it's ok dude. Maybe I reacted a bit too much; just be careful and credit the source material. You can use my code as samples (SB encourages stuff like this by design) but be sure to credit and phrase it less like you made it all yourself. Learning by example is important ;)

almost got arrested isn't even close he was just legally pressured with a C&D or else he'd be sued

TALK can only speak Japanese, because Japanese is a very easy language to interpret and pronounce. English speech synthesis is very complex so all it does is say the letters.

You should probably update to 3.3.0 to get bin for real

"what's the key"

*Its, not it's ;-)

That's entirely normal. SB just doesn't hide non text files from the slot loader anymore.

"GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD "

LOAD "loadtype:SYS/filename"

The comma works just fine; using a comma instead of a semi removes the automatic ? I'm honestly not sure what the real problem here is

Try something like this: IF SKBATK$=="HIT" THEN 'simulate flipping a coin COIN=RND(2) IF COIN==0 THEN 'do one thing ELSE 'do the other thing ENDIF ENDIF

Better performance testing with MILLISEC! Now we can be über-precise when optimizing.

In layman's terms nobody knows

I don't quite think this is fair. That'd be like giving the JP version Japanese text-to-speech and asking them to pay for it, but they get the English for free. We would have to pay for something we'd use more often, but the Japanese would be given the option of this same product, and they'd get less of an advantage out of it.

I cheated ;) The "circle" is 512 1px-by-24px sprites rotated and arranged in said format. I'm drawing the text to the GRP with GPUTCHR and since it's mirrored by the sprites, it appears to be transformed immediately! Sprites + GRP = powerful

took a bit to get this one working

Starting translating, you mean? ^This guy wants to know

Passing negative values to SPSCALE throws Out of range, despite negative scaling working just fine in SPANIM (the image is mirrored.) Negative scaling also works just fine in BGANIM and BGSCALE, making this behavior very inconsistent. Not entirely related, but passing negative scales to GPUTCHR just draws nothing.

10, actually. SB uses UNIX line endings (line feed)

He could always get a C&D. But he won't.
