[Basic Buttons Tutorial 4]

Ugh...

There are hundreds of these, and this one doesn't stand out at all.

First of all, there was no back button.

You have very bad grammar and spelling.

You didn't explain this very well, either. "Press F8 and a box will appear". "Name it button so it doesn't confuse you". "Leave Registration as it is."

I think you should have explained everything in the MOVIECLIP PROPERTIES PANEL (aka "Box") rather than having the user skip through everything in it.

You also said to put a }: at the end of the button's actions. That'll create a compiler error! Use semicolons (;) you moron.

You didn't explain any of the button events, except for "onPress". There are many more button events to learn, such as onRelease, onRollOver, onDragOut, onDragOver, onRollOut, etc.

And finally, you taught the oh-so-inefficient way of placing code on movieclips or buttons. It's ALWAYS better to give the button an instance name, and put the code on a frame. For example:

myBut.onRelease = function(){
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}

Joeboe1998 responds:

Retard. You cam't stop it then

[Sniper Assassin 3]

Meh...

This is no more than a fancy button game. Sure, there's guns, but when you get down to it it's pretty much just clicking buttons.

The fact that you use poorly drawn and animated stick figures just brings down the excitement of this game a lot.

I hate how if you shoot something other than a stick figure, nothing happens. Also, no civilians become suspicious if you shoot your rifle, or shoot the wrong person's leg off.

And seriously... the sniper scope is too small. I'd like to be able to zoom out and see a "binocular view" and have shooting disabled or something.

annlucaswinters responds:

like foxy sniper 2?

[CoD4: Sniper]

Fun

I always enjoy sniper games, and I love cod4. My only issue is that this was pretty hard. The enemies were hard to find, and the scope was too small for the dimensions of the game.

Overall, 8/10.

andy70707 responds:

Thanks, its supposed to be pretty hard, like the real game is (on XBL) but I dont see what you mean about the scope, if it was any bigger you could see like half the screen at once.

[Errors '09]

I love Windows-Related Things

And this is no exception. Nice job!

AntoArts-Admin responds:

Glad you enjoyed!

[Color Balls]

Fun

Well, the graphics were bad, and I think the balls were a bit too slow. It was a nice concept. You should make a new version with better graphics and stuff.

mrty responds:

I AM thinking of a new and better version, maybe after I'm done with Sniper's Contracts 2.

Thanks for playing, and reviewing.

[Frame Button Tutorial]

It looks nice, but it's not efficient.

Your way is way too complicated (relatively, of course). There are much better ways to perform the same task. Anyway, it looked a lot nicer than some of the other tutorials I've seen.

And by the way, next time you make a tutorial, make it something new. Do you know how many button tutorials there are out there? Don't make stuff just to have another submission and good score. Make stuff to share your knowledge with other people. Make stuff for fun, not scores.

Elroy responds:

I had a lot of fun making this. The nice score is just a bonus in my view. I expected to get like, a much lower score.

[ChatterBox Chat Room v1.0]

Just a chatterbot.... Nothing special...

And you didn't even program them to give specific responses! Wow... At least turn this into a game, maybe then I would give you at least a 1/10.

ZiggyZack99 responds:

I didn't give them specific responses?! Wow. These are all different bots.... do you have ANY IDEA how long this took?!

[Going Up!]

What the hell is this?

I'm sorry, but this is just plain awful. The collision detection was pathetic, and I dropped all the way to the beginning a couple hundred times. I just said "screw it" and clicked the little "X". Really, if you're going to make a screamer game, give it some decent collision detection!

Renandchi2 responds:

i dunno, like i said, i tested the game, and the collsion only didnt work for me a couple of times. ur just not that good, but since its a jumping game, i cant blame u. jumping gamess are hard

[The Sniper's Contracts]

Great!!

It had a nice plot, and the gameplay was fun. My favorite level was "Black Christmas" but I love the entire game. Really well done. If this had some better graphics and animation, this could even get front page!

10/10, 5/5

mrty responds:

I'm surprised to see that I didn't respond to this review before.

I'm really glad you liked a game with NES-like graphics and animations. :) I'm sure you will like the sequel.

Hey, how come you wrote 10/10 and gave this a 9?

[LOZ: OOT DX]

You had me excited for a second there...

The title screen was so convincing, but then the dancing pirates popped up and I realized that there wasn't any game...

giraffen93 responds:

Oh yes.
