Well, sentance has two spelling mistakes, so I'm counting that as two.

No, see, its a paradox.
There are two errors; the word "sentence" and the word "error". But the statement says that there are three errors. Therefore, the statement is false. BUT WAIT! The fact that it says there are three errors, when there are really only two, IS and error!
BUT WAIT AGAIN!
If that is an error as well, then that means there ARE three errors in the sentence!
AGGGH! BUT WAIT!
If there ARE three errors, then the the assertion that there are three errors is true, thus making the third error not an error! but THAT means that there are errors in your error so you can error while you error!
AGAGAAGJAJGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Get it? Its a paradox.

But it's not, because I can clearly spot 3 errors in the sentance. You didn't state that the errors in the sentance would be entire words, therefore the 2 errors in the word sentance count as 2 errors.

First off, YOU are spelling the word "Sentence" incorrectly. There is not an "a" in that word.
Second, it doesn't matter how many wrong letters there are in a word. In spelling, a word is either spelled correctly or it isn't.
Example:
Correct spelling: "cheeseburger"
Incorrect spelling: "cheesburger"
Incorrect spelling: "cheesebruger"
Incorrect spelling: "chasborgentergo"

See? It doesn't matter how many letters are incorrect. Its not like there's an incorrect spelling scale, where one wrong letter is a 0 and five wrong letters is a ten. Spelling is either correct or incorrect. One or zero. On or off. Yes or no.

I have a devious mind.

OH dang. Snap to grid. That would also be useful. Also easy enough I think. If (key pressed), x# = x, etc. Drop the floaty decimaly things.

@MSon: He may not be using IanM's Matrix1 utilities, so Find Free Object/Image won't be recognized as commands.



Rewrote script, level, and object loaders to use more than 256 items.
Switched skybox to skydome.
Added category flag to object data.
Added category tabs to sort preview objects.

Next: Level options and Load object interfaces.

@ General Jackson
No Prob, its nice to fly through the sky instead of a plain surrounding as its instant graphcs to fill the whole screen, But if you do a google image search under SkySphere, you will be able to find some others aswell, i have several for day/night/cloudy, ect.

@ Venge
I loose track of which commands are DB Default ones, and which are IanM's as i just use them as default commands, if anyone does ever tell me they don't have them DLL's, then usually i advice that the free Matrix1 DLL's are a must Add-On for DarkBasic, Lets be honest, IanM's Matrix1 DLL's should be bundled with all DarkBasic Updates by default.

Adopt a pixel? Interesting idea. I'm going to build off of this and start a pixel orphanage.




And about YodaCoffeManCoder...

I'm sorry to have to report this but... He choked on my cousin yesterday. Sadly enough, my cousin and Yodaman both perished in the battle for oxygen.

Two commas to separate the prepositional phrase. Or,

which is what I was referring to.

My, my, something has gone terribly amiss with my desktop. I right clicked it and went to Graphics Options (or something like that, I cannot remember) and turned off Desktop Icons out of curiosity and now I cannot select anything on my desktop. It won't even allow me to right click. Bah, is there a way to fix this? I'm running Windows XP.

[edit] Little more info. My desktop background won't even show up when I minimize my windows. I have no desktop anymore, evidently. When I go to the start menu and click control panel, it only de-activates the current window, making it useless to click on unless I un-minimize it on the taskbar. Please help, I'm having a horrible problem with this.

I had to force a hard reboot. It seems everything is back in order but my virus scanner picked up quite a few potential threats. Think a virus could have caused my desktop to vanish and disable the control panel?

yes though it normmaly replaces it with buy my AV now.

Ive been trying to put this in words since i was thirteen...

"Ignornace is bliss" no, Knowledge is power. Every man, women and child is a god. We create and effect the world around us, we define our very exsistance in life. We can create life, we are life and we control its flow. Each of our dreams, decisions, actions change something. We are humbled by each other, we act through our lives, leaving prints on people we meet, leaving evidence we exsisted. We are immortal, we do not just die, we live in others, we are remembered by our actions our loves, our children.

I think i understand now.

I can breath easier now.

I disagree. We barely control, create or destroy anything on our own, and the human race are only notable as a whole - individuals have little or no effect at all, with only some notable exceptions.

Your thinking too big,

A random act of kindness, a smile, a gift, there a pebbel in the ocean, but they leave thier mark, that random act of kindness, a unselfish will, changes that person it will casue them to act differently, even if its for a brief amount of time it changes them, and that next action in that state of mind drops another pebbel. Enough ripples, enough pebbels and anyone can affect the world.

But bubble bursting is my job!

My point is, sure we can affect things, in very small ways... but that doesn't really matter. We can all affect the world, but it's not important in any way.

And bad acts leave marks as well, usually much bigger ones.

I hate being a empath at times, not the voodoo kind, the type of person who is affected by anothers mood and will feel the same pain, or happiness. Its more painful keeping them at arms length and withdraw away from them. Its cold...

Its something not many people know about, its strange, but it seems am losing my mask now here.

I like it.
