  • I would also like to know this.

    Now I just use Google, and the error text, but sometimes that does not work.

  • > Would anybody be interested in making this game for me, wouldn't need to be in this platform; probably prefer if it wasn't. Just Node.JS or whatever. I'd be willing pay.

    EDIT OK, never-mind.I thought you where serious when you said "willing to pay".

    Your best bet is to go to :

    They are willing to work for almost nothing.

    They isn't worried about their age. They are having a contest and wants to know what to do to protect themselves from a legal backlash if minors do lie and enter the contest.

    Ah, ok!

    Thank you

    In this case, why not just do what Steam does and have them authenticate themselves?

    If you have to go to court, you can prove you have taken measures to insure kids dont join. The reason they joined is beyond your control. You have no control over the kids honesty.

    You might want to go and check out the disclaimers for porn sites. They are about as serious as they get as far as verifying minors. Be sure to check out their EULA's too.

    If you have them scan their photo ID, and they tamper with it, is a felony. So maybe have them scan their ID's?

    Then you have something to present in court. That would be much better than the Steam age verification.

    If you allow porn and nudity, you may need to get a special license from your state. I know in Hawaii you need a special permit to film porn, or to make adult games.

  • Thank you very much R0J0hound!

    I learn more reading your replies in the "How do I" section, than I do from reading any other source.

    It seems like every day you show us something new and magical.

    Thank you.

  • Don't tell them you are a minor.

    Something my grandfather taught me is "Just do it until someone says STOP".

    What are they going to do, ask to see your birth certificate?

    If they catch you for some reason, they may ask you to voluntarily return the prize. They will also probably strip the title from you.

    I had to quit school at 15 years old so I could help pay bills. I have lied on every single job application I have filled out. They NEVER check the records.

    I lied about my age to purchase liquor too. If I got busted, it would not be my problem. The responsibility would fall on the store for not ID-ing me properly. The police could only bust me for possession of alcohol as a minor. That is a pretty major offense. I doubt lying on a video game contest application would get you any legal repercussions.

    Even if there where legal repercussions, you are a minor, so most of them will result in a warning, or really minimal punishment.

    I am not saying it is cool to be dishonest. But in certain cases it dosent hurt anything to tell a white lie. Especially if it is going to help your career, moral, and outlook on life.

    The reason they say 18 or over is probably because there is Gore and nudity in some of the contestants games. (which is stupid, my students always have better porn links than I do, They also play the goriest games.)

    Also, dont take legal advice from the internet... this post is not legal advice.

  • If you plan on having animations in your game i highly reccomend reading over this:

    https://vk.com/doc176415392_222242886?h ... 5d2f9e012c

    It is not the animators bible like most people claim. It is a great starting point though.

    Just follow along with the theories, and you can apply them to any animation package. (blender, Spriter, Synfig)

    There are some really great little tips on how to make things "look" more cartoon-ish or realistic.

  • Use the system.Pick by evaluate.

    Then you can use the IID to pick them, and the sprite.count-1 to determine the last one.

    sprite.IID=Sprite.count-1

    that will select the last one created.

  • Blue.

    When playing Ace of Spades, Blue was almost always the master race. Blue was usually the victor over green.

    Blue > Green

  • Hey cool!

    If you are going to partition your hard disk again, maybe set aside a 2 gigabyte partition for "testing" other Linux Distros. This way you can have a working Linux, that you leave alone so you always have a working computer. And the other partition just for testing, and breaking things.

    Part of the fun is shopping around. Here is agreat site to get an overview of things:

    http://distrowatch.com/

    Notice the bar on the right, that list will show you the most popular Linux distro.

    There are thousands of ways to partition the hard disk. There are actually book written on the subject. I just do this simple Scheme:

    partion 1: Main Linux distro

    partition 2: Secondary linux distro

    partition 3: a Swap partition usually double the amount of your physical ram. This is the same thing as the windows page file.

    partition 4: your /home partition.

    The point of me showing the /home partition is a cool trick.This is where all of your allplications will store there settings. It will also have your "My documents", and all of your other user files. This will make so you can try a new distro, and not have to reset all of your Firefox bookmarks, or preferences. All of your inkscape settings will be available. On your first boot up of a new distro, you will already have your Desktop icons, and everything else.

    Here is an easy to follow guide:

    http://www.control-escape.com/linux/lx-partition.html

    The main partitions are the root partitions. aka /

    Hope that helps!

    It really is a fun way to use your computer.

    Ask anytime. I love helping new linux people <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  • You could use the path-finding. Set the target a few pixels away from the player sprite so it goes in front or behind the player.

    This will make so they will navigate around obstacle too.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • Just change the time period, the humps will stay in the same place, only spaced out.

    Are you using the sine behavior?

  • You can use 7Zip to open the capx. and unzip it to your hard drive.

    Then you can replace the missing images from one of your backups, or original files.(sometimes)

    Hope that helps.
