[should]

This is why you should go to the zoo!

Also great impersonation videos, Eigen.

I thought only Andail or CJ could moderate the Completed Games section.. Hmm.

Excellent stuff. I really like the search window. Only thing I felt may be a little odd was that when there isn't anything by the string you're searching for, once you click ok on the popup, it closes the search. Not a big issue.

As for the annoying popup thing, it's pretty much fixed. The only issue is when you hover the mouse over the drop-down thing at the top. The one that allows you to quickly move to different functions in the script. Once you hover over that, the popup will show up and stay visible.

But it's not often that someone will hold their mouse above the drop-down without actually using the drop-down.


Also I'm not sure if this is relevant to what you've done, or perhaps AGS has always said this and I've never read it. At the bottom it says:
AutoComplete error: Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created.

No idea what it means. It doesn't say it anymore now that I've closed it and reopened it. Odd. Not sure what I would have done to have that show up.

I decided to play all the games made by Armor Games.

After playing the 3rd or 4th one, I came across this Factory Balls.



As you can see I'm only currently at level 13 and still going. It's a pretty interesting idea.

You have to paint the balls with the colors on the left, and use the items on the right, in wacky combinations, to make the required design so you won't paint over what you've already done. It's definitely a nice Christmas game, and an interesting puzzle game too.

Happy wheels is bloody fun (pun!).

That game is brilliant. lol Let's put a child on the back of a bike and have him bike around dangerous levels. Limbs flying, brains bursting, oh dear, I couldn't stop laughing. I only played 3 levels because the game had loading issues in the menu. I'll have to get back to it.

HATETRIS

The Tetris that hates you.

If I understand this game correctly, it only gives you the pieces you Don't need, correct? It was frustrating to all hell. Only got like 5 lines max.

Here's an interesting game (not much fun but interesting concept):
Mr Destiny's adventure
Let's see if you can beat my whooping 5120 points!

I was actually thinking the game was glitching due to my computer or something. Damn that's odd. Each time I play it it results in the Exact movements each time. I also think the highest my score got was also 5120.


Any other must-play flash/java games?

So far Crush the Castle is my favourite from this thread, then QWOP since I find it so entertaining trying to learn it. I can nearly have him run normally just like a human, but I can't get past 30m or so with that method. I keep trying. The leg split like Progz has shown seems to be the easiest method, just slow.

I later gained the title of "Supa [(Super)] Mike" when I threw down a dope flow in the middle of our ages of downtime..he never saw that one comin.

Ok, I live in a small town (not to mention in Canada), but what the hell is "throwing down a dope flow"? lmao

But sometimes nicknames are taken to the point where people's original names are never used anymore, how is this different?

It's worse when the nickname is something odd like Beef. I actually knew lots of people that had a nickname that were completely different from their own name and words instead of actual names.

I think it's a little weird to see a bunch of immigrants that barely speak the language having strong American names like Frank and such.

But I do understand it though. I worked with MANY Pakistan immigrants and I had a very hard time understanding how to pronounce and remember their names. This one old man actually said (in as little words as possible) "Just call me Bubba" instead of me forgetting his foreign name, which I can't remember. I believe he told me Bubba (however it was spelled) actually meant Old Man. So I felt it definitely suited him.

Well with what Jim mentioned about the light source (2nd background), the only reason I feel it looks odd is because the shadows follow perspective. For the shadows to follow perspective the sun would have to directly behind the camera. It makes things pretty boring and simple, not to mention the crazy odds considering it would have to be the perfect time of the day for the sun to cast shadows in that direction.

You also shouldn't be able to see the shadow from the center column. Nor should you see the left and right sides of it, unless those edges are on an angle.

The window itself would have to be at least 30 feet high. Also being about 3 or more feet off the ground. The background as a whole is a touch zoomed out and awkwardly shaped, to be blunt.


As for the window streaks on the last image you posted, perhaps using a gradient where you can see the streak at the bottom but not at the top. Unless you don't have gradients with any of your other backgrounds. I wouldn't want one background to have a different technique.

You could even show my non-adventure, Castle of Fire. Or not. Do as you wish.

People actually play that game? 

Haha. Thanks Matti! Crush the Castle was quite fun. Although once you get to the 2nd or 3rd level, you get the hang of when to click to release the ball. About half of the castles I destroyed with one shot (using clusters whenever they were available).

Later tonight I'll give the sequel a try.

Does this game require me to cross my eyes when playing? I am just assuming that will be a new fad soon.

If it improves your running skills, then by all means. Although I hear that crossing your eyes actually makes his running spandex appear 3D, *ahem* ladies.

How the hell did he get on the field? He's hammered!

He's definitely had one too many. Or some kind of inner ear infection.  

Christmas time is nearing. Snow is here. People crowd around their fire or plopped on their couches watching cheesy Christmas tales. Well if I have anything to say against that, I'd be saying 'that's enough of that'!

It's time to play enjoyable games. Games that keep you challenged, laughing and well fed of anger. I'm introducing you to an old classic, a classic that every man and woman, son or daughter should have played at least once in their lifetime.

The game is called: Qwop.



If any one can successfully run like a normal human being, and not someone who belongs in the handicapped olympics, I'll be completely amazed by your skill.

Play the game here: http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html
Or watch a funny video to get you pumped about playing this game.

Q & W control the thighs and O & P control the calves.

My personal best, at the moment, as you can see above, is 61.6m. Try and beat that! Once you get to the 50m mark, you'll come across hurdles. Oh boy they're fun!


Now go ignore your children, ignore the wife, don't take the dog for a walk, and play this game and play it well.


If you have any suggestions for other fun and frustrating must play flash/java games, shout them out.

Hasn't any of you acted childish ever?

Absolutely. My last post was a prime example of that.

But does he seriously need to make a completed game thread for each little test demo he makes? Really? He already made the thread talking about 3D in AGS, then he posts this in here instead of in that thread. Which would be much more suited.

And honestly, I have zero desire to cross my eyes to see something in '3D'. The red green glasses would have been much better of an idea. Shouldn't be too hard either, just don't do it with a fully graphical game. Something simple perhaps.

This was amazing best game you've made so far really keep making them I just love them I swear it I wouldn't lie to you Icey no I wouldn't especially the story wow that was fantastic really impressive piece of work deserves all the attention it should ever get maybe even get posted on gamer magazine or something damn that was a fine game the 3d was mind blowing impressive that girl was pretty hot too especially what I learned about her sister this might even be the next minecraft you might be a millionaire soon

I have a more important question..

Why is OneDollar spelling it as Tyre? Damn English.  I'm Canadian and I'm not even that bad.

Also... why does Barefoot use a BMP image for his avatar that is almost half a MB. Damn man. Think of the bandwidth and those poor chinese people that have to run that information to my computer... That is how the internet works, right?

I have this thing with my eyes, that the song double vision by foreigner sums it up.

Haha. I get that when I've been drinking a bit or if I don't wear my glasses and get tired and my eyes don't focus. Then it's hard to get them back to correct vision. Even worse when I've been drinking heavily that I often have to just close one eye just to comprehend what is going on at further distances. It's horrible.

I really need to get new glasses though. I've had them for over 5 years and they are unbelievably scratched that I only wear them for driving. I'm too cheap to go to the optometrist and get a new set of glasses. I've been thinking that I should either do laser eye surgery, or go for the glasses. And I know that once I get glasses, I won't get laser eye surgery. But laser eye surgery is expensive and I'm bloody cheap (not poor, just cheap). It's a big circle of money spending, which I haven't done yet, because I'm too cheap.

You mean running the game with the Direct3D graphics driver?
I've rotated a few dynamic sprites before and tested if they use AA with D3D vs DirectDraw. It does not, I'm afraid.

What I mean is they aren't realistic physics by any means. I faked it. There is no engine rpm speed, tire slip, side forces, etc etc.
I believe Stupot is looking for 'realistic' physics.

Nah, I completely cheated with Road Racer. Pretty much just an acceleration force and a deceleration force and rotation.

It's a freaking Gameboy, that's part of the history of hardware manufacturing when they still made stuff that lasted.

Yeah tell me about it. I've done the 3 year contract with my cell phone twice now, and BOTH times my phones haven't lasted longer than 2 years. I'll never do a 3 year contract again, it's not worth the punishment of putting up with a phone that crashes once in a while. Very annoying. I've even done a hard reset and it still has issues.

I've had it happen to the OLD black and white Gameboy over 10 years ago and the thing still works. I doubt you'll have any problem. But then again, the B&W Gameboys were the size of a large brick and probably made out of lead and other heavy stuff.
