....?
30th January 2008

Hm, you mean like, uploading one of our projects, in its entirety, as a campfire?
Would that work?
Is campfire versatile enough?
Or should we use something like Assembla in combination with the community here?

MindStorm & PowerMousey: Wow, that space-stuff inspires me so much! (Image.gif)
I think something like that could easily become a community project.
In fact, it's a lot like Terra Colony :)

Actually, for me the ideas are the easy part..! :)

Room Type?
6th January 2008

Yeah exactly, Fred :)
For example when comparing Room_Grids with Room_Grids,
or Enemy with Enemy,
in collisions for example.
There is a variable naming standard
which uses the VARIABLE TYPE as part of the variable.
For example:

Physics!
6th January 2008

Phoenix: you could add some more elements to diversify the experience, like something with time or external influences to mess up your construction, to make it look more like a complete game.
For example: varying winds from left/right, or some 'lemmings' *snip*

Room Type?

to answer the original question:

Newr.Room_Grids = New Room_Grids

translates to:

Newr = New Room_Grids

TCP server - get client IP?
19th December 2007

Maybe your router likes to play tricks on you (Image.gif)
You could try forwarding port 80
specifically to your local machine,
to become a real server --
e.g. as if it's connected directly to the internet.
(you could also try another port ofcourse, *snip*

TCP server - get client IP?

not sure what the context is,

remote_port = TCPStreamPort( stream )

You can check if there is more data available in the stream using ReadAvail( stream ).
And you can check if the other side disconnected in the middle of a transmission using EOF( stream ).

Actually, for me, at the moment,

That stupid frontpage..

Apart from keeping each sections separated below each other,
you could also order the sections by last update.
E.g. if there's a new showcase entry,

Then if there's a new news item,
the news section moves to t*snip*

Or simply, as it is now, with the only difference of; putting Latest Showcases and Thingies of the Week all underneath each other so there's: 1. better overview and 2. more space to read the text.
E.g. the same as you had, Jayenkai, in a simple list, but *snip*

Loading/Modifying Pallettes of 256 color bitmaps
26th August 2007

If you only need to replace a few colors,
you could apply a mask to a color on the loaded image
drawn on top of a background of the new color.
I have a function for this in Blitz2D/3D,
but I think it's possible to convert it to BlitzMax.

FPS examples?

The reason is that the orientation in those vector functions is an angle of 0 means up..
So if for example EntityPitch etc.. uses angle 0 means right.. then adding 90 will offset it correctly :)
