Can an FE do this?
« on: May 24, 2006, 01:08:36 pm »
I'm looking for an FE that does something similar to the "wheel" from Ultracade, but keeps the planks horizontal, as in Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix - I'll try to post a picture, but I'm not fully versed on how this forum handles uploading images. Keep your fingers crossed...

I've got to admit, it's worth waiting for. What is it they say about great minds?

I don't think there is a skin for it yet, but I'm pretty sure it could be done with 3darcade... check out the Commodore 64 skin with the disks:

You could do that same layout with other frontends, but you won't have the animated portion like in DDR or in 3darcade..

Or you can wait a while for Howard's :) Howard, before you release it, remember I talked about spell check... hehe *rhythm* looks nice

Notice the quotes I put around it.  I spelled it wrong on purpose.  A bit of a joke but no one got it, nevermind.   ;)


And 3darcade can definately do it. Somebody will just have to make a skin.

Same here... how long have I been working on this final release now?  1.5 years?  2?

Atomic can already do that using scripting.

And soon you will even no need to use scripting!
