Hi Jim.
I agree with you about coding the way you feel most comfortable with
first and worrying about style afterward. I've personally found that
adding some descriptive names make it easier to find bugs, but I am bad
at describing something in a word or two.
I do not want to imagine my game collection without your games. Very
unpleasant!

Hi Thomas,
Yep, well, there is no Jim Kitchen the third, so I don't plan on some
one taking over the Kitchensinc games. I know that partially because
of starting out only being able to use two letters for variable names
and because space was limited, I have always been conscious of size of
code and later sound files. I know that it really is no longer a
problem, but I do hate to waste space. Plus typing less is a good
thing for me. I would probably not like to be some one else trying to
read my code though. And heck as I have mentioned, many of my VB6
games were converted from dos games and thus actually still have line
numbers from BasicA and GW Basic instead of line labels like Quick
Basic, VB6 etc can use.
Every once in a while I will add a comment line in my code, but
usually it is just a temporary place marker and I go through and
delete them when I am finished with that bit of code.
dim pd$(5, 15) is the global variable for the players and their 14
parts of description for the game that I am working on now. I'm sure
that it would make sense to others if the variable name was more like
dim PlayerDescription(5, 15) but I like less typing and as long as I
know the code that is all that matters. Well that and that it
compiles, runs, and does what I want it to do.
BFN
Jim
