Oh, Hello again. ....oh. TODAYS THE LAST DAY!! IM NOT GONNA HAVE A RESPONSE READY IN TIME!! SHIIIIIIII------ You can have an extension if you guys agree on it. I spoke to Des about giving him and Luzu an extension last night. Hell, we might as well all go long considering I'm not going to get my pic up for me vs Krten until later today for a grand total of 2 pics to date.

also don't forget that in n out is literally the best fast food burger your tongue will ever be graced with ...in California. Seriously the Texas ones just aren't the same. I totally forgot that grilled cheese was on the secret menu. I just always get a 2x4. Also "animal style" always sounded more like a sex thing than a way to prepare a burger to me.

Hey, what type of games are the most popular or the most fun? Shooters, turn-by-turn, platformers...? Most people play Flash games for a half hour or less, so the objective shouldn't be so much to make a big game as a game that can make an impression quickly. Also, a lot of flash games have been made; you should aim more for original ideas than making a new version of an old kind of game. That being said, there's an audience for pretty much any genre of game you would want to make if it's good.

We got a few In 'n' Outs in Texas now. I don't know if I just remember it as better or if the ones here are actually worse, but they're not as good as I remember them being from when I lived in California.

That's more of a Steak 'n' Shake. I bring this up, of course, to better acquaint you with the magic of American fast food, not to say you're doing it wrong.

IT IS FORBIDDEN. DES AND I ARE THE GAMEMASTERS OF SPB. And I guess MVG too when we get back around to that one game.I know a little unity too ^^; I WILL DESTROY YOU. I already tried the .text, and it acts undefined. I tried making the NumHigh a variable with specific parameters ex. var NumHigh:Number, but that doesn't seem to matter. It's such an easy concept and yet it doesn't want to work :/ It seems to only work when I put in inpNumHigh and inpNumLow (I changed the txt to inp for simpler reasons) without anything attached to it. Also, I'm using Math.floor now because integers truncate. lol, it just doesn't want to work for me. Guess I have to toy with it for a while. Yeah, like I said, input text boxes are one of the worst ideas ever. I don't think I've used them in years.

Geez way to pick an example that really illustrates why you never want to have the user input numerical data in a textbox. Also why typecasting is basically the devil in most cases.
Try this:
on (release) { NumHigh = txtNumHigh.text NumLow = txtNumLow.text NumRan = int((NumHigh - NumLow + 1) * Math.random() + NumLow) txtNumRan = NumRan }
Also, you should be able to avoid the int() typecast by declaring NumRan as a Number and using Math.round():
on (release) { NumHigh = txtNumHigh.text; NumLow = txtNumLow.text; var NumRan:Number; NumRan = Math.round((NumHigh - NumLow + 1) * Math.random() + NumLow); txtNumRan = NumRan; }
The semicolons are just a habit I picked up in C++. They're not necessary in AS2, but they make reading easier for me because I'm used to them.
Reason for Editing: misplaced a paren

Do you know anything about loops? Right, the newbies don't know anything about me. I'm a senior in college majoring in Computer Science. I know alllllll about loops. What specifically were you looking for?

So, I've been doodling around in Flash 8. With prior knowledge of computer programming I've been able to navigate it pretty easily. I could make almost any type of game (especially if I knew the codes required). I was wondering a few things: Are there any drawbacks to flash 8? Limitations? What's as3? Right now I'm working on a turn-by-turn game (as a test). It's easy enough, but if Flash 8 is outdated I'm gonna stop trying to learn the codes. Also, is it possible to have one of you help me do some animations if I needed it? (: IT IS FORBIDDEN. DES AND I ARE THE GAMEMASTERS OF SPB. And I guess MVG too when we get back around to that one game.Honestly, Flash 8 isn't a super big drawback for you. Many animators actually prefer the style of Flash 8 over the Adobe Flash products, though as a programmer you do lose access to AS3. ActionScript 3 was an effort on the part of Adobe to try to make programming in Flash more like programming in a real language, rather than an admittedly somewhat sloppy scripting language that was originally designed to start and stop movies and little else. Though AS2 will let you use AS1 code (which actually may have been one of the reasons AS2 needed to be redesigned), AS3 is not reverse-compatible, so you'll be using either AS2 or AS3. Now, while I readily admit that AS2 is technically inferior, I still prefer it because I have spent so much time getting to know the little quirks of it that I find it easier and I can do more with fewer lines of code. Super Morse Code RPG (yes I will shamelessly plug it everywhere) was done entirely in AS2 and I really don't think you would be able to see any real difference if I had done it in AS3 aside from the fact that it would have taken longer. tl;dr AS2 is fine, I still use it, Flash 8 is acceptable If you need coding advice feel free to ask. Like I said, I know all the weird little quirks that'll help you get things going faster.

Since Krten and I are the only two people in the losers' bracket who are still active I went ahead and threw this match in the regular round 3 board. Krten goes first.

I didn't even really make a dent; that's less than 1% of all the IP addresses in Indonesia. Fortunately, I found a list of all the IP blocks currently allocated to Indonesia. Since entering all of these would be a royal pain in the ass, I am going to have to sit back and just ban them a block at a time as a new spammer comes in from each block. I hope this will at least slow them down.

So I just banned 65536 IP addresses from Indonesia. Hopefully that will significantly reduce the rate at which these spammers appear.
A big thanks to Luzu for letting me use him as a guinea pig for this process.

Since this was the only match that didn't involve a forfeit, I went ahead and put up the poll.

I would think that PM just advances with a bye in this case but which character will Nitro be throwing in here? The same one that's currently participating in Loser's Bracket, or someone else...? We're acting like Nitro won the previous round, basically. We talked it over with PM last night before making the decision. If Jay comes back, he'll get a bye in the loser's bracket.

It's been a while since I came up with a character, so... Easiest way to describe Bouncehouse is to say she's effectively made of rubber. When something hits her body, little to no energy is absorbed, meaning that if the thing hitting her is smaller than she is, it bounces off as fast as it hit her, and if the thing hitting her is bigger, she bounces off of it. She's very hyperactive (hell, she's ten) and enjoys using her power as much as possible.
