It is a reddish transition metal that is conductive, soft, and malleable. Its chemical symbol is derived from the Latin word сuprum, meaning "metal of Cyprus." Furthermore, a certain member whose name is an alloy of said element has been churning out some nifty sprites lately! Check them out.

Oh, and a little point of advice that Nite mentioned on the forums. Lots of forum-goers use third-party file hosts to share their work. That's totally OK - in fact, it's encouraged. However, it's unwise to upload executable files directly to file hosts. For whatever reason, many antivirus programs have a hard time getting along with uncompressed .EXE files, and they slaughter them with their AK-47s they use to help keep your computer safe. To prevent such tragedies from occurring, be sure to compress all your game files into a ZIP archive before uploading them. Doing so will shrink the download size, too.

Wow, that's bigger than I expected. I also was expecting to see at least on of my sprite sheets, but I'm happy with the update. I'm happy bro. Are you mad bro?

Could i make a suggestion? Could you make a "Other" Selection in the game catagories. Because there is a mario & luigi in mother 3 style that i would have never found using the search engine now.

GB09: There is an "Other" category for sprites. While I always double-check to see that sprites are correctly categorized, not all QC staffers have done that in the past. If you see a miscategorized sprite, feel free to press the Report Submission button so we can fix it.

Wiiboy: Yes, Chemistry exams are renowned for being a bit on the difficult side!

Haha I didn't have exams and I partly spent that free time making sprites.
Now, random question:
Should I use MP3's in my fangame, Yay or nay?

.OGG is generally smaller than .MP3 at the same quality.

mp3's can be easily converted to this as well using Audacity.

at this aspect, i would recommend .ogg over .mp3 as a means of helping to keep within a smaller file size.

Of course, you need (I think) something like SuperSound or Fmod to play them assuming you're using Game Maker.

most click products should support it natively,

and construct comes with Xaudio2 which supports it as a common sound effect (thus, you can manipulate it with the system timescale effects, i do this in TTD)

Oggs are better than MP3s, as long as you're using a Clickteam product or any of the Pro versions of Game Maker.

Haha thanks for the help guys, it was the file size I was worried about. (Sound is by far my weakest area of knowledge).

Thanks for the Chemistry Lesson. I'll have a head start on it when I do Chemistry.
