EDIT: Nvm, there was no pic showing up so I thought it was spam.

I love it! I assume you use some formula to draw the line, right? What will this be used for?

I was having extreme problems with uploading.

When you click back after a failed upload. you can't upload the topic unless you start over.

I made the topic first so i wouldn't have to keep remaking.

It took me a while so i thought i might upload a point on a circle code.

what the guy is standing on is the tower.

for now alpha simulates an increase of your lvl.

do to issues of not being able to draw a line to back buffer.  I will have to make the game slower and in grayscale.... ;(

Nice! And if you're still working on that BASIC drawer, maybe you could actually use parametric equations (like the ones you used here) to draw the circles for that? :D

oh ya,  I should test to see if they match up,   Thanks.

I would suggest to make the tower wider, though. Also I am glad you didn't put that line about 3-5 pixels lower :P

well there was a glitch (that still exists) where when line doesn't update until you move it.  so when you moved the tower up....

You mean the line movement is like one frame later? I remember Squidgetx's Cuberunner did that in early versions and it looked kinda weird when the screen rotated.

no, i only update x and why (y ;) )  when you are pressing left or right.  So they aren't updated with z.  Ad in the game you would only go up 1 lvl at a time, it doesn't concern me.

thanks (or are you being sarcastic?) :P

No, I'm not being sarcastic (Or at least I don't think so). There's just something about that face that makes it cool. It made me think "While this guy is up on a tower, shooting things from every angle (literally), will he stare down the face of his enemy? No. Will he look at some nondescript object in the distance as he shoots that laser arm cannon thing? No. He'll mock them, insult them, not even batting an eye when foes are surrounding him from all sides of his tower and advancing with great vigor. He will destroy hundreds - no - thousands of foes without so much as a twitch on his face.

 All will be done while those eyes pierce though the calculator (and the heavens) and stare into your soul, commanding you to keep fighting, even if only to fight the inevitable, while that smirk drives you on to do so for the sake of that number. The number that will represent all he has stood for and will be left as the mark upon his world for future generations to marvel and awe at the pure tenacity given by this man. His face will become one of folk lore and legend, rallying his descendants together to fight in hopes of bestowing their comrades in arms the honor to fight alongside the face of unwavering bravery.

What this man does today on that tower will echo for generations, emboldening the courage for others to fight as he has; with that face a guide to light the way for hot-headed youngsters to strive for true strength. The world will know this man, not as the man who destroyed an exorbitant amount of foes single-handedly, but as one who has done so with the unwavering face of one who has reached nirvana, and refuses to let the world prevent him otherwise; the very epitome of a man."  :]

That's why I think that face is pretty cool.

POST = SOOOO EPIC!!! XD
And... Do I see changing speed as it goes around the circle? /me senses a sqrt(1-x^2) equation... :P
