Keeping in mind I love coding, I've found this fairly well sums it up perfectly.

Coding a game is just like having your computer crash every 5 minutes while your trying to finish a very important term paper for 2 years.

...

Think of how good it feels when you're done.

Is this because you're not very good

@ Mr Flibble: no, it`s cos DB isn`t very good at catching it`s own errors

for example I discovered today that if you span a for-next loop accidentaly across two functions, not only does Pro not spot it, it compiles and runs it (well...sortof runs it), LOL every days an adventure.

I think he means something like this:

function a()
for i=1 to 10
endfunction

function b()
next i
endfunction

curses!, I can`t get a snippet to do that with functions, but it does it with gosubs easily enough, the original weirdness was a couple of functions I made from one large one, but I can`t get a snippet that will compile now (just like when the TV repair man arrives and the TV is working perfectly by the time he gets there), however it falls for it if you use gosub easily enough, eg:



thats funny, it should spot that, when you run it you get an unexpected result as well , it does run, but it just prints

etc
