once i get the fellfrosch game working i'll probaly start adding all the reviewers.  so Tage can be next.

ya they are.  But first we're going to do a simple one so I can figure out the code.  then we can move to more advanced ones.

well we're still finshing this game up and it's takeing up a lot of my time.  but we'll start planning a shooter game.  more like a shooting gallery game.  but sence that game is going to be very graphicaly intense compared to the droid game I can't give any type of date.  Then after that i'm tossing around a few ideas in my head and i'll decide after i've started the shooter game.

ya we're working on them the main problem is we can't just import gifs or clipart sence they are not vector graphics we have to trace over them.  so it takes a while.

Ok I got it up, you were right EUOL.  Tage gave 42 a ftp password.  i took us a few minutes to figure out that we only have access to the games folder.  we were kinda shocked that when we connected we found no files on the site.  Anyhow I'm just going to post the link here for now, once me and 42 finish a few more things you can make a link to the main site.

also on the buggs needed to be fixed metioned in another posts....I fixed the problem with the Torso not being on top, now it is.  currently there are no accessories avalible.  Me and 42 are still working on how we are going to work them and what they will be.

the link is http://www.timewastersguide.com/games/droid.html

i have and admin login, how do you get to the ftp section???  humm ok 42's going to try to connect via dreamweaver's ftp program, if it works well upload it and make link here.
Also EUOL, Tage is up there in IF right now maybe you can talk to him.  i don't think he's comming back untill sunday night.

ack couldn't sleep at all last night so i finished the program.  this is a beta version.  First off know issues:
1) yes i know there's no color.  i'm trying to figure out how to let the user set the color.
2) yes i know that there are only 2 robots.  I said four but we ended up only doing two for now.
3) the items are layers in the order that you choose them from the bottem up, i suggest you choose the torso last (or you can delete the torso and reselect it).  I'll try and find a way to make the torso allwayse on top.
4) yes the white background is ugly we're working on it.
5) there will eventualy be an option to turn the music on and off.
6) I will be adding sound effects such as clanking metal and drill sounds.
7) I'm trying to work out a way to let you scale and rotate each item.  I've got something but it might take a while.
I will be changeing the menu system to allow for more items and make it look cooler.

if you have any other suggestions or ideas post them here or let me know via e-mail.

Well as soon as 42 does the artwork out first flash game will be done.  Make your own Droid is the first simple game.  it will allow you to custamise a droid from different selections (Head, torso, right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, and accesories)  you can select the different parts from a menu and then place them on your droid how you like.  Right now there will only be 4 different droid parts avalible in each section (accesories may have more), we do plan to add more later and intergrate a final "stats" screen and maybe let you print it out with the picture.  But I need to realy work on figureing out all that code.  I've allready spent about 4 hours on this program.  anyway sence i can't draw 42's doing the art work and we may accept submissions to be placed in the program.  so hopefully it will be up tomorrow.
