Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
I was still using your free website layout, and i decided to change the logo of my site to a banner, and for some reason, the banner stretched out to the entire page and went under the text and other images? And i resized the banner and it stayed that way? Why did this happen?
Have an epic day!

@Butterfree: Ello! Thx for the help! I really appreciate it!

@Inkysplotch.AAA: Hey! Glad you enjoyed the HTML guide.
Your menu links don't work because you've just written <a blog.html>, when it needs to be <a href="blog.html">. You need to be careful with stuff like that in HTML - the syntax needs to be exact!
On the art dump page, it's just that the images are very large. You could shrink them down in an art program, or you can add this to the bottom of the style.css file:
#content img {
max-width:100%;
}
This will prevent any images inside the main content from becoming any wider than the main content itself, regardless of the size of the user's screen, while keeping the images at their original aspect ratio.
Hope that helps!
Hey, I found you through your HTML guide and i decided to use one of your free layouts (the stretching div layout) and i added the links to the other pages on my site and i tested it and i could hover over the links and stuff but i clicked the links and they did nothing, They didn't link me to the page the links were supposed to, i still was on the Home page when i clicked the links. I checked the code and i saw no reason this was supposed to be happening.
Also i had an art dump and when i used the layout suddenly the art went off to the side and as a result a part of it is off screen and you couldn't see a part of the images, I could see why this was happening, but i don't know how i could fix it.
Have an epic day!
Been a while since I've been here. Missed this place
Wait, the whole thing was real? I cross-checked with Bulbapedia (which also had a great prank) to make sure the roulette machine existed, but I kind of just assumed that everything after the first helper tool was fake, because <i>who in the heck</i> programs that much nonsense?! I miss the 2D games…
God dammit. Of course it would end up being something like this.
So hype to see all this posted at last! I didn't even remember that the probabilities are set to the player always wins in the long run. And the simulator came out so nicely! It's weirdly satisfying to put it on one of the multi-ball options and just watch all those circles spin around to their final positions.
The fuzz value… Something to do with cleanliness of the ball seems plausible. Or at least as plausible as anything else. DEEPLY wish I could pick the brain of whoever designed this minigame. I have so many questions!
Love the header. Chaos goblin Shroomish is everything to me.
I hope whoever asked for this one is happy! Surely they got way more than they bargained for, lol.
Roulette game honestly seem fun, the physics likely was used for Pokemon Pinball in some way, or at least that the vibe I got from it.
Man, I really love your April fools jokes.
The article was great - it's so fun to see the bizarre logic that hides in some corners of these games. I also unironically like the layout, that Taillow is adorable.
@Umbral: Fixed, thanks.
@lucaa: If the battery is dry, the clock will have stopped - you can check the in-game time in your house in Littleroot.
i really loved this article!!! seeing the time of day factoring into the calculations made me wonder, though: does it make a difference if your cartridge has a dry battery???
So apparently the new layout makes the catch calculator no longer mobile friendly.
I'm glad you're finally decided to embrace this site's true calling as a means to confront your own roulette addiction. I gotta say, the new roulette minigame and layout really make my spurs go Jingle Jangle Jingle. They're a real Platinum Chip on the website's table.
They assume your Pokémon is the same level as the opponent, yeah, which seemed like the most reasonable baseline to use, given I wasn't giving you a form to input the level of your Pokémon. Though it does lead to somewhat skewed results, since it means the higher-leveled Pokémon in the location will show as having lower experience gain compared to the lower-leveled ones than they actually would in practice. Maybe I should reconsider.
How do the Gen V Locations pages handle the scaling experience formula? They still give an "Average EXP per Pokémon", but I don't know where the specific numbers comes from.
Do they assume your Pokémon is a particular level (maybe the average level of the area)? Something else entirely?
Thank you all! Very touched to hear you enjoyed this incredibly self-indulgent story, or my tutorials, or the BMF mention (we should talk!). These comments make my day every time.
I just want you to know how excited I am every single time you post more Morphic. I've read it over so many times, it's ingrained in my brain chemistry, I feel like I've grown up alongside it, I'm still beyond stoked about the eventual coming rewrite, which I feel like I will be able to more easily foist upon my friends and partners just so I can talk to someone else about it for once. Thank you for the delightful Dave torment. The art you've done mentioning it has always intrigued me.
Or rather, "Wow, I loved Dave and Mia Discuss Timeloops!"
the tutorials on your site are what got me to first mess around with HTML when I was a teenager and even though it didn't result in a complete site at the time, over a decade later I'm here again to look at those same tutorials and stylesheets as a starting point. it's really heartening to see that the cave of the dragonflies still exists after all this time :)
Oh I just knew that dave couldnt get a happy & hunky-dory ending including at the usual point any other character wouldve "succeeded" but it still hurt anyway GOOD stuff
I also love that like. Hes raging at why hes going through this. Sorry dave the answer is that god is actually ur writer & a bunch of readers rotating you in their minds going "if he was on the moon & killed or was killed by another guy with a rock would that be **ed up or what"
Happy very belated New Year!! I was opening your site to send a page to someone and I only just so happened to see this. I'm incredibly flattered to be named here, especially considering TCoD was one of my personal main inspirations for making BMF in the first place. I hope you've had a good January! I think we should talk sometime, to be honest.
