Right now, North Korea is just your immature little kid who threatens everyone with his nuclear weapons, boasts he's the best country ever and have a hard time to be taken seriously. The USA can take it seriously, just in case... If North Korea ever does the slightest damage with nuclear, then yes it can easily skid into a World War III where North Korea will happily be the Germany of the previous World War. Or at least, a Cold War in the same way USA and Russia had one.

I have a pretty good feeling that if North Korea tries to be Germany and invade everyone with nuclear threats they would be shut down by most of Western Europe and the US. It might piss off some countries, but with their history of human rights violations, I don't think they would be able to be complain too much.

I lost a fair amount of work on SSB in a /home partition corruption; it may take a while to fix more stuff.

If you're doing Windows 98, I think Strong Bad has a theme...

Suggestions from recent game work:
- All the graphics commands should take an optional last argument of alpha. (I'm looking at rect_p and arc_p in particular.)
- arc_p should take an optional fill color after its edge color, filling the section of the circle cut out by the arc. (Circles are a pain to do manually, and it's right there, looking at me...)
- textout_p should take it's GROB first. Everything else does in graphics!
- An option to use fixed-width style for textout_p wouldn't hurt either.
- Pointers or anonymous functions (or just passing functions like variables) would be a godsend. (I know it's a bit like C, but it works. I'd like to stay functional and still modify state, but I can't do that from a function without lists being parsed or global vars, which are icky and hardcoded. Pointers would allow pass-by-refrence.)
- A higher precision version of Time would be nice, even if it's just Unix. (EDIT: I forgot about ticks. derp)
- Includes!

Also, how much does the compiler optimize? I'm a rather functional programmer and like to make smallish functions; would a function like min(x,y) begin return if x > y then y else x end end be inlined each time? If you could give any sort of list, no matter how basic, of compiler optimizations made, that would be awesome.

Loving Unicode in variable names. Can we have a better explanation of user keys on calc? I finally found this, but this should be in help.

Thanks for all you guys do, and good luck on your work.

EDIT 2: I would love pointers. Having call-by-refrence and the ability to assign to on-the-fly variables from otherwise pure functions would be awesome... Also, function pointers.
Related to the optimization topic, can we have an inline tag for functions and either that or a const tag for local program variables?
Would an enum type be a possiblity, working synatically like local (and supporting the other operators)?
I know it sounds like I'm wanting C, but C's pretty boss. There's only so much you can do with effectful BASIC, even if it is compiled.

You could just make all posts read by default.
