Gpt5 might drop any day now. I bet it wil be better at supplying snippets than 4.

Got me kind of interested in the for loops now. The for loops seem quite different in Swift 3.
[code]
INCREMENTING
for i in 0 ..< len {
}
DECREMENTING
for i in (0 ..< len).reverse() {
}
NON-SEQUENTIAL INDEXING
Using where
for i in (0 ..<*snip*

Cool. XM is like the best old music format out there.
Not sure if there is a easy javascript player for it. Back in the days one would just copy a bit of replayer code and music would play. Today (pc) you need to install like whole libraries.

Is it a float? Those things still get me.

Poe has 1000 requests left for me this month with Claude 3 Opus. It was supposed to be a level above GPT 4 with coding. 1000 credits per prompt. I had 950.000 credits left last month. So I have room to do stuff.

My mum has been trying to fix her home. Getting rid of lots of old stuff. She asked if I wanted my stepfathers old computer and monitor. An old desktop Celeron J3060 with 4gb of memory. It took me close to 2 days before it got updated. Old fashioned HDD. B*snip*

Confetti?
I asked gpt4 a while ago to make me a spinning 3d cross. This using vanilla javascript math and lines. I asked for sinus lines for the cross lines.
It gave me a kind space opera wavy and 3d rotating effect. Which, did looked kind of cool.

I think I remember one needing to use the ''steam.dll'' It is mandatory as far as I know.
Blitz can use dll's. But you need to configure this first.
Most steam games. As in 90% or so fail to make even a bit of money. Competition is hard out t*snip*

Simon Armstrong had a system or code for that iirc. I think it was discussed on syntaxbomb quite some time ago.
I think Simon Armstrong is now working on a new version of Skidmarks.

I think codea had the ability to have it be put onto stores. One could use it with Xcode.
The language is lua. I had some fun times with it. Codea is quite capable.
I never really looked at Swift. It was really lacking in having lots of docs and examples*snip*

Make a counter that counts up to or down the tile dimension. Then when that is on its edge. Do a tile index change.
I was recently also looking at the regular 2d 'camera' example code out there and 'stealing' that :)
