That's the stupidest thing ever :s I mean, I miss classes a fair bit but I can always catch up pretty quickly from peoples' notes and junk. I don't get what they hope to achieve by dropping your grade :/

Its to reinforce it.. the only reason people give bad things to bad people is to persuade them to not do it again.. thats a pretty good motive imo..

It doesn't seem like it's going the right direction, though. They should be encouraging people to get the best grades possible, not taking them away.

They are, there encouraging them, to go to class thus improving there grade :) Logically.. it works.. but alot of people are lazy..

Ok i just read the last page of adrenilne's halo project collab: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/7988 72/2

Read the shit about whiteninja (whos a very good coder, im working with him atm and he knows alot of about AS and other languages..) and how "AS is not a real language".. it just really pissed me off!

Finally, it's up!

There's tonnes of spam...

NG Chat Room

Wow, is that what the General forum is like? That was terribly spammy. Guess it's bound to happen when it first pops up.

It's really bad at the moment, no one can talk, its just a waste of time...

So... the punishment for not wanting to improve your grade is to get a lower grade?

Oh wait, so adman, do you mean, if someone hasn't changed in performance in any way, they drop a grade. Did you mean to word it that way. I just responded to what I thought you said (I should read posts in more detail).

It's just an applet that connects to an IRC server, so if you feel like getting spammed through your own IRC client, it's at 77.247.176.154:6969 in #ngchat

If you're not familiar with IRC, it has a system for channel operators, which isn't being used here for some reason. As well, this server has nickserv, chanserv, and all of those sorts of things to make sure things don't run out of control *cough*

At any rate

Its to reinforce it.. the only reason people give bad things to bad people is to persuade them to not do it again.. thats a pretty good motive imo..

So you're saying that I'm a "bad person" because I don't attend a class I paid over a thousand dollars to be in? Is working to help support my family, my education, and myself "bad", then, because I do that instead of go to school on these occasions? And that, as punishment for being so "bad", I should receive lower grades than the kids who get Mom and Dad to pay for their on-campus apartments, even if they don't actually score as well as I do on assignments?

I know I'm playing a martyr, and I'm not trying to bitch and moan here--I play the hand I'm dealt, and I'm sure I have a VERY cushy life compared to the vast majority of the people in the world--but the point is that it's my money, my education, etc. What difference does it make to a professor (or whoever, as the case may be) whether I attend or not, whether I fail or not, and for what reasons I do those things?

You've not finished the London hub yet. And by not finished, I mean you've STILL not added me and BritishMoose to the cast list. Me and Alex are totally gonna kick you square in the balls in August <3

Can someone get me a link for an AS:main Where I can make buttons clickable to bring to a web page?

Also Happy late easter :)

'This isn't really the NG chat, it's a temporary thing created by citricsquid Enjoy it or something.' Nice one squid-ers :)
Doesn't want to load up for me though :(
Well, it loaded on refresh but crashed out. I dunno if you have or not, but you should make it so you're able to create your own room. Then if we wanted to chat we could make an individual room and all go in it >:)

Bouncing game

Check out my new game so far, link.
Idea of the game is to bounce the other blue balls out so they don't get in to the blue circle, like a defense game. I've still got quite a bit to do but I want your opinions.

Controls are the arrow keys. There are 3 control settings easy, medium, hard. To switch between them press 1, 2 and 3. Press R to restart the level as I've only made one practice level to test stuff out.

Easy mode - Straight forward movement.
Medium mode - acceleration and friction
Hard mode - acceleration, friction and gravity.

I prefer medium personally.

Anyway, criticism? Should I make the canvas bigger? Or the base smaller? Comments :)

I have reached the Four-oh-oh-oh :)

Yay :D

RE: Doggy Tricks

Too bad the dog doesn't have a soul. Oh well.

30% more visitors? For a dog? People are dumb. I'd find that degrading to my religion I could train a dog to sacrifice a virgin.

There is no such AS: Main page. The code (for AS2 is):

Also, please don't make AS requests in the lounge, make a new thread.

To be fair, it is Buddhism, the world's most awesome organised religion. I didn't pay much attention in RE, but I think it mainly consists of shaving your head, mastering all forms of Kung Fu and getting shot by the Burmese millitary.

Stupid AS3 errors

Don't get me wrong, I love the bastards. I just wish that instead of just giving you the function where you're fucking up (which is enough most of the time) in a message like 'Cannot access method or property of a null object reference', they'd give you the name of the object or value you're trying to access. It'd make staring blankly at a few lines for ages trying to click your spelling error a lot faster >.<

Yes its incredibly stupid, but if you use the debugger it will pinpoint the exact part of the code causing the error.

which yes, is icrnedibly stupid why can't they just have it tell you it anyways.

but i digress.

Bah, I got it in the end. I was calling a function which involved an array which was defined after the calling >.<

DO NOT GO IN THERE!
I planned on getting loads of work done today but instead I got stuck in there for hours. :P
Pathetic, I know. I just couldn't leave. Krinkels actually made a cameo.

Hmmm... Why is Lord-Sonx still gone, he said he'd be up to a month :S

I don't like it, powerhungry mods ban you for any excuse, i mean you cant even link away from newgrounds or use a username not on NG... It's complete shite.
