"Nasal spray" is being used as a descriptor, here. "Decongestant" is the subject... in my almighty mind, at least. |

Posted by Kasdarack A degongestant that happens to be powerful and a nasal spray. That's my mode of logic. Screw semantics. |

Posted by Kasdarack I used "nasal spray" as one would use an adjective. Were it "a powerful, colorful degongestant," the comma would be appropriate. Yes, it's correct to omit the comma if "nasal spray decongestant" is a noun, but it's also correct to use "nasal spray" as an adjective. Not that "No comma" has a verb or "Period" has a subject, mind you. Ah, the internet. Bickering about a comma in an image that has no value in the first place. |

I hate hacks for systems that were released prior to 1996. Oh, wait. That was my ego speaking. (-: |

I think that beav-puter was actually creepier. |

For the longest time, I've been kicking around a project where I would document in as informative a manner as possible everything that I've ever learned from hacking F-Zero X for the N64. I figured with the information out there, people could use it to the betterment of galactic civilization.
The main reason I never released the source code for the editor that I made is because I stuck it together in a manner that isn't as organized as it could be. Having said that, it's not one of those "it works, so I won't break it by cleaning it up," but much of the program follows a mode of logic which I figure by this time I'd likely have forgotten. Now, I still intend to document all my findings, but I want to do it a bit different. I'd like to start a brand new editor project and have it be open-source this time around. It would be written in C for cross-platform support, and I hope to fix all of the problems the old editor had, such as that weird perpendicular bug and get some better memory management going. __________ So what I want to know is a few things... Opinions, mainly. I want to know the following: * Who would be interested in supporting the project? Not so much working on it, but supporting it. Giving feedback, testing builds, etc. Following it through to the end, providing helpful input along the way. * Who would be able to help out? I know right now that a cross-platform window system will need to be set up. Other things may require some assistence. I know I'm awesome, but I know other people are awesome as well and I can use some awesome help. (-: * Who wants to use the editor on Linux or Mac OS? Yeah. This one's for you. * If I do this, you think the editor will actually get a little bit of attention this time? On a scale of 1 to 10, please let me know how interested you are in supporting/helping with/working on/using the fruits of such an open-source editor project. 1 represents "Not interested at all," and 10 represents "Completely interested." Please, no negatives or three-digit numbers. For me, I'm gonna say I'm 7. Pretty interested, but not so much so that I'd fret scrapping the idea if morale is low. |

Definitely C. I'm using gcc under Linux, and I know that VC++ uses C89, so I'm sticking with some pretty old conventions. printf() and malloc() all the way, baby. |

Been a while since I actually programmed anything. And this time, it's only compiled for Linux, so I appologize for all you non-Linux users out there who get shafted. A Windows port is on the to-do list.
Anyhow, this new project, titled Conway Entropy, is a 3D interperatation of an old algorithm: Conway's Game of Life. In this implementation, cells come in two colors and rotate around in 3D as to, uh... get a better view with different angles? I dunno, but it looks cool. The only different rule here is that with two colors, new cells are generated according to the colors of its neighbors. Since a cell can only come to life with exactly 3 adjacant, live cells, more than half will always be one color. Therefore, the new cell will take that color... Only makes sense if you know the "game." The exact colors shift hues as time goes on. Just 'cause. Anyhow, here's the binary, with no warranty and as-is. Don't use it if you think it might damage your system. When you launch it, it starts up an X window with an OpenGL context and a randomized universe. To invoke chaos, press the spacebar.

Thanks for the encouragement, but I have no intention of making this my project. I'd like to have a few other people to work with. Since the (few) replies in this thread share a general sentiment of "Sounds good. Have fun," I don't think that I'll be undertaking the project at this time.
Though this is still an open invitation. If anyone is interested in participating in an open-source editor for F-Zero X--programmer or otherwise--go ahead and reply to this post or send me a PM. |

Nope. After the MIO0 files were first dumped, a Yoshi Egg animation was discovered. I believe this was after the debug menu GameShark code was around. |

getc and putc are kinda extranneous for individual bytes of an entire file, aren't they? I recommend loading data into a char array buffer and swapping from there; outputting the file in larger chunks to minimize transfers between the storage device. |

Posted by AT_460 Have you considered upgrading to a 100MHz processor? |

I think Human Services can help you out. It's one of those "necessity of life" things. |

Install Linux. Less costly, and you get any amount of eye candy you want. Linkity |

I'm afraid I have you all beat. My computers become as clean as the day each of their components were manufactured.
I use an air compressor, you see. Not the kind that comes in a 18-oz can. The kind that you use to put air in your car's tires. Yeah. THAT kind. Stick a little trigger nozzle on the end of the hose and summon forth the PSIs. The cooling fans spin faster on cleaning day than they ever could with the computer in operation. |

I'm all for it if they try to recall the GPL. As much as I support the Free Software Foundation, the GNU General Public License is what makes Satan cry. |

You should have clarified, geez. I assumed you were talking about a food compactor. Man, you're a crazy guy. |

Pretty good except for the words "Intel," "Microsoft," "Windows" and "Gateway." But other than that, looks just great! |

I love the end of it, where the Graffiti Research Lab and Anti-Advertising Agency... well... advertise for themselves. |

There's more to life than schooling. What happens when you're out of college? Your'e delerious if you think you'll "take your newfound credentials and find a high-paying job in the field" or the like. |
