QOTD : What else can it do?19th September 2008 I only learned last year that you can hit "Backspace" in Explorer / My Computer windows to go up to the previous directory level. It was really a "d'oh!" moment when I learned that. I felt like an idiot. D: |

random number generator...15th August 2008 I recently wrote a DLL wrapper for the Mersenne Twister random number generator for my own project, since with one given seed, Blitz's rand() produces consistent numbers on one computer, but it's not consistent between computers, and I need it to be.

best way to save data to a file...8th March 2008 Given the section, I'll assume that you're using one of the "classic" Blitzes -- in these languages, the "easiest" way is usually to just write how many of an object there is to the save file before writing all of your objects. When loading the file, just *snip* |

Screen Resolutions?11th January 2008 HoboBen, in most cases, it's probably a better idea to ask the computer itself what resolutions it supports. In Blitz, you can do this: [code]Local numModes = CountGfxModes() For i = 1 To numModes Print "Mode " + i + ": (" + GfxModeWidth(i) + "x" + Gfx*snip* |

A Pre-Emptive Strike on Whiny Valentine's Day Threads7th January 2008 I discovered love to be something like Thermonuclear Warfare, in that it is a "Strange game... the only winning move is not to play." It's much more likely to find you if you aren't actively looking for it. I'm quite happy with mine. <3 |

QOTD - Worst Coding Habits?31st August 2007 My biggest problems are probably: [ul] [li]Never finishing anything[/li] [li]Trying to add on functionality in the way that takes the least time to add in, rather than the way that is best structured or most efficient. This once led me to create a const*snip* |

Abort, Retry, Ignore?18th August 2007 Sure -- if nobody creepier comes out of the woodwork in the next few days (I'm sure there must be someone...), I'll try to read it again (hopefully with some actual effort to follow the meter). Alas, I'm afraid my voice just isn't deep enough to be as awe*snip* |

Abort, Retry, Ignore?18th August 2007 I read through the first "Abort, Retry, Ignore." I don't think I sound sufficiently creepy for this, but it was fun to do, anyway. |

The 2007 '3/4 of the year' Survey9th August 2007 1. Which of the sites features do you use most often? Unquestionably, the forum.

Your Desktop(s)9th August 2007 Oh... if I was supposed to have posted a picture of my physical desk, I can't... mainly because I can't actually find it. It really throws my waza out of balance, since apart from my desk, I'm almost a neat freak. :| |

Safari on PC29th July 2007 Tried Safari. It's useful to be able to test sites in a KHTML browser without abusing dual-boot, but that's all I can really say for it. I wish Apple would stop using the brushed metal UI for non-Mac applications... the interface would still feel fairly Ma*snip* |

Reading from a file?28th July 2007 I'm not familiar with your PA library or your u8 data type, but C arrays are 0-based, not 1-based, so the indices in an array with four elements are 0, 1, 2, 3, and not 1, 2, 3, 4 as you are using. That alone may not be enough to solve your problem but it *snip* |

Ingenium's Latin Challenge - #00125th April 2007 I would just like to note that I am disappointed that not one of you used the phrase 'crazy moon language' in this thread.
