Have I missed something?

Since when was a V-Cam generally considered a valid way of managing scrolling in your game?

This is what happens when you let people flood the portal with half-baked coding tutorials they don't understand themselves >.<

I've ranted about the vcam multiple times in the past. It's not even good or anything, and people that don't understand how it works wouldn't be able to add stuff like rotation to it (not that you'd want to expand the vcam for rotation in the first place, it's easier to start from scratch)

how about as a reg loung collab you build us a v-cam !!! yaaaa

You don't have any illusion of depth either, since you can't tell some parts of the screen to move slower or faster than others. Plus having a working UI with it is the most pointless bit of coding imaginable.

The annoying thing is, scrolling is not hard to do. It shouldn't take more than ten minutes to work out and debug the first time you do it and shorter every subsequent time. The majority of my scrolling code is just telling it where to zero in - the actual position adjustments just take two lines of code (plus another two for each background layer or whatever). Using a V-Cam to do that is completely counter productive - you'll spend vastly more time jumping through hoops getting it to work than you will just coding a scroll yourself.

And yet you have things like

this pile of balls

Hooking in who are just trying with all the enthusiastic innocence in the world to learn how to code, and sending them in completely the wrong direction. Those people are going to grow up to tell other people the worst ways to code, and the ignorance is just going to keep spreading, and spreading, and spreading,

and spreading, and spreading...

It's all very sad.

Pubescent means she is going through puberty, therefore they could be of legitimate age.
Isn't that right Luis?

You actually have problems learning Java? For school? Oh fail.

Try getting a hold of El-Presidente. I kind of got him to understand some things about OOP and AS3 so perhaps he can pass it on. Cause, you know, there's less lost in translation between two people on the same end of the IQ bell curve. :D

Note, however the above sounds, that's actually what I think is best for you. :p

Hey, have a picture.

Been working on a new little game with longanimals, should be really fun :) Its totally different to killing things... pretty refreshing :)

But yeah ragdoll and building things! Well happy with how the styles coming out, looks a lot nice full res.

Wow, i'm suprised you can see me from way up there :p
Yeah, i might try that. I understand what you mean. However, i'm too lazy to PM him and stuff, so i might just wait to see if he or anyone else (with the required IQ) who has an understanding of java replies here.

I think you didn't get the IQ thing. But if you don't mind me I can help you too. My AIM is the same (for some reason) though an email conversation would be better, gust.tgm at like gmail.

Looking good man, you must be pretty happy with all the recent success :) How many views is penguinz on right now? I literally see it on every entertainment website I go to.

To me coding is like...
solving a good riddle.
You hear a good riddle, a really difficult one.
You could spend weeks trying to nail it down.
And those weeks are pure torture, whenever
you think about it, you just spend time working on it
making it at least 5 times more difficult than it really is.
You hate yourself for not understanding,
until you finally figure it out.
After that you're briefly satisfied, then forget about it in a day or so.
A bit later you end up wishing you had another problem to figure out...

The process then loops from here.

That's how it is for me, at least. Not as dramatic, though.

Ya if you want nonuniform scaling and rotating it'll take a little longer... not that the vcam supports rotation or anything and not that anyone who uses it actually uses scaling or anything but still.

Yeah man its pretty awesome, im excited for the future :)

I think its had about 1.8 million views so far. Definately the best ive done with a game! It needs to spread on more websites or be featured by some bigger sites to get a serious viewcount though.

Cant wait to see howthe sequel will do :P

Lol I can't believe I still have that scoreboard up on my site. Scores are stupid and hard to maintain so a new one would have to be free for all instead of 1-on-1.

This thing half revives itself every other year anyway.
