What he meant is first definning a variable as false, then looping through all your objects and verifying hittest, while only defining your variable as true if a hittest returns true, without defining as false when hittest is false. Then, at the end of the loop, the value of your variable doesn't change if there are no hittests, and changes if there is 1 or more hittests. Seriously you could've done that on your own, it's not very complicated :p

Alchohol dos funny things to the brain, 11 1/2 stellaas would have the same effect on most people. DAnke though, i'll do that now, i've actually done this a million times, htae it when i cant think properly.

Have a boolean flag..

if(!hitting){
trace("You ain't hitting nothing, bro");
}

So what he really REALLY meant was...

var hit:Boolean =false; for(var i = 0; i <arr.length; i++){ if(obj.hitTest(arr[i])){ hit=true; break; } } if(!hit){ // none of them are touching. }

What does the break do? I never really figured that out.

It stops the current for loop. It's more efficient than running through the rest of the loop if you already had the info you needed :P

on the same note, continue is useful too. It skips over the rest of the loop body, but then goes back to the conditional portion.

while(a++ > b){
if(b == 0) continue;

//lots of code
}

is similar to

while(a++ > b){
if(b != 0){
//lots of code
}
}

Hey, I made a wireworld simulation :D use the dropdown box thing to choose the type of cell you want, and draw on the left to do stuff. the rest is obvious :) I also made a rule 30 and rule 110 sim (which can be easily switched into any other basic 1D rules) but they aren't as impressive. try making AND / OR / XOR gates with it :)

Heres's the source if anyone wants it.

14 fucking hours?! I beat it 7 WITH Tsuchinoko and at least Bear ranking.

Probably because I only own a PS2 as my gaming console so it's the only game I play.

Try completing the game in less than 5 hours, no kills, no alerts, no continues, no health items used, on the highest difficulty... And no kills as you probably know includes no killing bosses as well. I think that was the Fox rank.

A guy once did all that without any camouflage at all....That's some crazy stuff there. Let me see if i can find him.

You know what's a game that takes really long to play through? Front Mission 3. Fifty hours, with emulator quicksaves (so not counting the time you waste losing levels etc); it's a single CD.

Speaking of alcohol, I never understood why people drink. It's damaging for the brain, it makes you stupid for a few hours and screws around with your memory. So why drink? does it taste good, feel good to be drunk? I drank beer on several occasions and it always tastes really bad. Now I know that's just personal opinion, but still. I might be wrong but I think that many people only drink because everyone does it. I hope I never start liking alcohol because I already do bad enough things to my brain as it is.

Long-term alcohol abuse will damage your brain tissue. Think Korsakov syndrome.

There are different types of alcohol.. lager is the most common, which is not to my tastes.. there's bitter, cider, and a huge array of different spirits (vodka, whiskey, etc). Some of them taste nice to different people, of course.. I drink cider, the apple-y one (not that it tastes apple-y). As to why they drink it, I don't know anyone that drinks alcohol that doesn't like the taste, and getting drunk makes you more talkative and makes you have more fun.

People that take drugs insist taking drugs is just like being drunk but safer, but all I see is them getting high and then being all paranoid about why night clubs are dark.


Sup, bitches :)

Hey guys, we like Megaman Legends Fanart preview picture EXTRRRRRAVEGANZAAA. . . right?

Hows mah shading so far? as you can tell, headless megaman is shooting his non-buster cannon at something... I'm making it a wallpaper so this is of course only 1/8th or so of the whole picture, but the rest is just lil placement doodles.

Yay for art portal! :D

Unless your an alcoholic it won't damage your brain permanently, the only reason it distorts vision is because it has a higher density than blood, meaning it tends to go to the lower parts of the brain like the optical lobe and hippocampal regions (which controls local movement, hence stumbling like an idiot). It's not chemically addictive like smoking and i only ever get pissed on special occasions, so no damage is done. The livers pretty tough, unless your on a metaphorical IV drip of ethanol, it'll be fine too.

Technical post to prove i'm not that stupid all the time :P.
