Yep, I'm back.

So I messed up on the u-primitives thing by using ds_lists, well, I've fixed that.

There seems to be a bit of controversy over whethere designing my own functions to replicate registered functions is okay.

Lets go back to the "fake particle" craze - which brought up the question of whether or not Mark Overmars either A) was against replicating registered functions B) Didn't care or C) was glad that someone was coming up with their own scripts. I believe Mark stated that he did not really care, because we we weren't actually a registration key, just being smart enough to use what we could. I'm not quite sure what was exactly stated, but I know there was a general air of acceptance that stuff like this would happen.

Also, let us not forget that although it performs exactly like the registered, it is still slower, because GML is an interpreter. I say it is best to be registered.

Also, anyone with ingenuity could have done what I did, it only took a little bit of effort to make the u-scripts.


My camping trip was very good. I had chili-dogs, went swimming, got caught in the rain, and I wrenched my knee popping wheelies on my hybrid bike.

How?

I wheelied so far I flipped. Or more specifically, the bike flipped, I didn't. I tried to hold the bike so it wouldn't get damaged, and my knee bent sideways, so yeah, I was limping.

SJF is still in his week of silence - not a peep. Should we taunt him? It would sort of be like bearbaiting…

Blooharhar!

It's good to be back.


So what has happened while I was gone? Fill me in!

Umm there was a whole bunch of blogs saying how bad the GMC is and the retards that like DOTD (Drink Tea or Die). Well welcome back. Also did you make your fox sprite or did someone else do it.

No matter what scripts yo uuse you wont be able to fully replicate all the registered functions (alpha, dll) so its really in no danger from a couple functions being possible. I think thats why mark isnt worried.

image_alpha is an unregistered function. 0_o

^^ Yeah.

KaBob799 18 years, 5 months ago

meh not every function that involves alpha is non-memb, but you get my point right? somethings are impossible to replicate. Like online multiplayer.

What about alpha blending? You gonna find a workaround for that?

Eternal 18 years, 5 months ago

Yes, actually, with my genious, I found the perfect work around for alpha blending <a href=http://www.gamemaker.nl/registration.html>here</a href>
