1. are ANY of my mails getting through?

I've been replying, but I haven't seen all of my mails come back in my
mailbox.  This is REALLY annoying.

here's another attempt at a reply

Ok, I'll kill both questions with one rock:

the parentheses around the aloop are redundant.  in an earlier version of
that code I was doing something more exotic that didn't work the way I
anticipated, so I removed that stuff, but neglected to remove the
parentheses just in case I wanted to add more stuff later.

As for example code, I've got a ton of it on my Euphoria Page

Also, the first few lessons from A Crash Course in Game Design - Euphoria
Edition are online as well.  I'm writing an asteroids game from scratch
this weekend.  I'll have some stuff your you people to playtest for me on
monday.  As of right now, I have the sprite engine working with clipping,
wrap around and image scaling on the fly.  It looks like I can have at
least 20 animating oids onscreen + ship and enemy ships drawing against
the background updating about 15 frames per second on my dx2.  I've had 8
oids wandering aimlessly.  Looks cool.

I'm writing the oid engine now to keep track of them, each can move in
different directions, different sizes and animations.

I'm hoping to be able to drive around with the oids by bedtime.

I will probably do a special edition of Crash Course covering all the
programming things.  I'm learning a lot. =)

Yes Micheal, I receive all your mail, but I'm not as energetic as you
seem to be.
For the moment, I try to concentrate on my PlayWave() work and still
hope to be done with it by midnigth sunday (eastern standard time)

  Since a few month I build a few include files that I'm ready to
release to public domain (I already released filelist.e) I`ll do it as
soon as get time to take care of it.
