Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

God only knows what you lot are on about, but anyway Mark, I for one am well impressed with the origami yoda. :D :notworthy: I've got a 'pattern' for an Alien, but it's hard as f**k. I'll stick to me frogs. :lol:

EMWK - have you been trading jokes with my Dad? :notworthy: ...

A US fighter plane over Iraq is stunned to see a local on a flying rug appear alongside his plane. Then another appears on the other side. Panicking, he pulls a loop manoeuvre, gets them in his sights and blows them to kingdom come.

When he radios-in this bizarre event, he is berated by control.

'You fool, you've just shot the Allied Carpets!'

See, you have haven't you? :urff: ;D

Black belt at origami, me.

Although with it being a first attempt, I did f**k up a bit on Yoda's fingers. :|

Doing a Manic Miner conversion. Trying to make it play as much like the Spectrum version as possible, but updating the graphics.

Room 1 (Central Cavern) background taken from a screenshot from ZX Spectrum emulator version:

It's still in progress; I need to work some bugs out of the collision detection and redraw all the sprites from the cacky little Spectrum graphics.

I should have guessed from the furtive expression and terrifying shirts you were an emufreak, Marky. :wink:

Impressive work nonetheless! Massacring the innocence of Spectrum for the graphic whoring of modern gaming. You cad!

Well, if I can get the b@stard to work properly... Sometimes Willy just stands in mid-air and doesn't fall when he's supposed to, and sometimes he won't walk on platforms that are there. And sometimes the guardians kill him when he's nowhere near them. :|

It's an extreme case of Friday Afternoon can't-be-arsed-itis at the moment though.

It's a fookin' excellent game though (the original I mean) , just let down by the speccy's graphics "capability". Plus if I do get it finished, it'll teach me some stuff for making my own games, which I'd quite like to do.

You've seen the Manic32 version I assume Mark? Quite old by now I guess, and more or less a straight copy of the original.

In your version, for the love of all that is right and proper, put a savegame facility in. There's a good boy. :wink:

And looking damn good so far. :notworthy:
