[Paintball Gun Rampage]

Some nice ideas

The damage system is wicked

When you fire a shot, though, record where the base of the sprite was when it was fired from (Y position). Then, when the hit detection algorithm is run, compare that Y position to the base (max Y position) of the sprite that is being hit detected. If it's within, for example, 20 pixels, you could class that as a hit.

I'd use something like:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.bullet)) {
if (math.ceil(_root.bullet.onFiredHeroFootPosition-(this._y+th
is.height)) < 20) {
// then it's a hit
}
}
}

That's off the top of my head, so it obviously wouldn't work as is! Hope this helps

[Pacman Flash]

Very impressive!

Nice conversion!

The controls are somewhat glitchy, but overall it works pretty well.

Revising the controls and putting a little more care into the graphics would make this a really tight game

Also - I don't think it needed to be as big as it was; I guess that's the MP3 taking up most of that space?

Zooropa responds:

ye good guess, sorry about that, but the .wav converter that newgrounds recomends will only convert files from CD, but the mp3's are from my hard-drive. i'm plannin to put some proper arcade sounds into it soon tho

[All-In-One Tutorial 3]

Useful, thanks

This was useful, thankyou

The music stopping and starting was annoying though

DJRunaway responds:

I will try to change that in the next episode, k? Thanks for the review!
