HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!

Portal King is the one award thats always eluded me.. im a one trick a month pony... i think itll always be far from my grasp.
I never actually knew how to get King of the Portal. Still the effort is kind of pointless, not only does it not list your award anywhere on your profile, but you also don't get the Certificate compensation that the monthly gives you. Oh well, I guess it'd still be kind of cool for that one month that you have it. Does anyone know if the hits to your profile rise significantly for these non-award giving prizes like monthly and all the holiday/ competition related things.
fastest way to iterate through an array
In AS2 (according to google links from flashkit etc - i havn't tested) for...in is supposedly alot faster than an normal for iteration through an array. however in AS3 the new for each...in is faster and for..in slow:
setting up an array of 5million initialized integers (if you don't initiliaize for..in and for each..in wont iterate through the unitialized variables)
for(var i:int = 0; i<len; i++) arr[i] = 10; //272ms
for(var i:String in arr) arr[i] = 10; //too slow to measure
for(var i:* in arr) arr[i] = 10; //495ms (note that you cannot do var i:int in arr)
for each(var i:int in arr) i = 10; //183ms (note that you don't need to access the array - why it's faster)

Hehe, these speed tests generally surprise me. The last one I remember was being slightly annoyed by everyone saying that shapeflag was sooo much slower than regular hitTests, and then seeing some test where it's only like 10ms slower out of 500 :s I'm still unsure about how much weight the loop, iterations and timer finding take in those formulae, though.

Ok fair enough, for the average array size these all work out to be less than a millisecond though so I'll still use for(var i:int = 0; i<arr.length; i++;){arr[i]=10}
Theme to Live Life By?
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a paper for English explaining what I feel is my theme to life. I chose indifference, jokingly at first and then it just became more and more true as I thought about it.
Which got me thinking, do a lot of people actually have a certain theme that fits their life? Or do you just go out and wing it. So I figure I'll ask the regs.
What do you think your theme of life is?
swirling venom you came out as a really big jerk coming off on galiel sure some times he comes off all mighty and shit but over all he is a great guy (well from what i e know him) the fact that he told you that you should improve your game
isn't a bad thing he only wanted to help about you saying that he shares his opinion without you asking well you uploading pictures from the game over and over again without saying to not give advice and criticism is the same as asking also it came out that you have something against him because a lot of people told you the same thing and you only snapped at him
i am sorry if i came out a jerk but what you did was really rude
that's my 20 cents (yes i got it wrong)
almost two years
in less then a month it would be two years of me in this account why patu1 ?
because patu was taken patu means duck in portuguese which was my capoeira nickname for 7 years until i quit for several reasons patu was taken but probably
by me a year or so before that so you know i am now gonna check if there is a userpage of him and if it is blank if it is full then well it's not me if it is empty but exits i am stupid lol and if it doesnt exist i am even more stupid =] well i guss bmk jmtob and Luis have benn cursing my username a lot of the time for spamming well i don't know i always was a spammed guss i don't get banned because in my spam i actually say stuff it's not rally spam i just post a lot lot lot lot sad for you guys that you asked me to start spell check the fact that i didn't
prevented me a lot of the time from posting so now you have to withstand my charming personality a lot...well i just wish all the fun regs from before i left for a few months were here all though some make appearances like shirturtle and evan...i remember that luis said back then that he is taking a break from the forum becuase the over artists were giving him crap for not being productive
so i got a little carried away deal with it =]
animators comeback
well because this forum became a little bit boring and not reliable for the animators and i got sick of seeing only collabs and questions threads
i thought of reviving those things
1.animation main don't really know what happened to as main and don't really care but animation main was an awesome thing who helped everybody so i am going to re open it unless someone here refuses and thinks well you are not good enough let me do it i think this time it would live on because i want to make sure it is organized and I think that's why it died so wanted to ask luis if he still has the list of tutorials that people made because you used to host it on your site
2.the flash battle freestyle thred well that loved thread with the simple rules
not to spam there try to talk about battels on pm theme selected by over pepole or yourself and judging by everybody else
3.animation chalenges those were really great and a lot of well known artists were participating and that i think should be hosted by someone else more talented and productive =]
some one wants to help with those ? and what do you think ?
wow longest post ever...

I'm not trying to be an arse here, but don't they use punctuation in whatever language you speak natively? It's such an enormous pain in the ass trying to translate your scribbling into something I can actually make sense of. Which is even more frustrating because most of the time your posts do seem to make some sort of valid point.
Anyway, reviving 2 and 3 would be okay, although I think that's just as easy as bumping the old threads.

Saltwater Tank
I love fish... I've always ran freshwater tanks because they are pretty easy to manage. Today I am taking the leap though and jumping into a saltwater tank... prettier fish and coral to take care of.
The issue with Saltwater though is that its about 10x the work. The salt has to be at the right gravity, saturated with enough iodine, phosphorus, etc. And then the weird thing is getting the tank started. It has to cycle to the right levels by putting in real rock from the ocean, and then getting all the nutrients and chems into the system... and then killing fish in the process because you screwed up somehow. Then you have to watch it every day to make sure the tank levels stay right, all the while being patient for a whole month... then you can put the fish in.
I'll keep the forum posted on how it goes, it should be a fun hobby for a while.
Hobbies
When Flash isn't your hobby/job/pain in the ass, what do you do for fun? Pix or it's not true.

Oooh! That's one hell of a jump. I have a freshwater tank, and they're not too hard to manage, but you're going to have some serious work running a salt water one.

I heard I'm going to Israel March. Can't wait! Patu maybe you'll be there :).

Awesome Movie
So this movie has gotten rave reviews and daily first out of it... is it cool for people to turn in other peoples work? i didnt get that memo.
I'll have to ask Adam Philips if i can 'share' with newgrounds his next yuyu flick. It's cool that ng is so welcoming about that. I was under the impression that one had to slave over frames and frames of animation on their own.
