But Tom, don't you want all your lines to have an extra set of semicolons and to have random lines deleted when autoformatted?!

What's autoformat?

It's a feature Macromedia invented which messes up your code so you have to check it vigorously, I think the idea was to make sure coders are checking their code for errors - quite a good idea amIright?

Toying around with actionscript to make a platformer...

So I've been messing around a bit, looking at a few platformer game tutorials, and such... I whipped up a basic platformer test in a half hour or so, and I'm wondering what you guys think. It needs a lot of work (obviously), but I'm getting there. This is honestly my real first go at action script. I have no other choice though because it seems as if no one wants to help me with coding a game I really want to create.

PLAY HERE.

It's still in the beta stages, and no that ugly enemy won't be there in the actual game. This is beta, I repeat BETA.

There are a few things I'm wondering about. One of them is why does he seem to walk below the top of actual lining of the ground, but when you jump it gets him back into the right place? And also, I have to figure out how to make him pop up in his original spot if he falls off or whatever. I also have to create barriers so he can't run to infinity on the left side of the screen either. >_<

Well, this is about a few minutes worth of work. Cheers. I'm off for the night.

tbh, this is probably my favorite cloud sig to date. Looks like he's trying to get somewhere very fast and it's very dire that he gets there... and he just busted through the wall of a jmtb game or something.

Just realised an advantage of the appalling financial situation of my country...

The biggest game sponsor sites are all american and obvious pay in dollars. With the exchange rate rate from dollar to sterling being so good, us brits should get a better deal for our games :)

I think?

£1 is only $1.40 now. It wasn't too long ago that is was $2 to the £1.

I've noticed this effect for a while, not even half a year ago $1 gave me about 6 SEK, now it's almost 8.50 :)

Although, in order to earn on this I suppose that I would need to finish something first x)

Not really.. the rate atm is roughly 1.4 usd to every gbp, whereas a year ago it reached a high of over 2.0 to ever gbp - THAT was when it was best to trade with America ;)

OR they pay you in your countries money and end up paying less than they need to.

Ya, it's healing though

Anyone ever see The Little Engine That Could?

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

I feel like that train. I've been haulin' ass workin' on flash all day today. I woke up and ate cereal then started work on flash and haven't stop - don't plan to till dinner time.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

OMFG CUNFUZED!!!

I know I've been gone awhile and just now resurfacing on a semi-regular basis, but um.. I feel kind of lost. I see many people with 3k+ post counts, but with names I don't recognize! Who changed their names? I don't recognize you people!!!

There are the Luis, Denvish, Liam, Kirk, Glaiel ect.. ect.. that have stayed the same. Who the hell are the rest of you?

Does this lag for you?

I doubt I was around when you were. I used to be NG-Unit, I have been a flash reg for about a year (half year? I dunno).

Not especially, but it does sometimes when walking around.

Eh, sorry to say this but I'M NOT PLEASED. The guy is like 10x bigger than the houses, how is he going to get in those tiny little people doors? bahaha.

Sorry I didn't please you, but my question was of the opposite nature.... One of the guys in my group said it lagged on his comp. on mine it doesn't at all. But saying you're not pleased because we haven't scaled anything is a real help in terms of what we need to know.

Turning 20 really makes a guy feel old. Just thought i'd throw that out there. : P
