Are you going to setup transparency in the sprites the same way it's setup in the tiles? Some sprites appear to use white for transparency and some use a B/W mask while others (paintings) only seem to use a rectangular mask.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

The easy way through MM&amp;M is of course to get all the prizes, which leads to plenty of Jacks which you can spend in the harder mazes.<br />
<br />
The hard way is to take the highway only from the beginning to the exit, skipping most of the gold.  I tried this but gave up in the beginning of the blue area with all the floating platforms, ladder jumps and moving platforms.<br />
<br />
I might try it again later.  But the challenge is:  Can you go through MM&amp;M taking only the highway with as little gold as possible?

I finally finished this one last night. Really great mansion, but the trip from Save 10 to 11 is HARD!!!!<br />
@$%@$^ spiders.  ><br />

Didn't know where to post this so I thought this might be a good place.<br />

The new Battlestar Galactica tv show on the SciFi channel is running a sort of contest where you can put together a 4 minute video using BG supplied video/sounds/effects. I plan on entering a video but also using the content in a future mansion. I know space based MM aren't very popular but good content is both hard to generate and hard to find and this is a chance at some VERY cool stuff. Here's the link:<br />

Joe, what a nice surprise on a beautifiul spring morning !!!<br />
<br />
I immediately played it (haven't finished yet, I always die to soon... ) and I'm very impressed... I love it, really....<br />
espoecially those great bits of irritating perspective (tromp d'oeuil, I guess the Frenchmen call that).... and apart from a few layer-issues I think it's very well programmed ans should definitely warrant an official reölease !!<br />
<br />
I comment on my time after I beaten it completely !!  <br />
<br />
<br />
BTW: Judged by the name...it could be part of <em>The Mansion Family</em>   ;D

I still have a LC classic apple computer with Mac Os 7.3! Haven't touched it for awhile due to no monitor... but I played lots of old games like... <br />
<br />
Gorilla warfare - Love it! <br />
Secret of Monkey Island, - Extremly funny puzzle game <br />
Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's revenge, - Just a sequel (Higher rating then the first) <br />
Farm Patrol, - A shooting game of you in a jeep avoiding holes and evil things (Don't think its avalible at the site linked below, google it or go to <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com">www.versiontracker.com</a>) <br />
Sim City 2000, - Fun game where you build a city from lots of money <br />
Castles: Siege and Conquest, - Recruit men and knights ect. to fight for you to defend your castles and attack (Tip: Don't attack the pope!) <br />
Civiliztion, - (MUST PLAY) Fun game were you advance in technology, and conquer or make peace treaties with other nations. <br />
Siege of Dark Wood, - Fun strategy game of you defending a fort from evil <br />
Worms, - The older version of my favorite 3D game, Worms 3D <br />
Legend Of Kyrandia, - Very funny puzzle game, like Monkey island <br />
Glider Series - Fun game where you fly around houses getting stars <br />
Wolfenstein 3D, - Fun shooting game, not really 3D, because you look at a bad guy at one angle, and go to another, he looks the same <br />
Spectre - Fun basic 3D shooting game. One of the first to ever come to mac <br />
Sim Farm - Just another sim game <br />
<br />
and many other classical games off of <a href="http://mac.the-underdogs.info/">http://mac.the-underdogs.info/</a> - Download them all and try them!<br />

Has anybody of you ever connected a 2nd monitor to an Apple PowerMac G5 (pre-Intel; Dual 2 GHz; inkl. ATI Radeon 9600).<br />
<br />
I know that it's possible...what I do not know:<br />
<br />
- Will there be a limit to screen resolution and / or color resolution after I connected a 2nd moniztor ?<br />
 (At the moment I'm running the main (and only) monitor with 1280 x960 (75 Hz) and 16 Mill. colors. Will I be able to keep that resolution ?)<br />
<br />
- I plan to use the 2nd monitor as <blockquote>enlarged desktop</blockquote>.  But what will happen, when I switch on my computer and only 1 monitor.... will the Mac <blockquote>automtaically realise</blockquote> that I have <em>not</em> switched on the second monitor on this particular day, even if it's connected..... and will it 'adjust' the desktop accordingly ?<br />
<br />
- What happens to MM, if I have 2 monitors running ??  Will it be full-screen, but only in the main monitor ?  And what is on the other screen then ?<br />
<br />
I'll appreciate any advice, knowing that it's rather off-topic to our usual conversations in this forum.  

Okay, I have struggled, and cheated, and finally gotten all the way through Spider Palace Hard, but I am missing one secret. I'm compiling a list of the ones I found and wondered if anyone who got 100% could look it over and give me a hint where I should be looking for the other one.<br />
