MYERSGUY'S PROFILE

So, I found this neat site called mypersonality.info. I decided to take the two tests that they had, and I found it kind of neat. The site even puts your results on a litte graphed image, so I decided, why not have the people at RMN take this, and we could compare results! . I thought it might be funj. Here is mine:

If enough people participate, I will make a small spoiler, and put all of the graphs in it for easier comparison.

Compare Everyone!

I just thought I would bring these up since I was already checking out the forum stats. I found it moderately sad.

We have 45.5 pages of members with NO posts. In total, there are 451 members with at least 1 post. That is 24.8% of our members. Only 178 posters have 10 or more posts (a minuscule amount of posts). That is 39.4% of our posters with 1+ posts, and 9.8% of our entire member population. To go even further, only 82 members have crossed the 50+ post line. Once more, that is 18.1% of the posters with 1+ posts, and 4.5% of all members. Here is everything I just said, laid out

Number of posts # of members %of posters %of total members
1+ 451 100% 24.8%
10+ 178 39.4% 9.8%
50+ 82 18.1% 4.5%

So, perhaps WIP and the other admins should get to deleting unused accounts? Or find a way to up post counts? Perhaps a discussion can occur in this post.

So, feel free to discuss.

So, I just wanted to make a nice helpful topic, so here it is. TONS OF TUTS FOR YOU! BTW I realize many of these are from the same sites, I just simply weeded through them and only put up the worthy ones. Enjoy

That's all for now, maybe I will add more another time. Hopefully someone finds this useful, it took forever. For more tutorials, look under the tutorial section of RMN, or check out the other tutorials from those sites. Also, I am aware that the number of 2K/2K3 tutorials far overweighs the others, however many of them can be done in the other makers, so you should consider checking them out.

Enjoy

So, I just realized it is the first of june, which means that school is so close to being out. With that said, does anyone have any special plans already for summer?

I myself will be sitting at home just hanging out most days, but I do know I will be going to see my step-uncle, and possibly my step-grandmother (yes, there is a lot of "Step" in this family).

I think this came up a while ago, but I feel the need to post it anyways.

I have been thinking for the last little while about making a game with stealth aspects (that's all I am saying for now) however I have been having trouble deciding how to do line of sight. There will be moving guards, and I need them to have a way of seeing you, and also a way of determining if there is a wall in front of them before you. As a quick example of what I mean: X = enemy Y = You # = objects

X Y - Sees you
X # Y - Needs to not see you

Any ideas how I could do this? I have thought of certain ways, such as making event grids, so for instance, when the player steps on certain parts of the guards route, it will change a variable, and then when a guard makes it to a certain corner, and turns, it will check to see if that variable equals a certain value. Hopefully that made some sense.

But with that out of the way, any ideas?
