Allowing the Horseshoe under the sand and Starfish on the glass or to hide behind the coral temporarily will all be things that fit perfectly on the Advanced panel of my Settings window. :)

If it's the only creature that will be able to bury, I'd even make it easier of an interface. Have two slots for Horseshoe crabs:

Horseshoe Crab (never buries)
Horseshoe Crab (sometimes buries)

And not be bothered with changing the UI.

If there's going to be more than one creature that can bury, then you'd probably want the checkbox to control them as a group.

Feldon, I'm impressed at how quickly you prototyped that whole UI! Do you mind sharing what tool you are using to mock out that great interface?

Maybe.

Photoshop 6. It's about 30 layers and all the type is still editable.

Really?
I thought u use something like VB6 to create the interface...
coz all those scroll bars and the checkbox can be easily add in the VB....
by using Photoshop 6 would be more handy....and 30 layers...
wow.....u r good Morgan.....:)......
do u think using Photoshop 6 is more easier to edit those windows widget components then VB6?
u must be a pro Morgan...:TU:

I never use Photoshop 6 but I use Ulead PhotoImpact 7

I remeber I captured some kind of fish on the beach when I was samll......these kind of fishes normaly hide themself in the sand....
they only comeput for food when I feed them.....I forgot the name of this type of fish......the fish is long and thin.....
does anyone know what kind if fish has this behaviour?

Jim
except the Horseshoe Crab, does any other critter will hide itself under the sand might include in SSA?

It's not a working prototype, just pictures.

Yes of coz :)
what I mean is VB can create the interface as a preview,there's no need to combine it with actual code in it...
but with Photoshop 6....u really done the job well.....:)

well.....that's good but I don't see it anywhere in the advance tab.....:P

Well.....I like to add some more special critter of those live fossil other than Horseshoe Crab
this time is the Nautilus pompilius

I did actually saw them floting up and down in an Aquarium's tank
I don't konw much about them...but if thi scan be add into the critter pack..that'll be great....

Sorry it took so long but I just saw your request for the type of fish that hides in the sand. Here in Savannah there is a fish called a flounder that does this. Has a sandy colored side with both eyes on the one side. With the other side a lighter almost white color. Could this be it?

thx for ur greeting everyone

well....
loub516
no need to say sorry lo.....
and I know what's flounder fish...coz here in new zealand, ppl even sale them as one of sea food delicious

my fish doen't looks like flounder, it has eyes on each side....and not as round as flounder, about 15-20cm long...

I never figure out what kind of fish it is....:)

so does Jim like the idea of Nautilus pompilius ?
I wonder....

wondering aloud...
if James uses some kind of... you know...

form to map out his responses...:)

ROFLOL

Was begining to wonder the same thing myself.

I don't get it...???

ha...actually me too...
I don't understand what does "form to map out my responses "mean by Morgan.....?
Morgan.......plz be more explicit :p

Hopefully Michael or Shinsa could tell so poor James doesn't have to wait until Morgan returns from his swamp-rave-partying...

James,

No insult intended, but you skip spaces or lines in the middle of sentences, some lines never go to the end of the space provided, it just seems that there is no rhyme or reason to they way you post your answers. So there had to be some kind of incomplete form that you were using every time that you posted something.
