That's an... interesting topic. I've had a strange dream a couple of years ago I've thought about turning into a short story, so I might enter.

Aw man, that's sad. I mean, I can hardly consciously recall a time when this wasn't in developement... I was like 6, 7 or 8 when that trainwreck started to get rolling... 

I'd still need an IsKeyPressed(null) equivalent to reset a 'play a sound' bool...

Code: ags

bool any_key_pressed=true;
int i=0;
while ((i<=90)&&(any_key_pressed==true)) {
if (IsKeyPressed(i)) any_key_pressed=false;
i++;}

Again, untested, but should work. About the other thing: are you using a custom GUI for this, or Game.InputBox?

Well, the key press is already processed by the time the box is re-enabled. Does the code I posted work (if you put it into repeatedly_execute_always)?

I'm not sure if this is the most effective way of doing it, but a while loop should at least work. As in,

Code: ags

int i=0;
while (i<=90) {
if (IsKeyPressed(i)) {PlaySound(42); i=90;}
i++;}

/EDIT: If you're using some sort of custom GUI for this, though, you can always just set "Visibility" to "Normal, initially off" instead of "Pause game when shown".

Did the two of you go all the way to the end? As in, did you get to explore her Secret Chamber? Or did you have to "kill Joseda" again? 

Well, trying doesn't hurt, does it? And in a fit, you can always enable legacy code in the game's setting pane (by setting everything that starts with "Enforce" to false).

Maybe you should

do a search for the name of the security system you want to bypass? Maybe it'll tell you something useful... or you can find an interesting new link on one of the pages it refers to...

Also, if you want some spoiler tags, it's [ hide] (minus the space, of course), not [hint]

To be exact, the first result the forum search returns should answer your questions just fine. 

Before I go ahead and do something stupid: Is any definition of "host" fine? Or is it strictly limited to, say, meanings one through three?

Also, Herzlichen Glückwunsch indeed... you've been doing a great job.

Nice to see that game is still (occasionally) played...

I suggest you go there and poke around a little. Maybe you'll find something interesting?

Also, apologies in advance for the ending. 

Well... it's been a while since I had to write a formal application for something, but I do remember a few DOs and DON'Ts from fun-lovin' ol' Germany:

- It's recommended to have a serious picture of yourself on the CV. The specifics vary, but you can't go wrong with suit and tie, unless you're applying for a job at a farm or something like that.

- If you send in a handwritten application, pencil or not, it won't even be read. Don't do this.

- Do some research about the company you're applying for and throw in a few lines about how much you'd love to work for them, and only them. I'd recommend a phone call; that can also be a good way to find out how formal they like it.

- The application itself should be very serious and businesslike. If you're going for a "creative" job, though, you may want to throw in some samples of your work, preferably in a seperate folder.

- Send your application in an unused, clean white A4 envelope. Folding is a no-no.

Aw yeah, that's one's awesome. Although I think they were really hard pressed to come up with a name for the aliens that abbreviates to FROGS. I mean "Feindliche Raumschiffe ohne Galaktische Seriennummer" (hostile spaceships without galactic serial number)? What the hell? 

Well, if you really want "pranks" of the You're Going To Hell For This variety, you could always have the main character slip small amounts of milk to lactose-intolerant people, then somehow block their toilet access.

Also, stealing people's cars and driving over cops with them. HILARIOUS!

I hear BMT Micro is a standard platform for this stuff. I don't know much about it, having only experienced it from customer side, but it seems to work well enough, so you may wanna check them out.

/EDIT: Well, as I said, I only experienced it from a customer's perspective. Sorry that didn't help. 

Make more and you'll only get better, that or you'll get worse, either one will do.

But what if his skill level doesn't change at all? Or fluctuates only a little, like f(x)=10+(sin(x)/100)? Wouldn't that work too?

OBI YOU HAVE MADE ME CONFUSED 

That, or teenage teenager is teenage.

I'd say 10 is

As far as I know, you can run old AGS games (made with version 2.71) via these runtimes. But apart from that, you're probably better off getting a real computer running some sort of emulation software.

Man, I wish I knew how to draw... 



While he officially works as the sports instructor, most people (that is, everybody except Mr. Peabody) can't help but think he only works at the camp to be able to bully people three years younger than him. It's a good thing that, like every bully in every show ever, Hermann also is extremely dim. He claims he lost his right eye in a bar brawl. It's probably just hogwash, but so far nobody has been suicidical enough to try and check.
