Meet Moss-punk.

That's awesome. Reminds me of my Warhammer-terrain-making days. I still have a half-started 4x8 feet playing field in my garage covered with that moss stuff... I haven't touched it for 5 years.

Anyways, it takes place in a city and its top down perspective. It's like, nearly direct top down. Anyways, the whole thing I need help with is basically the city is going to be randomly generated, and I'm trying to think of features that are easily recognizable from top down. i.e overturned garbage cans, cars, fluttering newspapers, etc. I'm just looking for any ideas on elements that could be recognizable from above.

Trees, bushes, houses, stoplights, telephone poles, people, cars, corn fields, sun umbrellas/outdoor cafe with tables & chairs, sports arenas (football, baseball, etc), kids playground equipment, parking lots, large fountains of water, water towers, man-holes, cones, sewer grates, park benches, rivers, swimming pools, varying sidewalk patterns, phone booths, crates, fences, stains, hot-dog stands, ice-cream stands, verandas, for a start

Yeah, I wish that I hadn't destroyed it. My painting it and then getting rid of it pissed me off. I'm hoping that the painted one comes out better.

I think I might buy one of those little guys, it looks like fun to make one. The problem is I don't have anything here I can use to customize it, so I reckon I'd better think out what I want to do with it before I start buying random stuff I'll never use.

You don't need much. Mine is only sharpies (about 7 or 8 colors), and a bit of sculpey clay. Oh and an oven. I hope you have one of those.

Superbowl
Anyone else a Packer fan? I couldn't believe how many opportunities they blew, if they couldn't come away with a win after 2 fucking missed field goals then they don't deserve to win, this isn't their year. Here's to waiting 6 more fucking months for a season that couldn't possibly replicate this one. You guys blew it.

I don't care about sports but I saw that. How the fuck does that happen. They miss two CLOSE FIELD GOALS and then on the really far 46 yard on they make it! Stupid-ass sports.

Virus
I got this shitty virus on my Flash laptop and it keeps opening up Internet Exp. and it's called "Internet Speed Monitor". Anyone know how I can make it so that you are not able to open up Internet Explorer and only up Firefox. That work?

Try either setting up a dummy proxy server to fool IE, or by using the Program Defaults Utility window. Then, of course, you can just click on a shortcut to Firefox to open it.

Giants Win, Packers Lose
In my opinion, pretty much either team is screwed when going up against the Pats in the Super Bowl. The Patriots are undefeated in the season, so I don't think they'd be willing to let the opposition own them and steal their glory.

Then again, the Giants probably have a better chance of ousting them than the Packers, methinks. It certainly didn't help Green Bay by having short-sleeved uniforms during the game, which was below zero in temperature. It probably caused some screw-ups like those two horribly missed field goals.

Eh, I'll just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials.

I have 5,000 posts. I was going to make some witty thread, but realized I had nothing witty to say.

He could still delete that post. But then we'd be jmtb-less for a week. :(

Cursor*10

To me, this user TokyoExplosion is clearly not the author of Cursor*10 and has stolen it.

Cursor*10 was made by one Yoshio Ishii, of NekoGames. Japanese with seemingly well over 3 years experiance with his first game as far as i can tell dating back to October 2004.

This user TokyoExplosion fits the bill of a stereotypical 13 year old as witnessed by his style of writing in the submission page description and his 3 BBS posts.

I've already PM'ed tom (although i accidently gave a link in error (not to another submission, just generally incorrect)) but i said it was currently top of the portal and the name of the submission and author obviously.

Those are awesome maybe i would do one two.
What a wonderful trend.

Funny how his comments went from engrish to 13 year old to complete sentences.

What japanese person says OMG.

The stealing aside, it was an awesome game

Tiny As problem

For a university project I'm building a website prototype in Flash to showcase the lay-out and basic functionality of the website. It's supposed to be a website for festival bookings but that doesn't really matter right now. When people click on the name of an activity a pop-up appears with some basic information in it, that's where I ran into some trouble though.

I have one movieclip (the pop-up) that's set to visible = false on load:

Within that movieclip there's a button to hide the pop-up with the following code:

That button doesn't work, I guess it has something to do with the on(load) on the popup MC, but I can't really figure it out. I promise I'll work up on my AS skills in the near future :/. Thanks in advance.

You left the _ off the visible in the second code :P

I dunno, if I waited until jmtb02 day and the day ended up sucking, I would just feel weird.

All these Days just cheapen each other :P It was fun for Inglor, and Luis Day was something of an elaborate practical joke, but don't go overboard.

We're sorry. We'll make a Paranoia Day to make it up to you.

Advocating that would be hypocritical of me :)

We'll soon see. He said he's making a sequel with ArmorGames, so if he did steal it I think they'll know.

He can probably just pretty much use the same code though. And just make the levels a little different.

Yay, my Bamboo finally arrived today! I've only been messing with it for about two hours now and I can already see that my artwork looks way, and I mean way, better than before. I'm at the same level as Adam Philips right now. Maybe a little higher.

To illustrate it's brilliance and sheer power when it comes to using the almighty paint brush, I've finished my, dare I say, magnum opus:

Developer Days

Instead of these individual developer days, one could organize a "Flash Community Day" or something similar. Everyone would make an animation or game honoring a Flash developer(s) or idea, which has been influential or important to them. That way, you don't have a bunch of different days each honoring a single person, but one day to honor the community. Of course, one runs the risk of getting a slew of animations for Adam Phillips or Tom Fulp, but hopefully it would be more diverse.

Wow i do not spam as much as i thought i did i am here 2 years and didn't get to 1000...

I think that is a really cool idea, and yeah, hopefully some lesser-known artists would have a spotlight shone on them. Good thinkin!
