Requesting missing keys for the mousekeyboard object - like ;',./[]\-=`

Hopefully that will be easy?

The condition "animation is finished" can't be used with the 'or' function in this example because it always gets put at the top of the list of conditions, so instead of having "is animation 1 finished or is animation 2 finished" I have to use separate events. Generally not an issue but it makes for neater code. Could 'or' be made to be able to be put anywhere in the list?

And apologies for asking, but why are some conditions always at the top again? And if 'animation is playing' isn't a top event, then why is 'animation finished'?

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 is actually quite good, and has very little setup time. However, the fact that it took until version 10 to get to the 'quite good' area should tell you something about how hard is to make. Development started in 1980, and the first commercial version showed up in 1990 for $9000, then version 1.0 of 'naturally speaking' in 1997. It took a LONG time to make. Admittedly, they were starting from basically scratch, but still.

There is another program that uses the DNS10 engine, showing that it can be 'plugged in' to something else, but it's somewhat expensive, and I doubt it's an easy task.

The point of this post - it's kind of unrealistic with the current state of tech.

I looked at the example, but it doesn't help much.

Drasa, no sweat - uni's obviously more important! No hurry either, I really appreciate that you're going to make it at all!

I'm trying to make something like a rope, but I can't get it to work.

What I want is almost exactly what drasa did is this example:

...except with fewer columns, because stuff like ropes don't need that many. Each attempt I make doesn't get anywhere. Also, if I set the distort map size on a sprite with different amounts of columns and rows (like 3 columns and 1 row) then the sprite gets mangled even without doing anything else.

I suppose this really is all because I'm running on a 600mhz p3. I like to make sure stuff can run on it, because if it can run on my machine, then it can run on pretty much anything, but realistically, most computers are way faster than mine. I was doing some complex stuff with particles - and lots and lots of them - and using the fade behavior did speed it up, but I couldn't do everything I wanted.

Again, it's not really important. Although I would really use the second suggestion, setting the max opacity to fade to very often.

I know it's doable via events - I was thinking more about ease of coding and most importantly, speed. I know the behaviors are much faster than using events, and I tend to use fade on particles, so when there are a lot of objects on screen, that's a lot of objects to cycle through each frame.

Although, I AM running on a p3 600, so I doubt many people would run into this issue anyway. It's not a necessity, just a suggestion.

Also make sure that it's using hardware acceleration (by default it's turned off). I can't remember the exact term they use for it, but I think it's somewhere in the virtual machine's preferences.

There are three more options I would like for the fade behavior:

Start at opacity

Fade to opacity - uses are better not fading all the way to 100% opacity

Finish at opacity

All settable via events. Finish at opacity is easy enough via events, so not really important, I just put it there for sake of completeness, but the other two can't be done via events. The best that can be done is if the opacity is too low/high, set it higher/lower, but that messes around with the fading in/out.

I don't know if this is feasible, but I think it would be helpful to be able bring up the intellisense menu by clicking on an attribute. Like clicking on "X" after "sprite.X". That would make it really quick and easy to select another attribute, or another variable.

I realize that it might conflict with selecting text though. My best idea is to put a colored round button underneath it with a downward facing triangle at the right, so the user could both click on the triangle to bring up the menu, and they could still click on the word to edit it via typing.

Food for thought.

Would have edited my previous post, but it won't let me. Thought I should at least try to describe it.

One thing that it does is display some of whatever was previously using motion blur. So if I run one app with motion blur, then another, the motion blurred frames from the first app that I ran show up when first running the next one.

The other thing - aside from looking blurrier than usual - is a weird 'vertical interlacing'.

Motion blur isn't working correctly on my card. Not sure how to describe what it's doing, but it worked fine on my Geforce MX420.

Current card:

NVIDIA GeForce 6200

Pixel shader: 3

Estimated VRAM: 376 MB

Motion Blur: Yes
