Hey, is there any way to upload games and have them playable online, like Flash games?

That's all.

Thanks

What I want to do is not actually run a separate mini-game, but simply have a room with objects and stuff which will be the game.

To be precise, it's going to be part of some mysterious machinery and so you'll need to solve the puzzles to start up the machine's actions. What I want to do is this:
- Have a grid at least 5x5, where the whole picture has to be lots of lines connected through a central power tile. All you do is rotate the tiles until the ends match.
- When a tile is connected to the power supply, I want them to light up, whether it's the correct extension or not.

I realise this sounds very confusing, but for a 100% perfect illustration play this game:

So basically I want to do exactly what that game does. Even if I limited the grid to 4x4, which would be very easy to solve, wouldn't that still involve an ENORMOUS amount of scripting? I really can't think of an efficient way to do this.

Edit: It's been about six months since any replies to this...
I now work full time ( ) so I don't have much time to work on my wonderful game.

I was wondering if there's anyone who would be willing to script the whole minigame for me? I will definitely give a credit in the game, and if there's anything else you want I'll see what I can do. There will be a couple more minigames after this one.
Anyone who wants the challenge, go right ahead!
I might go post this in the other board about recruiting people as well.

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone could help me with the computer trouble I've been having.

First of all, I have a Pentium 4 3.6GHz. It's about 2 years old.
Now, every 6 months or 1 year, the computer starts playing up. The most common issues are:
- while starting up, it doesn't recognise any hard drive and I have to restart multiple times
- during startup or while using the computer, I get that blue error screen which says "beginning physical dump of memory"
- also while using the computer, I get these Windows alerts that say "some file can't be saved right now. This may be caused by a hardware failure" or something like that
- and just yesterday, when my sister logged on, it screwed up and her profile is basically back to when Windows was first installed! She lost all of her documents! I'm really not happy about that
- sometimes, when starting up, Windows will run its CheckDisk which will sometimes fix up things but sometimes not.

So based on all these errors, I think it may be hardware issues with the hard drive and RAM?
Last time this happened, I emailed the companies and Seagate told me to use SeaTools and the RAM co told me to use MemTest, which doesn't seem to work at all.

What usually happens is, the problems go away after a few days or a week. But this time, with the loss of my sister's stuff, I'm concerned.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

P.S. I'm in the right forum, aren't I?

Edit: Yes, last time this happened I checked the cords, couldn't see anything wrong. But I'm no specialist. Either way, it's fixed itself before so probably isn't a loose cord.

Hi everyone, I have two issues at the moment.

1. In my room, there is a staircase going up, but the character is also able to walk behind it. The stairs are separate in the picture, so you can still see the character between the steps when he's behind them. The thing is, when he goes to walk up the stairs, when he gets to the base line for walkbehind, he ends up behind the stairs because they over-lap, instead of staying on the staircase.
Is there any way I can fix this?

2. I thought it would be better if I drew my room pictures at a higher resolution (640*400) and then when I imported them they would look better at 320*200. But when I import them, they stay at their large resolution. Can the game be made to scale the pictures down, or do I have to do it myself in my paint program?

By the way I use Paint It, it's like Paint but with a few more tools. It comes with Creative Writer.

Hi everyone, sorry but I have some questions, and they're probably very, very simple but I can't seem to find the information anywhere.

1. How do I cause the game to end when the character finishes what they're supposed to do? For the life of me I can't find this anywhere in the manual! For that matter I also need to know how to end it when they lose.

2. My game (it's my first) involves a bank robbery, and I have a bank vault room where there's a laser and you need to put down a mirror to reflect it.
My red laser beam is an object, which will then change when a mirror item is used on it. Under the laser I put a region which is supposed to say "you crossed the laser..." if you don't use the mirror. But if you use the mirror first, I want it to do nothing.
So, I used global variable 1 but it doesn't work properly. It doesn't seem to display the message at all.

Thanks a lot, and I'm sorry if these have been answered before (I'm sure my first question has been but I haven't found it).
I hope to be able to make some good games soon.
