The flipping looks fantastic with the only suggestion being that it could be a bit faster...(maybe don't draw every frame, or something. Maybe you can just change a value somewhere...I don't know how that transition works )

As Shannon Monroe, one of the Senior Production Managers of Disney Interactive, once told me when looking at some animation and video that I did a while ago (No, seriously. He was really cool about it all...)

Something to always keep in mind when creating transitions is what we call the "DVD Title Rule":
No matter how fantastic your animation looks the first time, there is no denying that there is an inverse relationship between the wow factor and the just-open-the-damn-menu factor of the transition.

Hearing that made me realize just how correct he was, and has led me to cut down on transition times in a lot of things I've made. Please don't take this as me saying, "It's boring. Get it over with faster," but rather that I'm saying, "This transition looks fabulous, but don't let it eat up your gameplay!" There's a point where you know the solution already and you just want to get through to the next level as fast as possible, without having to wait for shift transitions.

Either way, the whole thing looks fantastic. I especially like the effectiveness of that sprite! It works much better than I'd have imagined it would.

Wow, yeah! That's perfect! Monochrome graphics and all!

Hey, I'm working on a program that requires me to calculate the intersection of a moving point and a moving line. The point (and each endpoint of the line) has a known x, y, x-velocity, and y-velocity. I am aware that I'll need to integrate this, but I'm not sure how to go about writing that equation in such a way that I can use it in my program. (Speed and size of the resulting equations when translated into code are both obsolete, so don't worry about 'optimizing' calculations.)

Let's assume that an intersection DOES exist between the current point/line locations and the point/line locations after translation from velocity.

Basically, the way I see it I can either integrate between the starting and ending locations of the points and solve for the intersection, or I can have my program just step through and interpolate when it sees that the point has crossed to the other side of the line.

Either way, I'm not sure exactly how to go about writing equations for either method.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I fourth smooth scrolling and third non-climbable walls. Keep it up!

Sounds like a good way to do it. Well, best of luck with getting it all working!

1000+ days!  \o/

We should capture the 1337th day somehow, it's only about a year away

We should do something special for that day.  (Not make another custom operating system. )

How about an Omnimaga-con somewhere IRL?

That would actually be pretty awesome I'd attend.
