dELtaluca beat you too it :D.
Sorry :( Although you could do more on it, it'd be intresting to find out more.

Cheers Claxor, i'll try that and get back to you :).

accidentaly missed the if(!_root.... bit and flash crashed :(. Lol, infinite loop me thinks :O.

lol, which method of squaring did you use? The Math function or the faster method of just having x * x <> y * y

Delta started a thread for stuff like that. I'll bump it in a sec when I've got something useful to add to it.

I used:

xd = _root["shell" + i]._x - _root["enemy" + i]._x;
yd = _root["shell" + i]._y - _root["enemy" + i]._y;
if(_root["shell" + i]._x * _root["shell" + i]._x + _root["shell" + i]._y * _root["shell" + i]._y < 90){
// Nothing
}

Hey Clax. I played that game for like an hour and a half, and I never play flash games. I agree with GG's comments. I would also add that you could use moving parts like in a mouse avoider game so that you have to time it or so it enters a wheel and bounces around before falling out on the other side. Maybe you could have certain points which made it bounce really high like a cannon or something.

Also i think i reached a level which is impossible. I forgot the name unfortunately but it had such a low bottom and was so far left it was impossible to make a gap for it to get through. There may have been a way but i couldnt find it.

Great stuff

Fair enough. What's root 90?

Dammit you people sound like robots.

Anyone have halloween plans? Dressing up? Party? Staying home and eating all the candy you're supposed to be giving away?

Thanks!
I've been thinking about moving stuff too.. Although I'm having a hard time figuring how it would work. Great idea though :D

No level is impossible, hard, but not impossible :D (I've beat them all :) )

Great stuff

If I show up at your guys' houses will you give me candy?

Yes to all 4 questions actually. Except the last one, I guess. I haven't decided what I'm doing to dress as, but considering I haven't prepared at all, I'm sure it'll be something shitty and unimpressive :)

Halloween's a stupid market ploy. It's ok in america, bu i hate the way England tries to copy it. Why can't we make up our own stupid market ploys?

Meh, halloween just isn't a big deal over here. I'd be supprised if we got more than 1 trick-or-treater at our door.

Im not sure this really belongs here but I just finished it and I'm pretty pleased. What do you all think of my wierd guy I made in MAYA?

Awsome, post it in the art thread :). Out of intrest, how much did maya cost you? I don't want to spend hundreds, but i don't want to download illegally.

Is there a trial?

Err.. dunno it was a present. I need it for my uni course

Check orb's post history. He posted details about that sort of thing not long ago. He knows a lot more about it than me

The best think about Halloween here (UK) is that we dress as scary shit most of the time. In america you seem to think halloween is just a fancy dress party; it's not. It's a time to dress as evil ghouls and creepy things. Shit like that.

i am so hellbent on showing up to work tmrw in a gorilla mask and business suit. Imagine just walking into a corporate enviroment as a corporate monkey, its fucking genius. I have a meeting in the afternoon too im just gonna walk in sit down and jot things down on my paperwork and totally ignore all reactions.

-L

Show us a picture of your mask.
Would be funny if you walked in and everyone else was doing the same thing. Hmm, sounds like a movie idea in the making.

Haha you should do that, but proper beef your upper body up so you full on look like a gorilla. Just do the whole thing to plug Murray :)

And have a gay little tail, which reminds me..

We were making this film a few weeks ago in college and I was drest as a scream thing running around harrasing people, and one part I had toilet roll hanging from the back of my trousers when I came out the cubicle to make it look like it was trapped. Then we finished filming, but I completely forgot about the tissue paper. About an hour later my friend told me i'd been wondering around with it (not in character--no costume) with tissue hanging out my trousers :/

Not just a little bit, a long string of it too.

In fact, get everyone to wear those. See how much work you actually get done that day :).

every year around halloween we have an optional band event called the rag shag parade where we dress up and march.

This year (last friday) I was the fonz cause i found a leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses and didn't feel like wearing a mask or anything.

Next year I am so tempted to go as a blind person and I might just do that. Either that, or a giant leech.

Fun times, fun times

I'm going to sit in a pumpkin patch all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin to rise out of the pumpkin patch with his big bag of toys to give to all the children.

Gonna be a busy night...

I had a couple of friends to stay last halloween and this year invited them again, however my brother decided to come as well and another couple friends so there's gonna be loads of us. Unfortunately, I'm in a much smaller room this year so JPI said people can sleep at his. We're gonna all go in black with glowsticks as documented earlier in this thread.
My loose plan is to. 1. Get drunk. 2. errr....

Yeah, so that's the plan.

If it wasnt for newgrounds i wouldnt even realise it is halloween. But for the occasion, im gonna watch a scary movie ^___^

any suggestions?
