Posted by Glen on April 5, 2011, 6:18 p.m.

So I was messing around with a platform physics engine called yslide (found it here) and thought I'd make a quick game out of it. It's a simple abstract game that I think could make for a nice iphone app in the future. Tell me what you think about the …

Just got a copy of the new pokemon game today. I've upgraded from Sapphire to White so… I'm not used to seeing pokemon in 3D. Wtf. This is craziness. Doesn't feel the same. I like it, but at the same time, it's not pokemon anymore.

Explain it to me. Never played. What's the purpose? Why is the community obsessed with it? What do you do in the game? I never got around to playing it, but 64D is not the only community I've seen play MC all the time. So what's the hype about?

Question about Threads and GM

Posted by Glen on Jan. 11, 2011, 4 p.m.

To my understanding, threads speed up processing by splitting the processes. For example, if I want something done without it lagging the game, I can have it processed outside of gm as if it were a separate thread? And if that's the case, does this mean doing everything in their …

Digging through my gamemaker folder, I came across Aeon Online again and thought I'd put up a Beta testing server. Question time.
