Hello!

I currently use Google Chrome.  My dad uses Internet Explorer, since it was preloaded onto our computer and it's the norm.  I've tried to explain to him why Chrome is better, but he wants proof!  I have looked for articles, reviews, any credible sources that rate/rank security abilities of big name browsers, but haven't found much.

Anyways, he is telling me to remove Chrome and go back to IE because he believes that having an extra browser installed will either 'take up too much space', 'make the computer slower', or 'give us a virus'.

So, how can I show that Chrome has better security?  It is easy to show it is faster, but his main concern is whether or not we will get a virus since our computer is about six years old and he doesn't want to buy a new one.  If anyone knows any well known tech websites that have published anything on this topic, then I would really like to see it!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Note:  If I can't persuade him on Chrome, I would be willing to settle on Firefox and get him with the open-source argument, which he doesn't quite understand yet (can't the bad guys see every vulnerability?   ).  If you have any good articles about the advantages of open-source, those would help too!

1) go to Profile(in the top bar )
2) click on 'Forum Profile Information', in the little side box.
3) at the top, it should have options for uploading avatars

Hooray!  Thanks for the help.  Now you can all bask in the glory of my grappling skills!

*Pardon the downright awful grammar, I'm writing this in a hurry*

Hello, it's me again!  I'm still new to this forum, but I've been learning Axe through trial and error and progress is starting to happen!  (WARNING: There is a lot to read in this post!)

I came up with this platformer.  It is nowhere near complete, but I think I've got the engine down and the title screen is in the works (it is Spelunky inspired).  I would like some feedback regarding my engine structure.  I already know that certain areas run faster than others.

[Edit]:  Here, I made a screenshot of me playing.  Also, how do I make attachments for the files?  Thanks for the help!  



Okay!  Now, The main reason I want feedback is because this is my first game!  I prefer bullets, so lets just make an unorganized list about my goals for the game and issues with the code, etc.

-The sneak key stops you midair, I would like to eliminate that
-Can I use interrupts to get a consistent framerate?
-Do you people out there think I could make a large-scaled game with this engine?
   -How effective is the 'run universal engine, then room-specific collisions and incidences' method that I made up?
-Is there and even better way to do: *make R01 separate file* *replace inline with prgmR01*
-When I exit via the exit door in the upper left, the calc will not turn off unless I press [2nd][Quit] first.  Help?
+I would like each "World" to contain multiple levels.  In each level, multiple screens.  Not Mario sidescrolling, but VVVVVV sidescrolling (I think?) where a whole new screen is loaded.
+I have no idea what settings I could implement, that's just there for show I guess  

In this test, the home screen that displays is what would display if the user completed all levels in the world.

That's all I can think of for now, I would love to hear any and all of your feedback!
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but oh well!
I hope you enjoy my spelunky inspired title screen!  I may add greyscale for better art abilities.

Edit: Could someone tell me how to include screen shots? Also how to take them! Thanks!

Yey for peanuts!

The game I made is just a Mastermind port... I realized how not-fun it is once I finished it :p
