Ooops, it may only exist for Characters, not objects! Sorry!

But how is gettextwidth to know whether you will print the string one way or another?

Code: ags

String x="abc%%d";
Display("%s", x); // One way: prints two %
Display(x); // Another, prints one %

That looks like some of Proskrito's SCUMM template to me: try using my updated version, or at least comparing the code.

If someone behind me is driving too close, I slow down until their distance is safe for the speed we end up going.

If you use the Z coordinate I mentioned, you only need the walkable areas that you already have

Lewis also briefly addresses that objection to this trilemma, that Jesus never in fact made the claims that were attributed to him. He rules out the possibility of misrepresentation by the original disciples on the grounds that they were also Jews: it is as unlikely that they would have falsely attributed the claim to Jesus than that he would have falsely made it. In one passage he says "That theory only saddles us with twelve inexplicable lunatics instead of one." Presumably, one could respond "But the disciples might have been liars, or fools, or bad men", to which Lewis might have said "Why should liars, or fools, or bad men go to such trouble to create a religion they themselves did not believe in?". Remember that it is well established outside the bible that far from being some kind of big business for the early disciples, they were persecuted, tortured and killed for their beliefs. Many would not recant them even when offered freedom rather than death as a result. Is that what someone who had just made it all up would do?

CS Lewis was a scholar of ancient legends at Oxford, and a great firend of Tolkien. He considered the possibility that what we have read about Jesus are only legends. This he rejects on literary grounds: "I have read a great deal of legend and I am perfectly sure that they are not the same sort of thing." In a separate essay, Fern Seed and Elephants he argues, from style and internal evidence, that the gospels are "reportageâ€"though it may no doubt contain errorsâ€"pretty close up to the facts."

You'd prefer it God had made people obedient robots? Like those Iraqi elections where Saddam used to get 100% of the vote, it would be worthless being good if there was no choice.

Doesn't make sense in what way?

Someone mentioned a while back that the popularity of adventure games went down with the increase in usage of the internet, this allowing people to obtain walkthroughs easily.

Nah, its because trying to find useful information on the internet is like a point-and-click adventure puzzle

or even...

spot the difference...

Object baselines determine whether one object is drawn in front of another, and you can use the "Z" co-ordinate to give an object height, it would be easy to do a Z-co-ord jump where the trajectory was shaped like a "^".

As for the end-locations not working, I'm not sure which bit of code that you have is supposed to be checking for this situation... can you elaborate?

The player character still exists, even if they are invisible, so you can use player.PreviousRoom.

You could detect, using #ifdef, if the user has already got the vector module included, and if they have: use it, if not use an array...

Many countries, including the UK, are desperately short of skilled medical workers, so if you contact the British consulate, I'm sure they'd be very happy to hear from you.

Perhaps those guys were reading too much Frank Peretti

If you add up the values of all the letters in "Adventure Game Studio" you get 224. Multiply this by the number of Technical Forums and you get 672. Subtract the number of global moderators and you get 666!

I could start a new denomination of Christianity right here right now where we just believe Jesus was some real nice guy who helped people and wasnt actually god's son at all!!

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of thing Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunaticâ€"on a level with the man who says he is a poached eggâ€"or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

There is no halfway house and there is no parallel in other religions. If you had gone to Buddha and said 'Are you the son of Bramah?' he would have said 'My son, you are still in the veil of illusion'. If you had gone to Socrates and asked, 'Are you Zeus' he would have laughed at you. If you had gone to Mohammed and asked 'Are you Allah?' he would first have rent his clothes and then cut your head off. If you had asked Confucius 'Are you heaven?' I think he would probably have replied, 'Remarks which are not in accordance with nature are in bad taste.' The idea of a great moral teacher saying what Christ said is out of the question. In my opinion, the only person who can say that sort of thing is either God or a complete lunatic suffering from that form of delusion which undermines the whole mind of man. If you think you are a poached egg, when you are not looking for a piece of toast to suit you, you may be sane, but if you think you are God, there is no chance for you. We may note in passing that He was never regarded as a mere moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produced mainly three effects â€" Hatred â€" Terror â€" Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild approval.

CJ only claims his cut on games that are not riddled with spelling mistakes, so you'll be OK.

The Pharisees are NOT today's jews wtf?

Actyually, I think he may have got this right by accident:

After the destruction of the Second Temple, the Pharisaic sect was re-established as Rabbinic Judaism â€" which ultimately produced normative, traditional Judaism, the basis for all contemporary forms of Judaism, with the possible exception of the Karaites.

God is like Santa for adults, only good guys get Heaven for a present.

That's not what Christians believe. Christians know they are not good enough, which is why Jesus needed to die for their sins...

Still all of you agree with me that he did out of desparation before dying trying to save himself. So if you are rastafrari who thinks of converting to christianity because marley did, that shouldn't be the reason.

If he was desperate to save himself, surely he would then go the religion he thought most likely to be true. Thus Marley being desperate actually stengthens the cause of Christianity over Rasta. And I don't know why you think "all of you agree with me".

As you say, lions will eat lions. Other animals eat their own kind, and not only in extreme circumstances. I'm not sure why it's a faulty line of thought, please elaborate.

Can you provide some kind of reference for this?
