Great stuff..!

Note to all module authors: please add your modules to the list of modules in the wiki

Get a drawing program that has layers, like Paint.NET

Use divs and CSS instead of evil frames or tables. See ssh.me.uk for an example of a very simple layout. A decent free editor like Nvu is good for setting these up. But you can also look at mod_perl to change normal URLs into wierd scripty ones

or do

Code: ags

String monthmap[13];

function game_start() {
monthmap[1]="January";
//etc...
}

Personally, I'd go about it by asking CJ if I could borrow his PHP code from the AGS games page...

You'll need a mysql backend, I guess, too.

I'd check out Wretched's demo in the Games In Production: he's made an AGS plugin that makes 3d easy, it seems. Kinda works somthing like Moho, from what I can see...

I found some stuff on Adams' blog based on whats in his book. It also reminded me which book I need to relocate, too: http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2005/12/humor_formula.html

Awesome! Kinda similar to Moho, I guess?

Anyway, I'd love to see this. This is teh uber-great!

Or, becasue it seems to be fixed now, you could DIY at: http://www.agagames.com/agswalkthroughs/sendGame.php

Spot the difference... 

I recommend having fadeout as an array, too. Then, when you run FadeObjectOut:

Code: ags

int i=0;
while (i<10 && fadeout[i]) {
  i++;
}
if (i==10) Display("Error, reached max number of fading objects!");
// your existing code in here, with lots of "[i]" added...

and in rep_ex:

Code: ags

int i=0;
while (i<10) {
  if (fadeout[i]) {
     // your existing code in here, with lots of "[i]" added...
  }
  i++;
}

Awesome! Now, modulify it!

I'd have thought that one optimisation would be that AGS could do the rectangle check first then only do pixel-perfect if the rectangle check sees a hit...

For those of us without the time to look at the whole source, I'd love to hear an explanation of the technique you used, dkh, especially for speed optimisation.

I think by default GUIs Z value is the same as its gui number

Indeed, just becasue you look like a red-haired version of Ivanova from Babylon 5 you think you can get away with some duff comics? Actually, the penguin one and the fridge one were good, but they are generally more recognition funny than ROFL funny.

Scott Adams, Dilbert's creator has written a lot of tips about homour in his books, and he doesn't always follow his own advice, but his humour is also mainly based on familiar situations. He advises to take it one step further than just a cartoon of the situation: go an extra mile. I can't find the books just now, though... aargh untidiness!

I know what you mean, something like Windows folders where there is a preview pane as well as thumbnails...

of course you can always copy/paste into another program but thats a pain...

I'd love to see the dalek walkcycle 

You've still posted the names of 3 military personnel
and I already sent the original pic to Al-Queda anyway...

surely the DoD want to keep their technology to raise the dead and bring fictional characters to life secret, too!

put in some code to do mouse.Mode=eModeWalkto?
