Christ man, how many times have you had to remake the game/engine?

Okay, FLS is back up on its feet.
May 21, 2011
-Began redoing everything that I had done in the past two days.
May 22, 2011
-Finished redoing everything that I had previously accomplished.
-Modified the HUD so that the amount of metal left in an ore field is displayed.
-Modified the HUD so that the progress of a construction site is displayed.
-Modified the Rockin' Around Christmas event so that Colton can also be contained in a present.

Excuse my bitching but this is why I lose motivation. A post a day keeps the bitching away, so as long as I know at least one person cares about FLS for the day, I'm fine. Also, a couple of my friends played FLS with each other without me even knowing they were going to do so, or me even being present in the room at the time they started, so that was kinda cool. That served as today's motivation.
The match never got finished because my one friend kept building up armies and getting transport copters (map was 2012), and rather than saving an army up for a full on attack, he sent things over right after he had finished building them up, and my other friend had a 35 Sniper which quickly disposed of everything. I kept telling him to go for the Medic, but he kept shooting the Sniper, thus wasting units and time because the friend with the Sniper was a rather quick shot with it.

Sometimes when I play it the game would freeze for no reason and I would have to open task manager to close it... Is it just my computer or are there other people who have the same problem?  |

I'm pretty sure if other people had the same problem they would've contacted me about it. If you could tell me some instances where it happens, I could probably diagnose the problem.

I hope you fixed most of the menu bugs.
I'm pretty sure that it is going to be a while until you release the next build, and its going to be pretty bad to redo all or most of the coding to reduce the size. You could try to learn C+ (or C++, whatever).

I am currently in the process of learning C++ (albeit at a rather slow rate because FLS hasn't met its initial release yet), and FLS's sequel will be programmed in C++ and possibly sold if all turns out well in terms of the current FLS's popularity and programming in C++ in general. It seems that you missed this post regarding the game's current state. As for the menus, I'll be completely redoing those (and modifying the typing script so rather than directly using keyboard_string (which for some reason goes blank if you click out of a GM game), it simply adds whatever letter you pressed to a variable) to accommodate for the new sprites. Also, unit menus will be mouse and hot-key friendly, but will no longer use arrow keys or enter (escape will still back out of menus) as the unit menus will now appear in a web-like fashion such as Portal 2 gesture menu, L4D voice menu, etc. And right clicking a unit will automatically select it, so the whole game (save for typing options) can be mouse controlled if you like. |

It's mostly at random spots. Since I've only begun playing this game, I've been using the Tutorial mission to see what units are good against what. I'll often start mass-producing aircraft and skipping the attack phases until... FREEZE!!! CPU AT 100%!!!  And I'll have to open task manager and wait for five minutes before the computer starts responding. |

You must have one shitty computer. Good thing for you, I am fixing some of the optimization problems I have found in the code so that it should at least work a little better on older computers.

Yes. I do have a stupid computer. The graphics card is so bad I can't play any commercial games on it so I spent my days idly playing GG2 or whatever freeware game with bad graphics but good gameplay I can find.

 read this post about minors without looking at the last page first, and I thought you were encouraging rodo to hunt for young women.
