Slime Salad

I could never figure out how to set parents in the slice editor. Now I know! That will be incredibly helpful in the future. Thank you, I will fix this. EDIT: I want to set the numbers as parents because the number of digits will potentially change as the players HP increases or decreases. I assumed...

This question comes up quite a lot! We should definitely put up an FAQ page, and maybe think about how we can make things easier. With git, it's possible to specify special diff or merge tools for certain files, so I've set mine up to display RELOAD (one of the file formats we use) files as human re...

To the Script dump!

I'm going to grab this opportune moment and drop out of the contest as well. I have a deadline in a week which I certainly won't make, and this stay-up-all-night routine is killing me. So I'm going to take eight weeks off to recover. I really hope they don't give me an extension. Oh, and I was never...

I had a brief look. The battle system is a cool project. Why are you triyng to parent the text slices to one another? Is it get them to appear end-to-end? (Assume you just haven't set the anchor positions yet in the slice editor.) That will work, If you want to do that, just set up the parenting in ...

I don't understand why pressing enter here would be a problem, but maybe it was because there was more to the script. If you have problems with things double triggering it is almost certainly because you are using "keyispressed(key:enter)" when you should be using "keyval(key:enter) >...

It's pretty much intended that you learn about slices by playing around with them in the editor. However the editor could be a lot more user friendly. Regarding Willy's original question, the script that you posted was wrong. "top menu" returns a menu handle, not a menu ID number. Those ar...

GNOME 2 must be nice and fast. Just like Win XP on modern hardware is so amazingly fast, it almost makes up for being over a decade old.

Zorin actually seems quite nice. Having a premium version is both a positive and negative.

Are you saying that when the overlay is hidden that it's no longer possible to push the buttons?

Anyway an exception could be made when there is a script command waiting for key input. Though obviously this doesn't handle onkeypress scritps and keyispressed.

Those sprites are very impressive. But honestly I had to zoom in to find the moustache.

Cap'n Crunch have never sued Cap'n Crunch for use of the name, so you will be alright. Controls don't vanish automatically when custscenes happen, but in all the games I have played on android so far, that has not been a problem. So we still don't have a script command for that? I still think the on...

That's right, text slices and strings are completely different objects. To set the text of a textslice, you use the set slice text command, after filing a string with the content you want. For example: $0 = "Uglar" set slice text(lookup slice(sli:enemy1,col)...

OK, well, glad to have some pressure, I guess.

The other day a feature which I estimated at 5 minutes took me about 3 hours. So I don't believe my own numbers. But I have already done a significant part.

Yes, I really would like to add parameters to several of them. There are just so many arbitrary choices in the animations.

I like the palette and low-contrast, soft floor tiles. I think that's going to loop really nice. --- Ah, I forgot about all of those games. I guess there are also a few others that did decently at creating a spooky atmosphere, like Pitch Black 1/2 and Project `C'. EDIT: And ESPECIALLY Vampire's Curs...
