Thank you. +1 for clear, direct information and links, exactly what I was looking for.

I like the new name

This looks really awesome. Are you going to include it in the next release of Zedd?

This is a really nice version of this style of program.  I really like how the pixels go from gray to black to indicate that more water is there - that's a really nice touch I've never seen before.

lol I didn't even notice that.    The thing is, the more pixels there are, the less they move around, so the more solid, or black, they appear. So when the pixels are by themselves, they go crazy and appear to flicker, I guess thus seeming to be gray. but when there are big solid chunks they don't move hardly at all.

Does anyone carve furniture using a pocket knife?

Hi everyone. My current project right now is a game I'm calling Base 671. Basically, the story goes like this: It is the year 2150, and you are a well trained and armed battle hardened space marine. The last battle in which you fought went horribly wrong, ending with more than half of your forces dead, and all survivors captured. These survivors, including yourself, were brought to an awful place, a space station known as Base 671. This base is infamous for epic gladiator style arena fighting. Well, lucky you, you have been selected as the first contestant in these fights. You, in a provided combat pod, are forced to fight your way through wave after wave of enemy lines. It is up to you to defeat all of the enemies that come your way, and by so doing, saving the rest of your forces from a horrible. After all, they couldn't stand for three seconds in this arena.

EDIT: In the screenie, I barely showed the flamethrower at all. Download it and check it out if you want to see more

I agree! Cept, I don't have Skype, or a webcam, or a microphone. Plus my parents won't let me cause i'm still in high school. But still!
