VirtuaLife, MMORPG - 0.0.2.7 MOVED TO YYGF

Psh. I'll update that ol thing again sooner or later. So when are we lookin at an update Luke?

Hmm, this week definitely. I've been caught up in re-learning some ASM.

I've got another set of (related) question about these mini-games. Will they need to be arcade-y in that you have a set amount of lives, and starting a new game actually costs something? Like, if I lose all my lives in a real arcade cabinet, I need to stick in a couple more quarters to keep playing. Will this be simulated in these games, and if so how? What's to stop someone from closing VL and navigating to the downloaded minigames folder to play them all for free? Is there some kind of check we should implement at the beginning of the game?

Hey luke... What's up? And what's with the moderator thing? Oh well. Next update this week... hmm....

INFO:

VirtuaLife is offline for now... Getting Windows XP back onto the system... Every user on this forum knows how laggy it's been, well, it wasn't that way with XP, so there's my solution.

You can expect VL back up tomorrow, with the website as well.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't answer any of my questions, but thanks anyhow.

Dixee, in giving me your GMK file, I take care of all that. It costs money to initially play the game, which will be handled by VirtuaLife... Within the minigame, if you lose, I'm going to make it to where you can only exit the game, not "play again" which is essentially unlimited plays for a single fee.

I'll put in controls for making sure they don't play the game for free. A command called parameter_string().

ATTENTION:

This is your admin double-posting. Thank ye.

VirtuaLife server is now back up.. Expect an update very soon.

UPDATES!!!

Get 0.0.1.6 now! Features:

1. Unlimited Username Bugfix - Thanks Dixee

2. Collision!!!!!!!! - THANKS DIXEE

3. Auto-updater uses a new system... Not visible to you, but better for me.

Okay. So... I just need to make it nintendo hard like old arcade games and not have save points (checkpoints, yes, or lives would be pointless). I think this is something I can handle.

Great, I have no doubt in your abilities.

Which is funny, since you've never seen anything I've made.

Sure, but you don't always need material evidence to come to the conclusion that someone can create fine work

True... Same concept as hiring a new employee. you don't need to watch them work before you hire them.

Sorry about not being a regular Luke... I've had a ton of stuff going on. Life is crashing down on me, it's never been better, but there's never enough time anymore. Of course it still has it's ups and downs...

Second, I'll PM you about making a topic online with maybe some different coding, but I can't stay on long, so I'll send it later. Science lesson of the day FTW!

I'll try to be on for about 5 min a day *yes, that's a lot for me now*. Can't wait to see the collison update after I've been messing with you for so long... But I'll always find some unfixable bug Good luck trying to stop me. I wish I could be on more, but being the nerd I am, I have too many current commitments to work on.

I promise to try out the new version tomorrow, and congrats on another (probably) sucessful update!

aHahaha thanks, KT :-) glad to hear life is picking up for ya

Thanks I guess..........

Well if you wanna talk, tell me to get on VL.

Next update, people, should be soon... Until 0.0.2, I'm focused on getting any bugs fixed, and putting in network lag-efficiency systems.

Collision system is nice! It still has a lot of bugs, but It's working for right now.

This is awesome! I never knew you had a website! Now I can talk here, even though I haven't seen anyone on VL, I can talk with people here. Even Kt is here! Who is John and Dixee though?

John Garcia and Alexis Newman. Also known as GmMkr and Dixee, respectively. John is the founder of these forums. Dixee is a moderator here, and also a programmer that happened to lend some aid to Luke.

Ok, well nice to meet you Dixee.

Nice to meet you too.

...And NOW I feel left out >.>

I fail left out too

Edit: aw he edited his post so now mine doesn't make sense... =(

I just tried the collisions for the first time. They do work well
