Hmmm, thanks for all that action while I was gone guys! But this does make me realize that people don't like the programming style I adopted for this one... It was a lot harder to make than a GUI, yet is far less appreciated... I'm sorry... I failed.

i have a question, not a spyro graph
how did you get it to disable certain keys from use, and highlighting certain text?

If you download the GED file (on first page) and look at the codes, you'll notice that all the text isn't actually in text actors, but everything is printed onto a canvas! It's the most complicated thing I've ever done, and its also really hard to explain. Basically I have a function that seeks validity of a function name. When a function's name is recognized, stats are loaded for the following input to come. The color of all the letters are stored in an array which is used when printing strings onto the canvas. You\re gonna have to study the code pretty hard to understand more of that though... sorry. The code has very limited explainations since I hadn't planned on releasing it, but did in the end. Since this release failed so hard, I think I'll be a little while without posting demos... Unless I feel people would actually be interested, I'll keep stuff for myself from now on.

Thank you for the comment! Feel free to use the program however you want to! As for Gelman, he's been paused for an undertermined period, right now I'm working on another plateformer, for which I should release the first level fairly soon. Its much simpler than Gelman, but it'll be pretty cool too, you'll see...(lol) Just gotta work those black n' white pixels a little further, hahaha! +1 point for you, last one will come later when the system allows it. ttyl.
