GAMEOVERGAMES PRODUCTIONS'S PROFILE

The way it sounds to me is that Windows 7 is as bad as or worse than Vista. Most RM games I play work comfortably in Vista so I don't think I want to upgrade now.

It's not as bad as Vista at launch, that I can pretty much agree with; but the amount of hoops I had to jump in order to get things running well is rather ridiculous considering how reliable XP has been for me, a dated product. (Progression usually means going FORWARD, not down and then sideways)

I have grown fond of how reliable XP is. So instead of upgrading to a newer operating system, I've used Virtualbox's support for 64-bit guest OSs in a 32-bit host for the past two years.

edit: i.e. virtualization is the solution to 67.345% of everything

So, I made an ice particle (geared towards icicles!), tweaked plant growth a bit, made water move sideways slightly better (still not happy with it yet), and moved the menu items down a couple of pixels to help with accidentally selecting things while drawing close to the bottom. I uploaded a new build with the changes to RMN.

The wind generator would be tricky to code, mainly to make it not use up to much processing power, but I might work on something like it. It'd require some major changes to the way I'm handling some parts of the particle movement though, so it's not to likely though.

The next time I get some free time I'll sit down and code a particle/particle spawner toggler.

Hey, I like the spawn toggle idea. Don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place!

I realize that some particles don't behave exactly like the did in the original sand game. I've been planning on going back at some point and tweaking everything until they do.

Yay, my night was lacking a spectator sport.
