Mac version initially didn't run here -- libglfw.3.dylib was missing. `brew install glfw3` fixed that issue, but the game hung shortly thereafter and I had to force close it. :( I'm running High Sierra on one of those newfangled touchbar Macs.

I'm in the eastern US; the download took about 2 seconds from either server but it was very slightly faster on the new one.

Scary shutdowns!
9th November 2013

Overheating is possible, but my experience has been that machines are more likely to just appear frozen when that happens than to outright shut off.
It sounds to me like the PSU might be failing.

I've only recently touched the Android SDK, and I have to say, it feels like it was designed specifically to promote a lingering feeling of Weltschmerz.

Win8 Lovin'

Windows 8 is indeed very fast. Metro apps are all but useless on a desktop PC, though, and like others I found the context-switching between the desktop and Start screen mildly irritating.

I got mine back with one of the earlier batches and only now finally got around to using it. RetroPie is super-nice - the NES emulation is pretty much perfect, and the SNES only seems to hiccup with later-gen games.

Well, that's not entirely an accurate conversion.

array Problem
10th January 2012

That's because you're passing in a single element of the array with INS(R[0]) instead of the array, when what you need is just INS(R). You also can't print the result of that, since it doesn't return anything.

Passing in the array works; the line doing it was just commented out in your example above and I did not change it back.

array Problem

Blitz's array support is anemic. You can pass string arrays to methods, but the so called "blitzarrays" break if you specify the type anywhere but declaration. That is to say, the following will work:

Function INS(E$[10])
Local J:Local S

@JL235 - I am aware of how floating point math works -- it's not that 10 million is an odd choice but that "infinity" is expressly given a finite value. I'd probably have to call it something more like "MAX_SIGNIFICANT_VALUE" if I wanted to be able to read*snip*
