AnyNowhere — daily chat log — back (to logs index)
01:40, Albeyamakiir> I will from now on! :P
03:02, Speeder> I want to know how Alex made the scrolling background
03:02, Speeder> It was so awesome
04:10, Jam inspects the Postline source code.
04:11, Cryoburner whispers: There's fire in it... and gears.
04:11, Jam> A little bit of magic mixed with recursive functions...
04:13, Jam whispers: I don't see any gears, but there are gadgets. And cookies! :P
04:24, Jam> Hmm... I wonder why speeder's breakout game was 6MB when I tried to download it earlier, but now it's only 600KB.
04:27, Jam whispers: I hope it works with WINE. I really wanna play it!
05:52, Speeder> sorry Jam, the download is broken
05:52, Speeder> actually, it is 10mb
05:52, Speeder> while I was uploading a fix after cryo complaints, my internet became highly unstable (it is hours that I am trying to damn upload the file again...)
07:04, Speeder> Wow, Jam is looong gone :( But I fixed the game :P
08:06, Speeder> Albey thanks for the feedback :) I fixed the... survey (I forgot to translate the power names...)
14:46, Cryoburner whispers: That's okay, none of us know the names of the powers anyway. :P
14:53, Cryoburner whispers: I see someone implemented a scrolling background on their site. :)
20:07, Jam> Ugh... I tried several times to download the game, but it keeps stopping.
20:08, Jam is sick of dial-up.
20:38, E_net4> O_O
20:59, Speeder feels sorry for Jam.
21:00, Speeder> half of the game size is the logo only :/ I only realized that after a while... (but worry not, the game will probably get smaller in future versions ^^ As I figured how to use generated text instead of using pics with the text on them...)
21:01, Cryoburner whispers: No! Make it larger! :P
21:04, Cryoburner whispers: Hours of HD cutscenes! Uncompressed 5.1 surround music! Developer commentary voiceovers in all supported languages!
21:30, Speeder> O.O
21:31, Speeder> The music will be .xm :P And I will compress the audio to .ogg (currently it is plain .wav)
21:31, Speeder> And, I will run the .pngs in png optmizers
22:28, Speeder> Actually, I just compressed the logo :) Dropped to 88% of its original size. (12% less seemly is not much... but 12% of 5mb is a lot :P)
22:29, Cryoburner whispers: Well, the logo looks cool, anyway. That's all that matters. :P
22:30, Speeder> Yep! And it took me a month to make :/ (I made it by hand, frame by frame... I probably will never do such thing again O.O)
22:31, Cryoburner whispers: Oh wow... I probably shouldn't provide my suggestion to give it a more interesting title then. :P
22:34, Cryoburner> I played again earlier, and got to level 7 that time.
22:35, Cryoburner whispers: The energy draining one... that was kind of annoying. :|
22:36, Jam> Super Fantastic Breakout Extreme Deluxe Clone!
22:36, Speeder> If it do not had a name, I would use this one :P
22:37, Jam> Nah... Too long. :P
22:38, Jam> I got about 6MB into the download, then my computer decided to go to sleep...
22:38, Speeder> And "Paddle Wars: Hit The Wall" is not?
22:39, Jam> But it has a ':' in it. That makes it seem shorter!
22:42, Speeder> Huh.... I see :P
22:43, Speeder> Cryo don't told me what he wanted to pulse the glow...
22:49, Jam> Do you happen to know if it is compatible with WINE?
22:59, Cryoburner whispers: Too much wine, and you'll have difficulty hitting the wall!
23:17, Speeder> Jam I have no idea... But I will need to test later the GNU/Linux version... And fresh testers is always good... So, you can stop fighting with your connection and wait for the GNU/Linux native XD (if you want, of course...)
