[chat bot v.3]

Uh..

Sorry, but isn't this just an A.L.I.C.E. Chat bot, hotlinked from pandorabots.com? I mean, I asked it "Who made you?" and it told me it was an ALICEBOT. At 2kb, all you're doing is sending and retrieving the questions and answers from a website o.O

Not bad

Not bad at all, reminded me of the old Rogue Squadron game for N64. Gameplay was a little lacking, I thought, but fantastic graphics.

[DIED HARD]

Optimise?

Quite a fun game, but I think you've got the auto-graphical-degrade set a little too twitchy. My Quad Core certainly wasn't labouring at all, and it was still continuously turning off all my graphics. Can you at least have an option to override auto adjust?

[Rocket Attack]

Very stuttery

Has extremely poor frame rate, and my computer is not exactly old. PM me if you need help with optimisation of your code.

[Manga Tutorial]

Argh.

Please compress your sound files. This shouldn't be much over 1mb, 4mb for a movie this size is disgusting.

LilHabu responds:

Sorry, will do.

[Simpleton]

Nice

By programmers, for programmers, I think.. Awesome work on integrating the ragdoll engine, you did real good.

Can I ask, were you just testing for point-on-point collisions (when you run into dead zombies, etc), and resolving them like normal circle-circle collisions, or were you actually testing the constraints for collisions?

This engine looks awfully familiar..

wsp responds:

it is loosly based on the engine namzorg made, but I did do some heavy modifications to it to improve the "feel". Also I did infact memorize the code and know it off by heart now and wrote it myself :P

[SC Guitar Maniac Dx 2]

Brilliant.

I played the first one a while ago, and didn't think much of it, but this is just something else.

I think this is the best music-based flash game I've ever seen, it just plays so well, the tabbing is accurate, and feels right when you play it, especially the chords.

The only thing I can knock is the voice when you up multiplier is a little annoying because it plays over the song, but aside from that, epic.

Congratulations.

Shinki responds:

Thanks!

I realised that some people might not like the voice, you can disable it just before you press 'Ready'.

[Orbular]

Very nice.

If anything was going to revive the breakout genre, this would be it. I hope it gets frontpage.

Preloader

The preloader problem is because you have all of your library objects set to export in first frame - therefore, they have to load for the preloader to show up. The solution is to turn off 'export in first frame' in linkage, then put everything you want loaded in a hidden frame (when I say hidden, I mean the user should never see it). If you don't put everything in a hidden frame, and have export in first frame turned off, it just plain won't load at all xD

Hope this helped, this problem had me stumped for days.

Fickludd responds:

Thanks a lot for that, now it's sorted out! I thought (sp?) it was something like that but didn't know how to fix it...
