> I have a some problems Your biggest problem, annnymommy, is that you are posting from a SPAM account. Seems that I have to re-adjust my KittenAuth VC filtering system now... Are you still fiddling around with it, or are these daily spam registrations already automatically created? Well, you won't ...

> Btw: why it gives no score at all??? Because the original Supaplex did not have such thing as a scoring system, if I remember correctly. You could only solve levels, but did not earn any score. I think I have changed this for 3.2.0, but I'm not sure yet. Try it with 3.2.0-8 to check... In any case...

OK. It seems that there was just another reason created to use "ASCII smilies": To remind people that smilies already existed on text-only terminals in the Internet (Usenet, to be precise) long before the WWW was created... ;-)

I wouldn't have written that if I wouldn't be sure that he's alive and kickin', waiting for your ConfEdit feedback... ;-)

> And 256/4=64 > Then I see why 64 is a good number here. Yep. The main advantage is that you can just mask out the upper two and/or lower six bytes, and then just treat them independently (instead of, for example, checking if that value is between 64 and 127 (or 128 and 191 etc.) and then knowing t...

It has never been used so far. This code and definitions were added for two reasons: (a) There's no such thing as "reading or writing a 16 or 32 bit value from or to a binary file" -- you always need to know if you use network byte order (big endian) or intel style byte order (little endia...

Ever wanted to visit Amsterdam (what a shame, as it's really not that far away from western Germany where I live) -- so it would be a good place... :)

Very good example -- now I understand your idea! :-) Your solution would be nice because you won't have to edit any config file for this!...

Maybe you're right...

Ever tried to create such fantastic level sets for Rocks'n'Diamonds with new graphics and sounds by yourself, but always had trouble and problems editing all those configuration files to define artwork with a text editor? Here's the solution: ConfEdit by Alan Bond! ConfEdit is the ultimate swiss arm...

Stop counting, it's already released! :-)
