Huh, the only one I've ever seen is Bunny Gotchi. But ya, should be interesting. But we should get back on topic now :P
er wrong topic? o.o

(or maybe SpyBot45 failed at notifying of the right post?)

Not the wrong topic, we were talking about POTY and got to talking about the tomigotchi programs. You said something about a program called Timigotchy and I said the only graphical one that I knew about was Bunny Gotchi, then I said we should get back on the topic of Portal X

Also, awesome! It is amazing.

In the future tho there will be a feature where you can specify a certain portal to shoot, while keeping the other one locked.  And they will change graphically to reflect this ^^

I have an idea for you:
Since you already keep them animated, you could differenciate between which one was selected and which one was locked by changing the speed of the animation so that the locked one moved slower.

I like this idea :), it would make things much easier. IN the real Portal you use two different buttons to shoot portals. In the flash and calc versions it alternates between both portals, except on calc you shoot with numpad. I wonder if pressing 5 could change the selected portal to shoot?

Or maybe the [2ND] or [ALPHA] key to do that?

@Builderboy
Did you implement a terminal velocity piece of code? It just looks like it.

Mhmm, idk, because since the shooting keys are all the way at bottom of calc, wouldn't it be better to choose a key close to them?

Mmm so like when you press 5, the most recent Portal that has been shot becomes the only one that you can shoot?  And then when you press 5 again it goes back to normal?

That sounds good!
What do you think about the animation idea?

Yep, sounds good to me, I will have the 'stuck' portal either stop animating altogether or just animate slower.  That way when you press 5 you know which one is stuck.  And then if its not the right one... Hmm press 5 again?

Yeah, I think 5 could just switch the "active" portal, or the one you are shooting.

Well I think what DJ was talking about is that you only shoot one portal at a time and pressing 5 toggles between which one is shot. If that makes sense. I could be wrong.

Okay so i just made a small modification.  The two portals now always have different speeds, the most recent one is still fast, but the less recent one is slower.  That means that when you shoot a portal, the slow one will disappear and become the new one.  And you can press 5 to switch the fast and the slow one.

More like that?
