Which is why I don't really think it's work counting. But that game in BASIC? Psh, that would be easy. :P

Really?  Easy?  Then can you type it out for me?  It would be nice to be able to effortlessly (or as close as you can get when you're using code) make simple games.  My school math book had a little BASIC code, but it was just math functions.

Well, all the functions you used are pretty universal. It wouldn't be that hard to replicate using a form of BASIC. If I still had Small BASIC installed, I'd make a quick conversion, but I don't, and I'm not particularly familiar with the syntax since it's been so long since I last used it. :/

Oh.  Well that proves my point!  I hadn't used Python in maybe a year (minimum) when I made this.  Python just flows naturally.  Can you say that about BASIC in such a way that it plays off that last bit about not doing BASIC in so long?  Oh, and isn't BASIC free?  So why can't you just re-install it?  Low on file memory?

Nah, I've got well over 500GB free, I just don't really want to install something I'm not going to use again.

And trust me, it's not that BASIC is that hard to remember. I still know TI-BASIC like the back of my hand even though I haven't touched it in probably a year now. Small BASIC, however, was just something I dabbled in for maybe a couple weeks before deciding it wasn't really that useful.

Oh.  Okay.  And wow, my Macbook Air doesn't even HAVE 500 GB!  It has 111.11 GB.  How is TI-BASIC, by the way?  I'm always curious about new programming languages.

TI-BASIC is a dialect of BASIC implemented in Texas Instruments graphing calculators, most notably the TI-83 and TI-84 series. It's very simple and rather slow, but it's very useful because it can be used to program the calculator to perform tasks without writing first on a computer, compiling and sending it to the calculator.

I don't really know what that means, but okay, sure.  You mean it programs calculators?  I'll look into Visual or Dark Basic one day, maybe.

Exactly. You actually write and run the code using the calculator.

Oh.  Interesting.  Not exactly what I need.  Still kinda cool (I guess).  By the way, are you really a GUY?

Yes. Really.

Really really?

Hey Harakou, help, please?

I don't know much about writing to text files, but I can take a look at the problem with blocking. Is that what you need help with?

Help?  Anyone?
