1101! WooT!
Although I've played this game a long time ago.
And I don't think it's gonna ruin any forumer's social life. I mean, how could it?
Edit: Damn these invisible collisions!

This game's so old.
Still, most I made it to was a semi-respectable 843 before got bored.

The more I play the worse I get. :confused:
Crashing at extreamly unfair moments like this makes me give up on this game..

First attempt: 607.
Second attempt: 988.
I'm afraid Quake 3 ruined my social life long ago. I have long since moved from these small games.

Day 2.
1254 = again 5 minutes.
____
Calc:
5 minutes = 878
another 5 minutes = 1254
so every 5 minutes = 1254 - 878 = 376
1254 / 376 = 3,3351063829787234042553191489362
4218 / 376 = 11,218085106382978723404255319149
11,218085106382978723404255319149 - 3,3351063829787234042553191489362 * 5 = 39,41489361702127659574468085102
So over 39,41489361702127659574468085102 minutes I've beaten the highscore! :p
Sorry Worm1234, but numbers do not lie...

1753 after a few tries. I've played the PDA version of this before, though. The physics are kind of different in that one.

Actually, the Helicopter sprite is too big. It needs to be cropped more carefully.

No, all that needs to be done is ad a shape flag in the collision code. It's very simple. And it would make sure the actual helicopter touches and not the invisible square box that the helicipter is inside.

But wouldn't have been even easier to make the invisible box around it smaller?
Meh, I havn't done coding or programming, so I wouldn't really know.

Yes, it would be easier. But it isn't a hard thing to add precise collision checking.

Xinos
4 Feb 2007, 17:31
No it would not be easier, since the collision box is the same height and width of the copter. Unless of course you make a seperate invisible item to use for collision that would be smaller, but that isn't easier than modifiing the right line of code.
The difference in the code is only this:
if (hitTest(_root.building)) {
vs.
clip.hitTest(_root.building._x, _root.building._y, true)

You can get trough these things with enought skill (that even I don't have...)

Yes, you win.

GAHAHAHAAAA that was a good joke, but... If I wanted the helicopter to go through there, it should have gone HORIZONTALLY, which means that I should be pressing the mouse button at a maniac frenzy... because remember that the collision sprite is a HUGE rectangle... and I have never seen the helicopter horizontally flying. ever. :p

No, because you watch too much DBZ!
