Title: Splash screen code
Post by: meego on June 04, 2008, 10:24:56 am: Just for the sake of curiosity, what's the code displayed in the new splash screen?

Post by: karajorma on June 04, 2008, 11:19:40 am: Nope. It's definitely C code from the game.

I can see it checking flags on objects and parse objects. But it's far too small a snippet for me to identify. :)

Post by: phreak on June 04, 2008, 07:59:17 pm: i thought it was the kamakazie sexp, which was written by me and Sesquipedalian

edit: yes it is sexp_shield_off(), which was written by sesq, and later re-written by goober. So that code doesn't even exist in the codebase anymore.

Are you being serious?

Post by: Goober5000 on June 06, 2008, 07:29:48 am: Yeah, I deleted cole's post yesterday and I'm deleting the others too. Don't post links to Encyclopedia Dramatica on HLP.

Post by: colecampbell666 on June 06, 2008, 01:06:15 pm: That's not the same thing. ED is basically 4chan in wiki format. Uncyclopedia is a satirical version of Wikipedia.
