ok, I started over and went completely hogwild... I picked a hill and fortified it. The wall has only one gate and I'm considering adding some towers that go up an extra story at the corners. What I'm currently working on is hollowing out the hill into various rooms. I do have a stair that exits on ...

woah, it's way too easy to waste time with this.....

example:

What's currently constructed has hallways, stairs, etc.... (not the best vantage point, the left wall goes back quite a ways where another tower is under construction.

I thought there was already a thread for this but I didn't find it. So here's my new one. :D I've been getting bored of all my current games and nothing new seems the least bit interesting... so I started going through all my old games and FSX was the one that stuck. Mostly I've been (re)familiarizi...

I actually hated the demo. It was like SupCom turned into StarCraft. Now it feels like just another RTS. However there was one new feature that I liked: the simple autogrouping feature that lets you reselect a group of units, to which you had previously given an order, with just a single click. (Tho...

Interesting... but it looks like it has the same gameplay "flaw" that lead me to giving away BF2: it takes WAY too many hits to down someone with an assault rifle. I could never kill anyone with less than half a magazine. I would be happy with 3-4 center-mass hits taking down a target (2-3...

lol, I just realized it is slow............... I think I might know what it is. *update* Ok, redownload it. I forgot the the Windows Forms Timer isn't accurate enough to use for a clock (not at the milliseconds level anyway). So I simply changed it to a deltaTime = lastTime.Subtract(DateTime.Now) to...

Ok, here's take one: http://www.microsmithinc.com/BlackRider/HatClock.zip http://www.microsmithinc.com/BlackRider/sc.jpg Simple instructions: * 2 buttons, start/stop & reset. -- Start/Stop starts & stops the clock -- Reset resets the time to what's in the DateTimePicker control * maximize fo...

So what exactly do you want? Do you want an alarm clock that you can pause?

What format do you want?
* hh:mm:ss? do you need precision beyond that?

What functionality do you need?
* set time (+/- buttons for hours, mins, seconds?)
* start/stop
* alarm (single alarm or multiple alarms?)

Second off, in an M6 you are greatly restricted to where you can dock and do trade. I keep reading this, but I've not had any trouble docking anywhere yet. Though, TBH I've only docked at the Shipyard in Argon Prime, a couple Trading Stations, and something else that I cannot remember. Is it that i...

lol.... looks like some of the equipment loads I've done before... never onto a boat, but usually about that safe/smart

To keep up the trend of me not accomplishing anything, I decided to give my copy of X3:R a try. I've never been able to get into this game before, so this time I started off cheating. :twisted: I figured out real quick how to give myself credits, but that didn't seem so fun..... so I gave myself an ...

Hrmm... things are going slower than I had hoped. I decided to complete my degree and so school work is eating a lot of my programming time. Plus I've been having some issues with my game state manager and probably won't get to the graphics code until Saturday at the earliest. But I think I'll uploa...

This is one of the things I really want to do when I get a long enough lens. I really want to redo my lunar eclipse series with a lens that can fill the entire frame with the moon. I don't remember what I used for the last one but the moon was so heavily cropped (and my tripod so wobbly) that I simp...

Thanks for the info. I have actually been looking into Lua, but for my initial 2d demo/game I've decided to use a simple assembly language. It hurts accessibility, but this project is a combination of a learning exercise and a testbed for my next game project. So it's not really something meant to b...
