yes the calc version of piworld is still fully backed up, the only projects i lost were the following: Piworld PC, BasiC++, Trillcron, and a xp calculator for the game SAO written in BrainFuck, Trillcron and the xp calc were not posted here tho. I also lost some logs, some music, and some games, but thats pretty much everything. I am kind of excited to get a fresh start on all my projects tho, having that past programming experience will definetly make for better results in the end, plus this whole ordeal has really reminded me of the importance of making multiple backups and frequently saving

I regret to inform you all that my hard drive was wiped from an accidental format, i was unable to recover my projects and will be starting them over from scratch, new topics will be made for each project and the old ones locked.
luckily this is not as bad as it sounds, i probably have Piworld PC on my other computer, and Pifreak still has the original BasiC++ source, so when i say starting over from scratch that is a bit of an exaggeration. However i may/may not start them over from scratch anyway for various reasons.

this topic will be for BasiC++ downloads only, no discussion here

topic locked, going to make a new topic soon, and do the same to BasiC++, as well as a topic explaining why.

yeah, im sure they feel that since calculator haxxorz feel safe haxxorizing their OS because they never update it themselves that maybe if they update it they can somewhat keep control of the situation

I think it is supposed to be like:
Once upon a time there were 7 little eggs: Jerry, Bob, Joe, Lenny, Carl, Jim, and Jeremy
Jerry was a fine young lad and decided on one fateful summers eve to talk to Bob.
He said to Bob, "Hey mate, how would you like to get out of here, i have heard rumors that the master wants to break our shells and bake us into a cake and eat us" Bob: "what?!?! that is a horrible thing to say Jerry, how can you even think such things?!" Jerry: "but Bob, it is true, we have to get out of here..." Bob: NO, I don't know what has gotten into yo-" Bob paused as he saw the master walk by holding an egg "THUD THUD THUD" Bob: *gasp* Jerry: You see!, we have to tell the others!
Scene 2:
Jeremy: NO! I DON'T CARE, I WILL NEVER LEAVE HERE!"

THE END

i rip the characters one by one from the string, convert them to their ascii equivelent, and then reference an array to get the number of how many iterations the loop will need to go in order to be at the location of the character in the image, it then draws a rectangle around the character, blits the character onto the screen, and then moves onto the next character until all have been blit, finally it flips the screen, showing the pretty little message the user entered. :{P
