lol I highly doubt it would run all that fast either. :) no offense to BASIC, it's a fine language.

EDIT
thanks butts. (can I call you that?) I'll check it out.  :)

lol why not?

Spyro, you could try a technique I read about in Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy (great book!)

Basically, some guys wrote a version of BASIC (possibly the originaly version? idk). They lived in California at the time they wrote it, and their intent with writing it was to get technology illiterate people (read: technofools) to get into programming. They would make some kind of a magician-like demonstration with their computers (harder these days :P), showing them that this box could do amazing things. And then they would talk to them about it afterwards, and in the book they compare it to a drug dealer approach. "Hey, check this out...you like it? You could program this, you know..." et cetera. Good luck with whatever you're doing!

Every day in shaw, she gives us a quiz, and then we correct it and give it back to the person, and then she asks us a random question that we write the answer to on the back. then she reads them to the class. exept it she doesn't say the names of the people. That particular day the question was "what do I do for service to other people?" one of the answers was "I program peoples calculators" but, she didn't say the name. And I think it would be wierd to ask her who it was.
What's IRC?

If you have 40 posts (which you do), at the top page, there's a OmnomIRC ShoutBox. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, and it's pretty much a chat room where we just chill some times.

Ask her! Embrace the akwardness. We may be successful in bringing a new one to the fold lol :)

Axe / Re: How do I store multiple pics into single appvar?
« on: September 20, 2011, 05:34:45 pm »
Suppose you have three appvars. Each of these is 768 bytes in size. One is called "AppVarOne" (yeah, I know it's too long of a name. whatever :) ). Another is "AppVarTwo" and the third is "AppVarThree". You want to combine them into a 2304 byte appvar that you're going to call "Really_Big_AppVar". I would use the following code: (keep in mind that this code has no user interface, it just does it's thing). Oh, and AppVarOne, AppVarTwo, and AppVarThree are all in the archive.

Code: [Select]
.MAKE Make big appvars out of little ones

.load the smaller appvars, the 768 byte ones
.make sure these are in the archive, or this won't work
GetCalc("appvAppVarOne",Y1)
GetCalc("appvAppVarTwo",Y2)
GetCalc("appvAppVarThree",Y3)

.make a new, bigger appvar (make sure this appvar doesn't already exist. if it does, delete it.)
GetCalc("appvReally_Big_Appvar",2304)->W
.let's store the pointer to Really_Big_Appvar in variable W
.and make Really_Big_Appvar 2304 bytes in size.

.Now start copying the small appvars into the big one.
Copy(Y1,W,768)
Copy(Y2,W+768,768)
Copy(Y3,W+1536,768)

.archive Really_Big_Archive (optional) and you're all done!
Archive "appvReally_Big_Archive"


Ta-da! Let me know if that doesn't make any sense. :)

And, I seem to recall a few places in Doom where I would get a key or step on a switch of some kind and doors to rooms would open up all around me with like 5 million+ enemies.

No, I have Wytiaz. Wait, how do you know that they know how to program, but you don't know who it is? Also keep in mind you can use IRC to ask questions if you don't want to wait for a forum reply.
