can i make a whole game just by using variables? we'll see :D

also, any hosting for games that you want hosted, but dont want them to be on the AxeUK site, or want them on my site as well as the axeUK site, there will be a directory soon specifically for ASL MuDs....

http://www.squiggleuk.com/games/rpg/ is the current location

Yeah - but if you program it weird it can be slow.

... Simple answer, yes, it can be done - no challenge really. :wink:

EDIT:
LOL, I rule... Both my pictures original by me - except the monitor which I nicked from Microsoft and I claim full rights to it anyways :twisted: .

Is the signature pic a ripoff of Resident Evil or something? Looks like the Umbrella Corporations symbol to me.

Yeah, I made the sig originally for [blatent website advertisment]umbrella-inc.com[/BWA] and I couldn't think of a background. Since I hade made the umbrella logo I decided it would be best.

Oh, I also like the fact someone knows resident evil apart from me in this little community - YAY -.

eh, the director's cut one scared the crap out of me when I first played it, but I found all the sequels to be dull, except the remake for NGC, that seemed really um, "hip" and "with it".

Hey - like the sig Ste... Did you just used something simple to draw out a rough line and do some stuff to change the colour and "glow" effect.

I take it from your "it can be done" that you did it... Any info on that?

im actually using photoshop to do it. i have a plug-in which does it automatically, but there is an easy way to do it too. if you have it just follow these instrutions....

Press D to put the pallette back to black and white

goto fliter -- render -- clouds
goto filter -- render -- Difference clouds
press Ctrl + I. the picture should now be bright and you should start to see the lightning appear.

Goto Image -- Adjustments -- Levels -- put the middle arrow all the way to the left
Goto Image -- Adjustments -- Hue & Saturation, and choose the colour of the lightning.

Your new one is awesome i'd love to know how u did that

I used Flash to do it. I found that you can select a picture, delete it and use the shape tool to draw out the picture again - but in the respective places. So you get this window-like effect.

You could also do it by putting squares over the picture and deleting the area's outside the boxes too ;)

Then I just put writing on it... The "© Computer Whizz" is done using a mask. That's about it really!

Using pre-rendered boxes and solar/lens flares is going to always make that suck. The text and "spider" aren't at the proper angle as well as have no depth.
