[108] Finally, a New Avatar

…Yeah, it's kind of lame. JUST KIDDING! IT'S REALLY THE COOLEST THING IN THE WORLD!!

Now that that's over with, time for some more important things to ramble about. And by "more important" I secretly mean "of about the same importance, which is next to none."

First of all, that Flash movie I said I'd have done? Not done.

Secondly, I've gotten farther on Theta (my latest redo of TOPDOWN). It now has external resource loading, which is to say that the only resources in-game are two rooms, a few objects, and a bunch of scripts. EVERYTHING ELSE is loaded externally. And the way it's loaded is cool, too. It extracts all of the resources from a 7-Zip archive into a temporary folder, loads them, and then removes the temporary folder. And did I mention the whole thing is controlled by XML?
Quote: list.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<!DOCTYPE configuration SYSTEM "list.dtd">

<resourcelist>

<sprites>

<resource file="ball.bmp" name="BALL" />

<resource file="lawl.bmp" name="FAILURE" />

</sprites>

</resourcelist>
Yeah, I'm pretty awesome. Not really, though.

So with that I'll leave you with a <em>highly exclusive</em> screenshot and be on my way. It's 5:25AM, I haven't slept, and school in fewer hours than I'd appreciate.

According to Mrpacman…

27=9

therefore…

3=1

and then…

3=9 or 1 or 27 or 243 or 3^anything

Basically you screwed up all existance of math in the Universe MrPacman. I hope you're happy.

No wonder why I beat you on the Math part of the SAT.

Hahaha…I never thought a simple mathematical error could result in the destruction of the universe. Way to go, MrPacman. [>>]

yay! I have destroyed the universe!

and yes, that was a joke, thanks for noticing
