Can I be in the game? I've been around longer than some of those members.
(And I have a better attitude than some of them, too. )

You're already on the list, and have been for a while.

Huh. Maybe it was sleep deprivation that made me unable to see it.

I just thought - maybe the HP could be internet speed? Like MBPS? Or maybe Postcounts? or something like that.

There is probably a better way of doing this no offense at all SBR.

$game_banner = Game_Banner.new

Instead of doing the above, its recommended to just do this in the scenes you want.

class Scene_Title
  alias draw_banner_later main
  def main
    @banner = Game_Banner.new
    draw_banner_later
    @banner.dispose
  end
  alias update_ban_later update
  def update
    @banner.update
    update_ban_later
  end
end

Sure its more work, but its more efficient.

You're completely right, G_G. I already said I made it really fast so I didn't really think of it before I started. Hmm, but what if you change scenes when the banner is active? Then the banner would suddenly disappear. Also, if you make the reappearing time bigger, you would have to stay on the same scene for a pretty long time, and you shouldn't access the menu.

There may be scenes you don't want the banner on. Also on top of that we can store time thats passed in $game_system.

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :dissappear_time
  alias gg_add_ban_time_lat initialize
  def initialize
    @time = 0
    gg_add_ban_time_lat
  end
end

And add to that variable instead of the variable in the game_banner class.

Hmm, that's true!  I'll edit it right away.

I need Aqua and SBR's pic so I can make one....

Oh, right... Take Sarcaboom's sprite by Niche (if he wants to give it to you).

And it seems it takes more editment than I thought. Why exactly is it more effective?

EDIT: Or maybe later. Start with Aqua's first .

@S_N,

If I take Dio's suggestion of using well-known Internet music, then I should be able to cover the majority of my needs. However, what I would really like would be an epic, over-the-top, dramatic sounding main theme. I know you're working on a few projects already, just whenever you get around to it would be fine. If you don't have the time right now, that's fine too.

How about making an option to change the browser later on in the game: you can change the HUD. You start with IE, but find out that it is crappy pretty soon. Let's take firefox! +1 every stat! And the ultimate browser is Opera.

How about they all give different bonuses. If any at all.

[nathmatt]

There shouldn't be an ultimate browser. Every browser has it's ups and downs.

Well, if the original idea for the browser of this game would be O, I guess it should be the ultimate then?

I think you should should reassess the priorities of the development that you hold. It's not the original idea that matters, it's the one that makes the most sense.

You win. But Opera still rules!

Truth.

I couldn't help myself.
