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.

    @BigOnYa, and i dont think the rectangular movement behavior works for platform games
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea it does. And you can add platform character behavior to your own charcter, and it will have move and jump already setup for you, space bar is jump, arrows move

    @BigOnYa, i already added the platform character behaviour to the player since i started doing this
