whoa! this is awsome! how you think of this stuff i will never know. but the coolest part is how it comes back on the other side!
Hehe, it’s not exactly original (aside from the bubble powered pill rocket) so I didn’t really think of it, just decided to try to figure out how to do it.
I was going to do a kind of car thing because I wanted to figure out how to do turns in Flash that were rounded off and not just sharp turns. It took me a bit to figure that out (math was never my friend 
), then after I figured that out I took it a few steps further and just kept slowly evolving it until it became what it is now.
download now .thx a lot lostinbeta 
I hope you find it useful meteor 
wow that’s really something! Cool way to use that particle script!
Now all it needs is some asteroids and some shooting! =)
Hehe, yeah, I did use my particle script from http://www.lostinbeta.com/experimental/mouseTrailer3.html , that was part of my inspiration among other things.
If you wanna make some asteroids and some shooting involved feel free, it’s open source :thumb: 
lol, i wasnt being sarcastin lost
and thor, i PMed you about the multiplayer game… let me know what do you think
Oh… well then thanks :beam: :thumb:
[thor too evaluates lost’s code…]
hm…you really love that question mark operator don’t you?
and hey, don’t let anyone say anything about how you code. if you can read it, that’s fine; everyone has their own style. also, ever thought of using the modulus operator (%), it might help clean your code up a bit 
(i’ll let you figure out where i’m talking about).
This might be very hard (and more trouble than it’s worth), but would it be possible using some of ahmed’s server stuff (like the drawing thing he just made) for 2 people at different computers to be able to fly spaceships in the same window?
Then you could make one the cop space ship and the other the robber, and when the cop hits the robber, he wins and the thing resets. That’d be fun :).
seems like pressing forward and backward at the same time helps the ozone layer. the exhaust is much less smoky!

Yeah, I got well adjusted in using the tertiary operator in Javascript and when I found out you could do that in AS I was so happy 
As far as I know it doesn’t speed up or slow down your code (I think Flash auto-converts it to a standard if/else during runtime. not sure though), so as you said, if I can read it then who cares
And I know what the modulo operator is, I can’t check out my code right now, but later I will try and find where I can optimize my code using modulo (since I am math retarded it is most likely that I won’t be able to find it, but dangit I will try!), thanks for the tip.

If you wanna try, then go for it I personally know I have no chance of getting something like that to work. Server-side Flash was never my strong point, and since I know very little PHP and nothing about mySQL, and nothing about how to have 2 people on 2 computers run this, chances of me getting that to work are slim to none.

Yeah, it is the way I have it coded, I don’t really think it is a big enough thing to have to worry about “fixing” it so I left it.
eh… eh… i played that for like 20 mins, before I realized that i might need to say good bye, and move on with my life… its hard you know… so hard to say good bye to the ones you love
lol
hehehe
Ok Thor, let me know if I am on the right track…
I changed…[AS]i>1000 ? i=0 : i++;[/AS]
To…[AS]i = (i+1)%1000;[/AS]
Close? Or no cigar?

No clue dude, theres nothing adult or ****ographic on that page. Is is just a page with my Flash movie as it would be published directly from Flash (because thats all I did, published then uploaded)
good job Ľǒŝţ, but I don’t understand the name of it
I’m guessing the word “flash” might make the filter think it’s ****ographic. But then I don’t know why kirupa’s site isn’t blocked also.
