Oh well the only things we programmed were boring things like spell checkers, online stores, and boring assembly crap.

I remember back in grade 10 the teacher (who I strongly believe has a superiority complex) told us for the ISU we were going to make a game. And I made javanoid and it was awesome, then he said we had to make who wants to be a millionaire.

Anyways, that teacher is really really mean and makes kids hit each other when they do something stupid. Hard. Or they have to do it again.

He was also canned from IBM. What a n00b.

There's a way to get around the legal system.

I have a backup of the final I had for VB class. It's a software emulation of an old flipper toy/game. The thing does require basic knowledge as the flipper changes every time a marble goes through, not terribly easy when there are 8 flippers you have to keep in mind.

If you want it I'll send it to you. It's a quick and not very impressive game but it's something that will get the job done.

I just uploaded a new demo, check it out (Theres two maps now!)

I decided to go with a 2D remake of Majora's Mask.

Right now tho, I'm puzzled on how to add a save/load system, and the battle system is kinda buggy (I didnt include it in this build)

UPDATE:

Ok, i was working on this harder, fixing bugs, etc. In the next demo you will be able to reach Clocktown (And you will be a deku) Lately it's been so hard finding sprites, and music, but I have found all I need for a while.

Still need a Save/Load System....but oh well. You can't save in Zelda Majora's Mask until you have your sword anyway

wow, you have a problem if you can't figure out you need to type in the 3 letters and click download

ItÂ´s stil pretty glitchy though. I got stuck and it kept opening random windows. And once I got stuck when I just started. Just walking on the path.

did not see that

I have a simple fix to the windows opening issue....i was kinda just too lazy to fix it

I have no idea what is going on with the whole getting stuck thing. I'll be glad to upload my code if anyone wants to help.

UPDATE: Added some animations to the Profile, and a "2D Story Intro" Download on front page. Oh yea, if you goto the Clocktower, the moon will fall.

Right now I'm mapping Clocktown (South Clocktown right now)

The moon falling kinda does suck.

Just a suggestion. Don't use timers for time-specific things.

On a faster computer, the text will go too fast to read. On a slower one it'll go very very slowly.

It's fine on this computer (512 RAM, 2 GHZ).

There is a way to use the computer's clock as a timer, so you can get second-specific timing done.

Well it works fine on mine, yours, and all of my school's computers.....and honestly, it only needs to work on the schools.

I'm sorry if it lags bad on some people's computers. I could change the code i suppose....idk how to do what you said tho

Ok, i finally fixed the bug where you get stuck to objects for no reason, and you can now Save/Load (But don't expect much, it's just basic)

But, I now have a new more annoying bug. Sometimes, a form will just randomly appear for some reason. Usually every first 5 seconds of form switching. Can i please ask, why?

Can anyone help me? If so, I'll PM you with a link to the source code and you can check it out and see whats going on.

Other than that, I mapped All of ClockTown, except for the insides mostly, and the Mask Salesman doesn't say anything and he isn't transparent. I want to fix most of the bugs and get the main code done before i go crazy on mapping and quest making.

Anyways, that's about it
