You have assumed a snake shape! You can now move at a speed of roughly three of your body units per ~100ms or so. Yes. This is a rough value indeed.

Shall we define a unit of speed? One body unit per 100ms sounds good. What shall we call it?

Herpderp looks like weekends are flash update days

[Squornshellous Beta]

Bah fine I'll just command it myself then!

What now?

[PumpkinAppearifier]

Try Goiing vertical halfway down your shape?

NO!

Contact that guy and tell him you remembered how to change your shape!

There was pretty much no way that wasn't going to fail embarrassingly.

Contact that guy and tell him you remembered how to change your shape!

You cannot remember how to respond!

[mythLeader]

Wait... aren't we in the middle of a Strife right now?

We're twice as big as the guy that attacked us, so...

>ATTACK

Or better yet, if possible,

>ABSORB

Or, if he didn't attack us and we just automatically go to the strife scene whenever we meet someone and diplomacy is still an option (not clear on that),

>ARTICULATE

That was easy.

You add the spoils of victory to your body. That is, you gain two segments.

If you get in a STRIFE, you're being attacked and diplomacy's out the window. You'd be in a conversation if it was still an option.

Also, experimenting with alpha stuff in flash.

Nameless is officially out of the Cradle! Thanks for making it possible, guys. And let's hope it keeps on going. =3

[redaeth]

Try to see if you can form a triangle out of one of your blocks. Otherwise proceed north more.

[Armok]

Develop a more effient means of locomotion, like so:

 XXXX
    X
  31231231231231
  2            2
  13213213213213
GROUNDGROUNDGROUND

X=manipulator arm
123=move by moving segments into each other place so that this series cycles

(Didn't bother to get the number of segments right since it scales anyway)

Hmm, looks like these aren't going to work. Perhaps you should check out why.

You open Reform.exe's help document.

All body segments must be connected by at least one side to another segment.

A shape must lay its widest side on the ground.

Only symmetrical shapes can successfully move.

Huh. Now what?

[Mutoh]

Look for pixel buddies. You are starting to feel alone in all this dark.

[Armok]

How about this:

number=width

1:

11
333
groundground

2:

31
331
groundground

3:
3
31
31
groundground

4:
*fall*
11
333
groundground

1:

11
333
groundground

(You shuld really give that flash app export to string and multiple shapes in looping sequence fetures. Uploading images is way to much work for just aking a sugestion that might not even be accepted.)

You don't know of this strange emotion of lonliness.
Also, most every creature on these plains is hostile.

I don't know what that is >> still new to flash and actionscript.

Sorry, no images or flashes today.

[Armok]

Those don't have anything to do with the specific language you're using. The export would simply record the way the user has moved the blocks around as a segment of text that the user can copy into a post. The sequences thing is for animations by saving multiple states and automatically switching between them in a predetermined order.

While you're at it, maybe add something to make them snap to grid as well.

[shores79]

Suddenly orange dots, orange dots everywhere, a whole TWO of them!

I'll look into that. If you know of any tutorials on the subject, that would be fantastic.
As to the snap-to-grid, I tried that with the very first version but it was too annoying in the end product. I wonder if it'll work better with these 30*30*15 blocks. (EDIT: Testing says yes, it works a lot better with these blocks.)

Update later, just popping in to say hai~

[Armok]

Just look up how to create a textbox what the user can select and type in. Then when pressing some button just put the position of each block into that text box, and if it clicks another button try to read the positions entered and move the blocks to that.

[Squornshellous Beta]

It would be a lot easier if I was walked through this step-by-step >> I am still entirely new to this.

North seems like a good way to keep going and OH you bashed into an orange guy. Time to attack it as easy as the green guy.

...

...

...

OH GOD WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING

[redaeth]

Attempt to seperate the two orange blocks from one another. Perhaps applying pressure by adding more blocks above the left one and more under the right one then using the extra blocks to exert pressure in those directions. Seperating them should weaken it.

[Nucklechuts]

ABSCOND.

You cannot seperate its body segments! Only an organism that has willingly used Reform.exe can seperate its body segments.

Yeah, getting away from this thing seems like the best option. And it doesn't seem to pose a threat anyWAUGH WHAT

[redaeth]

Yikes! Use attacks.exe.

[Squornshellous Beta]

It calls up a sub-folder with what appears to be two inventory slots, one labelled "physical attack" and one labelled "ranged attack". You figure you can probably give the attacks attributes of any items you come across. As soon as you get hold of some.
