• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    I've been thinking a lot about overworlds in games recently. The overworld in games like New Super Mario Bros or Super Mario 3D world are just glorified level select screens, you only have a character running around to make it appear less boring. Games like Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, are still...

    Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl

    I'm not opposed to chibi styles, but there's something about how they look in these remakes that seems a bit off. Maybe if the head was a tiny bit smaller or the body was 1.5 times bigger? I don't know. I liked Zelda A Link Between worlds, maybe it looks okay there because of the weird...

    Who's your favourite human character?

    There's so many human characters in Pokémon that there's now a mobile game about collecting them instead of Pokémon. Who's your favourite?

    Game Dev Club

    I know the general story and setting of the game I want to make, but it's hard to then come up with gameplay that fits with it. The best games have gameplay the complements the story. RPGs seem like a kind of an easy genre to pick? Because the overworld and battles are generally separate from...

    If it's visual novels you're interested in making, I hear Ren'Py is a popular engine to use. I think it requires knowledge of Python, but making any game requires programming and Python is among the easiest to learn.

    So the long and short of it is, that I work better when I surround myself with other people doing similar things. It helps keep me motivated I guess. Would anyone be interested in working on whatever kind of games you want, and posting progress etc here? Either large projects or small "flash"...

    I haven't been keeping up-to-date with the updates so I'm not aware of what is in the most recent update, I'll have to check it out. I don't play with mods because I have it on Switch.

    Website Questions II

    I second kokorico in that if you have no PHP experience then do a few other things with it first to get yourself acquainted with it. I'm always unsure when answering questions like this where the line is between essentially just giving you the answer and giving you enough that you're able to...

    Website Questions II

    This isn't something I've done before so someone who knows more about what they're talking about, feel free to tell me I'm talking nonsense. But the way I'd approach it would be splitting it into three things to think about: How to store the guestbook. I'd use a database which I assume you...

    What's the deal with this thingy?

    Could it be padding/margins of the CSS elements? What does it look like if you put margin:0px; on the CSS for the blue bar?

    A big javascript question.

    I'm not the best with working with forms in javascript but here's something quick which should do generally what you want: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="quiz.js"></script> </head> <body> <form> <fieldset id="question1"> <input type="radio" value="a"...

    She might still have an accent. It doesn't need to be spelled out! I mean, there's no such thing as not having an accent so all of the characters must have one.

    Voting Systems

    This is mainly about the state of UK and US politics and I'll use UK terminology for the most part, but feel free to chime in if you're from somewhere else. If you do have a different voting system, do you think it works better or worse than First Past the Post? You may also want to discuss...

    Bringing back the forum - the good, the bad, the ugly

    I don't want to be the guy who posts every other post in this thread but I do think about how unsocial social media is a lot, especially recently. This especially, again. It's hard to maintain interest in specific things because they don't stay relevant long enough, you know? On forums a...

    Rearranging your room/furniture

    I generally only have one room in which I don't own the furniture so I don't really get to. But otherwise I don't think I'd see a need to unless I bought some new furniture or something. At my parents' we move stuff around at Christmas to make room for the tree, and sometimes we use it as an...

    Bringing back the forum - the good, the bad, the ugly

    I would have agreed with this, but I just found out a forum that had been around since the mid-00s which was my second home after here was shut down about a year ago, and now I feel sad thinking about all that was lost. The community could be toxic at times, and there's probably a lot of posts...

    Is it Lower Decks you're talking about? I'm not planning on watching it; occasional comedy can work in Trek but from the trailers it just looks like the generic kind of comedy lots of cartoons have these days that just isn't my cup of tea.

    Hunting/Consuming Animals

    Unless you already have specific dietary requirements for health reasons for example, it isn't all that hard to be vegetarian. Maybe I'm just saying that because I live in the country where things which are suitable for vegetarians have to be labelled as such, but honestly it's not something...

    Are ROMs and Emulation ethical?

    I would agree with this. Valve said that piracy is a service issue and that instead of using DRM that ends up inconveniencing paying customers more than pirates, they worked to provide a service that is more convenient than piracy. Unfortunately, this model pretty much only works when there's a...
