Nice work guys, good explanations. I hope this has answered your question Vel, and anyone else who was curious.

There is a further use of antialiasing, which modern graphics cards can do - "FSAA", or Full Screen Anti Aliasing. In its simplest form, this involves creating a double size copy of the entire screen, then shrinking it back down with anti-aliasing, before drawing each frame. This allows the entire screen to have the anti-aliasing effect, but can cause blurriness depending on how it is applied.

Blimey, good to see you again after all this time Greg. Good stuff

The most cheap/promising-looking one I've found is from www.ryanair.com and leaves London Stansted at 10:50(am) on Monday 28th July and leaves Gothenburg at 21:05(pm) on Friday 1st August. The cost is £19.99 both ways (without tax), which comes to £61.22 all included with tax and fees...

I'm concerned about getting transport from the airport on the way back. If it leaves Sweden at 21:05, then presumably it'll be about 23:00 before we leave Stansted airport. At that time, it won't be possible for me to get a train home.

We really need to be out of the airport by 21:00 at the latest, so an earlier flight home is essential IMO.

I think scotch has explained it well.

Basically, the anti-aliasing smooths the resize by blending the pixels together. If you draw the image at its normal size you won't get any effect from anti-aliasing.

This magical thread
Has now passed 300th post
It lives forever!

where did you dl it from? its on kazaa.. (and works)

Haha, you mean you downloaded something called "Secret of Monkey Island" from kazaa and didn't end up with "Secret Island Fantasies 5 XXX"? Blimey.



Jimi: your problems are due to the way it was zipped up - we can't give you a definitive answer because it's not a problem with the game, it's a problem with whoever uploaded it.

Bleh, I just noticed it... just 5 days, and the first and the last one are for travel... that leaves us with what, 3 days? A bit short for not so cheap journey... This leaves me a little bit in doubt... I don't even know if it's possible considering the bus depature dates.

Trust us - Mittens 2002 was the same length, and IMO is the perfect length for an event of this kind, because it gives plenty of time for preparation beforehand and recovery afterwards, and you only have to take 1 week off work.

Good work!

Raggit, listen here
Speak haiku, or leave this thread
Never to return

Will there be one on creating cut scenes or is that to advanced. Also I was wondering if there are any plans for a update on the tutorials on scripting.

There may be one on full cut-scenes, I don't know yet. What do you think needs updating in the scripting tutorial?

Ok, part 7 is up now, hope it helps someone.

I've almost finished part 7, but these tutorial pages are a low-priority task so I don't really have a target date for finishing them

Czar, cease and desist
your non-Haiku sentences
for we're on a roll

Las you will concede
that Sri Lanka kick your ass
in Ball and Wicket

Haiku is the path
To inner peace of the mind
And the body too

I never take anything seriously unless it has to do with business or politics (ie. never) even then when I'm trying to help, people think I'm being incompetent

Hehe, I know what you mean - I very rarely take things seriously, and because I like to mess around in the office some people naturally assume I'm incompetant.  Whether they're right or not, of course, is another matter entirely

Anyway, to keep on topic, I'm not shy, but I don't go up and talk to random people either. If I've got an opinion on something, you'll know about it.

Someone was saying the other day about how there are two main types of people - groupers, and singlers. A grouper is someone who is in their element when part of a group of say 4 or more people - they don't talk loads, but will gladly hold forth about their view in a group conversation. A singler, on the other hand, is quite shy and withdrawn when in a group, but talk to them on their own and they can talk for hours.

And then of course there are the last group of people who I really respect, like KANDYMAN, who have a good enough memory and confidence to relate stories and lead a group's conversation, and still be good to talk to one-on-one.

The human being is a strange animal.

Neat idea, m0ds

Do you guys think it would be useful to have a checkbox for each option in your profile, and then the forum would display the icons under your avatar? It does seem a really good way of letting other people know what you're mainly into.

I'm sorry Fuzzpilz
But you also are not right
A six part line two

Flippy you are wrong
Your first sentence had six words
Better luck next time

Haiku is a skill
Known to many a culture
But mastered by few

Those who can't partake
Must simply lack inner peace
It will come one day

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.

As for more advanced tutorials - my plan is to first of all finish the tutorials to get new users started, then I'll try and make more advanced ones. But I'm just writing these pages from time to time, it's not something I'm working on with a high priority.

Other people have written good tutorials for some advanced stuff, check the Resources page.
