I like the graphic equaliser and the isometric viewpoint. You must have worked hard on this. :D

That's really great Padman. Reminds me of Minecraft for some reason, I think it's the isometric graphics style. Music is lovely too, Happy Christmas :)

Great Padman!!! really cool! I will show it to my daughter as soon as she will be there :D

Thanx for this intro!

Ho ho ho and cheers guys!  :)

But I want to point out that all credit for the animation must go to a guy called gunstar red (as stated in the scroller), who is obviously a gifted pixel artist unlike me. The only credit I might deserve is for my awesome google skills to find such stuff and the ability to understand my own spaghetti code to quickly copy&paste xmas intros together from all the crap I did over the last couple of years...  ;)

Thanks guys!  :)

And well, this was put together in a hurry, so I'm not wondering that it crashes here and there. Maybe I'll release a 400MB patch which fixes all the bugs around Easter...  ;D

@ benny: I got an easy solution for that already. DON'T click on it!  :whisper:  ;)


[Edit] I forgot to answer this earlier:

Maybe Santa smoked a little doobie before decorating the tree. But that's just a random guess... :santa:

Haha, he must've come by our house. It's really too bad we're all out of working cameras, otherwise I'd have posted a detail shot of our tree, all kinds of consumable goodness hanging in there!  ;D

I'm at family now, but meaby near the end of the month I'll manage to snap a pic with something or another.

I get the same thing, win7 x64 here too. Also doesn't have a taskbar icon, not sure if that's intentional?
Title: Re: [XMAS 2011] Santatro
Post by: padman on December 22, 2011
@ Kirl:  Haha I'm looking forward to that!

@ Moroboshisan: Thanks mate!  ;)

@ Raizor: Fullscreen works fine on my Win7 x64 Laptop with Radeon gfx. I assume it's some driver/gfx card issue. It crashes when clicked on here too, on XP ALL works fine. And there's no taskbar icon because it's a tool window. It's not supposed to be movable or anythig because these events aren't handled. So yeah I made it a tool window on purpose...  But my intentions were good. ;)

In general. Stop complaining about your buggy Xmas gift kids or daddy just might delete this topic!!  :whack: ;D
