Improvised guitar solo. Means pain/sadness. Whatever. 8)




Please note that the entry is really completely improvised, for a written-out entry, I would have played one or two things different.

The terrain is a simple raw-file, with the coordinates for all vertices, texture-coordinates etc. inside. The simplest way, but works nicely. Thanks for the comment!

I program in C++, check out some screens from various projects:

But you won't accept isometric tiles (you said, the 'props' from buloghts work would go, but that's a pretty loose definition)?

7 Days A Skeptic has a very atmospheric and interesting opening, probably my favorite. DoTT starts off funny as well.

Nice, failed on first try, but will try more later.

I'M CHEAP!!!

Er, I don't know much Java, but I program in C++, and AGS-script is very similar to C++ and much less to Java, in fact I wouldn't call Java and AGS-script similar at all.

Many RawDraw commands? Not really. For the grid, a two-dimensional while-loop and a RawDrawLine-call is fine. The rest can be done via objects, characters or raw sprites.

This is rather easy to do with AGS, but you will need at least a little experience in programming in general and a bit of it for scripting in AGS. If this is your first project, try something more simple.

EDIT: I get what you mean with grid now, do you mean tiles? Try searching for this word, you should find information.

I'm really not absolutely sure, but I think that GetGameSpeed ( ) might return zero for just about one or two frames - a really short time for us. In that case, the scrolling might lock up for a millisecond or something, but it would eventually catch up.

As I said, that's only what I'm thinking, CJ would need to clear this up, or you need to try it out yourself (or let somebody else try it out for you with Linux).

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure, but maybe there's a smallish lack of a second because of they way Linux or the emulator or whatnot works, so GetGameSpeed ( ) returns zero.

For the record, when dividing like this and THROUGH a variable that can be zero at some point in time, always check before dividing, like this:

Code: ags

float buffer = IntToFloat ( GetGameSpeed ( ) );

if ( buffer == 0.0 )
   buffer = 0.00000001;

float timeStep = 10.0 / buffer );

I completely agree with BB, though not with Salma Hayek, she looks like James Labrie...

Bahahah, I bet she doesn't sing nearly as good, though.

Yes, beat the horse to death. :

This discussion is pointless, because THIS is what a rack is:

Very nice, you'd be in my band instantly.

Of course, the recording quality isn't quite top-notch (mostly obvious in the second half after your fill with the volume fade-ins/outs and the MSN noise in it ), but your playing seems spot-on.

You should vary time-signatures though - how about something in 7/8 or 5/4?

Sure; as long as you credit me.

Hehe, thanks for your comments, guys, and keep 'em coming if you can!

What really pisses me off is when people make extensive noises while eating (don't know how you call it in English, I mean like, when you eat with your mouth wide open for example). Nobody eats completely silent, but some people just sound like they swallowed a 400 watt amp. I know this seems kinda random, but it really makes me aggressive, sometimes it's really hard for me not to say something about it. It's better when people I know better do it, though. Or when people pull stuff out of their teeth after eating. ARGH! I just can't explain it, but for some reason I can't stand watching this. It doesn't make me feel sick to my stomach or anything, it just makes me aggressive. Really strange.

does AGS support flash (swf) animations yet?

No.

Thanks.

Well, technically it isn't a remix, since I recorded all the tracks including drums and guitars on my own (taking only the notes for the chorus from a reference and modifying them slightly), but it should probably be called a "cover". ^^

The link doesn't work? Sure works for me and a few other people elsewhere.

I don't know neither "Cross over the road my friend" nor "Morning has broken", but - as I meant to say with "hymn/song-hybrid" - it's not a hymn in the classical sense at all, just a motivating theme song or something.
