=-== Too Emotional
Why is everybody('im talking about Micheal Packard) here so
emotional, why should you care so much about what someone else thinks
about you, you're here for you, for more info about a shared
interest. You shouldn't be here for social reasons. Offcourse, you'll
get to know some people and some kind of social relation will be
developed (What a word, like you were programming it), but that's
not the reason to join (or quit). And getting critism, means people
are taking you serious. And at least you'll know where you stands,
what if everybody lied ? Would you really want people to pretend
they like you or get made inside their head without talking about
it?? Please take critism with a bit more objective point of view and
see that if they really don't like you and don't want you (why should
you even care?) they would have ignored the message, but instead they
confronted you with it, with the only logical reason that they didn't
want to not like you, so they post about it, to sorted it out, so
everything can then be ok with them and with you. They might not know
this and think they don't like you, but do you really care about
things you don't like, think not! So take it as a sign of respect.
And the posters might consider to respond to him with private mail,
keeping it private.

=-== New Mazer Engine is ready!
My new MaZeR engine is now bug free, only some options need to be
added. This one is a lot quicker, it uses only 3 routines. (You only
have to call one). And one of the new options is that you can give
him a 2D sequence, where the maze will drawn in, with all positive
values (already in the 2D sequence) being handled like lines and
all negative values (zero too) like spaces. So you can include you
own level pieces where the maze is drawn around. But before i release
it you should play with the current MaZeR available at the Official
Euphoria Site. I do not release it yet, because i want to create a
better demonstration program for the routine. A demonstration program
which allows you to change the values manually without the use of a
predefined 'flavor' (= maze style/type) and allowing you to save
these options to a shared file containing all the flavors. (Which you
can then add to.)
Please, i'll like to know if there are people that care about such a
engine? If not i'll stop posting about, might even stop coding it.
Also the maker of SNAKERS might consider the use of this program. It
could also generate the type levels that are nice for SNAKERS easily,
which offers much more dynamic gameplay, simple because the levels
are different each time. Maybe something for SNAKERS 2, big scrolling
dynamic levels. (bigger than the screen, so you'll have to search for
next number!) It's a pretty good idea isn't it?? Well, please code...
..if you agree.
I'm also planning a game using my MaZeR engine, some sort of action
game which you can see from above and you have should some irritation
people. (Better kill them in my game, then getting so emotional!!)
I'll will use Micheal Packard's crash course to create a game that
looks as professional as his games do. (i really need to do projects
clean and simple, instead of just jumping in the deep (dutch
expression=doing the hardest thing before any preparation), i had
tried to code the mazer code 3 times, before i knew how to code it!)
I am now using a spell checker, so the number of spelling error
should be getting lower (i hope), however i think my English is
pretty good for a 15 year old Dutch kid.
I know this one was very
long, but again i had much to say and my mail sever is very
slow.... ...so i better announce a few things before the appear..

Nice little message. Didn't have time to read it all, but it's the same
thing everybody else is saying. We all have to be a little more discrete. Or
else this mailing list will turn into one of those anti-subject servers.
Don't ask.

Snakers 2? Oh, man! Never thought about that one. You have some cool ideas
(since they'd drive EVERYBODY nuts!), but I can't do it. Unfortunatly, I
think I am going to be gone from the internet at the end of the month, and I
probably won't be coming back. Sigh!

Jamie,
When I first read this, I was truly shocked! But, of course, I thought a
little while later, this is one of his famous jokes again!
You're not really quitting, I'm sure EVERYBODY wants you to stay, includi=

Mr. Packard!

No, Rienks, I was NOT joking (this time, anyways). I was seriously thinking
giving up the internet due to lack of funds. However, like it was just on
cue, I got a one-night job of doing the coat-check during a local video
dance, which will let me go on for a little while at least, hopefully until
a get a REAL job, which would end all my worries and would let me do
something I wish I could have done a long time ago (sorry, Robert).
And no, guys, it wasn't because I lost my student account. I don't have a
student account because I don't go too university yet.
