Is that the evil puzzle at the end of The Journey Down: Chapter Two?

[ALL YOUR BANS ARE BELONG TO SNARKY]

ALL YOUR BANS ARE BELONG TO SNARKY

Just can't seem to get my head round why this isn't working.  It's in a light cycles game and everything works fine (albeit my attempts at programming AI opponents sucks), and I want to have a crashed cycle and its trail "de-rez".  The function I've written to do this seems in principle to be pretty simple - it simply checks every pixel and overwrites it with black if it matches that particular cycle's colour - but it doesn't seem to actually do anything.  The game carries on as if nothing's happened even though I've checked to ensure the function actually is being called - something breaks down inside one (or both?) of the While loops.

Code: ags

function DeRez()
{if (DeRezzed[n]==true) return;

DrawingSurface *surface = Room.GetDrawingSurfaceForBackground();
surface.DrawingColor = 0;
cy=0;
while (cy<200)
{   cx=0; 
    while (cx<320)
     {if (surface.GetPixel(cx, cy)==c[n]) surface.DrawPixel(cx, cy);
      cx++;}
      cy++;}
surface.Release();
DeRezzed[n]=true;
}

Will Mr Rivers choose wisely, or poorly?  Why is The Hood from Thunderbirds watching over him?  Why does it look like the sarcophagus is sticking its tongue out?!?!?!

Intriguing...

Finally a final version? But for how long?!

Until you decide to voice the German version?

Well that's what you all get for pressing the big red banning button.
Snarky did warn you all.

But was it a learning exercise for us, or a chance for Snarky to release his inner megalomaniac?

Or both?

Oops I had managed to forget a few final lines of voicing for the narrator... I have now corrected this.

This is the final FINAL version.

Longer than you think!

It was a long wait just to check you would keep your word and dish out the bans!

[Do I need a license to distribute mp3 encoded content?]

so are there still patent on the mp3 codec (was it lame?) or can we use it without problems in AGS games? Or is ogg still better because it's free?

AFAIK this is still current:

"Do I need a license to distribute mp3 encoded content?
Yes. A license is needed for commercial (i.e., revenue-generating) use of mp3 in broadcast systems (terrestrial, satellite, cable and/or other distribution channels), streaming applications (via Internet, intranets and/or other networks), other content distribution systems (pay-audio or audio-on-demand applications and the like) or for use of mp3 on physical media (compact discs, digital versatile discs, semiconductor chips, hard drives, memory cards and the like).
However, no license is needed for private, non-commercial activities (e.g., home-entertainment, receiving broadcasts and creating a personal music library), not generating revenue or other consideration of any kind or for entities with associated annual gross revenue less than US$ 100 000.00."

(From http://mp3licensing.com/help/developers.html - seems legit but I haven't exhaustively investigated the veracity of the statements on this site.)


Personally I can see absolutely no disadvantage to using OGG, and it's easy enough to convert files so no real obstacle.

For people who are interested in this game I would just like to point them to my (reasonably detailed) review - http://www.indiegamenews.com/2016/05/review-demetrios-big-cynical-adventure.html

To be honest I wasn't really expecting much of this game at first, but I found it to be a highly entertaining and enjoyable adventure game with a unique style.  The overuse of crude humour is the only thing I didn't like about it - good puzzles, characters, dialogues, tons of interactions in each location and a few laugh-out-loud moments.

I'm a terrible procrastinator.

Actually it sounds like you're a really good procrastinator!

What a fun idea for a game!  Grats on the release.

Tron 2.0

Gah should have got that one.  Great game, loved the way stat boosts were implemented.

[Ban Thread]

So, it seems that Snarky meant what he said in the Ban Thread.

It's been a strange 24 hours... I have survived, but it has been a bitter tale of grief and woe.  Never again.

Wut?!

[Done! â€"Snarky]

[Captain Disaster In:]

Pfft...You forgot your own rule:

Captain Disaster In: Escape from The Secret of The Curse of Gabriel Knight and Day Quest Paradox featuring The Gemini Legacy of Hugh Bliss Singing in the Rain, but it was only a Mirage part One.

Clearly you misread...

My CD games follow the format of "Captain Disaster in:" followed by a 6 word title

Escape from The Secret of The Curse of Gabriel Knight and Day Quest Paradox featuring The Gemini Legacy of Hugh Bliss Singing in the Rain, but it was only a Mirage part One.

This thread sucks

Germans are such bad losers!
(They haven't had as much practice at losing as we Brits! )

For now I will enjoy the success of Andy Murray's resilient brilliance...

Don't forget Gordon Reid!

Well done Cassie!  (Also well done Portugal and even Ronaldo, I don't particularly like the guy but as a footballer you can't say he doesn't deserve it, an amazing talent coupled with incredible work ethic.)

Thanks Stupot+ for hosting this, it was great fun!
