Prompted by something someone said on TDC chat (I can't remember exactly what, my mind must've crashed when the server did) I decided to try and make a visual chat app - i.e. one with little people running around, speech bubbles over their heads.

http://sfgames.clicksplat.com/download/CommunityChat.zip

A lot of the basic programming is done, but I need some nice environments for you all to lounge around in, as well as some cool characters (unless you like being a featureless diamond that is). So any offers of help are appreciated.

I'll be releasing this version as open source soon, but I want to hear your comments first. (Or maybe not. Depends how bad they are.)

I can't get it to download (something I did, don't worry about it), but I'll make some sprites and backgrounds if you tell me the sizes, ect. And are the backgrounds tile-based, frame-frame based, and are they isometric?

I'll try the dl again in a while.

Something you might want to consider is splitting the sprited in to heads and bodies for further customisation. That'd increase th enumber of combos, but you couldn't have anything especially cool, like a bug-eyed earl char.

Somebody sign on really quick, I'll post here again when I'm not on the chat. For those of you who couldn't understand that, I'll be on the chat until I post again.

I want to make it isometric, and yes I will be splitting characters into customisable heads, bodies, trousers.... maybe hats. For clowns.

It would be cool to see some of those graphics Joe.


btw. I can split existing graphics so don't worry if they're complete. I happen to be very good at amputation >=

JonWog and I have determined these couple of things.
1. The speech boxes need to be semi transparent + auto size themselves for the text in them.
2. The interface needs to be off the play area.
3. Zelda style sword fighting
4. This program kicks ass.

Enter the Zelda sword fighting.
If you get challenged, you should have to duel to the death.

it would be cool, but you wouldn't really get any rewards except knowing that you can press buttons faster than someone else

only admins could be able to just kick, otherwise you'd have to accept the challenge.
