Odd world.

Somebody with a repressed hatred of QuickBasic, go figure.

If those vertical and horizontal sliders allow you to load multiple lines of text I'll ruin my pants right here and now with glee. I'm going to check it out. On a completely unrelated topic, I stumbled upon your SAPI demo which is far superior to what I was using. Not being able to use the voice wit...

The sprite engine works really well...

Here's a demo of your scrolling engine working with your sprite engine, with Lachie's little RPG dude as the loaded sprite spinning around in circles.

Ok... A couple points of confusion... The engine doesn't appear to be "creating" the sprites, merely loading the animations from the directory by calling the directory name... If I'm not mistaken... That's awesome. If your program generated 9 red balls and stashed them in a directory I can...

I was operating on an older version of Freebasic... That's been taken care of at least.

I'll recompile the lib because I'm still getting the multithreading error. But half the problem is solved already.

Cool.

I would assume it's similar to Newton's implementation of the limit, since it approaches a discrepancy of 0 through each (recursive) manipulation.

I would assume it's related to the calculus of infinitesimals.

Hey man, I appreciate the open source release.

I'm going to take a look at your sprite engine, I'll let you know how it goes.

Kristopher,


Did you ever get an answer from your prof?

Does it help that the babylonians were using a base of 60 instead of 10?

You can increase the accuracy of the result by repeating the process over and over and over and over and over again... If you were to do this for an infinite amount of time, the number derived would approach perfect accuracy. How this is distinct from any other methodology is beyond my comprehension...

Thanks a bunch for that. I needed the website for file hosting and my resume, nothing else really, not yet at least. javascript:showbbcode(' http://freefile.kristopherw.us/uploads/rolliebollocks/sg1.jpg ') Ha, maybe I should re-design that feature.

I actually use FBide which is not open source. But the thing is I learned a lot from tinkering with iGUI even though I made only very slight modifications to the source code. So for anyone who's looking to learn something new - not having access to the source code is a deal breaker. I'm not saying y...

I was just joking, man. I didn't mean to offend. I think its a good gui, I even said so. I'm sorry you wouldn't use it because of the source. Most people would appreciate that someone took the time to develop something to improve their apps and package it in an easy to understand and use format. [/q...

Well, it's a nice GUI definitely kwik, it's easy to pick up but even if iGUI and KwikGUI had both been out when I decided on GUI I would have (without even considering the fact that much of the control I would desire over my GUI's appearance is precalculated by its author) is the fact that it does n...

I'm supposed to rewrite the tutorial mode at some point. I wrote it, then I added a bunch of new moves and I never got around to rewriting the intro etc... I wanted it simply to show the user the different moves... and the system, adding a practice mode for the AI editor I think would be helpful. An...
