Danger, work in progress... Here, a little glimpse of my demo, under construction...
You can expect a fully tested level in the next few days... |

Here's something:
Suppose Bob lends 20$ to Jerry. In accounting terms, we can say Jerry is at -20$ (debt of 20$) and Bob is at 20$ (equity of 20$). In other words, when anyone contracts a loan, going into negative, another party must go into the positive, to keep balance. Correct me if the terms I used are not exact... Now, my observation is this: if we take the previous principle as granted, then how can ALL countries in the world be in the negative (debt) at the same time? Most countries in the world are indebted to other countries, and vice-versa. But no country is in the positive balance, as dictacted by the previously stated (mathematical) principle. How are we supposed to repay the debts if EVERYONE is in the negative? |

Posted by Sukasa Interesting point. But it doesn't mean that the population is indebted towards this 1% (or whatever) of very wealthy people. It just means they hold more money. And for the sake of argument, let's just take governments debts alone. Why aren't there some countries in the - and others in the + ? If two countries own moeny to each other, you should be able to just cancel the difference, no? is there any less simple answer? If Australia owes Germany 45 billion $, and Germany owes Australia 23 billion $, why not cancel each other like this: 45 - 23 = 22 So, Australia owes Germany 22 billion $ and Germany owes Australia 0... |

It's an ex Bank of Canada, the Fed, Bank of Europe, etc., are not exactly government, except on paper... In day-to-day transactions, charter banks don't "print" money with a printer, but they create money in electronic form. That's what I meant by that... |

If you can't finish the original Contra game with less than 30 lives, I'm afraid my demo will leave you breathless... |

Don't expect a detailed answer to a not-so-detailed question...
You can't "configure" a USB port. Your problem is about your cam settings in whatever software you're using, not the port... What happens when you plug your cam on the front? |

Going through Contra without losing any lives is not that hard, but not super easy either...
I can finish the game in about 15 minutes without losing more than 5 lives... I recorded a video using my camera (photo camera), and I had to cut it because the memory card got full half way... Just to go along with the joke... Contra Run 1 Contra Run 2 Anyways... |

Then, where does the money grow? In a tree? In the ground? In a laboratory?
Where does the money come from when you contract a loan? |

It doesn't answer my question, though. When you contract a loan, you don't receive the money in paper form or metal coins, nor do you receive ingots of gold from the bank clerk. It is usually added to your bank account, electronically. So where does this money come from? From what account? |

I like the concept...
Large levels with some sort of puzzle spice... Talking to people... Nice! I don't like the time limit, though. Either increase the timer substantially, or better (IMO), remove it completely. With levels looking more like labyrinths, I'd prefer not have the pressure to find the exit... I like the new Koopas, boomerang, hammer, bomb, shells... Very good... There's a design bug in Grasslands 1. If I remember correctly, it's when you enter a sub-section via a little green two-way pipe. When you return to the main section, you end up in the wall and die... Grasslands 2 also contains a lot of cramped spaces, where you need to be small Mario. Although it may be intended, it feels somewhat awkward at times... Keep up the good work on that project. I think it has very good potential... |

And when I go to the automatic teller machine, and make a withdrawal, I receive paper money, right? It's not in electronic form anymore. Where does it come from? Does the bank have infinite money, like in Monopoly? This means they charge me interest and fees without any risk? I pay for inifinite money?
Talk about fairness... |

If people start wondering about Spatula's usefulness, it will be time to think about deleting the section all along... |

The major difference between metals and money is that money is not [supposed to be] a merchandisable good, it's just the mean, the record of an amount of work used to buy goods. Metals are goods meant to be extracted, transformed, sold and bought... |
