    Anyone mention Clash at Demonhead? It's a bit clunky, but was fun in it's day for the amount of stuff you could do.

    I never even noticed Evelys until that pixel ordeal. It would have been funny if the guy he did it too was savvy enough to out him in return.

    The trick to that part is realizing you can attack slightly faster when ducking than you can standing. Those orange dudes with the axes are nearly impossible to hit without taking damage otherwise.Hereis a random walkthrough video where you can see someone doing it.

    That's actually the pixel art tutorial I was trying to find when I found the other two. Apparently, I have it bookmarked somewhere in my zillion bookmarks but can't find it. Anyhow, thanks, added.

    Learning Programming on Your Own

    I think the more common thing people underestimate with game programming is the math involved. Even relatively simplistic games are often difficult to pull off if you have mediocre math skills. A simple shooter such as Gradius would be difficult to make if you don't know what Sin and Cos are for...

    Learning Programming on Your Own

    To make your own website you need to learn HTML and CSS at a minimum (being relatively familiar with an image editor would be useful as well). Anything beyond a static webpage, it's also good to know Javascript and at least one server-side language (I believe php is still the most popular)...

    I only like the first Lolo game. The second and third started doing that thing where you have to manipulate spawn points. Kill a snail thing, put a block on it's spawn, then it respawns somewhere else. It made quite a few of the puzzles trial and error instead of using logic. First one is my...

    I thought about GUF but it doesn't get as much traffic as General. Plus there is controversy over moderation regarding that forum that I don't really care to get involved with. - Added Memrise under the Language and General categories for now - that one looks interesting. I'll have to check...

    Difficult programming question

    I just startedthis threadand threw a bunch of Computer Science resources in there. What kind of game are you wanting to make, 3D or 2D? Unity is pretty good for 3D stuff and uses Javascript or C#. I originally learned to code with Flash/Actionscript which is sort of on a decline, but pretty good...

    Added both, also alphabetized by category. Recommendations on categories is helpful too. Some sites are difficult to categorize because they have so much stuff, so I place them in multiple spots. Also if anyone finds a bad/broken link let me know that too ~

    You could do the log collecting thing just with events. It's simple enough you could just increase/decrease a variable, or use items. If you go for a full blown crafting system, you'll have to bust out some scripting for that most likely.

    I never could figure out what I was supposed to do in the top-down parts in The Guardian Legend. I'd occasionally beat them, but not really understand what I was doing. I might have to give it another shot. I used to get it mixed up with Air Fortress, which is a shooter and side-scroller (with a...

    Remakes: What would you like to see?

    I liked how they handled Megaman Powered Up, and would like to see them continue them with the rest of the Megaman Classic series. Blaster Master is what I think should be an easy one, but for some reason every time they revisit that IP they fuck it up really bad.

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    Counterstrike is one I couldn't get into, and I was pretty big on FPS games at the time. I couldn't even tell you anything specifically I disliked about it either. I just couldn't ever bring myself to ever play it much.

    Gogo is pretty lethal in the right party. I don't remember the exact setup, but I had Terra dual wielding some swords, doing I think 4 hits for ~9999ish damage. One was Atma Weapon, which irrc had damage based on your max health - I forget what the other sword was. Anyway, Gogo would mimic it...

    what are some of the worst games you've ever played?

    I liked Out of this World when it came out. I tried to play it again after seeing the developer do a post-mortem talk about it - I really don't have the patience for that style of game anymore.

    I really only like the SNES ones too. 4 is my favorite, but I haven't played any past 8 except the online one. The first one on NES is pretty good, but primitive by today's standards. All of the 3D ones have been so far off the mark of what I liked in Final Fantasy, I don't even pay much...

    I liked Goldeneye more for the single player than the multiplayer. It was the first FPS game I played where you could pick off people long distance with a sniper rifle head shot. It did a lot of interesting things with mission objectives at a time when FPS games were still mostly keycard mazes...
