VEGETABLE PATCH EXTREEME WEB-SITE

Captain Mostly · Wed 07/07/2004 09:05:56

look! I'm finally making use of the web space sylpher's been lending me for ages!

My mate Kevin has put together (under my watchful and guiding eyes) THIS amazing self-promotional web site for me:

http://www.sylpher.com/vegetablegames

There's even an on-line game with a prize!! How dedicated to my fans am I?!?!

You are seriously twisted.

Gilbert · Wed 07/07/2004 09:15:58

Great!

But you should add also RLBAT and those 'RON' games you made for completeness!

Captain Mostly · Wed 07/07/2004 09:17:41

Thanks! But this is a page JUST for the vegetables. I think it would confuse my message if I started putting my other games on there as well... They're of a different era.

Gilbert · Wed 07/07/2004 09:20:28

Hehe I understand, but there should be an online place where people can surf the whole Mostly kingdom easily, at least some links in the sites to link to others.

Captain Mostly · Wed 07/07/2004 09:23:17

I guess I'll have to look into it! 8) 8)

Hi mister !

I really liked your game, but I could never figure out how to obtain a big score... In fact I didn't really understand the tutorial But eh, I still have to learn english

Anyway, I have made a plugin wich allows an AGS game to read / access an internet webpage. You could for exemple acces a PHP page from your game which would update the page with best scores, each time someone who has played your game wish to put his score on the net.

Just an idea though. Tell me if it interests you

Captain Mostly · Wed 07/07/2004 12:27:29

that sounds fascinating!!! If you e-mail me the plug-in (or point me to a link) I'd love to play around with it, and see if I can get it to work!

It does sound HORRIBLY complicated though!

Dorcan · Wed 07/07/2004 19:34:08

No problem, I will send it to you by email.

In fact, there is only one function :

string ReadWebPage( string url);
which returns the web page content.

It works the same way as any browser.

you could have for exemple :

ReadWebPage("http://mywebsite.com/scores.php?action=add&score=123123&name=Dorcan");

Hi Dorcan.
That sound like it could be a useful Plugin for some things.
Anyway I could get a copy of it too? Thanks.

I only had three seizures looking at that page.

Lame.

I suggest a large splashpage alternately flashing red and blue, really, really fast, that way only the strongest will survive to make it to the next page. MUHAHAHA!

Dorcan · Thu 08/07/2004 06:33:35

Captain, I've sended you an email.

Barbarian, the plugin is still experimental, when it's finished, I'll make it accessible for everybody.

Captain Mostly · Thu 08/07/2004 08:52:28

Rode, does this mean I've cured you of your continuous seizures?!?! If you only flipped out 3 times while looking at my page, you should look at it all the time! I bet those three you snuck in were just when you looked at the full colour screen shots right?
Keep your eyes on the soothing background... let the vegetables calm you...

That prize for the naughty bits game is more seizure-inducing than the website. CHI monkey.

Pesty · Thu 08/07/2004 22:05:16

A Captain Mostly website brings me joy! I have won the prize and I cannot wait to find out what it is! Especially if it is seizure inducing (good thing I don't have seizures!)!

Mr_Frisby · Fri 09/07/2004 03:04:52

I tried to download the prize but it didn't work - is it just me or is that the joke -
Yours sincerely,
Idiot.

Captain Mostly · Mon 12/07/2004 08:39:28

there is a prize... I don't know why you can't download it though... ALSO, I wouldn't have expected it to be particularly seizure enducing though!!!

will look into this.

Al_Ninio · Mon 12/07/2004 08:54:55

This prize is more confusing than RLATBTAT.
Which is awesome.
Yay Mostly!

Edit:
Aaaaand now that I read the readme, I actually know what to do.
My high score is 160.
Have mercy, I'm colourblind!

Captain Mostly · Mon 12/07/2004 10:22:35

for the colourblind (and I actually DID think to myself while making the prize that I really shouldn't make a game that discriminates against this group of people)

The PINK items are:
the cows
the chairs
and the bicicles

the BLUE items are:
the wizardly hats
the tamborines
and the vases-with-flowers

and the YELLOW items are:
The turnips
The pens
and the light bulbs.

I hope this is of some small help (not least, perhaps, in identifying what my drawings are meant to be!)

Rodekill, something like these have?
