what game? i don't see anything. also, nobody is stealing your idea, they will only borrow it, modify it and add their own name to the copyright. ;)

Well now that shockwave is installed (why do I have a Yahoo toolbar now!?!)
Seems interesting.
I don't understand why you didn't use Java for the whole thing though.... also the premise seems a bit something I dunno. I guess for the youth if it isn't based on grand theft auto it just doesn't have the right zing.
Anyway overall well done I would say....
Now if I could only get rid of that toolbar...

I could have a try, once you manage to convince Macromedia write a plugin for Linux. http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#spIn the meantime you could consider using some platform independent technology such as Macromedia Flash or Java.

I think this is why I uninstalled flash in the first place...
My only other comment is could you make the loop around the bank smaller... it kind of boggs down waiting for it to go around. Maybe like 3 or something?
TheWelshmana at 2007-7-20 19:39:43 >
i thought 50 seconds to rob a bank was too short as it was30 would really be taking the micky
TheWelshmana at 2007-7-20 19:39:43 >
well thankyou scsi-boy for your thoughts, looks like everyone else has given up on it. not as clever as you and i.
TheWelshmana at 2007-7-20 19:39:43 >
anyone else wanna try the adrees again is http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/students/03077292/java.htmyou will need shockwave installed
