Tips, Tutorials, Examples / Re: Which should I use?

A little tip. Instead of
Moreover, some people suggest ++i instead of i++. Does the same thing, but is more efficient,
and is safer for recursive functions.
Code: [Select]
int i;
for(i=0; i < width; i++)you could declare you variable at the start of the cycle, like thisCode: [Select]
for(int i=0; i < width; i++)Also, you can do a lot of cool things, likeCode: [Select]
for(int i=0, j=5; i < width; i++, j--)It's called comma operator, and it lets you do more in less space.Moreover, some people suggest ++i instead of i++. Does the same thing, but is more efficient,

General ENIGMA / Re: GML
« on: September 04, 2010, 03:28:06 pm »Each instance placed in a room has a "hard-coded" (tongue and cheek in a runner) ID. This means that no matter how many times you visit the room, the instances in there at load time will be given the same IDDamn it! Is that why the save system goes nuts when you load instances created outside the room editor?
I've seen it trow me errors when I load objects with lists inside. I just don't know ehat the heck is going on inside there.
GM's too obscure. I have to make all kind of backflips to write a simple editor which saves the position of instances inside a .txt file.
Anyway, soon you'll see my solution to RTS and FPS collisions. No sprites involved.

An installer would be cool, but if we just need to unzip a file to install it, then I'm ok with the zip.
But if it's necessary to go through a complex procedure like installing a compiler, then it's needed IMHO.

Not to mention that some Android phones are as closed as the iPhone, or even MORE difficult to "jailbreak".

That's some good news.
Is ds_list_find_value(id,pos) really not implemented? I'd really need it to test lists properly.

When I studied overloading at uni, they told me it was a crucial part of C++.
Sure you can postpone it, but a fix should be scheduled.
