I've wrangled with this problem in the past as well. I find it's especially noticeable with a black background and trying to make trails that fade to transparent.

If it's a rounding problem, could a float with higher precision be used behind the scenes to represent the color instead, and it would only round the value when determining what color to set the pixel to, but still leave the precise float behind for any later calculations?

Why not just use the sprite font? It does exactly what you're asking for and more.

Importing via that method does in fact work. Thanks for pointing that out, Katala!

Yeah, I have to assume that the reason people keep using forum spam is it generates at least some traffic or improves their google rank through seo, also it's cheap since most of them are bots.

It's probably harder to quantify the number of users it annoys and makes decide never to do business with them because I'm not sure if I've seen any spam we've ever gotten that I would have had any interest in, and I suspect that's the case for most users here. I also wonder what the affect of people posting to their Facebook wall has.

"Hay peeps I know this forum has nothing to do with this stuff but who wants some bananas from the republic to put in yo new kitchen while wearing your ugh boots that are covered in virtual gold that makes ppl say WOW"

I mean, I dunno about anyone else, but that didn't endear me to any companies even before I became a moderator.

Tom - I'm not staying logged in on the arcade either. I click login and it takes me back to the main page as well. This means I can't delete anyone's arcade games currently.

HenerzH Tom is working on a new version of the arcade which will enable you to do so.

Btw, animated gifs can be imported without any extra work to some extent. Simply drag a gif from the windows explorer to the C2 layout. It appears as a new sprite with all the animation frames as an animation.

I understand this won't be as helpful as it could be though as it puts all the frames into a new sprite and you can't copy and paste all the frames at once from one object to another, but maybe it will save you some work on the initial import.

DUTOIT, please don't make such accusations publically, ask one of us mods first via PM if you suspect a second account is in use. He does in fact not appear to be Ashesh. Thank you for apologizing about it, regardless.

Using copyrighted graphics isn't a big deal in most cases. I, and many, many other people, started game making with them (I made a prototype of a side scrolling chrono trigger smash bros type thing). It's immoral if you charge for it, but DialgaBrite hasn't indicated as such. It's not even a lack of respect that causes people to use them - it's often because they do respect how great they are.

It is a problem when users won't make the effort to learn for themselves, but getting upset when it happens is a problem as well. Yes, it's frustrating and trying to one's patience when a user wants everything done for them. I get it. But if you don't feel like helping someone anymore, or can't keep calm about it, it's better to just stop responding. When people do things like take out their frustrations about a trend of behavior by multiple users on a single user or call people out with terms like 'thief' it just escalates things and makes everyone unhappy. It can also result in people taking out their frustrations on people who HAVE actually put in some effort. It often can make the situation worse than just leaving it alone, as in this case, scaring off a user from asking questions in the future.

This thread wasn't unreasonable. Other people have made the same request to be able to import animated gifs. As far as I know, copying and pasting animation frames between animations isn't possible and I would like that feature too. Maybe I'm wrong and there IS a way to do so because I haven't read every page of the entire manual either, because that specific feature at the time would have taken longer to look up than to just import the frame twice.

Let's all chill, okay?
