  1. @PeterOnion I know what you mean; I just fancied writing some code for young folk. I learned half my trade by understanding example code.
  2. @YOUSRC Is there any way to make the file you declined editable again, or should I just recreate from scratch? Don't like junk & clutter :(
  3. @YOUSRC One of the ways I learned to program was by example; looking at other peoples code. Your site is brill for that. Just passing it on.
  4. @YOUSRC Thank you!! I'm finding programming it totally addictive; there is just enough there to get the job done.
  5. @YOUSRC No rush!! Thanks...
  6. @YOUSRC I've accidentally published a data file; can you do some data trickery at your end to undo the damage?
  7. @YOUSRC Good idea. See, that's the not-reading-the-manual thing I suffer from.
  8. @YOUSRC How about a clear graphics function? Not quite sure what the rules are but undrawing a play field can be slow sometimes...
  9. I wonder how many illegal jobs they'll create... bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
  10. My next PowerPoint presentation is going to be like this: youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1D…
  11. Felt Ill all afternoon. May have to call doc if this cough doesn't improve. On the plus side the new healthy diet is paying dividends.
  12. @YOUSRC That's fine. It's not the only scripting language with a different method for returning values. Yes, BASH. I'm thinking about you.
  13. @YOUSRC I can live with that.
  14. @YOUSRC Ah. I've been using RGB=255,255,255. Thanks.
  15. @YOUSRC Other than that, a very painless experience. I may do a 3D wireframe demo next.
  16. @YOUSRC I kept typing IF/THEN & got confused as to where I could use a calculation. RETVAL as well. But I'm not one for reading manuals.
  17. @YOUSRC Loving the Ultimate homage. Nicely done. My Speccy is in same state it was; just not had time to look at it.
