About me

I spend my days programming machines to build and inspect circuit boards. Exciting, isn't it. Also, Juice's mom was here, and she liked it.

Yeah, there is a way to use the shapeflag to get proper hitTests. But it’s a huge pain in the ass. I honestly just want to learn AS3 which has both a bounding box hitTest function and a movieClip alpha hitTest function. Not to mention the other reasons for moving to AS3. Here’s a good article on using the shapeflag method though. http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=190163&highlight=shapeflag

Actually, I haven’t any complaints with it for DSG, but have had quite a bit for other games.

As for squares, I made it so they will now spawn off screen, so the corner trick should be taken care of.

Thanks for your help Mailes, I really appreciate it!

Lol, always happy to inspire! :P

If you need any help, or someone to test through a game, let me know. I’d be glad to help!

I actually have submitted a few things to newgrounds. I’ll probably put Deep Space Glow on there after I get all the bugs worked out. Yeah some of your work isn’t kong appropriate, but it’s still really good. I enjoyed it ;)

definately WAY too easy.... day five or so, if done right, your dog wins when 2nd is only halfway..... travel to boost stats and bet max on win, on race day - you cant loose.... need to add a 500,000 and 1,000,000 bet button.......

The only complaint i have is that the odds are TOO accurate about who will win. There has to be some random chance added in, where the dog with the worst odds wins, etc.... It's too easy to make money by betting place on the dog with the lowest odds.
