The OS looks like an old File Manager...

Lua / Re: Lua Routines

Simply inside of all your events, make it so once the global flag is set to a non-nil value, the event execution ends and don't allow them to be triggered by starting all code within the blocks with a "if global_flags.is_paused ~= nil" checker.  Simple as that ;)
* BrownyTCat 's head exploded.

Grayscale calc owners, place this in your on.paint(gc) loop:
Code: [Select]
function setGrey(shade)
gc:setColorRGB((shade*255)/16,(shade*255)/16,(shade*255)/16)
end
That makes it so you can set the shade of grey like so: 0=black, 8=middle, 16=white.

Lua / Re: Lua Routines

Don't use that one.  Use a custom-made implementation of this that fits your application-specific needs instead:


Code: [Select]
global_flags = {is_paused = nil}

setupBeginNoBreakPause = function(milliseconds)
   global_flags.is_paused = timer.start(milliseconds/1000)
end
   
-- all events are surrounded with a limited that doesn't allow anything to happen while the flag is set

function on.timer
   if global_flags.is_paused
      global_flags.is_paused = nil
   end

end



'(' expected near 'if'

Pause for an exact amount of time, in milliseconds

Code: [Select]
WaitMS = function(milliseconds)
   while (stime = math.abs(timer.GetMilliSecCounter()+milliseconds))<
            math.abs(timer.getMilliSecCounter()) do end
   return true
end

This gives:
')' expected near '='

Lua / An equivalent to "wait()"?
« on: June 25, 2011, 09:31:51 pm »
I've tried "timer", but all it does is screw up my redrawing. The wiki's explanation is pretty vague if it makes any sense.

Why are parents so antagonizing to their children's efforts?

I tried the latest version of the application on my Clickpad with OS3.0.2 and it was good, but the controls were very unresponsive. I'm guessing this was made on a touchpad?

It works fine on my touchpad, but it should work with the Tab Button. Maybe because it's OS 3.0.2.?
I don't think 302 should have anything to do with it.

Miscellaneous / Urban legends and myths about your area
« on: June 22, 2011, 06:28:14 pm »
You don't have to be specific about the location and I'm not going to, for example (this is a legend that exists),
The lake I'm at has a legend that sometime a few decades ago, some people (probably older teenagers 16-19) tried to make a submarine out of steel barrels and tested it and such, and it worked. They tried to navigate it to 100 feet below water to set a record of some sort and were smashed by the water pressure. (They're still there today, etc.)

Gaming Discussion / Re: Is Portal 2 too short for its cost?
« on: June 21, 2011, 05:44:56 pm »
of course you can beat the game in short time, but that won't be the first time you play...
Code: [Select]
sv_cheats 1
bind v noclip
Also, you can look for easter eggs like the turret quartet.

TI Z80 / Re: AXLE - 2011 Axe Platformer Contest

An option could be included to load custom tilemaps as data like
Code: [Select]
1,1,1
1,2,3
2,2,3
or something, and a program could be made to write the tilemaps. It's obvious and straightforward, but it works.

My friend's dad works at MS, they have Win8 prototypes.

News / Re: nDoom policy re-instated
« on: June 20, 2011, 09:16:05 pm »
Sorry if this is irrelevant but,  why is it called the nDoom policy?
Because the same policy was issued during the nDoom invasion.
the zero-tolerance policy which took the nDoom policy name after the nDoom invasion last February and March

I'll have to rebuild.

Explain the 9 years....
Gabe Newell reference, It had to be done.

Small Update!
Still no use for the cursor, not that it's a requirement right now. I guess v0.2 is up since I got enemy-caused deaths to run. Also, the deaths are all animated.
As usual, a sceenshot is attached for your viewing pleasure. Out of curiosity, are sounds running on your computer? I've tried to compress them into the EXE.

Fetch the demo here if you don't want to read this

What's coming next?
-? Blocks for sure
-Coins for sure
-Working pipes possibly
-Health with mushrooms quite possibly (this is not an "orthodox" Mario game)
-More tiles for sure
-Multiple levels definitely, at least 2 next demo.
