Title: small background tweak\mass produce program
Post by: NecroBob on May 25, 2003, 02:17:04 pm

just a thought, would anybody besides myself benefit from a small VB program that would generate random values for .fs2 backgrounds and do so en masse?
i'm toying with visual basic (I was coding BASIC before I could read) and this is sort of an experiment...
oh well, get back to me with any ideas, I've already got the thing sorta laid out...

[EDIT]
this has probably already been asked, but how do the X\Y divisions come into play?? (the ones right by the scale)

There is already a program made by Kazan that generates random backgrounds;)

[overly literal Aldo mode] How could you code BASIC before you could read?

It was a sort of metaphore. He tryed to ay that he codes in Basic for a very very long time.

Razor, I'd like you to meet Sarcasm. Sarcasm this is Razor. Now that the two of you have met let's get on with the thread.

ah, thank you, I shall look for it (unless one of you all has a link)

and no, it wasn't a metaphor ;)

I was literally programming in BASIC when I was four, the class was verbal :D
it was primarily about programming and how it related to computers, that and programming itself

If that is true, I have serious doubts about the competence of the people who developed the educational strategy used in your school.

lmao
from day 1, I've been screwed by the school system here, and it hasn't changed a bit in 12 years

though it was a summer program in question, not in school :)
