Okay I am a beginner but I am coming along pretty well but my friends are not so successful... I decided to create a new system of writing to assist them better and make it easier to read as this is #3 priority to me in coding under #1 copying others and #2 increasing speed..
So I was wondering if any beginner's would use this sytem useful...
What is the system? Well I haven't named it or 100% finished it yet but here goes nothing... A list of custom functions:
You usually would load objects like this:
[/code]
sync on: sync rate 0
load object "car.x",1
do
yrotate object 1, wrapvalue((object angle y(1))+1)
sync: loop
end
This is how I do it:
gosub INI_Globals
INI_Init()
INI_LoadObject("car.x","Toyota","cars")
do
INI_Object("Toyota","yrot",INI_ObjYRot("Toyota"))
sync: loop: INI_End()
both 6 lines, but after a while it will be 3:1 ratio after 20 lines or so...
anyone interested let me know.. and I'm working with CodeSurge so I suggest using that as it highlights the keywords and I'm creating a help file...
Let me know if interested... Its already helping people now!!!
Creative criticism welcome
