I'll keep it short: Police, Space and Larry Quest are playable online in a browser. Works just like the old games, except that you can see all the other people playing. It's not really multiplayer (some silly people here claim that just wouldn't work for adventures) but it's pretty fun. I started playing Space Quest, immediately died to the soldier coming into the room (I finished it a long time ago, eh!) and another player walked to my body and typed "take clothes body". Well, I'm sold!

According to the faq they don't have Activion/Blizzard permission so play it while you can!

Why hello there!

I needed a timer for my game but since you can't check the status of a SetTimer until it's done I had to make one myself. AGS has 40 cycles per second so I just needed a counter that goes to 40. (There's an example in the manual, but only under IsButtonDown, and on the forums) So this is in my roomscript where I need this timer. I've boiled it down to this simple form in which it should just show "Second" every ten seconds but it just shows "Second" 10 times right after each other. I'm probably doing something silly (for the last hour or two), but I can't quite figure out what.

Code: ags

function rhytm(int beat)
{
  int counter=0;
  while(counter <= beat)
  {
  counter++;
  }
Display("Second")  ;

}  

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
Display("Lololol");
rhytm(400);
rhytm(400);
rhytm(400);
rhytm(400);
rhytm(400);
rhytm(400);
rhytm(400);
rhytm(400);
}

Sooo, I've got the

documents, spoke to the farmer and now need to find out the password for the guy who just stands there. It's in the documents somehow.

I'm clueless.

So I got myself a shiny tablet to draw with. First thing I noticed was that something which I could draw in 10 minutes using a pencil takes hours to draw with a tablet. Anyway, it's fun. Bad puns! (in Dutch)  I couldn't get pen pressure to work, which means I should probably switch to Gimp or something. It's hard to draw straight lines with it and it tends to look really pixely.





Anyway, I'm a bit lost at this second picture. It's some dead guy in a coffin. He just doesn't look that great, and it's not just that he's much lighter then the surroundings. Maybe he isn't detailed enough or just looks too much like paint was used .. I get the idea the basic anatomy is correct though (except the head). Any pointers on improvement?

My MAGS entry featuring multiple solutions for puzzles, which lead to slightly different endings. You could get them all in three playthroughs, if you've got the patience. Don't worry about the timer, it just leads to a different ending. Please tell me what you think.

Geometric Shapes 1: Circleboy by Gamer_V

Once the world was square, and then the march '07 MAGS came, so I made it more circly. Something is missing, and circleboy, who is actually a ball but less 3d, is there to save the day! Or is he?

Be warned: It's a one button interface. Everybody could play it.   

On a side note: first game I've actually completed. Hurrah!
