Part of the menu's current music vaguely reminded me of the Jurrasic Park music at parts. I love it.

The color red is over used for the main text color. Also the link color could stand to change. That blue doesn't go very well with your theme. Image compression is advised as well. Your host isn't very fast and you can get your banner down to about 12k and your background down to about 85k without any noticable quality reduction. The white text is a bit too white. Try a really light gray color to give it some depth.It is set to 100%. Was a mystery why some of the tables weren't working right.
If you're manually coding this (which I assume you are), you need to change the main content box to height:100%. The content is spilling off the bottom of the content box.

"Metal Search" "Metal News" "Metal Blog"...are we going to make this a Batmanesque website in terms of naming things? Like we have to use the Metal Radar to track the Metal Mobile before our Metal Bomb blows up the whole city! 
Pretty good lookin' stuff save for the color issue I mentioned to you earlier.

By the way, what language is the game programmed in? Something with a "C" in it, I presume?

Did some multiplayer with Alex. My Spike was glitched on Alex's screen so he only saw Spike facing one direction. Like even if Spike was looking Ducky in the face, Ducky was seeing his tail no matter what direction Spike was facing.
EDIT: But other than that everything was fine, connection and everything worked perfect. Kudos to you for being awesome.

I would love to run a server all the time. Ideally, a game like this would work better that way. I just don't want to use that much electricity and bandwidth (not to mention, my spare computer is noisy!Haha..yeah..same reasons I didn't volunteer.
It's true though, that would be the perfect solution, then we could let everyone join the same game with a single click.

Ahh, I understand. A favorites list sounds good...unless someone can constantly keep a game going (obviously never shutting down their computer) and everyone could be together all the time if they so desired.QuoteA list of hosted games (or indication if none are being played) would be desirable.That's actually virtually impossible using the multiplayer engine that I am. The code demands entry of an IP address. The *only* way I could do something like this would be to create a 'favorites' list of everyone we know who could potentially be hosting a game and automatically attempt to connect to all of them, report back which ones connected and which ones failed, make a list and let you choose one.
While this is technically plausible, it would take 1 to 5 seconds for each connection and we would need to assemble a list of computers that could possibly be hosting a game.
In other words, we'd still be entering IP addresses, we'd just automatically be typing in the addresses one at a time from a prewritten list and recording which ones succeeded and which ones failed. This is very time-consuming for the player because if there are even 50 people on your favorites list, that's suddenly 3-5 minutes of your time to search for all the existing servers...plus the time and effort to create a list of all your 'favorite' servers.
What I do want to do is let players create a 'favorites' list so you can just click the name of your friend or something and connect that way, rather than having to type in their IP every time. I can't just create a "lobby" of all the active servers in the world though, unfortunately.

Hmm, I want to test the multiplayer, but I need to type the IP address of someone hosting a game? A list of hosted games (or indication if none are being played) would be desirable.
EDIT: Upon testing the game, playing as a Spike, when jumping while underwater and reaching the top he did not fall back down, kinda just kept going half above water until I jumped again. Could be him swimming (ignore me if it's just the absence of animation throwing me off). The ability to play the game in a window would be a good addition (if an option like that doesn't exist, maybe I'm just not seeing it).

Computer and Electronics / My attempts to make an LBT flash game
« on: August 08, 2009, 01:06:34 AM »
Thanks for the replys. The lag only starts if you make Littlefoot run all the way across the screen 3 or 4 times. I added some onto it already, but as with other flash projects the mundane process of trying to fix every bug created by ActionScript is starting to wear on me. I fear that my flash ambitions will soon be replaced by more rewarding projects.

If 13+5=23 and 1,023+417=1,445 what is 1+1?7?
Anyway, my question is...have you ever been walking on a sidewalk and started stepping on every crack, then found yourself unable to not step on every crack? Am I the only one it happens to?

Looks pretty good for just a single character in a white void. Reminds me of the Gameboy games, which actually weren't that bad. Keep up the good work!Thank you!
I think the sprites I'm using are from the first GBA game.@Alex Jumping is definitely on the to do list.

I've done video/website work in flash for a long time, and recently I've wanted to try to make a game in Flash. I've done some of the basics on other projects, but I figure a simple LBT platformer will make for a good learning basis. So here's the start of my little game (this is only a few minutes' work)...borrowed some code from an earlier script. In ActionScript 3, getting the character to move without a key delay was tough but I did eventually pull it off, only to find that there is some kind of lag that I can't immediately diagnose. Here's the link to it (if uploading a swf to the forum is somehow possible let me know! )

If anyone knows actionscript and can offer help or just has a suggestion or just wants to remind me that it's terrible, please comment!
EDIT: Goodness am I silly! Control with the arrow keys.
