if it were interactive, then it would have been better, also, the first time I ran it, it couldn't do anything at all, so a help file might be nice as well, other than that, I could see you putting alot of effort into this.

Cool story. Why do you show the user mouse pointer at the end and do not close the run window?

Author:  Cervantes [ Fri Jan 23, 2004 8:55 pm ]
Post subject: 

no I haven't put a whole lot of effort into making this program totally bug prood (I dunno about that Asian, I had no trouble with it not doing anything at the start, maybe something to do with the zip file?)

Sport : Show the mouse pointer at the end? close the window?? There is no end!! he just keeps going and going and going!!! Smile

it's an interesting idea and is kinda funny for the first bit... but I find it to be too slow, repeatitive and have crappy graphics. I think there's quite of bit of room for improvement.

Im giving you AVG cuz, well i can't do that Sad
but hey i haven't learned turing yet...you can improve on the graphics ;D (and try not make him so hyper that his moving everytime Confused)

I vote Average...basically because its pretty easy to do that. Although I really like your usage of the graphics, it actually m akes it look quite good!

The pong is technically impossible. When I put in 5 difficulty the paddle cant even move fast enough to hit the ball. Although I DO like the music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I suppose the narration could be better,
"Thats odd, he seems to be moving towards his house"?

Post subject: 

dammit paulbian you're ruining the plot! That was an essential element and now its ruined! I blame you.

no one wants Fred to stop his tap dancing, there would be no entertainment! So when Fred starts moving towards his house to go inside, everyone gets worried!

Post subject: 

i got worried , fred and i are close pals from way back when , if he stopped dancing ,that would ruin everything

Fred's quite the popular guy isn't he?

id have to agree , how many lines of code was the animation of fred

Author:  Cervantes [ Wed Jan 28, 2004 10:29 am ]
Post subject: 

fred took a lot of code... (the greedy bas... guy)
including comments it was about 700 lines.. prolly woulda been a LOT less if I had put pictures into an array...

I liked it. Good use of layering. Now you have to figure out how to speed it up :p

Author:  Cervantes [ Thu Feb 12, 2004 3:44 pm ]
Post subject: 

make the delay of certain parts shorter.. not hard at all Neutral
unless that's not what you mean.. Question

this is a little repetative but I think it is pretty cool.

Maybe make it interactive (different kinds of dances)

and add some sound (music)

I thought it goes on forever? doesn't it? Maybe random movements lol, I don't know if thats possible on a dancing level.

Author:  Cervantes [ Sat Feb 14, 2004 7:39 pm ]
Post subject: 

Yes it does go on forever.
As for interactive, Fred doesn't respond to stimuli well. If you zap him with an electric shock with a voltage of 100 volts, all he does is tap dance faster! If you send the hounds after him, he mearly dies in his tap-dancing.

Yes I could make it interactive, but like Maverick said you don't really want to go back to code that you made a long time ago because its so messy and gross Eh

i like the animations... hard to get the layering right... and i like the chimney climb... and its very smooth.... but,.... i only gave it average... cuz the graphcis could be a little better.. and sound... and ...intereactive... but gj anyways..,.
