A very short example:
class main():
def Main():
while True:
print "Hello"
class somethingElse():

Thank you!
I will take that into account and rewrite the game so that it can have more than three rows. You could for example have four or five rows. |

And they are C++-only, how hard is it to transfer your knowledge from a C++ video to C#?
Thank you. ~Paige

Why, oh why won't my sprite rotate?
|
Well, I'm working mainly in PHP at the moment, so case-sensitivity isn't any problem. It's just that I have my own way of writing code, and function names allways start with an uppercase letter, whilst variables never do. |
