@Likestodraw: > Honestly. I don't know much about how web browsers or the internet work. Fixed.

@Zesh: > So, I should have wrote an engine from scratch for my Pokemon game rather than adapting Eclipse for the project? Yea, not the best idea, especially when you have little or no programming experience like the author of the topic. You're missing my point. If you can program well enough to completely change the purpose of an engine, you may as well write your own engine. It'd be much better because it's purpose built.

@Zesh: > No, making a card game with EO is easy and you wouldn't 'half-arse' it if you knew what you were doing. If you _knew_ what you were doing you would write an engine designed for your project rather than adapt someone else's work simply because it's more convenient.

@Zesh: > Not really. I'd say that making a card game with Eclipse wouldn't be that hard but thats jus me :P That's like saying "I want a boat, so I'm turning my car in to a boat, just because it's here." Half-arsing things is how you end up with EE2.7

Looks a lot better now. There's still a swirl inside the first 'o' though. Personally, I'd remove it.

I'm going to guess there are much better programs or engines out there for making a card game than Eclipse. The amount of work editing Eclipse to handle a card game may as well be put in to creating a new engine.

I agree with Baron. Wordpress is just incredible, even if it needs one or two (albeit very simple) tweaks.

I still think there's too much going on around the 'R'.

@Awesome: > Thats what cheif was saying. I never really looked into Wordpress. Always thought of it as a blogging system. > > Anyone have any suggestions on what type of plugins to use with word press? http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/

@PhoenixWright: > Wait just wondering what if you wanna do more than one weapon can you just keep on doing it haha? Since you can update your entry twice, I suppose you could submit a whole new piece.

Made this one myself. It's alright, I guess.

So.. This kind of failed. Just going to lock it, I don't think there's even any point in having a vote.

Entries are looking amazing so far.

My life in a photograph.  From left-to-right: Irn Bru, Dairy Milk, wallet, passport, hairspray, hairbrush, straighteners, computer, walkman, mouse, deodorant. Also some change on the desk, and some games either side (bottom left and top right.)

The logo should define your company. You seem to be trying any style that you "like" instead of one that would fit your company. What does your "company" even do? Whatever it does, the logo should reflect it.

I hope I'm still alive to see my 31st birthday.

The "Play" and "highscore" could have some more contrast.

@Düsk: > Meaning no references correct? Taking inspiration is perfectly okay; just copying someone else's work is not allowed.

April Contest - Pixel Art! Some people are concerned that the [April Fool's Graphics Contest](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,79029.0.html) isn't serious enough. Some people were interested in a pixel contest; I remember that some of the best contests were the pixel art contests held by Zoso a while back. So, with that in mind, I decided to hold this contest simultaneously with the April Fool's contest. I like to think of this as the "Official Contest", since it has a more serious tone about it. The contest Pixel art weapons! This is a particular favourite of mine because every past weapon contest, there have been some extraordinary entries. This weapon can be anything you want, BUT! It has to use the colour palette provided (see the rules below). Rules - All work **MUST** be your own. You may NOT use someone else's image. - You must **NOT** copy someone else's idea. - Once you have submitted your entry, you may edit that image **UP TO TWO TIMES**. You must also keep the previous versions uploaded. - You upload your submission to **THIS THREAD**. - The colour palette to use is:  (This palette was found on [this forum](http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299&PID=139392#139392). I did not create it.) - It must not be larger than **64px _x_ 64px** Deadline The **24th of April**. This means 3 weeks in to April. This is to allow time for lots of entries and not to intrude on the other contest. After this deadline, this topic will be locked and a new "voting" topic will be made in which all of the entries are displayed and people will be able to vote, via a poll. If anyone has any question or suggestions, feel free to ask! Good luck! **Note**: _Don't worry, I'm not going to be holding any more contests this month. I am thinking of holding contests once a month from now on, varying each month. Next month, I was thinking of a writing or music contest, however, I'm open to suggestions._

Human Centipede was shit. It wasn't even as disguisting as it was made out to be. It was like a shitty gore-horror film without the actual gore.

@Toshiro: > I thought that was the direction the contest are aiming for, originally. Seems it went the wrong direction though. Someone suggested an april fools contest, I immediately thought of funny pictures. In the future, I was hoping to have pixel contests, music contests, writing contests, etc… I figured this current contest would be really easy for _everyone_ to get involved. I'm hoping this will lead to more people participating in the future. That was the problem with the contests before. They kind of just quietly died off because there were hardly ever any entries.

Why the hell do you need another 11+ people to help with a game?

It'd help if people knew what you were selling. Someone might come along and have a black, red, fire-esque sign suitable for a death-metal band when you sell flowery paintings. Just sayin'.

@Esmeyana: > What will the winner get? Eternal glory. Asides from that, there's nothing I can really give. The point of these contests isn't winning things, it's about taking part & improving your skills.

Thanks, Gwen. (:
