Slime Salad

I'm stumped. I assume I need to guess the computer's password, but I haven't got any ideas.

I'm not entirely sure that's accurate, James. I know when I make compilation CDs via iTunes, the tracks are tagged using the ID3 tags such that my home stereo can tell me the name/artist combo for the currently playing track. I'm pretty sure at least some of the information can be embedded into the...

I have to ask... Where did these numbers come from? Elemental weakness doubling damage makes sense, but elemental strength reduces damage to 12%? And why not have enemy type weakness do double damage? Why 1.8 times the damage? It just seems so arbitrary, and it piques my curiosity. I pulled those n...

EDIT: I think the following is approximately how it works but I am not entirely sure You need to get your CD's unique ID listed in whichever public CD database that Windows Media Player consults. I think this database is maintained by Microsoft, and I don't know if there is any way to get your stuf...

What did the problem turn out to be?

By the way, that "avoid warning" hack is not needed unless you are using a rather old version of hspeak.

Here is the attack: God's Hand Damage = amount of HP lost Pure Damage Lost Health 0% extra damage does not randomize I don't think this attack is working as intended as it doesn't seem to cause any damage at all. The attack has a "holy damage" bitsets, and causes insane amounts of damage ...

So, no music plays? And this happens after you get the play again problem, which is solved after waiting for a few minutes?

No music-- although I assumed that was because of a totally unrelated system-wide sound card failure that I have been experiencing for about 2 days now.

Testing using Flash 9.0 r124 on Firefox 3 on Ubuntu Linux I had the same "Play Again?" problem. I notice that the only part of "Play Again?" that is actually clickable is the dot under the question mark. I can move and jump, and my score counts up, but nothing else seems to happen.

Well, I have had this thing happen once before, and it didn't kill my game. I had pressed ESC when it did happen the first time. But the second time I had held the Enter key and forgot about that (dispite it saying press ESC). So yeah, anything besides ESC when that happens is an instant kill for y...

I have been using Firefox 3 for a couple months (since it was in beta) I haven't noticed any serious differences other than the awesomebard, which annoyed the heck out of me for about 2 days-- until I got used to it,and now I love it and miss it whenever I am using a computer with an older Firefox. ...

In other words, "throw a bunch of numbers together and mod them to the values I want." Voila! I have rooms that look the same when I leave and come back. It's the best of determinism and randomness, together at last. It can create some interesting patterns, too. Interesting! I was expecti...

I'll put up a tech demo shortly of the maze generation and traversal scripts, which I am pretty proud of. I'll be able to store the entire game's dungeons into a very small number of globals because room layouts are pseudorandomly generated on the fly instead of being stored. I could technobabble a...
