The user you all knew as Sanjeev98, is a 12 year old.
===
Newgrounds has been a wonderful experience for me, from the time I joined when I was 10, to now, and I've made a lot of friends ever since, and also racked up some enemies, although they're not enemies anymore.
It might be strange but~~~~
(Brrip sound effect)

Wait a second; I'm not leaving this site and I will never, what the hell were you thinking?
Also, that's (12 year old thing) set to change, as my birthday's on the 10th of this month (june)

This is a repost of my 35th entry, mainly because I don't know how to reorder blog entries.

====
I think I might not be joining the game jam (as I never did) for one or more reasons:

(o) I'm too busy (school starts on the 13th and it had to be on 19th)
(o) My coding skills aren't that good (I don't know what is acceptable though)
(o) I don't know anything about the game jam (except that I have to make a game, duh)
(o) Most likely teams will reject my offer (either found a better replacement or just think I'm too bad)
(o) There might be slots for programmers that are already filled

Still, I've just PMed tri-circle (rather ToastedToastyToast) and even though I know he's a programmer, I'll just see what happens, whether he'll accept or not, because I don't know how good he is compared to me (likely better than me)

So, for now I'm kinda hanging in the balance. Only time will tell what happens.

And erryone cares Sad thing is that it's false :D

I finally removed the Win32/VIRUT.AN virus, cue AVG's virut remover rmvirut.exe and Safe mode with networking...
The problem was that I had to install a different copy of XP (Home instead of Professional) on a different partition because the existing one was corrupted due to a faulty SP3 installation...

Next time, I'll try Linux if I have to, but thankfully I don't.

there's a virus on my laptop; I'll have yet to see if it's removed.

Now that I learned 0.1/50 of as3, lemme just practice my skills on a game :P
Littered with event listeners, here's one screenshot:

AS3 game

So far, so good: Learning Actionscript 3.0 really helped me a lot, now I'm finally understanding classes :D
It's really tough, but once you get the hang of it, it's really easy. But I didn't get the hang of it yet, it's slowly coming :)
Anyone who wants to start or migrate to AS3 better read this book.

Note: AS3's learning curve is steeper only if you dig yourself into a trench in AS2 (direct quote by a user), which is exactly what happened to me, but I'm slowly increasing my knowledge in it...;)

I'm finished with 12 levels out of 18, the beta testing is reaching the near end...
...but sadly I just can't finish toying around with mount and blade.

If you haven't already, read my previous post.

So, now since it's in the RC3 phases, I've spotted many bugs and got a lot of suggestions, thanks to the beta testers who signed up.
If you want to join, there is still time to do so.

CREDITS:
Asandir [major contrib., beta tester]
Coop [beta tester]
Me [All else :D ]

Now, I've managed to fix bugs:
* Chainsaw falls after level retry
* Lines drawn by mouse disappear after some time
* Retry ends up in botched operations
- (Removed) Clock timer
* Changed time from 12 seconds to 5
* Switched from setInterval to onEnterFrame();
+ Added intro, yet to be implemented
+ Changed some fonts
