NELG sadness

[NTG]

I miss NELG.

Especially when I type in “NELG forever” and see pictures of the levels I once enjoyed, but powered through.

Even with my NELG, no matter how many levels I make it will never live up to the original because of the program limitations of the coding website.

And even if somehow I did make something as good as the original, I wouldn’t’t have the joy of PLAYING it, even though I made it.

I just wish I didn’t rush some of the levels, and didn’t ask for help on others, or maybe I could get brainwashed to forget the answers, idk lol

Learn to code in a more durable language

[NTG]

Good idea

I have been learning HTML the last few days, maybe I could make that work

I would need some JS as well, but I’ll work on it

[Clarence]

Honestly the programming I used to make NELG in flash wasn't overly complex - not too in depth at all really, I just forced a lot of simple things into levels to make it look more complex than they are

I also made an HTML version that predates this game but think I lost it now

Okay, what I do is don't play it for a while. Delete any old password files. Play something else.
You have Steam? You should get Volgarr. But anyway, after a while, come back and do it from the start.

Every time I visit this forum it reminds me of NELG... I haven't played in a while, but it will be hard to forget.

Clarence, may I ask which program you used to create NELG? (There are many programs/website that make flash games.)

[Clarence]

Flash MX 2004

[NTG]

It's downloading, NELG 2 might happen

Going to need to watch coding tutorials though

After that I should be golden

[NTG]

Big nevermind on that- I need a serial code or some paid crap. Trial is 30 days. I may ask for one for christmas,
who knows.

[NTG]

this is a friggin roller coaster of emotions

I got an online code to work so I now have infinite flash MX PROFESSIONAL 2004, idk if it will make a difference.


Time to start learning how to make stuff

[Clarence]

I haven't worked in FLash in over a decase

But Flash MX 2004 was the new version at the time

you can probably find a newer version somewheres


And yeah I never paid for it either

[NTG]

Do you know any tips for coding in Flash? I'm completely lost.

[Clarence]

Start off slow and learn how to make buttons and how they work

I haven't done this stuff in over a decade so I don't have it fresh in my head

There's plenty of youtube vids and tutorials on it

[NTG]

Got it, buttons wil be enough for the first few levels - they are just buttons anyway

I got locked out of my Scratch account so flash it is..

[NTG]

I found out how to make a button! How I have to figure out how to make it transition to a different level.

It's tricky - you are going into all of this cold but I started in Flash by doing animations

You have to know about frames / keyframes and have buttons go to the frame the level is on

[NTG]

working on it

Question- do you know if the flash shutdown of 220 will affect development?

[Clarence]

I don't know what flash shutdown of 220 is

I haven't used this program in a decade as I said so I have not kept up on anything

[Clarence]

And just because I used flash doesn't mean you have to btw

There are probably much better programs out these these days for these kind of things

[NTG]

i meant 2020
Adobe is supposedly discontinuing Flash at the end of the year 2020. If it actually dies I will find another program.

I think I found ho to make it g to a new keyframe and stop.... but I need level numbers, pw box, passing the level if you type something, etc. Very advanced.
