I'm gonna go against the grain and say coffee can improve your concentration, but only if you drink it very rarely, like maybe before you go to a job interview. It helped me once at an interview, but that was back when I was against it. Lemonade can help you think expansively, but i was stoned that time. I can't think of anything else really, but if you make a do of taking something to improve your concentration, or enhance your mind, it probably will. Try to be various in your selections, otherwise there'll be no novelty in your new mindstate. Eat fruits you normally wouldn't when you are hungry, see if they have some effect. Passionfruit can make you sleepy and buying strawberries can ease your pocket at the supermarket.

 You can't make the choice for someone else that they didn't freely choose to live the lifestyle they are.

Also, what's 'capitalism' but focusing on business over workers? China is richer than the US now probably, nearly all cultures are part of the global currency.

I should rescind my last post, 'cause I realise now that communism isn't any more idealistic than democracy, they're whatever the government is at the time of it calling itself one. It doesn't matter what gov. anyone is, it's the actions of the person(s) that matters.

Arena looks great Toady. Keepin it oldskool.

wouldn't a /100 work just as well as a *.01

Yeah it would, but it's less expensive to compute a multiply , even though this isn't a critical area, so it was just a case of habit.

...

I know it can be a problem, I just didn't bother , seeing as it's not the most quality game/distraction. I will if you want though. Or you could if you d/l the freebasic compiler. I guess just put a check in the main loop to see if anything is within a bound-box of a ring and redraw it.


If you can figure out where to put all that, and you're a better programmer than me IIRC anyway, go ahead. Download freebasic compiler and run from the command line "fbc brunner.bas". It's even likely the source is more up-to-date than the .exe, but not by much. (Haven't logged into windows for a while for a win compile)

afterthought: Or you could use a sqr, probably wouldn't be any cheaper drawing the circle unnessacarily all the time. fk i can't spell that word.

Is it possible, I'm trying to donate my remainder, but it just won't validate it. There's $5.30 aud left, I've tried 4.91 usd, 4.90 and 4.70 so I don't think it's a conversion problem.

EDIT: Actually, I don't think it's been verified yet.

Doesn't matter now anyway, I think those fuckers charged me $4 for the decline. Oh to be a bank exec. I've emailed them a nice letter.

Thanks mate. I rarely get a game to turn out this good. That bug I think has to do with converting integers to decimals, should be easy to get around but I didn't see it as a high priority. I'm working on it now, got a couple of different modes in and about to make it so the high scores are saved. I'll probably update the link soon.

A quick game I adapted from some old garbage. It's written in freebasic and includes the source, there's plenty of optimisations and stuff you can make to it (the code is shit in other words )

Dodge the purple pixels and collect the treasure.

I think you're talking out your arse there neruz, my mate was telling me about a time he was climbing a tree to pester a koaloa and all of a sudden it came zooming down at him face first, as fast as they run along the ground, slashing his face and scaring the fuck out of him, bear in mind he was hunting boars with his dog, he's not a chicken shit. But it also had a cub on it's back IIRC.
