What is Digg?91 Comments
- Alphabet, on 10/12/2007, -3/+72damnit, I hate people who say other people have no lives. Maybe instead of going to websites like digg/slashdot/etc. or sitting there watching tv, they decide to create something with their time instead. What have you ever created ntnwwnet that made people go "wow, that's awesome."
- flamingmb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+62Good video, must have taken a lot of time. But after finding out you can hack the game these videos dont seem so special anymore.
- ActiveMatx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+50How do they make them so good without being able to erase?
- Petrarch1603, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37its like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
- inkubux, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37Seriously this is really awesome, but I doubt that you can do a "clean" drawing like this.Because thoses landings requires a lof of try and guess.
unless ue:
Save the track
Draw a line
Test the new line
If ok Save, if not reload track.
This requires a lot of times. If it's a hack it takes lot of time anyway so I say awesome work anyway :).
BTW the song was awesome :) - Nerys, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24That is simply ...... Hack or not the hack only lets you get more g's or reduce friction or something it does not let you move redo or erase lines. Absolutely amazing ! Me even the little bit of a life I do have (not much) I can not find time to play with it to that extent!! I can not wait till we have full edit abilites MOVE alter erase lines etc..
The scenery really sets it up too VERY impressive. - triforcer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23finally the title of the story lives up to the actual video. all other line riders can go home.
- commonsence21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21the nose grind on the rail = awsomeness.
- DesolataX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20+Digg for originality!
That was sweet, even if it was hacked. - Lososaurus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18I didn't think you could beat LineRider, but apparently you can...

How? - undershirt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16For those who don't know, the song is Banquet by Bloc Party.
- Spazkake, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Right click starting point of straight line
Right click elsewhere on the map
Left click and drag for a bit

Straight Line - knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -9/+23Great video... but someone needs to go find a job or something.
ntnwwnet: if you say so. - funkychikensays, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12They do it without erasing by saving and loading...constantly
- p0ss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13this brings three letters to my fingers, that i so very rarely use seriously, but this is a very special occassion.
O.M.G ! - drum_bum, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12No sir, things just don't work like that around here. I marked your story as spam.
- zclip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12how do they draw perfectly straight lines. more importantly how do they draw them so that they construct an almost perfect circle. hack or no hack, that's what I don't get.
- ElectricBrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Banquet - Bloc Party
- Miyazaki, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Very cool, dugg for Bloc Party.
- dickeytk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9name of song?
- Dested, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9the guy at the end was hard.

First link. Doing this will require less effort than posting worthless comments on Digg :) - HMMaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8straight line tutorial

see this demonstration image I've linked below. I used to do this all the time with rulers. Always fascinated me. Just remember that a curve is just a segment of a polygon with a large number of sides, and the length of each micro-side and angle between each micro-side is similar. Drawing lines using this method is basically just drawing each side of a curve.

As long as your line end-points (the dots in section 1) are evenly spaced, your side angles and lengths will all be similar and you will create a curve. - z00k, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12... Wow.
Thats all i can say, except for "Good Job"
-Zook - ATLBeer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Thats certainly not the point here...
We're here praising the creativity and ingenuity of someone who took a simple game and made art from it...
Go play UT2015 and leave us to enjoy the simple things... - Wisgary, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, when I tried line rider I could barely get the guy to start at the right spot! To make something like this is BEYOND ridiculously awesome.
- Hodglim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6But now bills534 has posted the proper way of doing it, that does work in Firefox :)
- Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Superb, I love it. Don't forget that a graphics tablet or similar could be used to draw straight lines.
- internbrian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Big bonus for bloc party. Crazy video, I suck at line rider.
- ohnnyj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This is epic.
- ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5^^posting a new comment to reply, instead of hitting reply??
- yanked, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That gave me my best laugh today! Great comment...
- DainTrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The only thing I did that may be considered a hack is using the straight line technique. You can make straight lines by clicking both mouse buttons in one spot and left clicking elsewhere to connect the two points. To judge how to place the landing you can mark a spot and see where he lands. Then move the spot to a corner in the flash page and load your last save, then try again. There is a tutorial on youtube.
- adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6He wins at the internet.
- Wonotch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@ HMMaster
I've tried this method of making a straight line a million times and it never works for me... - shil01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Being creative and doing something that thousands of people find awesome/interesting, is having more of a life than not doing anything...
- bills534, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4the correct strait line method
-Left click and hold where you want your line to start.
-Right click, (you can now release the left button)
-Left click where you want the line to end
= strait line - DainTrain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I have a life, probably a more active one than you...
- spencewah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4What is happening at the end, with that little black block? Why does he get such a launch from it when he's moving so slowly?
- modpancake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@lifedigger: Sending WinHTTrack through all of them. Hope you're happy.
- poorbusker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2that was great
- OropheR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Great job, I want to see more of this.
- ntnwwnet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Great video, music made the viewing experience WAY more entertaining!
Thanks! - shawgo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I never even got my second jump to work on line rider, this guy is amazing!
- teddyrux, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4It figures.
- Rudrasksha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Its funny I was just playing around with line rider
