Description
A few graphic updates, and highscore board.Also, you can end your turn whenevr you want, so no more time-wasting-vertical-bouncing.
Please vote on newgrounds here: [link]
EDIT AGAIN: Yes, I know the scores are down, and I have no intention of making them work again on this version. I'd have to go find the source file, edit it, and set up a new high score table on my new server.

None of the tutorials worked straight of the box for me, they all required a little fixing to get working on my site, so I can't guarantee it will work straight away for you.
On the technical side of things you have:
- a MySQL database
- your flash game
- a PHP script to send a score from the game, to your scoreboard
- a PHP script to retrieve the top scores and send them back to flash
The MySQL database usually comes with your web space, use a free one (I use phpnet.us You also put your PHP script (just a text-file with a .php etension) on your web space to use. In flash you use LoadVars (AS2) or URLLoader (AS3) to communicate with the scripts.
As for what is actually in the scripts, I suggest you keep looking at the tutorials and do some research on working with MySQL databases using PHP, or check back on my dA profile soon as I'll be submitting the scripts in their simplest forms along with a flash example.

What kind of graphics would you prefer?
The background needed to be fairly simple to keep the scrolling speed good.
Thanks for

Bug: sometimes when I hit a box at high speeds it just goes through. :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hit detection is only done with the four corners of the house, so when your going really fast its possible for those points to go from one side of the box to he other without passing through it. Extra checks could be made cut down on this problem, but no one else has complained about it so I won't worry about it right now. Thanks for pointing it out though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. You should do hit detection in the middle too or something.
Anyway, it's a really nice game. A bit too addicting though.

awesome.
i found a bug though. somehow on my second shot one of the boxes that gives you an extra boost was about 50 pixels from the right of the screen, and it stayed there as i moved.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I see what you mean now. Found out what causes that problem, its when a power up is created at the exact same time that one is removed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Can you describe this any better? Did it just appear and stay there? Did it stop moving after you touched another box? Were you moving fast or slow?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It just stayed in the bottom right corner, like how the boosts stay in the top right corner. Even when I got another box it stayed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's weird. I've never seen this, and no one else has reported it (here or on newgrounds), but I admit the power-up removal code (removing power ups once they are off the screen) is really crap and I quickly threw it together, hopefully it never happens again.
