I found out how to do rle compression today, I'll be adding it to the
ex1b format before I let loose iiu (the beast, Instractor & ini
united) also hope to add the pak and tid loaders. This whole system can be simple or so complex it needs a long tutorial. it's code (for simple users) looks like this: LoadIniFile("MyIni.ini") LoadIniFile("Part2.ini") SetIniSection("general") print GetValue$("name") print GetValue$("date") and inside ini "MyIni.ini" might look like this: [//iiu//] package = Data.ex1b ;will autoload it... case sensative = false null = Not Found ;I shall not explain this now. [General] Date = Friday, December 28, 2001 and inside ini "Part2.ini" might look like this: [General] name = Instractor & Ini United the beauty of having MyIni and Instractor as one is that one can automatically do something for the other, like in the [//iiu//] section, you can have it automatically load the package or packages of your choice. rle compression just might make this a dominating library, but who will have the knowedge of how to unleash it's power? anyone good at writing tutorials? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you know all you wish to know, you wish you never knew.

I know it was never really released, but some day it will... anyway I
now got gradients for backgrounds on windows, and the gradient images
are cached so it runs normal speed AND looks way cooler. I released an
executable demo once on the old showcase, but the next demo will be
twice as cool before I release another demo. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you know all you wish to know, you wish you never knew. Cuando tu sabes todo lo que deseas, tu deseas no haberlo sabido nunca. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

I got it fully functional now, just gotta make all the special code
work the best way, then have it load tid and pak files. I could make a
function for breaking the encryption key on pak files but that might
upset some people so I can't add that. I was able to do it succesfully
once... never mind about that. I mean, there ARE only 256
possibilities....... there will be no alternate filetype saving, and
loading will be beyond simple. I only need to then add lots of help
files for HOW to use this powerfull tool. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you know all you wish to know, you wish you never knew. Cuando tu sabes todo lo que deseas, tu deseas no haberlo sabido nunca. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

I have an english report due tomorrow and it has to be 5 pages typed
and I havn't started... other than that I've been doing a bit on the
all-powerfull Instractor & Ini United, or iiu for short. a little
progress, but I doubt that anyone really cares. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you know all you wish to know, you wish you never knew. Cuando tu sabes todo lo que deseas, tu deseas no haberlo sabido nunca. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

| day 1: Made minimal changes needed for supporting the [//iiu//] section (which doesn't get read by the host program at all) posted notice on general blitz discussion forum hoping to see a medium demand. going to download and inspect other instractors now... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you know all you wish to know, you wish you never knew.

| not sdk, sjk. my initials. Sam James Klaneski it started out months ago as a ball bouncing off the bottom of the screen. I was inspired by a game in DB called OhBaLlZ! which was a really awesome game by Bonks. My Bouncing ball then took on controls. left, and right. then I added a block from which the ball would appropriately bounce in the right direction. Development kept going and after a few months now with the xmas competition comming up, I've got a full-blown platform engine with level editor and everything. 'tis not to fight over who has best demo, but rather to have fun playing a new wave of games in a time where fun is to be cherished. hope you like gravity shifters, those add some uniqueness to my levels. elevators? heaters? collect popsicles? multiple style gameplay? I hope everyone will love my demo, because I'm having trouble buying b3d, I'll just try as hard as $%^& to win it. what's in it for you? a friggin good game. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When you know all you wish to know, you wish you never knew.
