Last view: 6003 days 		Life is different after high school. Instead of looking forward to another state-required year of acedemic torture, you actually have to make decisions about what you'll spend your time doing. The world doesn't quite look the same post-secondary.

Last view: 6003 days 		{ and }, in the world of programming documentation, are quite commonly referred to as "Curly Braces," while I just personally call them "Braces." The < and >, FYIngly enough, are "comparison brackets."

When using languages with braces, I do the good ol': 

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    if (argc == 1) {
        printf("\nHey, man. Give an argument, man.\n");
        return 1;
    } else if (argc > 2) {
        printf("\nHoly cow, not that many!\n");
        return 2;
    }

    printf("\nYour argument is %s!\n", argv[1]);
    return 0;
}

I don't see a real need to put the brace on the next line. I mean, if you have more than one statement, you need a brace, and I always indent under such circumstances. To me, the first line in the block introduces the indentation, and the closing brace signals its end.

If there is only one statement within the block, I will rarely, if ever (never happened yet) include the braces. Depending on the length of the line, however, I have been known to newline and intent as if there were braces. Example: 

if (ThingImTestingFor == 2)
    Jeez(ThisIs, AVery, Freaking, LongLine, Sorta, NotReally);

Just wondering, it's usually called tertiary, isn't it?
Following the list of ordinates, yes. However, education after high school is usually referred to as "post-secondary education." Since college, internships, specialized acedemics and the like all fit into the category--and neither one is necessarily a prerequisite of the others--the word "Tertiary" isn't so much applicable because you can't say which one will come next after high school.

Anyhow, all I meant by my comment is that life, for myself and I'll say most others, looks different after high school. When you have different things to look forward to than another year of school, you start making observations about how the world works and what role you want yourself to have in it.

I don't know about anybody else, but it was the few months after I graduated high school when I started to really be bothered by people's general motive for doing what they do. Politics, career titles, money... all fairly disgusting from my point of view. Nothing I ever cared to think about when there was homework to do.

Disturbing. Yes. Certainly, you guys are mistaking the word "funny" to mean "disturbing." That must be what's going on.

Last view: 6003 days 		It's important to rememebr that blending is NOT the same as transparency; it's a technique used to simulate transparency. A solid pixel takes the COLOR of its source and destination pixels in the buffer, and depth testing would make any pixel drawn behind it, well... not drawn to the buffer. I hope that makes sense.

But like Cellar Dweller mentioned, draw everything back-to-front when alpha blending in order to adequately display objects that need to appear transparent.

Last view: 6003 days 		PaintPicture takes a "Picture" as an argument, not a filename. LoadPicture(), however, takes a filename and returns a "Picture" from it. So your code is close, but just needs some revision:

lvl.PaintPicture(LoadPicture(App.Path & "\sprites\" & sphexnum & ".bmp"), xpos, ypos, width, height)

It's funny how a country bragging about 'freedom' also manages to break UN's human rights.
I'm reminded of my grandparents' friends, who live in the UK. They told a story of a man who, while defending his own home from an intruder, accidentally injured the would-be robber. So, due to his violent act, he was imprisoned. He had high marks for good behavior, but they would not release him because he was "an endangerment to criminals."

If I had the man's name, I'd let you know. This I did not make up.

Last view: 6003 days 		I think Rainbow Road's star rail is actually drawn to the buffer with depth testing disabled... or maybe the track portion is... or maybe the depth buffer is cleared between the two... There's any number of explinations, but it's depth-test related instead of blend related.

Ah, the intricacies of 3D graphical development. It's one of the only forms of programming that's like an art. Some people become very proficient with graphical tricks, while others still think that the objects are solid...

Last view: 6003 days 		I figured that somebody gets paid big money to come up with promotional names and logos for drugs that come out on the market. I'm also aware that even though common side-effects include loss of vision, kidney detonation, reverse bowel function and death, they still try to sell you on all the good points. Try to make it worth it.

I thought I'd try my hand on it. Behold: Rexatim!



Yeah, so the logo can use a little work. But it gets the point across!

Rexatim is a new, state-of-the-art nasal spray designed to effectively and quickly clear up clogged sinuses and respiration pathways. Using all-natural ingredients, this intuitive medication is completely harmless and can be used whenever you like with no harmful side-effects and no chance for addiction. So next time you need to breathe, reach for Rexatim!

...Of course, you'll only understand the humor once you know what "allicin capsaicinate" is, so I'll leave that one up in the air. Enjoy!
