Apparently, Number is significantly faster than int for most operations, including multiplication and division. It makes sense, because ActionScript gives a floating point result for integer division. Integers seem to be around mostly for iterating and saving memory.

That article is 4 years old, I think Adobe may have sped ints up in Flash Player 10.

I agree with jon that you shouldn’t use displayobjects as the parameters, it’s much more flexible if you use Rectangle instead.

Topic: Kongregate / Full Chat: Another boringly named greasemonkey script from SavageWolf! !UPDATED! After an agonising few minutes, this script is no longer made by SavageWolf, it seems to now have been "adopted" by Ventero, who has improved it! Also, a rant or troll post

What a bad sport.

Here’s a mirror for the script if anyone still wants it: http://kongregate.pastebin.com/dy5CkjGQ

Ahhhhhhrhrrgggggggrh you’re one of those people that says “I could care less” instead of “I couldn’t care less”. Now I really want to Falcon punch you in the face.

Can i just change this line:

@include        http://www.kongregate.com/games/SavageWolf/cha*

and go to other games instead?

Topic: Game Programming / abstract base classes

Wouldn’t throwing an error in the constructor of the class mean I couldn’t make any subclasses of it?

Topic: Game Programming / abstract base classes

Shame. I guess I’ll just have to trust myself not to accidentally instantiate them then.

Topic: Game Programming / abstract base classes

In ActionScript 3 is there anyway I can define an un-instantiatable base class for something?

Topic: Game Programming / action script

You might find it harder to adapt to FlashDevelop if you start using Flash first.

Topic: Game Programming / Wow...is it really THAT bad?

Your game is incrediably monotomous. The first three levels consisted of me holding my mouse in exactly the same position and clicking at a near constant rate. The fourth level I got bored and put the spawn rate all the way up until I got overpowered. There needs to be something else to do, maybe put the character in the middle and have zombies come from both sides so you have to keep turning round. Or allow the player to build a barrier that they have to keep fixing. Something to add a bit of variety. You should vary the zombies more as well, some that have a different weak spot or need a special weapon to be taken down so you have to keep swapping guns.
After that you should go with the graphical improvements others have mentioned. The art looks weirdly dated at the moment, like a 2000 – 2003 era Flash game.

Reiterating, what Crypto, said, call a mod, or report him/her.

Topic: Kongregate / Multiple Accounts

Multiple accounts are allowed, just don’t annoy others with them.
I myself have … some :P

Topic: Game Programming / {AS3, solved} Text or Bitmap?

Change:

private var IMG = Bitmap(loader.content);

to just:

private var IMG:Bitmap;

I didn’t say that, did I?

And you’ve still not said you wouldn’t.

Topic: Kongregate / The new "Games Spotlight" under "Recommended Games"

I don’t see why they had to reduce the recommended games list to do that though. Seems like there’s room for both.

Personally? When it is born

You’d allow abortion right up until it was born then?

Topic: Serious Discussion / 45 Million

When it can survive on its own, without the mother’s help.

No baby can survive on its own, without the mother’s help. You’re saying a mother should be able to abort the child any time before it’s 5th birthday?

Topic: Serious Discussion / 45 Million

A fetus is not a baby.

At what point do you think it does become a baby then? How late in the pregnancy would you allow an abortion?

Topic: Kongregate / ...so apperantly kongregate is going through an indefinite beta?

And to be out of beta it has to be done, and no updates ever added, so technically, everything is a beta.

No, to be out of beta it has to be in a stable releasable state, it doesn’t mean it can’t have anymore updates added to it. I think that really Kongregate’s been out of beta for a while now, but it doesn’t look like they’ll remove the little sign anytime soon.

That seemed like a valid answer to me. Which part don’t you understand?

Topic: Kongregate / Suggestions

Huge difference.

I don’t see the difference. If you think we should judge people by their maturity rather than age why not allow 14 year olds to drive, or stand for parliament, or get married, or force them to pay taxes etc if it’s decided they’re mature enough?
