Title: Room Shaking
Post by: Corby on May 01, 2003, 10:26:45 PM
How do you make the room shake such as in space quest scenes when things explode?

You mean shake screen.

shake.screen(number);

Unfortunately certain interpreter  _s t i l l_  doesn't support this feature....Hmmm..(not implying anything)  ::)

Hehe. I've also had that thought a while ago. I think, the general effort of programming NAGI was really huge and with big projects (especially when the author works on it in his spare time) some details always get left out.

On the other hand, however, NAGI is the by far the greatest and most flexible AGI-interpreter around, so why not make a number 1 product absolutely perfect  ;D

I guess the shake.screen function is quite hard to program. Nick will have to tell us.

Well I beleive Sarien can do it(not 100% shure... just think it does) so it shouldn't be too hard to do considering how much Nick has done with NAGI so far.

What really sucks is that I can't play AGI games in XP without NAGI... so I can't see the screen shaking anymore because I can't use the original interpreter. :(

probably not that hard.. just haven't got around to it yet.

(really annoyed though.. was planning on doing some work on it during Easter but the computer is still waiting for spare parts)

ok.. I got most of my dev tools working again and I've hacked together a shake.screen finally.  I'll see what else I can add and release a new version one day.

Finally.. the scene where Roger gets knocked out in Space Quest 2 has more impact. :)

Are you finnish? If not then, he isn't talking about you. :P

He might be talking about himself? Kon-tiki is finnish right?

Wheee! Finally! Now there's a whole new meaning for life!

Aye, if he is a finnish guy he certainly speaks finnish in very odd dialect  ;)

What, other than trying to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations?


That's news to me ;)

Kon-Tiki is finnish?!?!?!?

I certainly hope not, 'cause we're compatriots, and I don't know a single Finnish word! :o ::) :P

Chris, I took you for a more intelligent person. For a programmer, it's a pretty weird logic you used. I myself am from Belgium, like everybody knows already. The Finnish guy I was talking about is Sami. It should've been pretty obvious.
Now don't make such dumb presumptions anymore, or I'll hack your toaster ;)

You never told me where you lived... so how was I supposed to know? :P

He started the Dutch topic, that might have been a clue.
