I've been working on loads of programs recently. Early this week, I created a revolutionary all basic text editor. No. It didn't use the lame input command. It used the graphscreen and small font! I quite properly named it the AFK text editor (away from keyboard). Next, I designed a state of the art 16*16 sprite maker, that gave a hex string of the sprite. It was optimized for designing DCS6 icons. I was positive it should be packaged with DCS7. Next, I started an amazing sidescroller with stunning graphics using xLib. Last, but not least, I started to make another program - I don't remember what it was - that used the DCS gui. To top off the week, I made a mistake with the syntax and - you guessed it - reset the ram.
I immediately began a much nicer sprite editor using the DCS gui. This particular sprite editor could make either 8*8 or 16*16 sprites. When you ran the program, it asked you which size to make. It was a dream to use, with awesome graphics. I also started to make a calculator (I know, right?!) that looked like the windows calculator and used the DCS gui. I finally started to make a third sprite editor that didn't use the DCS gui, and it had amazing graphics. To celebrate, I made another stupid mistake (I tried to make a xLib rectangle of the visible screen), and reset the ram.
So once again, I started making a fourth sprite editor. I currently have the title screen almost done, and it is incredible. I hope to finish it soon.
Here is what I learned this week: Always backup your programs, either to archive or the computer!!!
