Eternally Damned MSPaint

Posted by DesertFox on Dec. 5, 2006, 3:39 p.m.

I am making a website. It really sucks graphicswise, because I don't have flash nor fireworks, but the layout is great, and my crappy buttons aren't that crappy. Its just that they are all made in eternally damned MSPaint which I can't do buttons or anything in.

I can pixel, and I can do flash somewhat, but buttons in MSPaint? I'm totally screwed.

Someone here on 64D called Mast3rmind, SJF, Rob, and flashback retards because they wouldn't help him. He was asking for DnD help…

A key element in designing a platformer is <i>gravity</i> - oh so important, when your character goes up, you want him to come back down. It is really easy to implement gravity, right? Especially because there is a <i>variable called "gravity"</i>? Wrong.

Seriously, cmon people…

*GASP* Two of the best game series I've ever played were both written by the same person, with crappy graphics. Yahtzee created <a href="http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/1213/">1213</a> and <a href="http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/1213/">1213</a> and the Trilby series, 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, and Trilby's Notes. Interesting, fun, with bad graphics on some, better on others, these games have kickass storylines and are definitely worth playing. The 1213 series is like Prince of Persia, and the Trilby Series is a point'n'click type series - though it changes in each of the 3 games. Worth downloading - I enjoyed them very much.

So I am making my own website. I've checked the URL that I want, and it is available - not even the "buy this domain name" type of pages that you sometimes get. So: I am looking for a cheap, fast host, and a good place to register my domain name. Is there any way to register a domain name once, and not have to pay again? So yeah, my website sucks graphically, I can't make good website buttons. I don't have flash nor fireworks, and doing website graphics in MSPaint sucks - its fine for games, but not for websites.

CSS makes it easy to replace/change the graphics though. So whoopee for me.

Anyone here good at website design? I know HTML and thats it - no PHP/Mysql. I expect the basic layout to be up on my RIT college site soon. Then I can link to it and have you all gaze at my crappiness.

Someone gimme Fireworks! NOW DAMMIT! So yeah, hopefully, I can persuade my parents in Texas that they are a neccessity for class, and get them to pay for it somewhat. Probably not.

Oh, and I haven't eaten since 2PM yesterday. I'm still not hungry

I know PHP and Mysql, but I suck at design. Thats why Chigger designed my site [:D]

Whats your site, Kaz, I want to check it out - perhaps I can get Chigger to help me out.

I'm currently switching hosts so only the index page completely works. Plus I'm redoing some things I made when I was a PHP noob.

You don't pwn at design, your site is extremely simple, although it looks ok.
