I'vve learnt a few things over the time that I've been programming. Most =
of you may already know these things but for those who don't:

1. Organize your programs, I've had countless mess-ups due to a sloppy =
layout.

2. Use the Clone option, Sometimes I find it best to try out something =
small and then put in my main program.=20

3. Make CLEAR variable names, they don't necessarily have to be long; =
they just have to make sense:

Lets say you had this:

sequence f1,f2       --Lets say these are for a "Fighter" attacking.

f1=3Dread_bitmap("fswing1.BMP")
f2=3Dread_bitmap("fswing2.BMP")

But it would be better to have:

sequence fat1,fat2

(fat1=3D fighter attack {frame} 1)

I hope these help you out.
