Probably was a spam bot. Good point... but someone had to write that stupid spam bot! Hence, the person(s) still indirectly destroy and tarnish the image the work of others.

News / Warning...

Sorry to hear that!! I hope you were able to restore everything.
Some jerk started posting adult related SPAM in my discussion topic at Dino's Ultima page. The SPAM was coming in on an 8 day cycle. I had to have the topic locked to prevent further spamming. :angry:
Some people have nothing better to do than to destroy or tarnish the image of other's work. Very sad.

I loved playing Lotus Turbo Challenge (or something like that) on my old Amiga 600. I loved that game -- especially the music. :lol:
Personally, I like the car to move side to side a little bit. It requires a little bit more hand to eye coordination. Hence, it makes the game more fun to play. B)
Are you going to add a few more sprites that depict the actual turning of the car?

Updated!   The road now moves around the player's car, and not the other way around (just like in the original Lotus games). Here's some animated goodness:The road is a bit smoother now, too, with less jagged edges. - Alex |

Miscellaneous / My Mom and Depression
« on: May 07, 2006, 05:13:00 pm »
Well... My mom has been diagnosed as bipolar and manic depressive for at least 15 years now. 
And today... My sister called me to inform me that my mom tried to commit suicide... by downing 150 pills of assorted kinds.
If she makes it... There is a chance she will lose all kindey functionality and potential brain damage... And that is if she makes it.
In her manic states, she is too scary to be around. Not to mention that she hates my wife. I have a little girl too... 22 months old. I have chosen to protect my family from her. Hence, I have not spoken to my mom for over a year now. My little girl probably does not even remember her grandma.
Anyway... Emotions are high right now. I pray that I can handle this situation as is develops. This is a sad situation from every angle that you look it.

Well... Ultima V would have turned into an incomplete tech demo about 1 year ago if it had not been for Omnimaga and Kevin.
Thank you for all of your encouragement!

| Ranman, could you re-post some of your Ultima V screenshots? It doesn't matter if they're older ones, what with the forum change they got lost. - Alex |
Okay... Thanks for the reminder.

| Ranman, are you a priest? |
Nope... I am just a regular church member.
I was an assistant deacon of the education department. However, I resigned when I heard the news of the minister being fired. I could not, in good faith, support that decision.
Thank you all for your concerns!

Yeah... Kevin is right...
The past 2 weeks have been mentally draining because of some church related stuff. Our preaching minister was fired for some very petty reasons.
But... I am getting the itch to start coding again.
Stay tuned
