The trees are mirror'd that the only problem i see and they're all the same height try changing the height for some and adding in bushes

 Jumping pixels. Not very practical but- I was testing my hit box code and thought it would be helpful to see if the areas where actually matching up to where I thought they would be. | |
 Toying around with a neat effect that blurs the game's map control (with fancy interpolation of course) when you have an important UI element in view. Does it look cool or annoying? | |
Blurring the background does a fantastic job of framing the interface and draws the player's attention to the menu. It helps tune out things going on in the background without the game losing any ambiance.
I love it! | |
That's an effect I've wanted to see done with BYOND for a very long time! I'm impressed with how your game is looking!
| |
How exactly did you do the blur, Doohl? I'm gonna have to steal that one from you. ;)
| |
All you need to do is add:
filter: blur([n]px); To the stylesheet of .byond_map. Interpolation can be handled via jQuery. It's really that easy - you can also do:
filter: url(/* link to svg */);
To do some remarkably stylish effects on the map with a custom SVG file. Do some research and honestly the sky's the limit with what you can do on the webclient. | |

Wow. The webclient definitely has its advantages, then. We absolutely need something like that for the desktop client.
| |
More and more I want to learn to use the web client.
I'm sure the extra experience with javascript will be invaluable. | |
I highly recommend learning JavaScript. It's a really fun and simple language, not to mention really powerful with the right tools.
From what I've seen, the industry's always looking for jQuery/native JS developers and willing to pay a nice amount for them. | |
Before seriously dedicating a chunk of your life to learning it, though, I recommend reading what Richard Stallman has to say on JavaScript:

Richard Stallman is like GabeN but for unix nerds

You guys are doing some great work, seriously! The game looks great and I cannot wait to give it a try.
