IMAGINARY MEGABYTES?
Game Maker fixed that by writing it to the hard drive instead.

IMAGINARY MEGABYTES? 1MiB (Mebibyte, mega binary byte) = 1048576 bytes. 1MB can equal both 1048576 bytes and 1000000 bytes. Not to be confused with 1Mib, "Mebibit", "Mega binary bit" = 1048576 bits

Yup, Game Maker did some things wrong. I've heard on msn to a few horror stories on GM's incompetence. We learn Scheme with DrScheme too! Despite being simple, I actually like it as an IDE(for fast programming, not intensive project programming). MiB is a way to solve the old MB 1000KB vs 1024KB debate. Although xkcd has a better explanation: http://xkcd.com/394

Charlie: Just because you use the word binary doesn't mean your informed about the standard. Please view The Official Kilobyte Standard for details. Luis: You beat me to it, you bugger.

Templates work. I'm currently working on macro functions. #include "" is implemented also. #include <> is not, however, as I need the compiler directory, which I will likely end up having user configured via LGM.
By "currently," I actually meant "not now," as I am at school. Notice the public-friendly account with a different password should something stupid happen.

I don't understand; is that a mineral? It it shiny like pyrite? Large in crystal structure like fluorite? Clearish like calcite?
