Thats part of the appeal of thoe older consoles tho!

I had a whole ritual to playing a game on my nintendo.
1) blow into the nes
2) blow into the game cartridge
3) slap the cartridge on my leg 3 times
4) insert the game cartridge and as you push down wiggle side to side.
5) one more blow with the game loaded
6) close lid, turn on and hope.

Get one, and then get Earthbound if you're in to RPG's. Best RPG I've ever played. Then there's also stuff like the Megaman games as well.

I have a SNES, I love it...

Exactly this.

+ Anyone know of a Dig Dug flash clone? I love that game =[

can i get someone to help me with some action scripting problems?

Have you tried witing the object to a byte array, then reading it back out? If you want to maintain the class type, you'll need to serialize it first. It should create a copy with all the same properties

That's an interesting idea.

Just makes me wish flash would let you specify "function a(reference b:Number) or function b(copy b:Object)" while keeping it defaulting to what it is now

I'm pretty sure everyone had a ritual like yours XD

I never had a SNES, my first system was sega Genesis, and from there it went to PS, ps2, wii, ps3
(not including handhelds)

yaaay!

My first system was a SNES, then a ps1, and then a ps2.

I feel deprived.

Luis on American Idol

Creepy.

The Lost and Damned

Anyone else try it out yet? If you at all liked GTA IV, it's definitely worth it. Same great story-telling and acting, and I've only tried a few MP modes so far, but they're super fun. Can't go wrong with all of that content for $20.

im bored. someone speak to me through my msn plugin thingy on my website! see if it actually works :P

i was in an american idol audition. or rather. my cousin and sister subjected me to wait in line while they got tickets to audition. one had been in kareoke bars her whole adult life, the other was a voice major who sang abroad (and now carols on the side professionally during christmas). neither got past the initial round. just the fat gospel choir and tiny red-headed girls with -a cup bikinis, thinking that they could kick everyone's ass. musically and physically. neither were true.

Pacman Dossier
This article is an incredible read on the game Pacman. It's incredibly detailed and even goes into collision detection, level design, and kill screens.

Yeah, it's kinda sad that you can't. At the base level though, the bytecode must be able to make that distinction, since it makes copies of primaitve types but references to higher level objects.

The bytearray method is great though, I have a static object cloning function in my utils class that I use quite a bit

hey guys im typing this message from the Apple store in PA. WOO

Nah, bytecode doesn't deal with objects. References are pretty much primitive values. You push a reference and call an opcode to do something with it.

I need to look into flash at the base level more some time. So primitives are all that the bytecode handles?

I <3 Little Big Planet and Resistance 2

killzone 2, and sadly motorstorm 2

Add me up! My PSN Name is Duchednier
Also i'm going to add you mr funkycaveman! But i think i might already have you on there... maybe... not sure O.o

klkl, i will look forward to playing with you are beating your ass :)

ANYBODY WHO PLAYS RESISTANCE 2 ONLINE TELL ME AND I WILL INVITE YOU TO MY SUPER SEXY CLAN

ESSENCE OF DIVINITY LEVEL UPDATE

The level has undergone some sex and now its better looking than ever.
(i'm leaving for work right now so i couldn't finish the shadows on the house and i have alot to change, but its very VERY nice)

Also, thanks to flash's bitmap cache i have cleared the level from lag.
*happy*

Sort of... the AVM2 bytecode can be pretty abstract when compared with typical "assembly-like languages". The bytecode standard (or whatever this document on AVM2 opcodes is) explains what values certain opcodes expect--generally a primitive or an index into one of several tables (which in turn could contain references). That may not be relevant, though.

I've always thought that the phrase "pass by reference" was a big misnomer when used alongside "pass by value". Nothing is ever passed by reference. You can pass *a* reference, but the reference itself will be passed by value (copied). The canonical example is a swap method of the form swap(a:type, b:type):void, where the values are swapped in a side-effecting manner.

In C#, you can pass a reference to a reference by using the "ref" keyword before your parameters. In C/C++, you can pass pointers to pointers and other things like that. AS3, in standard fashion, has no explicitly defined mechanism for doing this sort of thing.

I always find stuff like that fascinating. I read an article like that on the original metroid once, much much more complicated game, but it did explain exactly what caused the glitches and what their result is too.

Read something on the original pokemon game too, with the missingno glitch and its cause. Its interesting stuff
