Thanks Streetwalker, just what I needed!

Thanks chickendude!

It looks really good in my head! But after I port it, something usually gets lost in translation I will take care with this title though, the movie is a classic and I want to represent it the best I can.


Everyone has so much accomplished already! I haven't even done a mockup yet! A little depressing Snake will be finished tonight, I'll get Pacman done real quick, then get started on Scarface.

Ha Ha! Yeah, just playing on the ignorance of americans! That's probably a pretty good portrayal, except for the TSA who would let Bin Laden hop right on a plane, but pat me down until their hands went numb!

Thanks Sorunome and Art_of_camelot! At its core its kinda like Drug wars but this has a plot, more strategy, and more action. I talk alot, but it has even been started yet

This game will be part strategy and part action. Your goal is to grow your empire by buying/selling drugs and taking out the competition. I'll post some mockups in a few days. After the contest, I'll port what I can to the +C.

DJ: Maybe....

Runer112: I disable the base image while drawing so the user doesn't see it, the speeds you mention sound pretty accurate for normal drawing

Its perfect!!! The game runs fast and the animations look good! Its nice to see another game on the +C!

Here's my thoughts on religion:

When I was younger I believed in god, santa, and other fictional characters (maybe even the easter bunny). I thought wrestling was real along with the characters from scary movies. As I grew older I realized that they were made up. I could see the reasons that people invented them and argued with others about their authenticity (mainly wrestling and god, and not with children of course ha ha!). I put a lot of thought into space and time itself. I would like to think that if I was alive back in the day and everyone else was telling me that the world was flat, I could look in the sky witnessing the sun and the moon and ask them to take another guess. Now I can look at animals and see how they evolved in my mind. I can see how every small thing plays its part (the reason for reproducing, lifespans...). I know people that are purposely evolving bacteria to create permanent cures for diseases by binding them with specific proteins (I hope to join them in the future maybe get my own lab someday). Evolution is not a perfect science, the proteins don't always take hold but you discard the ones that don't and keep evolving the ones that do. I can't pinpoint how the first organism developed but I can look at a crystals self replicating structure and make the jump over to a replicating dna strand. I think that a lot of people don't really understand the concept of time, zero, infinity, or a god itself. When someone asks me what happens to us when we die, I always reply just think about what it was like before you were born. A few months ago my boss made the comment about how he wishes he could go back in time to when he was 9 even if he forgot everything he knew. I sat silent, but my reply should have been you already have (he wouldn't have known if I was telling the truth or not). I think time moves irregularly, including in reverse, but because everything only exists in a specific frame we always perceive it as going forward. Humans like to be judged though and are so egotistical they tend to think they are above everything else. Creating a god fulfills their emotions, reduces their fear of the unknown, and gives them a reason to be ignorant (...Skinners pigeons...). I get that ignorance is bliss, if I could walk around without any cares, I would definitely enjoy it. Minding the foxhole subject, if there was a god/heaven/hell people would be better off killing themselves. In reality, humans are such a small part of the universe, looking in, you wouldn't even pay them no mind. But hey, god created the universe for us right? We are part of the universe though, so we should join together and take pride in that.

Here is the reason I hate the notion of a god that exists over us:
When I program, I consider myself to be a god. I make my own little digital universe with its own little physics and characters that *must* follow the physics I create (if they didn't I would crap my pants where I stood!). If I had a super computer that was so fast my digital universe would evolve faster then the actual universe and the ai would allow my characters to become so smart they became self aware and even question my existence, think about what I would be able to do. They would run around and sometimes get hit by cars and 'die' or form families and live in big houses. As a true god I could modify the physics and perform 'miracles'. Yes, being a god I can control physics and time with ease. Being a kind and caring god, I wouldn't let anything bad happen to them. If they died, I could perform a 'real' miracle and bring them back to life. If they hoped and prayed, I would give them what they wanted. Never in my life would I let my characters starve to death, get mistreated, feel sorry or scared, start wars with each other, get raped or murdered, because that's what a 'real' god does.

Now back to real life where no god exists. When people see things they can't explain or coincidences occur (again Skinners pigeons) they just throw it into the god bucket. My favorite is when I hear someone say something like 'the guy came in shooting and killing everybody, thank god I made it out alive' .... Wow, really, you thank god for that???

There isn't a way for anyone to explain to me how a god that exists would allow people to be murdered around the world. Quoting stuff from the bible doesn't address it, 'just because god wants it to be that way' doesn't address it, there is *no* way to justify that. I don't understand how that can be acceptable by anyone.

An excellent game, haven't made it past the strobe level
