Animating VS AS

I honestly think animating is more of a rewarding job, but without AS animating would be absolutely nothing. Then again, the people who don't make flash haven't really heard of AS and think its all animation. Which just sucks and they aren't always getting the full credit they deserve. AS is like someone who does backgrounds or costume design at a play, they aren't always noticed, but make the show amazingly better.

took me a while to think up the last sentence...

Animating VS Coding

I prefer animating more, but at times coding can be fun (when its working lol). I like both technical aspects but find animating to be easier for me; however both are equally rewarding, especially when I make a game where I've coded and animated which is most rewarding.

Animating Vs. Coding

Depends on what mood I am in, generally animating is more of what I want to do. But sometimes I'll open up a game I've already done the art for bust out a new feature and go back to animating something different.

I hate level design though, probably my most hated part of making a game, it's so boring and frustrating, I also hate having to work around my limits in coding, I might want to add something but realize that it's just to above me at the moment and have to leave it out.

Of course that happens during the planning process and it makes me lose motivation even before I've opened flash.

I completely agree with this, same as with Criminal Duder. I like both but i prefer animating.
I only came up with the subject for a new topic :P

RE: Strict Parents

My parents are pretty cool to be honest.

They never really cared about me drinking or going out or anything, as long as I let them know that I was ok. They dont mind me smoking weed either as long as its not at the house.

Now im 18 they let me do pretty much whatever I want.

Well, your nearly an adult, they

should let you...

I work for a small company that makes electrical devices/parts for... well, all kinds of things really, however, most of the time it is for government projects. It's quite fun, and I work with a lot of friendly people. Best thing is that I can show up whenever I want to.

Jobs

I don't have a job. I'm a lazy bum. The only job I've ever really had was a paper delivery boy. That ended like 5 years ago. I've applied at different tech related places, but no luck.

My point being I have 5k posts and no flash in the portal... that argument is silly.

Oh, I was more focused on the fact that he has 80 posts, and you're actually a contributing member of the flash community, so you don't need portal work, because your cool. He is not.

Parents
Not that bad, only strict on really stupid things and easy on other stuff. Like I'm not allowed a laser pen but I am allowed to be on the PC for ages.

School's annoying, it's limiting my unsocial internet life :(
I'm either doing homework or doing artwork for a game I'm making for this guy, leaving next to no time to be on the forums.

Umm.. this things are called scrollers right? Is there a way o make one for a flash.?

Yeah, you can code them yourself in a movieclip (making your own buttons to scroll, having a scroll limit etc) or you can use some of the pre set ones in the components bar (that's in the righthand panel, if it's not open already use the window toolbar and open it). If I recall, they look a little Macey :P

Delta Ban
Well done on the ban!

I once had a pony named 1337

You have to come up with a better argument than, "school's impeding my attempt at being a loser"

On the topic of school, geometry is a lot easier than I thought!

I put % after multiplication but before addition cause i didn't know where it goes though

yes but you can type them in :D

I might add support for parametric though. Well first i have to make it trim the line segments if they're off the screen instead of not drawing them so the graph looks more complete

Too Old For This Shit?

I'm 20, going on 21. I am in college, I party, I have a girlfriend, friends, a full-time job; I'm growing up for the most part, getting more mature by the hour. That being said, I've got less and less time to dedicate towards NG, and posting on the forums and working on all the flash and website shit people ask of me. Even when I can manage to get together enough time, I'm bored within minutes and switch to Video games or reading, or writing, or thinking up strategic ideas to make myself an entrapaneur. It seems to me that either I no longer find the forums as entertaining as I once did, or I'm plain and simply getting on with my life. I was just reminiscing about the old days: working with RM2K, having team meetings for games we never made, and acting like a n00b and thinking it was funny. Then things got serious. I started behaving maturely, making friends over the internet and making obligations with said friends. From that point on things just went down hill. Being a n00b isn't fun anymore, I can't go back to that, so I'm left with going away completely. Even now, the hours of down time I have at my job, I rather spend on Wikipedia or Digg looking up random ass things like obscure Star Wars lore, the complete story behind Halo 3, 3d hologram imaging, the fate of Advent Rising, and a plethora of other useless facts.

My question ultimately is: am I getting too old for this shit?

yup

Cases like denvish and bmk and jmtb02 say that you don't have to grow out of the bbs, if you don't want to do it anymore then yes I guess you are too old for this shit. And btw, 3d holographing with a mirror ftw.

oops, take a math class, what's the square root of a negative? undefined.

I mean the half below the y axis, smartarse :P Also, it's n / 0 that's undefined. The root of a negative is just not real.

True enough. Things were a lot more fun back when i was a teenager >:(

Hopefully when I get more free time I'll have more patience and can get into the BBS a bit more once I've unloaded my first real project on Newgrounds.

I'll kill you

Too Old for This Shit?
Every day I go to Newgrounds, more and more I flinch at the kind of people here and the respect given to some professional people from the 'public'. However, the ironic extremely professional-extremely casual style of this place is rewarding and fun. I mean, people whip out world-class animation just for a laugh, or program famous games on a whim just for Newgrounds. How many other sites would do that?

The maturity of this place is lacking, but so is it on the rest of the web. Go to other popular sites like Digg or DeviantArt to find similar communities. All-in-all, I'll sacrifice a little maturity to be in a professional, ultra close-knit community like Newgrounds.

Besides, Luis is here.
