I think more details are really good, because it really also would be cool to get to know how the engine or game mechanics are build:)

HAHA I've been struggling with png's for so long. Every time I wanted to use a sprite I found on the web I would convert them to bmp and change the background from white to magenta. Actually it even got to the point that I created a program to swap chromas for me. At least I learned to implement drag and drop on my programs so I guess it wasn't complete waste of time. Not being able to do alpha blending has proven to be quite limiting though. When I searched on how to read png files they would use some super old library and some good 50 lines of setup. Also that method of widening and narrowing strings is so much simpler that anything I could find on the web. Thank you chilli.

Bro, this music blows my brain though I can't concentrate. Am I only one like that? Hopefully you'll come back to old-school style with a lot of memes and important to concentrate moments =)
