12- hour time limit per riddle (when this time is up anyone may post the next riddle)
Note: many riddle resources can be found on-line to choose from
The first riddle is:
It has been around for millions of years but is no more than a month old. What is it?
Infarction:
You are correct that this ^ was initially posted. Is this what you are referring to? This made sense in the beginning but after reconsideration I thought it might be best to make a change to these parameters. Time-zones, member online presence, etc creates confusion at times it seems which is understandable. We all get impatient and I hoped to rectify this by eliminating a turn-based system. I would prefer orderly turns, actually, but it does not seem to work out so well.
And, I concur, it is not worth an argument whatsoever. ;) Just post a bloody riddle. :)
hm, so if someone posts a guess, then goes away for the day/night and doesnt find out for a few hours whether or not they were right, then the riddle poster confirms their answer, and the solver still hasn't returned, they lose their turn?
You really do just want another spam thread, don't you?
Huh? :confused: Did you read my post thoroughly? Seems not. There are no turns in a static sense. I want a spam thread? I do not even know what you mean by this? I want this game to flow and be fun without having to monitor people worrying about turns and rules. :eek:
Anyway, anyone that wishes to play this game, please do. ;)
I am new to Macromedia Flash. I have been building some simple movies and games via tutorials and experimenting with Actionscript; I am looking for the method to display an image dynamically against a background upon user-input, say, via mouse selection on an element upon the screen (I have this bit down, mouse input-- I just simply need now to fire an image in response to the mouse input and render it upon the screen in a predeteremined area of the stage).
I have found many tutorials (most poorly-written) and reference material online. I am hacking around and taking apart some Actionscript hoping to discover how to accomplish this image painting.
I am not asking for the code directly, only a link to a well-written tutorial, an Actionscript game + source to take apart, or just a shove in the proper direction. I am already really enjoying Flash and I see that it holds massive potential to me as a programmer\designer\artist.
I am going to amend a portion of the rules for all our sakes:
There is no official, turn-based manner to proceed with posting new riddles; whoever answers the riddle correctly can post a new riddle if they so choose in a reasonable amount of time (a few hours). If someone else sees the thread stopped, that is, a riddle has been answered and confirmed as correct with no new riddle posted, that person may freely post a new riddle if they so choose.
You get friends, geniuses, trouble-shooters, hackers, video-game addicts, and some slackers along with some individuals of a **coughs questionable nature . :p;)
This is the classic symptom of an oversubscribed ad server.
The server has more requests for ads coming in than it can handle. It backs up, forcing webpage readers to wait, and often causing the ad or the page to return a 404 not found error.
Thank-you for your reply ;) ; interesting. I learn something new everyday on Daniweb. :)

I have the same fascination. You can tell a lot about someone by their desktop and workspace.
Here is mine from a few months ago (but its still the same). I'm not a fan of having icons on the desktop - I just use the desktop as a 'to do' list because anything sat on there pisses me of so I do it and clean up.
Nice and clean. Good way to manage your working projects, a "To-do" list then clean it up. I hate clutter and I spend too much time (or maybe not enough) sorting assets for projects, folders-in-folders, etc. I have yet to find the perfect system for how I work.
Don't ask me why, but I enjoy seeing screenshots of other's desktops; I came upon a graphics site some time back that included a forum dedicated to just this. It tells me a lot about a person.
Please capture your desktop and post it for all to see.

Wait It isn't so great Since you learned karate chop You're walking machs And I'm just swimming in the slop You wave your wand at me And make me dance flip-flop I want to sing for you And make your head go pop
