Nope, that’s fine :beam:
Cool new smilies 
:hangover: :chinaman:
hey…for those of you who haven’t started, ever thought of a shoot-em-up game like virtual cop? 
*probably would’ve given a shot at this battle (newbie try =) ) but haven’t been visiting the forum 
*
I’ve thought of that before… But I figured on doing soemhting a bit cooler this time…
a side scrolling fighter plane type game… Should prove to very interesting indeed…
Peace
I just wanted to get something cleared up:
We can ONLY use Flash, right? So that means no imported graphics (and so no imported graphics that have the “trace Bitmap” command applied)? No sounds either? No server-side scripting?
I would like it if we could use sounds at least. It would add another dimension. What’s the ruling on all this? If we can use some of the above, then I’d like to know soon so I know what all my options are. So far I’ve been working under the assumption that it was Flash only, but I have a feeling other people might be incorporating other stuff (stuff that I’d like to add too! :)).

Okay…
Sounds… You can use sounds thta you made using sound recorder… Yeha… I just thought of that too… Good Job… But as for importing graphics… No…
I want this to be more of a “programming” aspect… Because I know I’m not the greatest graphic artist out here… Know what I mean?
So… Flash with Sounds… There ya go… Anytype of sounds actually… it’ll make the games more ambient…
Peace
Ok, so sounds are in. Good.
I personally haven’t decided what kind of game I’m making, but I’m working on some sprites and such to see what turns up.
Would anybody like to share what kind of game they are making (I know marz is making a side-scroller R-Type kinda game)?
-Al
I think I’ll do a R-Type clone too. :sure:
This is fun :beam:
I don’t think my game will be good, but it’s taking shape…
Good to hear, pom.
So far all I have are a few prototype graphics. I still don’t know what kind of game to make. I was gonna make an R-type clone too, but there are already two of you doing it so I may do something else. We shall see, I guess…

Oups, I only just saw that. Is it a joke? Sounds made through a recorder?
And why no graphics? Are we trying to make the best possible game or not? :bad:
are the contestants already set in stone?
not yet sen, the stoning process works best during peak daylight hours, if we want them to be stoned properly, we need maximum sun. if we placed them in cement or something at night they would not be frozen enough and the process will be a waste, So to answer your question NO the contestests have NOt be set in stone yet. 
:crazy:
Ok to clear things up:
The only graphics allowed are those created in Flash, with Flash (so no imported graphics). As for sounds, you don’t have to use just your own recorded sounds. You can use any sounds/music you want. Lastly, this has to be a new project by you. In other words you can’t update or rehash or build upon something you’ve created before.
And to answer your question, Sen: I have nothing against more contestants joining. As long as the others agree (or the mod agrees), then you can join.

It has been a long time since Ive been to a good stoning
(life of brian quotes come to mind)

Best movie ever.
And Al, I’ve used bitmaps. I guess I’ll have to supress them, but I really don’t understand what you have against imported images 
You misunderstood me, pom. I have nothing against bitmaps, but when marz set all this up, he pointed out that this battle would be purely in Flash, with no imported bitmaps. I posted a question about this and he confirmed that no bitmaps are allowed. If you want to use bitmaps, I have no problem with it, but because marz didn’t want them, I put aside a game idea I had (that would absolutely require bitmaps) and I’m currently still trying to figure out what kind of game to make. 
So if the others are ok with it I, too would like to use bitmaps. I would leave it up to marz since he started this battle. If he doesn’t mind the bitmaps, I would be very happy. :trout:

Yeah, but I’m the mod here :evil: :evil:
Oh I thought Dan was moding this battle. Whatever. So bitmaps are allowed? (I need a solid answer Pom, Marz!)
-Al
Bitmaps allowed, enough said…
Hurray!
[SIZE=1]writes check to Dan[/SIZE]
So what kind of game do you want to do, Al? If it’s not too much to ask…
