I'll have to take another look when I get time... maybe tonight if I get my work finished early.

I'm also trying to get a menu system sorted in AppGameKit for the App Developers Group, we are producing a set of games in AppGameKit for charity

By the way. The Myth was that he failed high school, not 2nd grade. But Einstein did NOT fail math or school. That's a myth. He was exceptional at math.

The only thing he failed at was the non-science subjects of which his mother helped him succeed in.

If you would like to know more about Einstein here is an article published by Karl S. Kruszelnicki from ABC Science.

Just because ABC says that, does NOT mean it's true. Infact, it's DEMEANING! I can't STAND people who can't stand the fact that yes, MAYBE Einstein DID have a disability. People who put down people with disabilities make me SICK! ANYways, back ON topic now that THAT's outta my system. -.-

I think you're getting Einstein confused with Rainman.

I'm not exactly sure why you think people are putting down people with disabilities here, but that is just one website I pointed at. There is all kinds of info about Einstein. Just do some research and you'll see the truth of the matter.

As for rainman, I loved the movie. I think that Dustin played the part well.

The article seems pretty well informed actually and with a little research I found it backed up in various places like here and here...

Einstien himself is reported as commenting on the rumour by saying
Quote: "I never failed in mathematics… Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus."

(15 was the age in Germany that most qualified students would start to learn calculus.)

None of this is "demeaning" in any way towards disabled people. It would be nice to have it as an example of what disabled people can accomplish but there are many other (true) examples of this.

Nobody is putting you or Einstien down and he may not have even had aspergers from what I've read, although he did reportedly display some of the general characteristics of the syndrome.

[on topic]
I haven't had a chance to take a look at the code yet, have you tried again? Perhaps if you post your full current code I can point you in the right direction (or your player at least)

...and yes, Dustin Hoffman is by far one of the best / the best actor of his generation. To him it's a craft, and good craftsmanship always shows through!

I did ask a question, I was waiting for a reply...

Glitch implies it doesn't work the way I wanted it to

Have you tried it yourself? Can I take a look at your efforts?

Yes, I tried. and I think I already posted it above. About all the reversing of the pluses and minuses and such.

How are you compiling this? There are no objects being loaded / created and you haven't even commented out the sub-routines / functions you aren't using...

Simple. I put it in the already compiled folder you put up as a download

OK then... and where is the code you changed? I can't see what you've actually tried from this. I'm a little suspicious you did nothing as you don't seem to have tried applying it to your own problem at all.

If I were trying to overcome a problem and someone presented me with some code I would try integrating it in my own code. I don't see any evidence that you did anything other than reverse a few values.

I assume then that you have Enhanced Animations and DarkLights as well as all the other necessary plugins?

I'm willing to help as you can see by my efforts here but I don't see much effort on your own part with the code I gave you. Please prove me wrong?

I put it in the downkey section. If you're so skeptical, why not take a look at the difference between the upkey and the downkey.

I have two problems with what you have just said:
1-I don't use "upkey" or "downkey" anywhere in my code
2-The only code you have posted is the "Walking Forward" code which is utterly unchanged from the code I posted and the main file which as well as being unchanged from what I posted is also completely irrelevant

That's why I'm skeptical.

You keep saying you want to learn but you don't show any effort to try things out yourself. I'm spending a lot of time I don't have trying to help you but getting nothing in return, not even the satisfaction that you are trying to learn rather than just getting someone else to code for you.

If you haven't tried it yourself just say, "I couldn't work out what to do" or whatever the honest answer is.

Please don't patronise me, you haven't touched the code you have posted just randomly selected parts of it to try to get me to write it for you, I'm not as stupid as I look you know...

This may be considered a flame but I have really tried to help you to learn here and I feel like you are taking liberties.

My code taken from the download above:


'Your' code taken from your post above:

Can you see any differences?

Quote: "i meant the W key and the D key. sorry"

Easy mistake I guess...

Quote: "stop being so **** critial"

I'm not seeing anything 'to be critical about', what I'm being is frustrated at a lack of reciprocation.

I've seen your posts on other people's threads and I know you are smart enough, I just want to see you work this out. All you are trying to do is change the angle the character is moving when he's "Walking Backward" [/clue] I've given you the rest.

I'm trying not to loose the last few drops of my patience.

I have to say, Baxslash is one of the more giving and one of the kindest people I have met on this forum. He has not said or done anything that calls for your blatant disrespect Mugen. I am shocked you have not been banned from this forum yet. I have seen you repeatedly time and time again talk this way to others. Look at all your posts and you'll know what I am referring too. You even treated me this way wanting me to "fix" your code when it came to a shader problem I found for you. And you were wanting me to fix it for you. And you were not happy that I could not fix it because I do not hardly know anything about shaders. And now your doing the same thing and having the same attitude toward baxslash. I do not see you lasting long on this forum.

Jack Dawson, stop hijacking my thread. And baxslash, I do apologize, But what I will NOT apologize for is you criticizing me that I'm not doing anything. I tried to edit the D key myself, and obviously you don't see that. So you know what, mods? Close this thread. I'm SICK of feeling like I'm in a god **** court house with you guys. Constantly -.-

Thanks for the kind words for me JD, I appreciate them.

MW there is a reason for the reaction you often get and it's not entirely unjustified, but if you want to solve these problems and learn to code then you might need to listen to the reactions as much as / even more than the coding advice.

If you would rather quit on this problem then that's up to you but at least try to understand why you get the reaction you get. It's nothing personal people have against you or your condition it's just that people have an accepted way of communicating on these forums that you don't stick to and it grates people.

Once you understand that and try to speak in a way that is considered acceptable you can become a very welcome person in ANY discussion here.

No problem bro. I have seen you repeatedly try to help others. I have a lot of respect for you.

Look up the definition of Hi-Jacking a thread. It means that you come into a thread and change the subject completely. I have done no such thing here. I read what is going on and I responded accordingly.

And I have alot of respect for you. But what frusterates me is the fact that you guys always treat me like I'm in a court room. And I'm not even IN a court room. I do NOT respect that.

Look, its not that we are trying to treat you this way. Its not that at all. But what we are trying to help you understand is that HOW you communicate with others is JUST as important as giving and needing help.

You have some interesting ideas. But its how you speak to people that really gets people bent out of shape here. Be kind and you will receive kindness back.

JD is right, we aren't trying to give you a hard time just asking you to be polite. You could get a lot of respect for your ideas and your work, but in fact if there weren't people trying to steer you in the right direction you might have been kicked off the forums already.

I'm sorry if I make you feel like you're in a court room, that's the last thing I want... I come here to help people and to add to my own private life, not to make people feel bad.

It's ok. Now that that is out of the way (hopefully), did you take a look at the W & D key lines? I know I changed it because it made the D key glitch even worse than what it was before I edited it.

Sorry, been busy... why not have another go and then show me what you tried. It's not that I'm being lazy, it's just that I'm up to my ears in getting my website sorted / making a charity game, running a community group as well as writing newsletter articles every month, doing a full time job, working till midnight on CAD every night and still trying to do housework / maintenance and have a family life (I'll stop there before I really start to get a headache!)

I really haven't had a chance, sorry! I miss the days when I was affluent single and living in a nice hot country...

If you could do that while I sort some other stuff out I'll take a really good look at your efforts and point you in the right direction if you can't work it out.
