#122 - The Halloween Challenge 330th October 2007 Just like to say that I have a game but I'm just in the final test stages before publishing it. I don't want to give you a game than falls apart! :D Just a few tweeking minutes should do it. Sorry about that. |

Family fortunes - type of bean?28th October 2007 Here you go LINK (flv file straight from my cache, well I re-named it) 9.84MB For some reason the clip's aspect ratio is all out of wack but if you can force it to 4:3 it's fine. It's a classic answer, I'm sure I've heard it before but the whole treatme*snip* |

Alternative IDE? Protean etc26th October 2007 Yeah, I'm quite liking IDEal. Not really using the bits at the side just yet but everything else is working out nicely for me. Liking the collapsible blocks and the ability to comment/un-comment blocks of code, oh and the level of control over the colours *snip* |

Mouse coords in a larger than screen world?20th October 2007 If you take out the scroll variables from this part of the move_tail() function [code]nodes_x(0) = nodes_x(0)+(( (MouseX()+ -scroll_x)*10)-nodes_x(0))/16 nodes_y(0) = nodes_y(0)+(( (MouseY()+ -scroll_y)*10)-nodes_y(0))/16[/code] The string sticks to *snip* |

Mouse coords in a larger than screen world?19th October 2007 Sorry Spinal I seem to have tied myself in knots. I think I've ended up defeating the object! It should be a simple displacement but I think you might need a separate variable to offset after your calculations. Calculate your new position to chase the po*snip* |

Mouse coords in a larger than screen world?19th October 2007 OK, I see it. I take it you need it to relate to background otherwise you could just use the normal MouseX() and MouseY() I'll have to drill right into the workings but it's got to be a maths problem so I should get there... |

Mouse coords in a larger than screen world?19th October 2007 Er... you've lost me ever so slightly. I don't mean to be rude but what are you trying to do? I'm guessing it's to do with the blue dot/square? Where is it supposed to be? At the moment it's half way between the string and the mouse but I've not dug deep*snip* |

#120 - The Slots Challenge16th October 2007 Thanks. The bump kind of happened by accident but like the reel thing it's just the reels slotting into the centre position :) I may have missed out on the workshop deadline but I'm determined to actually finish this one :D As you can see, it's basically*snip* |

If... And...And... Or... logic16th October 2007 Sorry, I forgot to say thank you for trying to help. I've now implemented the last idea but it seems there is a problem elsewhere in my code so although it achieves the required logic, it still doesn't work! :( |

Alternative IDE? Protean etc10th October 2007 Yep it was you :D So anyway, I installed the .Net Framework because I also needed it for another application. Protean looks to be quite a big step from the default IDE, which I expected but I'm sure it will all fall into place soon enough. One problem I *snip* |

WM001 - The Pickups10th October 2007 You know what? I honestly thought this one ended last night! I may still have something to enter but I'll be honest, it's not likely. I'm completely shattered at the moment and my brothers bringing his family down for the weekend. Mind you, he may be up *snip* |

Alternative IDE?
