Well, there isn't really anything to cater to for procedural. What would you like?
But how can procedural be more flexible than OOP? It's specialized, the opposite.

Looking at your code my thoughts were, you need more MVC.

My color scheme is about the same, with more saturated colors and edgy fonts.

Well not so much animate.

FD Colors

I may have to use a color scheme like that. Looks awesome. The drastically different colors makes it easy to read too. I remember last time looking for how to change the entire background color in FD but couldn't find it. How did you do that?

Depth Swapping
Anyone here really good with different techniques of swapping depths? Just hoping that someone would possibly have the time to do a really quick discussion about what method [I have a few in my head right now] would be the best to use.

Also, I'm going on vacation (tomorrow) !

Whilst we are on the topic:

Game Concept

(it's not really a new concept) I've been working on this the past two days. It's like a 'defend the beach during d-day endurance towerdefense-ish' game. Endurance as in you can't actually win (because I like being historically correct :p) so you just have to last as long as you can. There will be tanks and planes and snipers an maybe dudes with rocket launchers and stuff like that to make it a little more diverse. So yeah, do you think it has potential to be fun?

On a side note: press space to reload. And right now it just spawns 100 enemies (to see if it could handle that). For the actual game it will all be randomly generated )based on how long you've been playing I suppose).

Brilliant, nice art style, but a little shallow. Try adding more enemy types, eg tanks, planes, and make the pillbox upgradeable, not complexly upgradeable, but heavier guns, flamelwerfers etc.

Fallout 3

Good so far, albeit a little slower than i'm used to. The vats feature is nice though.

I like it Xeptic, it's not very satisfying when you kill the little guys though, perhaps make their deaths a little more dramatic/obvious and bloody :D

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm going to add more units and some more animations/moves to the soldiers, the ones I have now are just there to test the engine :)

It is sort of annoying that the dust the shot in the ground makes is as big as the soldiers, so it is hard to know if you've shot an enemy or just missed. Else than that, it's looking great, some things liike the color scheme are eye catchy and I like the ammount of enemies that spawns. Nice work on it so far.

Wait, so his animation is not quiet right? Or am I backwards here?

Quietly decides to do an animation collab about boats while working on an AS3 beat em up engine.

coding and animating? Oh shit...

Stuff this...
Can't see the screen because of the sun.
I'm going back inside.

Not that anyone will reply to this because no one really knows me and if you're not a troll or on the incrowd in the reg lounge you're ignored.

Any money it had Porn in it.

Does anyone watch QI? I find it quite amusing. I love the panel formula and QI is quite an interesting and unique version of it. Stephen Fry is a great guy - intelligent and funny, plus there's very often some very funny comedians on. The newest episode ("Food") has David Mitchell, Jimmy Carr and Rich Hall (and Alan Davies). All brilliantly funny people; though Jimmy Carr doesn't fit in quite as well as the others.. he's more interested in getting cheap laughs than making intelligent jokes.. though he is one of my favourite comedians. David Mitchell is another of my favourite comedians, and he excels in QI because he get's to be smart and funny.. which he is both.

Has anyone seen Lesbian Vampire Killers? I'm expecting it to be terrible but hopefully it'll be funny. It has quite a well done flash site too.. a standard with all movies nowadays I know.

QI is a great show, you pretty much summed up its qualities in your post.

It's among the ranks of University Challenge in terms of the difficulty of questions though, you feel a bit surprised when you get one right.

QI-esque question: What is the formal name for the shape of a Pringle.

Not sure, but perhaps "hyperbolic paraboloid saddle shape"?

Altavista + Wiki = almost a half decent replacement for Google :)

<3 QI.

Anyway, i'd say the above, although a hyperbolic paraboloid is basically a square that has been warped rather than an oval, like a pringle, and a hyperbolic paraboloid can be hundreds of different shapes.

As far as I'm aware it's a hyperbolic paraboloid.

I wasn't expecting debate on the matter :P

Will someone please play this and tell me what they think?

Been working my ass off on this one, gotta be finished by next friday. You cant get past the watermill level!
