I'm starting (hope to finish this one) a new project in C to Port over RFK from ASM to prizms' C, it seems alot easier than trying to work on my enduro port, as the graphics are all ASCII, so I might even be able to do this in BASIC, though I feel C will be much faster, wish me luck, and I hope I can at least get a decent start on this one.

Do you mean you need the sayings? I have those, if that's what you mean...
I have all the sayings...besides I'm making up a few new ones as I go along, no I meant I have 0 experience in Prizm C and very little in regular C xD...so It'll take some time
Ok I'm writing psuedo code for the game today, I figured I'll ask you all..do you want all the old phrases or some new ones added in? I've already got 3 referencing prizm, Kerm's book, and some 84+ , Figured I'd make it an open topic since the text is randomly brought up!

More the merrier, as long as it has at least the vast majority of the originals (that is, as long as it has "This toaster strudel is riddled with bullet holes!")
Ok Caleb I've been combining phrases and taking various phrase versions and amalgamated them, tell me what you think?

Lol @ these phrases:
Code:
An amphorous is a large two-handled storage jar. And did Cemetech filter out a "naughty" word in Mobius D**k?
Edit: How about these "naughty" names, Cemetech? Andy D**k, D**k Cheney, D**k Van Dyke...

Just a note on the phrases: your preprocessor definition for the number of phrases works, but is prone to error, because it's easy to update the phrases array and forget to update the number of them.
This will let the compiler worry about it:

So it's coming along correctly I am assuming?
I'll keep posting these as I get more and more done, just let me know if anything seems off
BUMP*
I'm resuming coding this over my Christmas break! as that fighting game still won't work no matter what, and I feel C is more important anyways

I think you should add the phrase, "A shameless plug for DCS7: dcs.cemetech.net".
[EDIT] And the phrase, "A plastic thingy from a milk jug."
