That's a very nice tutorial, I really enjoyed the tips you gave.That elderly woman had what it takes, and she wasn't scared, just like your tutorial is pointing out.This tutorial is becoming more and more handy in these times, for instance, did anyone see the incident on T.V. where these men stole from an elderly woman and took her money? That's just aweful, this helps in a way that people can not only FEEL more calm in these situations, but ACT calm. I can't wait to see your next tutorials.

It's nice that there is a "Women's Day", however, I think some people go a little bit too far with women's rights. I agree with a few of the other posters. Women are getting more and more rights every day and this is good, but you see Hilary Clinton becoming president and most of her votes will be for her just because she is a woman, not for her talents and such. I respect this event, but will not go out of my way for anyone to congratulate them or anything on it. That library happening is totally wrong, no matter how you look at it, and I think it's also wrong that no one would do anything about it. I mean, women's rights actvists are always winning wars and such, but do you ever hear of men's rights activists winning? No, of course not, that would be "wrong" because women are "mistreated" even though they use certain things against men because of their gender, it's really messed up and unfair and I hope it changes soon. Now, don't get me wrong, I DO believe that ALL people SHOULD be treated equally. But it's not like there is a "men only" day at libraries, women should fight for something fair for both sides instead of creating more chaos. Like, for instance, fighting for the right to become leaders in today's society and business. A "women only day" is incorrect because BOTH men and women go to that library, not just men. I don't mean to come off harsh or such, I really am on both sides, but still, those are my thoughts on the matter.

Hi dude! :PIt's good to meet you, I hope you like it here as much as I do. As long as you don't spam, stay reasonably active and are nice you should have a great time here.You can look at tutorials, talk about life, vent(nicely etc... And, best of all, you can get your own free web-site hosting such as I have. Remember, if you need anything, just PM a staff member, other users or feel free to PM me. =)Have a good time man.

Thanks dude, I think I may make another tutorial, or just edit this one with a few more functions. Such as lcfirst/lcwords and a script that wil uppercase only certain letters, or certain characters will be changed.

Hello all! I have just finished two scripts in GML(Game Maker Language) that I find to be useful: ucfirst() and ucwords(). If you have been around PHP for anytime, you probably have run across these functions. Simply put, ucfirst() takes the first letter of a sentence and uppercases it. While upwords() takes the first letter of every word in a sentence and uppercases it. Nice time-saver for stories. This tutorial requires Game Maker, if you do not have it, you can download it at it's site, located here. First, add a new font. It doesn't matter what kind it is, just be sure to name it "fnt_text" so that this works. Then, in a script, place this code: /////////////////////ucfirst(text);/////////////////////var oldtext, letter, text;//These define what varables we will be using and that they should only stay in this script.oldtext = argument[0];//This variable now holds the data that the user types in when executing this script.letter = string_upper(string_char_at(oldtext, 1));//This uppercases the letter at the start of the sentence.text = string_replace(oldtext, string_char_at(oldtext, 1), letter);//This replaces the lowercase letter with our uppercase one.return (text);//Tell the script opener what our text now says.//NOTE: string_char_at() finds a variable at the given spot in a string, in this case we said 1 was the position.Name that script "ucfirst" without the quote marks. Make another script, name it "ucwords" and put the following in: ///////////////////////ucwords(text);///////////////////////var text, a;//Once again, defining our variables that we should only use HERE.text = argument[0];//Same as before, our text is now what the person puts in.text = ucfirst(text);//Use our other script to upppercase the first letter, nice how GM can do that, eh?for (a = 1; a <= string_length(text); a += 1)/*This makes a new variable called "a", it starts with the value of 1 because 1 is the starting position in strings; It then checks to see if our "a" variable is smaller than the length of our text to go through; And lastly, if it is, we will increase "a" by one.*/{ if (string_char_at(text, a) == " ") then//If the letter in the string at our "a" variable's value is a blank spot: { text = string_insert(string_upper(string_char_at(text, a + 1)), text, a + 1);/*Then put our uppercased letter in front of that spot.*/ text = string_delete(text, a + 2, 1);//Finally, we delete the old lowercased letter from our string. }}return(text);/*Now that that the string is finished, and the loops is over(a became equal to our text length) we can tell the user what the new text is.*/ Then, make a new object, call it "obj_test" or whatever you want.In it's Draw event, put this code: draw_set_font(fnt_text);draw_text(32, 16, "here is what the text looks like without ucfirst().");draw_text(32, 32, ucfirst("Here is what it looks like after ucfirst()."));draw_text(32, 70, "this is what the string looks like without ucwords().");draw_text(32, 86, ucwords("here is what it looks like with ucwords()."));/*You can put whatever text you want in the codes above, the scripts will handle it. You can also put more text in below this line.*/ There you have it, the scripts work. I uploaded the file, to show you how it worked. And if case the file that I uploaded messes up, here is a link to the file. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to PM here on this forum, or email me. ucfirstanducwords.zip

You can also use a program called Game Maker. There are examples on this site on how to use it, and if you can't find any ones that help you, then you can go to it's forum located here.

I think what you mean is "simple yet effective."

Very good tutorial, what is your name on the GMC, I may know you.I haven't used good 'ole GM in a while, although I have made a few scripts e.g. mouse_over(x1, y1, x2, y2) etc...I've just been to busy making a site with PHP to put my examples on.

If all else fails for you, buy Defender Pro 15-in-1 2007 from your local store.I had the same problems you did plus more. Such as new adult links being put into my history, And homepage takeover.I downloaded countless pregrams to fix it and none worked, so I bought Norton Internet Security 2007(which was the best program at the time) and it couldn't fix it. Then, I bought Spyware Doctor 2007, it found the files, but couldn't delete them. Finally, I found the savior: Defender Pro 15-in-1 2007. It fixed the problem plus it even has other programs that come with it that help your PC in other ways.Norton Internet Security 2007 = 70$, Fixed problem: NoSpyware Doctor 2007 = 40$, Fixed problem: NoDefender Pro 15-in-1 2007 = 40$, Fixed problem: Heck yes!

Cool dude, very useful. When I used to go to 64Digits I always wondered how they used that system. Now, that you've used it on my site I was able to see the code and learned greatly from that. Very nice example, and I know everybody on this forum will agree when they get on to see it.

Hello. :PI was just wondering what your guy's/girl's thoughts and methods for losing weight are.Anything that has helped you?I'm not overweight I'm at a perfect weight for my age, but I'm just curious.Thanks!

Great tutorial, mate. :DNice how you added their mail to their names, very cool.

Hi, Imtay! :DI found mine at a Gamestop in my hometown for 20$. :PYou should be able to find it at any gamestore...An SNES is a Super Nintendo, it came out after te original NES(Nintendo Entertainment System). -JD

Hey all! :DHave any of you heard of a game called Super Mario RPG? I love it, as a matter of fact, I bought it yesterday for my SNES. :DNow, I know it's an old game, but the gameplay is just spectactular! I mean, you can even play as Bowser himself! There are new characters, including Mallow, and Geno. You can play as both, it's an RPG style game, that's quite advanced for the Super Nintendo. :PI was just wondering if any of you have ever played or heard of it and if so, what you thought of it. -JD

Lol, I'm not that old, only 16, but here's my first PC's specs:24(Yes, that's right, 24) MB RAM;I don't really remember what processor it had, Pentium something...;24x speed CD-ROM drive(No burning );2MB integrated video card;And a 10 GB hardrive. xD-JD

Yes, I think it would look even better with less colors. :PThe layout looks good, and overall I like it. 9/10

Happy Saturday, FLaKes!
