dodgy socks :)
I would not have pegged you as a dedicated follower of fashion, however I must confess I noticed too.
We should be nice to Pippi though.

As for the thread in question then I did not learn since last time and continued to buy books, or in this case a book from a very odd car boot sale I went to during the week. I also reshuffled my book stack so now my room smells of old books and old tools.

The lathe section is actually better than a lot proper engineering books I have

Its section on old soldering methods was worth the price of admission alone. I see the irons of such an era in boxes of old tools from time to time but have thus far not been tempted and reading that I probably never will be.

£1 for that. Did also get a nice plane hone so I do not have to continue using my chisel hone which is great for chisels but not go great for planes. Oh and I found a nice electric motor on the street but I still have to test that.

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
