At this point, Iā€™m really starting to think you are spamming. There is no need for all of these threads anymore when you arenā€™t taking a single piece of advice from any of them. ---

I accidentally decapitated Pinador the floating-face-down dragon. ---

There is no need for all of these threads anymore when you arenā€™t taking a single piece of advice from any of them. That is a LIE. I re-created the globe from scratch based on the advice from this forum and I also changed my fonts and color combinations. If it werenā€™t for all of the negative feedback Iā€™ve received, I would have left the tacky spinning globe alone.

Yeah, this isnā€™t spam at allā€¦ Each thread is different. And if she doesnā€™t ask for critiques then you should just assume itā€™s a showcase. No need to get all uptight about it. ---

Actually if Lyraka programmed this itself (herself/himself) then itā€™s actually quite advanced, especially compared to that \*\*\*\*ing globe šŸ˜ƒ šŸ˜ƒ There looks to be a handcoded tween, some sort of flocking code where the segments target the next segment, and also a rotation function. Unless itā€™s some out of the box code, and it just added itā€™s own graphics, which is the far, far more likely scenario šŸ˜ƒ šŸ˜‰ ---

What REALLY gets to me is that people download open source classes, use them in their projects and delete all the comments in the class (including made by etc) and then re-share it. ---

I didnā€™t ask you to explain, I was more or less complaining (oh, no!) that you were creating multiple threads without taking our advice. As people have pointed out extensive turtoring is not taking peopleā€™s open source codes. And as far as I can tell looking over your site, the globe is pretty much the only thing that has changed. The colors still remain virtually untouched and the nav is still completely inconvient from a UI stand point. Not to mention a number of poor design choices (including a the pointer turning into a breathing dragon). So, I, your antagonist as you so kindly put, will explain no further why you have managed to post probably 5 or more threads basically ignoring advice. If this is just for showcase then I would say the other 5 threads were adequate enough. ---

Lyraka, looking at high end code like Sensā€™ is an invaluable learning tool, but to learn you have to study the code, not just copy and paste it. Thatā€™s pointless and goes against the whole concept of open source code. ---
