Your blood painting program is difficult to use, but thanks for the cameo.

Raph Koster (designer of Ultima Online, currently developing soon-to-be contagious flash game virus Metaplace) did some comments over at the BBC praising the rise of Flash.

I don't think it'd necessarily be Flash. There are experimental JS interpreters aiming to become faster than AS3 (including Tamarin, the AVM2 engine, which will probably be used in Firefox 4, while ..SquirrelFish seems to be even faster lately).
In addition, the Flash renderer could use improvement, since lines can be drawn faster with AS.

So in the end I guess it comes down to the IDE being popular? Damn you people. It's horrible.

Image uploading has been removed from spamtheweb as i was emailed from someone from ireland about there being an inappropriate image been uploaded.
It really makes me sad that someone would abuse the system. I don't know if my host has found out about it, but i'm sure i would be taken down if they do.
It's just going to accept fla, mp3 and swf from now on.

I'm sad now :(.
This also means i may have to start logging peoples ip's which i really didnt want to have to do.

How inappropriate was the image? Like, on a scale of 1 to child pornography.

Well this picture NEEDS to be seen, use another uploading service :O.

Is it just me or is the new game achievement system a copy of kongregate's.

I like it more, seems more streamlined somehow. Great game, as sad as it may be, the achievements do add to it, a lot :). Great ai/bosses etc though, deserved the 1st place it got.

It's just you. Kongregate wasn't the first to think of an achievement system, there are similar systems on Xbox Live and PSN. Actually, Tom mentioned that NG had an achievement system years ago when the portal was still really small but it wasn't really worth developing at the time =]

Yes i am. I'm even more pissed that i can't let people upload images. People can't be trusted. Anyway there are tonnes of uploaders for images out there.

Damn :( I've been using your uploader a lot recently.

ICT in school

My teacher wanted me to do iPro, a Visual Basic coding course worth however many GCSEs, I declined in favour of taking History to fill that space and having a small ECDL ICT course on the side.

Then after a month he said it was too easy, with that being why I chose to do it, in order to have a break from my other subjects. I was made to do an extra Microsoft course on top, but I can cope.

Now he's making me do the IGCSE, so my relaxed lesson now consists of gaining three qualifications, with the IGCSE seeming like the only challenging one. Gone are the days of playing curveball instead of working :/

Anyone done the IGCSE? How much harder is it than the normal GCSE?

It shouldn't make a difference if your using it correctly and only uploading swf/fla/mp3. Just dont want anything that can get me sued / legal action. I'm poor enough as it is.

You should have used the new Save/Load feature so you could save the image straight from the flash, hhhh =D

I wish I knew how to do that. Is it only available with as3?

Yeah, I don't think they're bothering to update the v2 API now. The method is FileReference#save.

You can't get sued because people misuse your uploader can you? Just stick a disclaimer on there that says you're not allowed to upload any malicious or offensive content (e.g., porn) and you should be fine :P

You shouldn't be poor either, SpamTheWeb is one of the best URLs in existence and with a bit of work you could make shit cash..

Not literally, HAHA. I meant to put "you could make it shit cash".. not that you could transform faeces into a form of currency :O

I don't really know. I think i may have to stick a disclaimer on there actually... I am actually in a deal with another site which seems promising to push the site forward.

I put the image uploader back up as i contacted the person who uploaded the images, turns out she is a child model, although it is quite.... weird. I also received a few fan mails about how they love using it, so i decided to put it back up.

Reg lounge on the 3rd page? Never!

Ive finally (very nearly) finished Penguinz!
check it out!

All that needs to be done now is finding some decent music for the game and finding a way of getting the intro in there (vcam issues...)

Anyway, what do you guys think? Its taken way too damn long and way too many coders, but im really happy with the end result. LongAnimals is an amazing coder, cant wait to work on our next project its going to be massive :)
