_ULTIMATE TUTORIAL 2_

"Best tutorial on the site."

date: February 11, 2005

A lot of the tutorials I've seen are either too specific (like one technique that can only be used in Flash MX) or are so basic that they're almost useless. Your tutorial on the other hand is has quite a lot to offer and very helpful.

However, in the Newgrounds section, I did notice a few mistakes.

It's not level 10 when it depends on how much exp HT52 has, its level 9.

The number of points actually needed for the ranks are different from the amount it says in the FAQ (you can look on the Top 50 B/P list and see for yourself that some of the FAQ numbers are wrong) and you either added or missed a number for others. The numbers that should be in your list are:
Police Sergeant 400 (you typed 4500)
EG Staff Sergeant 4,000 (You somehow missed the rank)
EG First Lieutenant 11,000 (missed a 0)
EG Major 14,000 (missed a 0)
EG Brigadier General 19,500 (you guessed it, 0)
EG Major General 21,500 (the FAQ was wrong)
EG Lieutenant General 23,500 (ditto)
EG General 25,500 (bad FAQ, bad).

Movies cannot be whistled because they are REALLY bad (unless you mean bad by unsuitable and not by "crappy movie").

I wish I could get a gold whistle with 30 reviews; the amount needed to get it is much, MUCH higher. The number of reviews to get the gold whistle depends on the amount the user with the deity (not diety) whistle. There can also be more than one deity (and there can also be more than one level 30 user) if they have the same number of points.

For the third secret you can only choose one game and you get it at 1,000 exp points, which is smaller than the amount needed for level 10.

There is no E+ for Batting Averages.

And in the Dictionary section (which could be expanded) I always thought <3 meant love, but I could be wrong.

Other than that, this is tutorial gold, well done.

Author's Response:

There might be a few bugs in the newgrounds tutorial section. But not that much. The amounts to get a new rank ARE correct though.

The dictionary is indeed not so big, but i added that when the tutorial was kinda like already finished, i just thought it would be a nice extra.

And is it just me, or did you only check out the Newgrounds section?

Anyways. Thanks for the long and good review. And thanks for the 9!

File Catcher

"It's ok, but lacking."

submission: File Catcher
date: February 29, 2004

There only one level with no music or sound and the time limit seemed short, with the reset button coming up with 2 seconds to go. It was too simple for me, grabbing a file, put it in a folder, repeat.
With the ranks, I thought this would be better if it had a NG theme with swf files needing to be blammed. You could add some variety and put in files that you shouldn't click on or something so the game seems more interesting.
I repeat, it's ok, but it needs more.

Author's Response:

i'll try, but i am not that good yet. I needed feadback, so i would know what i need to improve on in my games.
Thanks for review.

Thief: quest for jewels

"Nice game."

date: January 5, 2004

One problem, I discovered how to get to the bonus stage. It involves clicking continue after you see that bit at the end, but I realised you must have meant finish the game without losing too many lives. Anyway, I hope to see you making more games as this was fun.

Author's Response:

ummm
dammit!
you are quite right!
i forgot to resolve that problem! thanks for th tip!
And sure thing, more games will be made!

Pong! the Beaver

"Extremely challenging."

submission: Pong! the Beaver
date: December 26, 2003

This has to be the hardest and also the best version of pong on Newgrounds. The graphics, style and sound were great. The intro was done nicely, and if the game wasn't hard enough, there's also a handicap which makes it impossible. I lost by 1 point, but I'll come back every week until I beat it.

Author's Response:

Thanks alot :)
I really appreciate it!

Agent vs Agent matrix

"Doesn't make sense."

date: December 4, 2003

Why are the agents attacking each other? The title should be more along the lines of 'Every agent for himself' since there are several agents. You might like to add a story and make the agents move more smoothly next time.

Author's Response:

it was going to go something like this
what if he was still alive.
the only person he could kill was himself.
then that scene
then the twist:
if he was still alive that would mean his opposite was too.
so i created this cool character to hunt and kill the smiths.
but the 30 day thing on flash finshed
soz
