Ryan Timothy: Regular expressions are also great for scenarios like that. Something like:

Code: ags

$new_str = preg_replace('/([^0-9]*?)([0-9]+?)([^0-9]*?)/i', '$1 inserta$2insertb #3', $old_str);

I'm sure it can be done way better than that, but it's just an example. Not even sure if it's faster and more efficient than Calin's methods.

The Westboro Baptist Church. That's the main thing that's wrong with the world. That people like them exist at all.

How about if I say this MIGHT be so?
Purple is tone what you've learned that is purple. Bright blue also. But it might absolutely be different from tone others see!
Or what if other people see it vice versa? Or what's green for your mind and eyes appears totally blue for others? How can you ever check this theory or be sure? It's not like anyone could switch to your eyes and compare that colors seen from both persons' eyes are exactly same.

I can somewhat disprove this: light isn't divided neatly into exact hues, it's spread across a range of frequencies. If what you proposed above were true, you'd have some humans seeing red and green and two slightly varying shades of purple. As it stands now, we only have specific forms of color-blindness (red-green being the same, for example).

I read your idea, LGM... I'm very much interested... especially in the parts that remind me of, as you said, Frequency, Pandorum and BTTF. I LOVE time travel elements, and have always wanted to see/make a game with that in it.

Do you have a specific idea in mind for a game, LGM? Or are you looking to jump on board with an existing project?

Wow, that sucks, Mods. Same thing happened to me back in 2004 with my hard drive crash, and I know how it must feel.

I vote we kill it with fire.

One more "Calin looks like a girl" joke, and we'll have reached critical mass! Come on, people, we can do this!

Calin-lovers vs. Calin-haters: FIGHT!!!1111

Maybe it's just a very personal thing, but I find that stupid/ugly avatars really color my impression of a post...

My avatar can't help at all then.

I certainly don't hate Calin. I'm just saying he can be a dick sometimes. Then again, so can I.

To be fair, I wasn't the one claiming that the only features left to add to AGS were frivolous ones, then being sarcastic with his argument. Chicky, you yourself claimed that Calin was saying that AGS was pretty much perfect, but everybody should realize that nothing is perfect. If CJ decides to abandon AGS, then fine, that's his prerogative, but if he still has the same attitude today that he has for the past 10+ years, then I don't see AGS just halting in its development.

You're a bit unclear on what exactly you want me to say in my own thread, Chicky.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that, Snake.

This would be useful. And monkey, the average might not type in "GameName.exe -param1", etc., but your game's installation program might create two different shortcuts, one pointing to "GameName.exe -something" and the other to "GameName.exe -somethingelse", for instance. There are tons of uses for this feature.

I figure it's about time I post pictures of my kids. Here's my daughter, Lilah:



And my son, Lucas (in my shoes):



And, of course, me:

Well, you were certainly implying it, Calin, by saying that the only features left to add were frivolous ones.

AGS filled all reasonable expectations 6 years ago, but it still continued to improve.

Well, I wasn't aware that AGS has reached the absolutely pinnacle of its development. It is the only computer program to ever do that in the history of personal computing. Unless there are any other examples I'm missing where the software halted in development because it reached absolute perfection?

People probably thought 2.72 was the pinnacle of what AGS could achieve. There is always room for improvement, and I'm not talking about the rarely-usable features you cherry-picked, Calin. Until CJ says himself that AGS is done and over with, there will always be more versions of AGS.

Which was?

Well, CJ has always been but one man, and he's been improving AGS for well over 11 years and counting. Unless he's getting burned out and I missed that fact.
