I would guess he recorded his keystrokes and then played them back with a timer? Totally a guess, I did something similar in that manner for a canvas game demo.

I want to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume his english isn't great. He probably means something along the lines of: 'this DNA is so weird it could be Martian.'

I don't think Cushman is saying pretending to be nice is "shitty".

> Being nice to a beaurocrat is stupid. Appear to be nice or even charming is one thing but always be willing to throw them under the bus once you are done with them.

I think he is saying it is shitty to pretend to be nice and then be willing to thrown them under the bus when you are done with them....

Why not actually be nice? What is stupid about being nice to a bureaucrat? It's not as if a bureaucrat is not a person, and people respond to kindness. Pretending to be nice to someone and then being "willing to throw them under the bus when you're are done with them", sounds pretty sociopathic to me. And I don't know about you but I find sociopathic tendencies pretty shitty....

As someone who has seen a great white shark underwater from 15 feet away (shark caging), I can safely say that there is no human alive capable of holding a great white shark still. There is simply no stopping a 20ft long, 4000lb., aquatic dinosaur. Unless you're an orca I suppose.

One of the most impressive and intimidating animals I have ever seen.

Also if you shoot before you move you shrink yourself. Intended?

Not gonna read all the comments to see if this has been said but you need to set a max velocity for the player.

Hold down up and right from the start of the game and watch as you break the game :)

Very cool. Does anybody here know how the forager traffic is actually regulated? Is it centrally managed by the queen, or is there some sort of chemical signal that individual ants can produce to spread the word?

I have been using Impact to make little hobby games for a while now. It's a fantastic engine.

Cool demo Dominic!
