Oh look, I'm in the credits… "ShawnyBoy" lol, my old username. Custom engine looks nice! =)

Nah, Chief?

> Nope, Mohenjo I can try to be Mohenjo, if you'll accept me. Crest?

Sounds like a great idea Crest. I'm a returning Eclipse user, from ages ago lol. Eclipse was the inspiration that pushed me into the direction of computer science and game design. I missed the community and that's why I've come back, but it's like all of the people I knew have left.. So hopefully I can make new friends on here! My name is Justin btw. It's good to be back.

> Shucks, Seb Nope, a relic from the past. Marshy dearest?

> I'm kind of confused. It says extract to game folder but how does that help? Do I need to put the files in the folder I give to other people? If I do that, how does it know when to change currentversion and newversion so that next time it gets run when I update it can go to the next version not the current one? Sorry if thats confusing. It's written in the coding; when you upload a new version, the patcher will be able to detect that and change it's version.

@Rusher: > >This thread is implying the zombies we'll "face" are the same as in the movies and games. Zombies, with current technologies, simply cannot exist from a biological standpoint. It would require someone literally make a viral disease that turns dead bodies into puppets, a virus(basically DNA injector) would have to control(dead bodies decay and fall apart, I don't think it is possible). You could believe that bacteria could cause such a zombie like illness, but you would be way off. Penicillin, antibiotics, and white blood cells would/could simply stop and kill the bacteria. Only possible way I could imagine would be a parasite, which I don't believe a parasite would ever evolve to a point of where it controls it's host. All organisms live to pass there genes on, that is nature, the ability to control a host is just simply not an adaptation that would assist in the passing of genes to an offspring. /EndLogicalRant

Rum and sometimes wine. Beer is just gross.

I find this thread funny, however, I do have plans for a senerio like this. I have a bugout bag packed and ready and I have knowledge of the plants/animals/resources of Kentucky forest that I can use to help my survival; however, chances are I would die, even with these precautions, most likely by someone shooting me with a gun to take my supplies. ;)

Wow, you make it seem so easy… I'll try to take my time and re-pixel it... s:

Okay thanks, it is late so I will get some rest lol. I'll tackle this again tomorrow.

I feel it looks radically bent now… Why can't I get it right? -_- >!  EDIT: He's doing lunges when he walks left or right. (:

Still looks awful… I tried to make it... ;) >! 

@Aeri: > He's got a John Wayne stance, which makes his legs look like bendy sausages when he moves. Try and make them closer together. LMFAO, I agree, but first I really want to get somewhere with the side views, which are giving me much grief.

@kahnival: > For starters he looks smaller than your forward facing ones? > Or am I just being a moron…. Fixed, missing 1 pixel in the legs… What now? ): I keep trying to change it around, but it looks awful... This is my first time making a character sprite. I seriously have no artist ability. /:

@kahnival: > Show us what you've got so far for your side view :) Oh god, it burns my eyes… 

Having major difficulties with doing left and right views… Anyone have any tips for that? :confused:

I seriously need help with pixeling, any advice, assistance, or tutorial to help me make a human looking sprite would greatly be appreciated. >!  EDIT, moved the eyes down, but I like the pointy defined jaw look, so I didn't change it: >!  EDIT, fixed john wayne stance when walking…: >!  EDIT, where I am atm, going to bed.: >!  Any other ideas?

Posting it, but I would like if no one made fun of my horrid coding skills or my random //descriptions. p1.x){m1.left = true;} else {m1.left = false;} if(m1.x < p1.x){m1.right = true;} else {m1.right = false;} if(m1.y > p1.y){m1.up = true;} else {m1.up = false;} if(m1.y < p1.y){m1.down = true;} else {m1.down = false;} // Boundaries - Player if(p1.y = 600){p1.down = false;} if(p1.x = 900){p1.right = false;} // Boundaries - AI if(m1.y = 600){m1.down = false;} if(m1.x = 900){m1.right = false;} // Platforms - Player if(p1.x = 150 && p1.y == 300){p1.up = false;} // Platforms - AI if(m1.x = 150 && m1.y == 300){m1.up = false;} // Draws Circle if(p1.hp>0) { bufferGraphics.setColor (Color.red); bufferGraphics.fillOval (p1.x - p1.radius, p1.y - p1.radius, 2 * p1.radius, 2 * p1.radius); } if(m1.hp>0) { bufferGraphics.setColor (Color.green); bufferGraphics.fillOval (m1.x - m1.radius, m1.y - m1.radius, 2 * m1.radius, 2 * m1.radius); } // Movement - Player if(p1.left){p1.x -= p1.spd;} if(p1.right){p1.x += p1.spd;} if(p1.up){p1.y -= p1.spd;} if(p1.down){p1.y += p1.spd;} // Movement - AI if(m1.left){m1.x -= m1.spd;} if(m1.right){m1.x += m1.spd;} if(m1.up){m1.y -= m1.spd;} if(m1.down){m1.y += m1.spd;} // Special Attacks if(p1.hp>0 && p1.space){bufferGraphics.drawImage (spaceAtk, p1.x-2 * p1.radius, p1.y - 2 * p1.radius, this);} // Damage Code if(p1.hp>0 && (m1.x - m1.radius = p1.y - p1.sp1_range)){ if(p1.space){ m1.hp -= p1.sp1_dmg; } } if((m1.hp > 0) && (p1.x - p1.radius = m1.y)){ p1.hp -= 0.5; } // Fix Negative Health if(p1.hp


I've been waiting for this since like 09 or 08.. Can't wait to play… :sad:
