The Nuclear USSR [Version 7]

If your going more towards dont starve you still dont have the art in the right perspective. You should still see the tops of things, and go behind objects and be hidden by them. But regardless art shouldnt be at the top of your todo list.

this is a pic of how the cut-scene may look like in the new version, i may also add some story line to it

How does one "procced"?

Pretty good job, Davidobot and Jjmafiae! I mean, what the others in this thread still applies, but you're definitely pushing yourselves beyond the bounds of what you're used to. Test yourself and you learn tricks to help you do better along the way!

Don't be discouraged; I've worked on a LOT of projects since I've started programming (9 years ago or so) and not one of them was completed. But I learned! Each time, a better understanding of how to structure things in order to make them bigger and better. I think that's what you guys are doing now - getting a better grasp on the language and the structure, which is EXTREMELY important, for projects of all sizes - moreso for larger ones, like yours. Heed the advice in this thread though, most of it is spot on!

it would take long time to change the whole bullet and weapon system, i might look at this later on

BAD. Holding off of fixing things is the worst possible thing you can do with programming; the longer you wait, the more complex it gets, the more things that rely on the current structure of the code. And when that happens, it just becomes that more difficult to change.
 
 
 
 

The player still moves faster diagonally. You still die from zombies while in a tank. You still have a massive amount of stuff loading for no reason. I still started with out a gun. Nothing from the users point of view has really changed, I personaly would hold off giving "updates" untill the issues that the user will see are fixed.

On a completely different note, I have a question about loading. Say I have an array that has 10,000 definitions, but I don't need all of the definitions at once. How can I selectively load only the definitions I need? I was thinking a function with the world's longest if..then..elseif statement but that seems kinda.. bad.

Im adding sqlite3 to my project just for that problem . But for your definitions array i would create a function that takes in any number of arguments and use that to search for the ones i want in that array, and return the results. 10,000 might take a while to loop thru and im sure theres things you could do to speed it up, like in as3 looping backwards is faster then fowards.

[Helvecta]

D'aw, but that means I'd still have to define it all at some point before I need it, which I assume registers it and sucks up memory (Disregard my lack of understanding regarding the fine details of the language). Maybe sqlite is a good place to look for answers, though.

I expected nothing less from that ass-backwards language

(Thanks for the help!)

What do you mean by 'definitions'? And by 'load'? The answer is going to vary wildly based on the details. (And my answer isn't going to be sqlite.)
