Funny one Darius Poyer 

Well, you pulled out a very nice one Nicky.
Is that skull on the gun a hunting troffee? 

Happy bd Tabata

In game design, would it be safe to assume that everybody nowadays has a scroll wheel on their mouse?

If you also count laptops: no.
If you don't count laptops: sort off.

I really need a hint I think....

[rocket launcher]

Warmonger: Damn it, Fred, you always amaze me!
Scientist: Well, you asked for the most deadly weapon of all time.
Warmonger: And you made it. Its sight along will crush my enemies!
Scientist: Ah, it was nothing. A simple rocket launcher modified to fire switchblades instead...
Other Scientist: Training the ninja penguins was hard, though.
Warmonger: Still. Sliced, exploded, and savaged by an angry bird. What a way to go!

Funny thing, the game 'Batman Returns' (DOS, 1992) also contains a loyal army of missle-packing Penguin Commandos lead by Oswald Cobblepot, known as The Penguin.
Although they're not ninja penguins...  


1 day left before the deadline. Any more entries?
And NickyNyce...  ...where's yours? You promised...  :'(

District 9?

Need second screeneth master

Ow, didn't knew that. Thanx for the head-up monkey.

Found it already but thanx anyway for the quick reply Wyz 

I wanted to have the countdown (counting from 01:59 to 00:00) displayed in a label in a gui. So far I've got this:

Code: ags

// main global script file
int countdown;


function repeatedly_execute() {
if (countdown==0){
  countdown = -1; 
}}
export countdown;


function repeatedly_execute_always() {
if (countdown > 0) {
countdown--;
String buffer;
int mins = ((countdown / GetGameSpeed()) / 60) % 60;
int secs = (countdown / GetGameSpeed()) % 60;
Ltime.Text=String.Format(buffer, "%02d:%02d", mins, secs);
}}

Code: ags

// room script file
import int countdown;
//int countdown;
//bool countingDown;

function room_FirstLoad()
{
countdown=4800;//length in seconds*40
}

When running the testgame I got an error:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Error running function 'repeatedly_execute_always':
Error: Null string referenced
---------------------------------------------------------------



EDIT:
Found it.
Removed "String buffer;" and "buffer" in "Ltime.Text=String.Format(buffer, "%02d:%02d", mins, secs);".

Sorry...It was to early in the morning for me to think clear I guess

Looks quite cool, especially the 2 night screens on your site.

Chapter two! 

The butterfly with-the-itchy-fingers-stain-effect?

Of course if you get killed in the first room, expect to see nothing at all!;)

Not even a gruesome deadscene? 

I still have to start playing all the OROW entries.

A platformer? Yeeha! I LOVE platformers!

Bis!

It should be the same, but this version might fit a bit better.
Edit:
Ooops - sorry, too late!

hehheh.
By the way, you probably already know but the movie is know as "agatha christie's and then there were none"AND as "agatha christie's ten little indians".

Next time I'll choose something less obscure, I promise, really...

You mean this film?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061075/

Why that's a total obscurity with no recognizable names apart for the original novel's author. What is so special about that cat scene that made you choose it?

Yes, that's the movie...
It is a total obscurity indeed, but there have been posted more obscure titles since this 'game' started. And the novel's author was one of the hint's I gave.

The cat scene: there's not much special about it. But If I should have shown the '10 little indians' as screeny, the title should have been a giveaway... So I choose a screeny I just simply like. It didn't give away anything unless you have seen the movie  

Now cheer up Ascovel  


@Jay:
Sorry but no, that's the 1945 version, I posted a screenshot from the 1965 version.
I thought the 1954 version would be way to obscure. And it  would have turn Ascovel really mad 

End of chapter? :o

:'(

Correct.

853 x 480 is one of the resolutions that now has been added to the NVIDIA setting panel thanx to the driver update. After that the game ran properly. So this graphic card (nvidia Geforce GT 220), which is from November 2009, did support this resolution.

If all fails, I guess the only solution is buying a new-enough card (like => 2010)...
