Oh wow, it resembles choplifter a lot! I didn't even know the game existed .

That was my favourite game on the C64

And yeah, it is a tad hard to control, it took me an hour or so before I could really start to fly around without crashing.

I think it would be a lot easier with 360 controller support though, using the trigger as thrust etc. and the stick to hover around.

I guess I just mastered it through sheer determination lol.

Helicopters are just hard to fly no matter what. I think it's rather well done myself... took a little while to get used to it, but it's quite easy once you get the hang of it.

Cool game

Reminds me of the old-school game for the C64, CHOPLIFTER.

I'd go nvidia mainly for physx support... even though I'm still a big ATI fanboy, the current cards just aren't cutting it. Also the hig end ATI cards dhurn out mega amounts of heat, so if your case isn't well designed for airflow you will more than likely get heat problems.

As far as the CPU goes, the difference will be barely noticable since the clock speed is nearly the same... you have the extra L2 cache though so if you use a lot of big apps like photoshop etc you may notice filters calculate and apply faster, but overall there won't be a huge increase there. Having said that the overclocking potential of that particular intel CPU is quite good, so if you get a decent cooler for it you could clock that puppy up to 3.0-3.2ghz pretty easily.

DS, plus, it's easy to buy a flashcart and mod it etc.

Since you're replacing the motherboard, you'll have to reactivate Windows, not reinstall it. However, I personally suggest a fresh Windows installation after major hardware changes.

This.

Windows have never been very good at major hardware shifts.

Win98 would just crash completley... XP would crash sometimes but not other times... but it would run like poo if it managed to keep it together. Vista runs like poo, and even still crashes occasionally.

Damn, I was hoping to FIND some tips here, not have to try and think of some xD

I get so busy, I have to be in the right mood to work on anything... usually it helps to get me "into" it if I have done something else creative or fun during the day. I guess that can lead to inspiration which, for me, turns into motivation... especially on the creative side of things.

Failing all that, I get really drunk and hope for the best... which usually isn't very good. xD

Hi, I'm Magnet Missile....

I'm looking forward to figuring things out, and maybe even finishing a game!

Hi and welcome to the boards!

If you need help figuring stuff out be sure to post your cap file in the HELP section, and someone will undoubtedly assist you in figuring out whatever is stopping you

~Sol

HAHAHAHAHA Totally Epic

~Sol

Yeah, we are all just messing around with you

Leave your picture, it gives us something nice to look at around this place for a change xD

You are probably the sexiest photo here apart from me of course... xD

*EDIT*

Put your photo back xD

Please

~Sol

Do you want the pieces to have physics as well?

Oops, yes... forgot to mention that part. xD

I've been messing around for awhile now, and not getting anywhere past my original idea/method... which is going to be completely infeasible if I want a polished finished product.

Also, would like to be able to "crush" objects as well.. using height and width would be fine but I think I can probably figure this one out relatively easy.

~Sol

OK now I feel like an idiot lol
