You should contact the company and find out what the problem is. It might be a conflict with Windows XP, I have heard a few things about that happening. If that is the case, you should contact the company and find out what to do. Well with some numbers it makes it go off screen and when you click it never shows up again. You can use if statements like if (speed == 0){ speed = 1; } ---

LOL, don’t worry. We won’t ban you, just letting you know. Naliwarcows had a similar problem a few days ago, with a different game though, but he just lost his cd key. We gave him the same advice. ---

We will see when done… right now I have just figured out a relatively easy way to get the angles down… so maybe I will try to do something a little more intense before I send it in… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

Cool. Those angles are a pain! Ok, here is what I have now. I added some furniture so it didn’t look like I was poor and could only afford one sofa :-\ :beam: Well I cant even afford one sofa now, but this is supposed to be my fake apartment, so here it goes… ![](http://8ballcreations.com/lostinbeta/images/lostinbeta_apartment_2.gif) ---

I just opened up Photoshop… zoomed in all the way… and started coloring. The end result is what you see in this thread. This is the first pixel art thing I did, and I didn’t follow a tutorial or anything. The process is going very slow because I have to keep guessing and checking my line angles and such…lol. ---

Ok, I resized my carpet to fill the room better. Boy did this take forever. For some reason the colors just were not working out. I have no clue why but I would just be coloring and it would go for dark blue to bright sky blue… out of nowhere… so I had to readjust the color for that area to get it right. ARGH. Well, to compensate for the carpet, I gave myself a large flat screen tv :evil: I also did I few very minor adjustments here and there. It is done on a pixel level, so they probably aren’t noticeable…lol. Well here it is so far… ![](http://www.8ballcreations.com/lostinbeta/images/lostinbeta_apartment_3.gif) I think I will get started on the second floor now. And in the end I will put people in the windows on the right side on the bottom floor. ---
