Simpsons Shit

I find this picture to be very true to my actual form.

Me, in the simpsons...no way!

Paranoia's story
The story is awesome Paranoia, I'm pretty sure that happened, but, aren't you worried they may try to do something similar to you..i mean, now you know the thruth and told us...

And to all the lazy people, sumarizing the story really takes the charm out of it.

And yeah, Sonx suicided, he was planning to make his 9000 post about becoming a mod and stuff, but the notice that Kraig and Kirk became mods instead of him kinda shocked him, his epic moddish 9000 post plan was ruined. Poor Sonx, maybe Paranoia's story would make him feel better, i suppose his ghost ir reading it right now, or eating a ghostly muffin...

Sonx

I wonder when he's going to post his epic post? Hey, what's the post count limit on Newgrounds? Would it be like 99,999?

Me

That was pretty...cool. If only I could be animated.

I dunno what the limit would be or if there is one. I doubt anyone will get to 100,000 anyway.

You's a beefy, angry dude, don't beat me up.

Post Limit

I suspect that once you reach the post limit it just starts all over.. i was once at the highest experience level from depositing so much and it reseted so now im level 1 again. True story

No not really. I'm a surf life saver, which means I have a good build.

Ahh I see where you're getting at...well I'm like 6 foot something with a good build but there were no character types for that :/

The first thing you thought when you opened Flash

My first thought was: "Wow, it's crowded in here..." with all the panels and what-not. So, what was your first thought when you opened Flash for the first time?

I dont quite remember, but i wasn't pretty sure of I was doing, the evolution from pivot to flash was a bit drastic, i think.

yes, i started animating at pivot, didn't know flash existed, i dont regret it, pivot is awesome >:(

..::The first thing you thought when you opened Flash::..

Can't say I really remember, but my friend was there explaining stuff to me, I think I was a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff to play with. I was like: "how does I make sumfin' move?" and he was like: "lol, n00b." Something like that.

I'm getting that same feeling again when I opened Flash for the first time...but now it's 3DS MAX...I feel scared :(

I made a teapot for you all <3
lol premade templates

Well, depending on the type of the sql field, it'll be different. It's probably an integer so it's pretty much unlimited, seeing as nobody is ever going to get past 50,000 posts.

And what's stopping them?

Seriously, General is flooded with spam posters.

And none of the mods do anything about it.

ZAAL has almost 40,000 posts...

There wouldn't be a limit I'm guessing. The post count would just be a sql search through all the posts and counts up which ones user id is yours.

Nooo, it would be a field in the users table. Counting posts would be unbelievably slow because instead of selecting just a field from the users table, it would have to count actual rows. 30 posts per page, that could be 30 different users. Let's say an average of 300 posts per user, you can be talking MySQL would have to count 9,000 rows just to get the post counts for users on one page of posts. That's why you don't do it like that, rather you just have a field that is updated in each users row when they post. Efficiency.

haha, oh my god, the database would come to a grinding halt if it had to calculate 30 posts counts per page load in that manner ;)

Oh. Hey guys. Flash n' stuff.

lol not even James would be able to find a way to make that one efficient.

go read my story

I dont believe that. Anything above 28,000(ish) is level 30, theres no max.

Max Post Count

I don't think there is one, someone is bound to eventually get 100k posts, so i don't think they'd put on a limit :).

4 pages overnight, this thread moves to fast :P

First flash impressions

I remember opening it when my friend showed me and being completely confused. I spent about 3 hours trying to get the actions panel to open :P.

Flash Crash

Has anyone ever had a game/aniamtion, where flash decides to crash the player when it gets to a point, even though the code is fine :S. I'm having a weird problem with some code atm, where after about 3 uses of the explosion function, it decides that flash player should close :P.

RE: Flash Crash

I've had stuff like that happen, but it was mainly because I thought everything was OK, only to have an infinite loops.

The biggest suspects here are probably for loops, because you don't really expect them to be infinite. I've had crashes a few times where I overlooked for loops, only to realise later that they were along the lines of:

for(i = variable1; i != 0; i --) // That's just an example - I can't remember the exact error

Only to realise much later that variable1 was either less than or equal to 0, or a zero equivalent like NaN or undefined.

Recursive functions could also be a big problem, but for me for loops have been the biggest source of mystery crashes.

With your explosion, my guess would be that you have a variable which increments to keep track of dupes or something, and after three explosions it hits a value which causes an infinite loop somewhere. That would be my guess.

Other weird coding errors

The weirdest thing I had was on that game I did with Hot Fuzz. Everything worked fine untill I lost the .fla and had to decompile to get it (lol), but after that for some reason the BitmapData wouldn't work properly. The weird thing was, after the first time you tries to access the frame with the BitmapData on, it worked perfectly every other time.

In the end the only way I could get it to work was to string a load of nextFrames together for just after the Flash loaded, so that the user wouldn't notice the frame change, then have it snap back to the menu frame and disable the variable that told it to go to the next frame.

RE: Post Count

I really honestly don't think there is one. I think it eventually just adds up all in the end. I'll get 1,000,000 posts sooner or later in this life time or the next. ;)

RE: Flash Crashing?!

I usually hate when the Flash Player crashes, when I'm exporting or previewing a Flash Video. Sometimes it goes, "error, scene 1, layer 5, frame 3 - action script" randomly, when I probably don't even have actionscript on that layer. Oh well. Flash is silly sometimes.

RE: Thoughts on Flash Opening

When I opened Flash, I thought random things. The first thing that came to mind is, "how the hell do I work this thing?" Than after that thought, I tried to test out all the nice little tools that I probably wouldn't use half of. :) It's confusing like the first day or two, than you get ahold of the whole feel of Flash, and how to work it.

Bad Cops?

Eh, I'm not that big with the cops. I've been cursed at, almost arrested, and yelled at continuesly by Cops. I'm not that much on the liking side of the Fuzz. Even though, I like that the help the harmless, but what happens when ..they hurt the defenseless?

Watch Here.

In the video above, a cop randomly chokeholds a 13 year old girl, and arrests several people for riding their skateboards on the sidewalk. He declares they were "breaking the law and what not."

"Those kids were violating a city ordinance and should have been ticketed, NOT arrested and certainly not headlocked and manhandled. Once they ran, they WERE resisting arrest, but that STILL doesn't mean the cop had to headlock little kids, especially that little girl. All he had to do was grab their shirt, they were clearly no threat to anyone. Look up the definition of excessive force if you are still confused."

-Video Response.

I don't quite think some cops are fair at some points. There are people getting harmed everyday, people stealing, and shooting people yet cops like this get the harmless ones that are only skateboarding on "Go Skateboarding Day!" All I have to say is those kids better get a good lawyer. This could be a good case.

Discuss.

Talking of opening flash, I have a confession, I dont know how to use the pen tool.

I mean, what kind of use could you have for a line that comes from both directions then stays there all wierd... wtf!
