They are "dirty". I proposed writing a warning in the documentation that they were only good for like-architecture, that they weren't endian-agnostic. Dirty functions are good, though. If you know what they do (docs), then you may choose to use them responsibly. Like low-level code. Minimal safety net. As long as the language doesn't crash, no bugs. > This email is a bit too long.

As soon as I will have some spare time I will try to try it... Thanks. My idea is kinda crazy. Dual-analog (on IBM-PC compatible [ia32/64] with Linux) control with Gauntlet-like precision in combat and general movement. Despite having FPS-style controls, the d-pad still moves the player independent of orientation along the eight cardinal directions. Mutable landscape, structures (as in buildings), etc. will make a fun game. It is like Nethack, though some things will be built-in like the ability for two or more players to sign a written, publicly posted document, and agree to enforce it. -- Kevin Fishburne Eight Virtues www: http://sales.eightvirtues.com e-mail: sa...@eightvirtues.com phone: (770) 853-6271 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
