Cool game spathi, I wasn't entirely sure what to do at first though. Meaby try to make it even more self-explanatory with visuals and SFX, or include a short little description text.
Well done, I enjoyed it!

Hey that's awesome, looks really cool! Congrats!
I was asked to do a 3d character for a Funcom game once (didn't work out) and I also beta tested Anarchy Online. I stopped playing MMORPG's because I feared they would take over my life...
Are you a programmer at Funcom? I always wondered how you make sure individually written code remains consistent and works trogether in such a big project?

It thinks for a bit and then it says it isn't responding, it gives me the option to look for a solution online or to close the program.
I copied the details of the crash but it's in dutch, not sure if it's of any use.

Actually I just noticed it's my mistake, sorry.
I assumed the text ùnder the output node would change from 0 to 1 when it lighted up, but it's the letter O instead of a decimal. If this isn't some kind of naming convention in elctro or something meaby change it to something else?
Anyway the program looks good and the obvious similarity between electro circuits and programming logic wasn't so obvious to me when I first started programming. It was something of an enlightenment.

That's awesome, well done!
The output remained zero though, also when the visuals showed on.

Usually your interested in checking for a circle or square collision, so I calculate the offset of the points relative the the object origin once at the start of the program. Then you can loop through the collision points with a pixelcheck after moving the object. If the pixel color != background color you know that point is colliding with something.
For a ball/circle you can even pre-calculate the bounce angle for every point as well to save even more cpu power. Or you can use multiple points to calc the normal of the surface at collision; If you calc the angle of the outer most points that collide and then get the angle perpendicular to that one in the direction of the ball, you got the surface normal which you can use as a bounce angle.
In Flash this is a huge optimisation compared to hittest, you can do lots of collisions more acurately and much faster. Great!

C / C++ /C# / Re: C# - Getting started with graphic functions
« on: June 13, 2012 »I imagine collisions would be tricky in C# - with Flash8, you work with separate graphical objects and check for overlaps.I rarely use the hittest functions anymore after I discovered bitmaps for the image processing challenge. Checking a pixel color (to discern between background and walls/objects) is more acurate and faster too!
With C#, I'm working with 1 graphical object. I could create multiple images, and move them round dynamically (in theory, I'll have to check), but there could still be no way of checking if the images have overlapped using the built-in functions.
This leaves us with checking the sizes of the two objects being collided, and how close they are in code. It's one of the things I must learn if I am going to improve as a coder.
I'm betting C# has some sort of functions for checking a pixel color too?

General chat / Re: Programming Codea on IPAD
« on: June 11, 2012 »
Wow, that does look pretty sweet! Meaby the iPad I bought for my mom (<- cheap excuse to play around with it myself) can get me some entertainment after all.
But then I'd really need an external keyboard (if that's even possible
) and I would feel pretty lame squinting at the iPad instead of any laptop better suited to such endeavors. Still definitely going to check it out, if for nothing else then to finally play around with the accelerometers, multitouch and all that goodness. Lua looks pretty straightforward too.
Thanks for posting!
