[Gone Boat Fishin']

Hi,

I introduce: Gone Boat Fishin'

At the requests and constant nagging from my eldest son I have created a boat fishing game which runs with my series of Gone Fishin'...

Options include:

• Three UK locations: Deal, Dover and Folkestone
• Choice of Lines, Hooks, Depths, Baits etc
• Choice of anglers (two of my sons )
• Choice of three boats (named after my granddaughter's name)
• Normal day
• Rainy day
• Snowy day
• Night fishing
• Tons of fish available to catch including a monster fish!
• Angling Times certificate with your name on it if you catch a record fish
• Music (my sons own track)

Watch out for stealing seals, gulls and dolphins

All fish caught are returned unharmed back into the sea.

Expected release: End of August.

Splash screen


Choosing the right options can catch you many fish of which there are many species out there to be caught


You can keep up-to-date with your catch


Tips are provided to give you an edge to catch fish


Wow... your reel is screaming!


Strike quickly or you may lose the fish!


Proudly presenting a well caught Conger eel

Hi

I am using the Sierra speech option with portrait.

I can change the players' views (all views) with a button. This works except that at times after the player view speaks the previous view also speaks which of course is a different view of images and then returns to set view

I have since taken off all references to this for the moment.

Hi

ags 3.4.0.9

Can someone tell me the best way to organize the editors floating property windows.

cheers

Hi,

ags 3.4.0

Sometimes it seems that some functions don't run the variable events though mostly they do which i find odd.

The variable 'Weight' does not always get updated on the LWeight label. Everything else seems to work OK.

For anyone who has the time to check over my code and check for any loopholes and can advice that would be great.

I hope you can understand. I will try to elaborate a bit more.

Fish collides with Rod, if conditions approve then Cod_Bass_Skate() runs and assigns a graphic to objectX. This graphic will determine the type of fish and also what weight which is determine by the int selection of the fish,. Example: Cod_Weight()
and so forth...This Weight gets added to the LWeight label.

Thank you.

[Quest for Ekoban]

Quest for Ekoban stars Reef Rivers in his first archaeological adventure.

The first screen tells it all as you fly off to Peru in search of the Ekoban Talisman stolen from the Mayan's by the Spanish conquistador's as they began their invasion of the Americas.

Meet Mayan Chief Acobat, Ahau Chamahez the Mayan god of medicine and health, Ethena the princess mermaid and others. Overcome the obstacles that hinder you. Temperature and dehydration can set you back as you begin your journey across the unforgiving barren
plains.

Will you be able to find and return the Ekoban Talisman back to the Mayan people?

You are Reef Rivers from the Bridestone University of Archaeology in London, England.

[---------------Entry for June's MAG--------------]

---------------Entry for June's MAG--------------

Blackudder: To doubloon or not to doubloon

My entry for June's MAG is a parady based on fact of an era when Queen Elizabeth I commissioned Sir Francis Drake to plunder the sunken or destroyed Spanish galleons in the West Indies (Carribean) and bring their treasures back to England.

Of course this is just the background setting for the story and it did not anticipate that one such person, namely Edmund Blackudder would become involved with the plundering of these sunken galleons.

With her majesty's birthday only 8 months away and Blackudder being skint, he needs a cunning plan that's cunning else he will get the 'chop'!

Blackudder overhears Sir Francis Drake blabbing on about plundering treasure from the Spanish galleons in the West Indies.

Blackudder decides to beat Drake to the West Indies and pinch some of the Spanish treasures for himself therby affording the Queen a birthday present and will assure him a place in her affections. He also hopes she will make him a Lord (he already presumes the title of Lord)....and above all: spare him the 'chop'!

Of course things do not start according to plan when Baldick (Blackudders' put-upon sidekick) tells Blackudder that his boat has been repossessed!

Follow Blackudders' exploits on the high seas.

Catchy parady song to sing along to with a twist of fate...

Hi

after 8 years absence from playing in bands (after 35 straight years) i have dusted down my Fender Squire and begun practicing.

Over the past two weeks i am just managing to get my rhythm going and my fret hand moving to the right places .

I have even managed to write 5 original songs this afternoon that have potential if not a little passe.

I would like to gig again only not so stressful as it once was and without all the in-fighting

I have no illusions and know i can't leap about half naked as i used to but that's ok.

my left ear has diminished about 30% apart from everything else.

At nearly 61... should i even think about it?    My heart says yes..

In my heyday:


My next to last gig (very ill at this point)

Jumpin' Jack: the bean powered kid

Short game with 3 scenarios to deal with... humorous and at times sad... very stonesy' and contains some bodily function humour (as per topic insinuated).

This is my first game ever using 320 x 200. Please, if you come across any issues let me know.

Jumpin' Jack the bean powered kid is a kind of fairytale meets superhero.

After the boat that Jack (real name Woody) and his parents were on hits underwater rocks their boat sinks and Jack gets washed up on the shores of a cornish village. Jacks' parents are never found and pronounced dead.

Gramelda, the villiage witch, takes Jack into the Blackstock family and raises him as their own teaching him the black magic spells of the Blackstocks' legacy.

Jack is not cut out for all this evil black magic as he dreams of becoming a superhero like superman and batman.

Jacks' stepmother makes Jack a costume not realising Jacks' good intentions and when she realises that her Jack is going around doing good deeds it angers her to a point where she tells him to leave home until he cames to his senses and became a full blooded Blackstock black magic wizard.

With this, Jack leaves home with only his hero costume and a few encharted beans and continues his quest to become a super hero helping anyone who needs help and dismissing violence.

Then he comes across Buddy Love the school bully who thinks himself as a Ronnie Kray!

Without violence how can Jack do good over evil and will his stepmother Gramelda ever take Jack back into the Blackstock family?
