we should release kids educational games. granny's garden is hardly the pinnacle of lyrical finesse.

35 quid for granny's garden... thats just amazing.

Grannys Garden is some scary shit.

They are the hardest games in the world. Gamers were tough in 1981.

Anyone remember Granny's Garden?

It got Shodan from SS2.. Xerxes next.

Go on then... since i have little else to do.

It doesnt make much sense from a musical structure point of view.. but meh.. killed an hour or so.

Does anyone know if the IRC channel is down?

Or have i just been banned?

Well in practice i was talking about an AGS region. Randomly moving animated sprites around representing splashes from heavy rain.

But i was also wondering if there was some magic algorithm for generating a cartesian coordinate within certain bounds from a random seed.

This is not really an AGS question, more of a general programming question.

How could i write a function which returns a random position within a certain region. If the region is square or rectangular its easy but what if its an irregular shape?

Graphics card is an Nvidia 6800. I very much doubt thats the cause.. and the game is already running in Dx5 due to the snow/rain plugin.

Harddrive access time is a possibility. Is there any way to cache sound files in advanced? Since this sound file is use very often it would be a good candidate for caching.

Yes the sound file is played immediately before room change.
Using Wait() does help but only if i wait for the entire sound file to be played.. and since its about a second and a half i'd rather not delay the player to that extent.

My files are all in OGG format since i favour an open format if possible and i think the memory allowance is only for the sprite cache isnt it? so it shouldnt really help but i'll give it a go.

From a processor perspective there is no reason why it shouldnt handle it. Its a 2.4ghz core 2 duo laptop which is actually the same as the desktop. The only thing that i think may cause problems is the onboard sound chip.

I use a simple PlaySound() command when changing from certain rooms (the sound of a door opening)

And it seems that on my laptop the sound stutters and plays twice. Im fairly sure it didnt do it on my desktop but i have a sound blaster audigy in that.. Is this a problem for cards with smaller buffers? I.e onboard stuff.. and if so how can i fix it?

You know the government orchestrated 9/11...

Also there are ALIENS!

Also Jews do something wrong.. i forget what it is.

I presume thats because textboxs are suppose to be for entry.. thats the cursor thingy.

Use a label instead

I apologise if this is a little too racy for the forum.. feel free to lock my thread if thats the case.

My spam box on my google mail is filled with a plethora of, shall we say, gentlemen's emails.

Now, the spammers know that the obvious words for ones manhood are caught easily by spam filters so they have to come up with euphemism which spam filters dont catch. So I thought i would share some of the better ones and wondered if anyone had some better ones.

Need a bigger man-monster?

She won't know what hit her with your new improved sizzle stick.

Winnie the Pooh should definately make a cameo.. best easter egg ever
