was looking through the pictures on my computer and I found this one, which I made when I was new to the reg lounge and Luis was my hero.

He was actually saying it about TheCriminalDuder, but I MS Painted it :D.

Yeah were being caught off guard by the sudden awesomeness of the programmers :P
*all of a sudden because of luis's comment the reg lounge is torn into an all out war between the programmers and the animators... hoshiz :O*

Half life for a dollar!
I don't now if you knew as I haven't been on the reg lounge for a while now, but they were selling half-life for a dollar! Tehconcept bought it for me, because I had no moneys, and he's a legend.
Oh, and my Steam name is BlackSmudge.

Christmas Flash
Yeah, it's probably been discussed already, but are any of you guys making a Christmas flash? If so, what's it about?
I'm gonna try and get off my lazy ass, and actually do something this year. I've got a concept and everything: An Animators Carol.
It's gonna be like "A Christmas Carol", except about a n00b flash animator, who doesn't believe in other forms of animation :|
I dunno, might be good if I can be bothered to do it. I thought of it after watching some made for TV movie, "A Christmas Carol", based on the book.

I bought it for my friend because she hadn't played it, and I completed it years ago =D

I installed Flex (+Eclipse) on ubuntu, for the hell of it, yay! Probably won't use it, but I don't even have Flex or CS3/4 on Windows so when I need/want to compile any AS3 I have a way to do so now :X Yay.

Theres always been a friendly rivalry between actionscripters and artists... even outside of the reg lounge. They seem like such different disciplines but yet both are artistic in their own way. I suppose its only natural to find the competitive angle in it. Like trying to prove yourself in front of your peers.

Meh, I was in school not too long ago and I felt like I was going to vomit, because this kid next to me in Environmental Science was just minding his own business but the stench of his breath just radiated out of his mouth. Have anyone ever run into the encounter of someone with such disastrous breath that it may make you want to throw up and die?

Like seriously. His mouth wasn't even open and I could smell Satan's Armpits.

Perfume is more of a problem from me. Some woman wear so much perfume it's overwhelmingly awful, especially when it doesn't smell good.

That and a combination of smelly hair spray make for a terrible cocktail of watery-eyed sensory overload.

Vis a vis, it smells like shit in here.

I've been developing a new style of characters, it consists of big heads and small bodies. Tell me what you think...

I made these for the Pork and Beans Collab.
