The sleep section:

How you make a gam sleep for a day or 2 like a real game (the pause screen doesn't wear off) would you make it 86.4e^7millisecounds.

Looks good Hartnel. But i would like to warn you here. Dont do too deep FB tutorials. It evolves all the time and tutorials made today might became partly useless tomorrow.

@macjsys09. If you really want to make game to sleep for a day or two, you should work with DATE function with combination of STR$.

Yes, it is great!

I started with C++ (Big mistake, but paid off) at the age of 9.

Now Program in many languages, and consider myself a RIA Developer/Web Developer.

I have recently found that many famous developers started with BASIC, it took me

three hours to find the compiler! Now I use freeBASIC and the not-so-famous 'edit' command

on windows. Hear, hear. I am ashamed to be running windows.. I'm off topic -sighs-

Anyways, I was going through and updating some of the pages with working code,

and now I made a simple game to go with the Random Integer tutorial..

Should it go under 'Source Code' or with the 'Random Integer' tutorial?

How do I post a NEW page in the source code?

Thanks, and this site I think needs some new traffic,

Very ill advertised, a year ago I was looking for a beginner game programming website,

and found this to be exactly what I was looking for. Maybe I would have made a full featured game

by now, but alas, I reverted to Web Developer/RIA Developer.. Although I am still open to learning.
