Got it at six too, though to be honest up until that point I don't think

Hi Jim.
I agree with you about coding the way you feel most comfortable with

Hi Dark,
Technically speaking the text files in Jim Kitchens games are what

Sure. Although, keep in mind we are also looking at this from a purely

That's correct. Comments, extra spaces, and basically everything that

the compiler when compiling the code into a binary file. Even

for the runtime e
Hi Jim,
That's because the executable doesn't need everything included in your

source code human readable like double spacing between functions,
commenting a line so what we know this line of text does, indenting
programs so we can
