Also, the republicans are going to have a field day with this... They'll say.. pakistan cooperated...

Fox News last night was already trying to spin the focus back on Pakistan, questioning how and why Bin Laden was in a custom-made bunker in the middle of an urban area. How could he be there without their knowledge or consent, etc. etc. If Pakistan was knowingly aiding him then they got a lotta splainin to do!

As for the "who cares" thing, personally I don't feel too strongly one way or the other about it. Bin Laden hasn't been any sort of real threat for almost ten years now. I can see how it's a big deal to a lot of people though. I'd rather see him captured and imprisoned for life instead of martyred, but whatever. It doesn't really change anything as far as what we're doing in the middle east. In fact, it's probably just going to make it an even stickier situation for a while.

I will say that Obama probably just got himself re-elected though.

Oh, also one interesting thing. This all took place exactly eight years, to the day, after this:

Okay, apparently it was in Pakistan, with the aid and consent of the Pakistani government. That's good, at least it wasn't some black ops Apocalypse Now type thing. And hey, maybe this will help ease relations with Pakistan.

Also, there are fireworks going off all over my neighborhood.

Best jokes I've seen so far:

[quote:38siiy2l]Donald Trump is already demanding to see the long form death certificate.

Breaking News: Peter Murphy is preparing to make a "major announcement" about Bela Lugosi.

...apparently there is no such thing as "too soon" on twitter

Okay, now there's conflicting reports saying that it may have actually been in Pakistan, where US troops aren't supposed to be...

Special news report on right now, he was apparently shot in the head by US troops in Afghanistan. President Obama is making a speech about it any moment.

Voted option 2, but I've never been too into multiplayer stuff so I'm not the best person to ask. I know there is a desire for it though, and it would definitely be a welcome addition that should have been made long ago.

I will never understand how people can make their games look so damn pretty when they only have 24 hours to make the entire game.

From the wiki:

FormatDecimal(number, N)

Returns a string with number given to N decimal places, eg. FormatDecimal(5.7777, 2) gives 5.78

So it would be FormatDecimal(global('Score Level 1'), 2)

Just to clarify, the Trigger Once condition works in conjunction with other conditions in the event. If they are all true, then Trigger Once will allow the actions to take place during that tick. After that tick, if the other conditions remain true, Trigger Once will not allow the actions to take place.

Trigger Once resets when one or more of the other conditions in your event becomes false, so next time they are all true it will trigger again.

Using a Trigger Once all on it's own as a condition is basically the same as using a Start Of Layout condition... it will trigger on the first tick, and then never again after that.

You might want to get in touch with Candescence. He's been working on and off on a Sonic engine for a while now, and probably has more practical knowledge of that sort of stuff than anyone else around here.

His profile:

its 3d shapes sorted in with the sprites

Oh, those are 3d boxes and stuff? Okay then . At first glance I thought it was all pixel art, I was fooled by the pixelly edges.

Oh, that... yes that is in the changelog. I'm not sure how that would help, but I'm a bit lost in this thread

As for what orthogonal view does, it is still a 3d view, it's just that all perspective information is reduced to a 2d plane, so far away objects appear at the same size as their close-up counterparts.

And yes, that three-quarter isometric style is a type of orthogonal view, but since Quazi is faking the 3d space by doing his own depth sorting on 2d sprites then, again, I'm not sure if or how an orthogonal camera would help.
