ImagesCollide gives a MAV!!?21st July 2008 Damn. That really makes me look even more stupid :( I normally do that when other people have questions... I just though there were so many collision questions out there and maybe this was a very specific issue that the more experienced here would know. W*snip* |

ImagesCollide gives a MAV!!?21st July 2008 Thanks Jay, I feel better now. Well, knowing I'm not alone anyway. It still doesn't make sense. Funnily enough, I'm trying to move away from box-like checks, trying to be more sophisticated :D [quote]Firstly, keeping the images fairly small (breaking an *snip* |

ImagesCollide gives a MAV!!?21st July 2008 Interesting. Starting fresh, I pasted the code (copied from my post here) and ran it. You say it's working, I get a MAV Point proven, it's an unfathomable glitch! Other ImagesCollide code is still working perfectly... baffling. |

ImagesCollide gives a MAV!!?21st July 2008 Yeah the handles are global and identical when I change it to LoadImage() I've stripped out a couple of functions but you can see how very basic this is... and that's what's so frustrating. Sorry, I should have have posted this before [code]Graphics 640*snip* |

ImagesCollide gives a MAV!!?21st July 2008 This feels like a very newbie question but I can't fathom it at all. Read this as one of those quirky "I'm having a bad day" problems because I can work around it but it's bugged the hell out of me for long enough :p I've used ImagesCollide a multitude of*snip* |

#160 - The Black and White Challenge21st July 2008 So it does! I had so much on the screen I didn't notice it :D I was expecting during the game so when it wasn't there I wasn't really looking at the end. My bad. |

#160 - The Black and White Challenge20th July 2008 OK, I may knock up a quick game but I'm put off by the quality already posted :D Joe... brilliantly simple but effective. What's the deal with the key, diamond and cloud? I got to the end without seeing them... then saw them as I browsed the image files *snip* |

Angles18th July 2008 You could argue that Blitz's angle range is -180 to 180. And it always catches me out :D Multiply by -1 and rotate 180 sounds really clever and I'm sure it'll be very handy to remember, thanks. Thinking about it, it's very logical but I'm not sure I'd h*snip* |

ImagesCollide vs. RectsOverlap22nd June 2008 How about ImagesOverlap rather than ImagesCollide? I imagine RectsOverlap is still going to be quicker but that can only be because you specify the sizes when you call it rather than ImagesOverlap which needs to look up the image sizes. Personally, I'd g*snip* |

Is Shareware dead?17th June 2008 It could be argued that a demo is released before the product is finished... but that would be splitting hairs. Shareware = Demo. Which came first? Yes it probably was demo. Oh and there's Adware of course that is complete but covered in adverts, especia*snip* |

#155 - The Really Hard Challenge17th June 2008 I was late starting but I'm quite happy with what I knocked up over a couple of days. It's quite tricky as it is by default but the fun starts (and coding got complicated) now that it is customisable. (Linkage) It's one of those follow-the-wire-without-*snip* |

The Darling Bro's AKA CodeMasters, get CBE.15th June 2008 The Oliver Twins are now bringing us games under the company name Blitz Games (and have been for 18 years :D ) I don't think it's the Blitz we know and love though :p |

The worlds hardest game7th June 2008 I like that. I got to level 10 as well but then I lost patience and focus. It's all about the approach. I'm sure I've struggled more with other games but I can't think what they were. |

Typing style?5th June 2008 I think I'm like Jay, learning the keyboard from entering code from magazines/books. I started very young which probably helped. I tried touch-typing a while ago but never got on with it. Probably due to 'bad habits' Most of the time I type single handed *snip* |

Number accuracy or snapping objects together29th May 2008 en.wikipedia.org It refers to the direction that a surface is facing.
