Let's see, you've posted 5 messages complaining about how people should
program, saying really silly things about "commercialism" and boasting
that you can program all these great warez, but "don't have the time." So
far, you've posted, NOT A SINGLE LINE OF CODE, and have not as yet, said
anything sounding like you even remotely know what you are talking about.
You've really sounded like a r0dent. If you aren't, I'm sorry. Your
messages sounded like every wannabee I've ever talked to. They have all
these great ideas about how everyone should program, but you never see
them actually DO any of it.

I try very hard not to be either. It's YOUR attitude toward us and me
that I find offensive. I have worked my butt off to change the way people
look at Euphoria, and produce something that is way beyond anything so far
done with the language. I've spent weeks writing Crash Course lessons to
raise the standard of programming and give people who want to learn game
programming a systematic way of approaching it. You come on and start
complaining and name dropping (I can program super nintendo games, but I
just don't have the time) and telling me I don't know what I'm doing, and
you say I have an ego problem?
I think you did a very good job writing your game, and yes
