Okay, to start this out, I was at target and I saw one of those Idog things:

I was thinking, "OMG! That is so funny! Who would ever want one of those! Oh, it is a little dancing dog that listens to your music!" So then I poked around at it, and the left ear came of! OMFG! Then I went to hide it along with other crap, and I saw this:

Then I couldn't stop laughing and just hid the dog and left.

Okay, for the part I care about.

External Resources

Okay, I need some help, I used this line of code:

tex = background_add('Texture Maps/Light',false,false,true)

It works, without any errors, but the background it gives is just white.

I need help, here is the gm6 file if anyone wants to fiddle.

change these two lines

Quote:

shad_tex = background_add('Texture Maps/Ball',false,true,true)

tex = background_add('Texture Maps/Light',false,false,true)

shad_tex = background_get_texture(background_add('Texture Maps/Ball.bmp',false,true,true))
tex = background_get_texture(background_add('Texture Maps/Light.jpg',false,false,true))

Because you need to make the background to a texture (using background_get_texture) and you need to input the file extension when getting external files =)

hmm i never do that… spaces around the =, lime x = 5 i always do x=5 i didnt know the other worked… hmmm

I always do it with spaces around the = like "x = 5". I just always have.

I think spaces look messy and waste line width…

I just use the spaces with the = because it spreads it out more and it is easier to read when the script has lots of words like this one.

And thanks smaksak.

Yeah, especially when they're words. It's just easier to read.

Well, I now use external resources and my file size, (compressed) is still 14mb (300kb less), but it has so much faster loading time.

Example of my code:

if (this = 2) or (that > 2) {
  if (this+that = 5) then
  show_message("fu")
  else
  this += 1
}

Also, my sister has an iDog and thinks it's cool >_> iDog (and fish) are failures.

I don't even have an iPod, so I'd have mo use for one anyway.
