cool dj

It's ok, tho, as it won't distort the page. If an avatar is like 30 MB large i may remove it, though, same if it slows down the board considerably.

it's ok, i doubt anyone's pic gets even close to 30mb. i mean my avatar which i just posted was originally 1019x1019, it was so big, i had to create a 300 square copy and repost it. the size of the original file? 677KB. png file by the way. however ive noticed that JPEGs take up Heaps of space compared to png, yet they don't have any advantages (except for metadata tags). they have a disadvantage: they can't have any transparent pixels

Civilization V came out a while ago (21 sep for US, 24 sep for the rest), anyone tried it?
I think it is a good improvement, and much more realistic!!! Lots of things have been simplified too. I like where you can just view the game conditions (difficulty, type of map, length of game) through circles when you bring up the game menu.
(hopefully i can have a screenshot of this)

We're heading off topic (well kind of, because it's still about China) I thought i should post a bit about my trip to China, since I didn't say much, so ill put it here:
China in General
   1. China has a LOT of people. More details: Well I went to Shanghai for the whole time
   2. Most people speak Chinese and can't speak English. Also lots speak Shanghai Dialect.
   3. Street signs are in BOTH English and Chinese. E.g.: 东兰路 -> Donglan Rd
   4. Also I don't think there are any 'streets' (St), mostly roads (Rd)
World Expo
   1. Each country has its own building, called a Pavilion. Well the size depends on a few factors, such as if your country can afford a big separate pavilion, or have to go into a joint pavilion with several countries. For an idea here's a pic of the China Pavilion (at nighttime with lights on: http://images.china.cn/images1/200712/416040.jpg
   2. Talking about lights, lots of pavilions have night lights on their pictures. However, China and the UK in real life, well only a small amount of light were actually working.
   

ooh! nice graphics, looks like pokemmon. good work!
That's a great game for BASIC! Wow!

don't worry omnim worked perfectly in china! not blocked! thank goodness

ok more news, ive just checked ticalc.org and it has been finally released!

This is great, just like the fake news on ticalc.org, what a great article and a great win!!!

Yeah, calc naming is pretty random too. Casio calcs: the first ones were:
1.  fx-7000G, fx-6000G, fx-6500G, fx-7200G, fx-7500G, fx-8000G, fx-8500G.
2.  Then newer ones (but still old): fx-7700G, fx-7700GB, fx-8700G, fx-8700GB
3.  fx-7700GE, fx-9700GE, fx-9800G, fx-9900G
4.  then 7400 series (7400 and variations)
5.  The 9850 (or 9x50) series (9850, 9750, 9950, 9970)
This is confusing because even though there are games that say are for the 9x50 series, this includes the 9970.
6.  Finally the current calc FX-9860 (and different versions such as FX-9860GII)
As you can see there are random numbers everywhere

If you want to put version numbers for your own programs, I have my personal opinion but the choice is yours.
I like to start from 0.1 and on the way not to have the numbers any more complex than this: .x E.g.: 0.8.3
however if it is a big project then i can use more complex version numbers
But as I say, it's your choice, and basically version numbers are used to put them in order.

also relating to your question above...
V0.13B.54    0.13 version with a beta (or B) 0.54
V3.15A.12:   3.15 version with alpha (or A) 0.12
V1.1.4C.2443: 1.1.4version C? .2443
In my opinion the letters in the middle make it confusing, an example like v0.13.2.54 (2 representing B) or v3.15.1.12 might be better.


V0.2A 0.2 alpha
V1.3B 1.3 beta
These are ok

Overall, they are just used to classify big or small changes in the program.

[TI-nspire OSes are confusing too Eg:
1.1 [noncas] is actually 1.1.9253
2.1 is actually 2.1.0.631
