OKAY, So I cannot do skype but we can look into a different means of doing it. I also cannot do 7, on short notice, because I have to go to dinner. I probably could do 8 though.

I actually might be able to. Looking into it more.

Errm, after looking at it, I can't do Skype. So we can discuss an alternative in the chatroom?

Randomly spawning sprites, assuming that you use SPVAR for everything and not different variables, can be done by checking for the next available sprite, and creating a new sprite in a random location. example: IF RND(300)==0 THEN FOR I=0 TO 511:IF !SPUSED(I) THEN BREAK:NEXT SPSET I,80 SPVAR I,0,RND(50):SPVAR I,1,RND(50) ENDIF But that's a crude example, but it hopefully it will help.

The problem that I see is that NM is not being set to NM+1. Basically, rather than saying "PRINT?NM+1" you should do "INC NM:PRINT?NM". If you don't understand why, it's because you're passing NM+1 to print, which increments that copy of the data but not the actual thing. But I'll assume that you'll understand, and not go too far into how code works.

Yeah, I know. That which is too far of a stretch will not be compiled. Some things I am trying to add but may not happen, and that's ok. If there's a reason to really need it, then I'll make an alternative (like char being strings). But this is just a thing that I decided to see how far could go.

There is no way to animate a specific BG tile. However, if it is something as simple as opening a door, you could just place the new tile there, which would override the old one. You could potentially have it be dynamic, but it would most likely make the rest of the program freeze if you coded it simply.

I don't think so. I might be able to, but don't count on it. But tomorrow should be good.

So after you've set up the collision you would want to do something like VAR SIZE=3 WHILE TRUE IF SPHITSP(...) THEN INC SIZE SPSCALE 0,SIZE/100 WEND or something of the like. Hope this helps!

Wait, can we move that to tomorrow? My dad's birthday is today so we're probably going to be doing something.

If I'm not on at 7, I'll be on at 8, and probably shortly after 7. I'm going to dinner now.

So I know that Start will end a program, but there's one problem - it doesn't work during pop-up dialogues. Is there a way to terminate it if I accidently made it pop-up repetetively?

Not main. The 'yell' function.

When you don't want to make more functions, make a function to change the Standard Input! This is another thing I am to add soon.

If you want to clear a specific tile do BGSET LAYER,X,Y,0. If you want to clear all of one type it would be more complex.

You cannot use these characters. You can only use alphanumeric and _ characters. You could do something like _html_ and _1html_ or whatever.

There are a TON of C's. The two you said are right. I know there's also C#, and the products of the C family, such as D. Overall, C is a big group.

Very commonly, yes. Linux uses C, I believe. Or maybe Unix, maybe both. Either way.

Hooray! Say hello to voids! You can make void functions and call them just like regular! On a side note, I need to make main global, as it's not working otherwise with pointers. Pointers work inside of main though.

Alrighty!
