I still haven't figured out if he's as evil as the rest, or just incompetent and spineless.'d go with "all of the above."

I think I've learned something about politicians this last year or two. If they're not malicious, they're morons, sometimes they're both. Rarely are they neither, but exceptions do exist (like the congress lady fron the SOPA votes whose name eludes me). It doesn't matter where you are, chances are you have nutbags running the country you live in.

This may or may not be an issue, but I thought it'd be a good idea to bring it up. Latelly I've noticed that even though there've been new posts made on the forum, I couldn't tell (sounds contradictory, I know). The icons would show the "no new posts" image, when there really are new posts. As said, I'm not sure if there really is a problem or if I'm mistaken, as the perceived problem doesn't seem to be consistent.

Edit: contradictionary is not a word...

Paypal has lately been tightening up their practices. The donate button is intended to be used for donations (figure that =P ), not payments. As far as I know, you're not hindered in any way to use it, but it is up to you that you use it proper. I don't know what kind of repercusions there are, but if you're using it to accept payment for products and such, you're not using it the way it's intended.

This is something I heard about this summer. I'm not entirely knowledgable about it, but I think there's reason to be cautious. Before anyone use the button I'd suggest looking into it.

I'd be cautious about using the donation button though. Paypal isn't as lenient with it as they used to be.

Happy new year!

Well, you could set the arrays manually with events. It would be tedious, but you could do it (not sure how that would affect performance though, probably badly).

From the looks of it you could instead of making a lot of layouts you could make a simple loading system for levels using arrays. Essentially have an array where you store the placement of the different objects you want to place. From the looks of it you aren't making a scrolling game so ths could probably work pretty well. It's a bit more involved than making several layouts though.

Books =)

Yeah ImpactJS has an integrated editor. It only supports tile based maps so it's the exact opposite of C2.

I looked at impactJS a while ago, seriously considering plonking down the cash for it. I looked at avideo going over how the editor works, and I got to say it looks really, really good. I would not mind some sort of crosss compatibility with it and c2 (kind of like the GM rooms thing) or just using it as a source of inspiration and innovation.

I've been wondering, from time to time people ask/talk about scripting in C2, and in general that's what the SDK is for. Couldn't you, in theory (I don't really know) make a plugin that lets you execute code from events? Sort of like what Pythin was in CC (though I never really tampered with that, so I might be a bit off-base there). Just a thought.

God Jul p� er allihop! :)

(Merry Christmas everybody!)

There seem to be trouble with jumping while moving left and jumping while moving right. It doesn't seem to be random though.

Why not just pre-upscale your graphics instead of messing around with zooming? If you want it fullscreen, the player won't notice anyway, and if they want to play windowed anyway it will be easier to see what's going on.
