What's with that BioShock game getting so much attention? The (granted, few) reviews I read about it were more of the lukewarm "it's nice, but eh, who cares" kind...

The only one out of those I have played is Portal, but I wholeheartedly support it gaining the category award...

Either way, link to source?

Quoth the FAQ,

Use proper grammar and avoid '1337speak' and AOL speak (u/ur/y/ in place of words such as you/you're/why). It is a good way to gain respect.

(edit: I see you fixed it.)

Other than that, if you send me your ROM, I can switch around the instruments on that song if you want (and if you can nicely ask in proper English, that is...).

With the paths using this shade of blue, it looks like they are flooded...

I actually found that track to be surprisingly fitting to the underwater areas (and, for an RPG song, sounding notably good with SMW's instruments)...

Could it be it feels more responsive to you because of most extensions being disabled?

Also, I kind of lost interest in Firefox 3 ever since they decided to not include SVG+SMIL support into it...

Yeah, the original colour or alternatively a slightly lighter version of the shade of the grass on your map would work.

Also, just when one thought nothing in SMW hacking could surprise one anymore...

Well, it seems an unnecessary thing to do now that Mattrizzle already posted a two-digit-number-of-clicks solution... also, how the hell do you "make spelling grammmar"?

Or you could let me mirror it on the board server for the time being...

Into the Thick of it sounds a tad dissonant... but still, I suppose, a whole lot better than my old attempt at directly converting it from SoM with SST using the original instruments (which mostly failed hard because, lord, the ADSR of N-SPC's sample 13 butchers SoM's guitar; I hadn't written up anything to edit ADSR data at that point yet).

I fear I've already deleted it in the process of attempting to free up some MB on C:... other than that, though, we really should be able to do two weeks without. The level page is mostly going to be useful in the final phase of it.

I'd come, but San Diego is ... rather far away.
Same. I have a rather recent interests in more advanced forms of math, now when I have use for it in my personal projects.

Well, what I saw in the study materials was fairly advanced math... at times, I had to catch up with Wikipedia page to fully grasp the topics...

Yeah, whether or not too frequent demos spoil too much of a hack or not used to be a well-discussed controversy... I, for my part, find it interesting to watch the separate parts of a hack evolve.

I suppose supplies are limited in a confined place like Puerto Rico... then, as somebody who rarely ever has something like a wishlist of material things, I have never really gotten any experience with christmas shopping...

You have very low chances to get anyone to comment on, let alone play, your hack if you don't provide screenshots.

It is considered a bad breach of etiquette at worst and a sign of noobishness at best to demand people to test your hack without providing at least one screenshot... with the vast amount of bad hacks out there, nobody feels like cluttering their HDs with something they have no evidence of being good whatsoever produced by somebody they don't know.

From looking at your first level, your hack is not "hard" in any other way than stamping two hundred paper forms or completely solving a first grade maths book is. There is no challenging, "constructive" complexity; instead, your "hardness" stems from repeatedly forcing the player to perform a boring, not hard per se but linked to a certain chance of failure task.

Reconsider your concept all the way.

(1) Start preparing for tests. It's my final year at school, and I will be taking the exit exams starting with April.

(2) Get some sleep.

(3) Bring at least one of my pending projects into releasable state.

(4) Get a bit of a life.

In the gears I know, the "high-diameter"/"prominent" segments are roughly the same length as the "low-diameter"/"sunk in" ones too... then, it might be not really a gear but some kind of water-driven wheel; in that case, it could use a colour change. Other than that, very nice.

I could imagine Valve does only pull the episode thing off because they can charge more for three separate episodes than they could if they put everything together into a single game...

Is there really so much point to show the exit count in the status bar all the time? It's not like it is something one needs to know all the time, or something that could change in the middle of a level...

Also, regarding your typeface, I'd recommend reducing the 4 pixel distance between the white dot nuclei of the colon ( : ) to a 3 or a 2 pixel one. Like this, with you having two colons above each other, the top dot of the bottom colon produces more of an impression of "belonging together" with the bottom point of the top colon than its own.
