#122 - The Halloween Challenge 3
30th 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.

Here you go

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.

Alternative IDE? Protean etc
26th 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?

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]

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...

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*
