Blitzmax Rocks!!

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Blitzmax Rocks!!

I just want to say that Blitzmaxx ROCKS! It's fast smooth and excellent, it runs perfect in linux as well... I'm happy :)

Yes, Blitz Max is very good.

Can't wait for the 3D module myself. I think I'll be back in Blitz heaven once that ships. Oh yeah and also after Mark gets things up and running on Xbox 360 ... if that ever happens.

Indeed.

Quite.

Smashing time.

Good show.

Max 3D will be compadible with the 360!? SWEET!

There is no indication that that will be the case... BRL has never claimed it would be, and it's pretty much just (unfounded) wishful thinking by some of the people on the forums... So don't hold your breath. :-?

I think I started a thread with this title a month or so ago. It is pretty good :-)

I still some of you are still living in the future and never the present. :)

THANK GOD FOR THOSE OF US WITH A BRAIN, AND THE COMMON SENSE TO USE IT to discern the difference between fact, fiction, fantasy, and farse...

:)

--Mike

It's a nice change from the bi-weekly "Come on man, I need Max3D, man. I'll do anything, man, I'll suck your erm, thumb". threads.

still some of you are still living in the future and never the present. :)


now didn't we go over this before ENAY... didn't i explain to you already that THERE IS NO PRESENT...

there is only the past... even the future is the past, as it has already happened, and we are just racing to catch up to it...

now get back to the future and wait in line for the 3D module like everyone else is anxiously doing...

:)

--Mike

Yes BM rocks but it's still a bit immature...

BlitzMax is more of a pebble at the moment - it's not there yet!

Red: Actually I think you've got the inverse of reality. There is only the present, all the rest is false, yet that's where most people live. Now is the moment that must be lived in to the fulmost. No point dwelling on the past or worrying about the future when "now" is here for the taking and to be enjoyed by all :-)

As for Max, yeah a few more fixes and enhancements and it will be really good.

The future is not set, there's no fate than what we make for ourown.

hahaha... aahhhhh... ok you guys... not to rape this thread and hijack it, i promise this'll be short...

point to now...

you can't...

you can only reference what has already happened, and what is about to happen... there is no now that you can point to... the very process of pointing moves you past the point you think is now...

therefore, i contend that there is no now...

to understand the continuum you refer to as time is to let go of perceived notions of existance that are based mainly upon senses that rely on a 3 dimensional explanation of something that itself is dependent upon a 4th, 5th 6th, and possibly all the way to an 11th dimension... all of which we have no sensory organs to perceive...

... except popssibly one, our mind.

the 90 percent of your brain that is unused... this is the chaff from which evolution will adapt the species, is already adapting the species, to move to the next order of humankinds movement towards the complete... it is here where you will gain your new sensory organ for this sight...

but you will have to try for it... like the first proto birds... if they didn't try to fly, nature wouldn't have evolved wings for them... you've gotta try to 'see'...

now, it's not gonna be easy to try and 'see' what you've been taught all your life is not real... what your very senses tell you is not there... it'll be like a blind man trying to see... yet you would be surprised how many blind people can tell you exactly how far you are away from them...

you must open your mind to the possibility that there is more to 'see' than what my eyes can see... make yourself available to sensing the 'movement', the 'currents' of time...


if you can do this... you will start to understand that now is merely a reference point for the 3 dimensionally challenged... a reference point soley for you own comfort and perception... it has no real meaning in reality... it does not exist...


@ duck... 1- prove it... 2- we are talking about time here, not fate... not fortune... not destiny...

--Mike

> @ duck... 1- prove it...

Heya Mike!

1 - Does 3D for you stand for 3 dots?
2 - Do you have 3 brains?

:)

ya see... the blindest of us all jumps right up, as if summoned by some unseen power...

he rises, in full, eyes wide shut regalia...

to demonstrate his blindness to us all...


let us all sit back for a sec and watch him, as he blinds us all with more of his blindness...


--Mike

Speaking of blindness. How many full stops did I just type?

Is it one or three?

ya see... he continues... i knew he would...

boy he's good at demonstrating how blind he is...

more ENAY... more...

:)

--Mike

I guess I have the senility of old age to look forward too.
You have my utmost sympathy.

your utmost sympathies should be best reserved for your children... for it is they who will have the task of struggling to overcome the genetic handicaps you have passed on to them...

but, you are quite correct though... your future, is sure to be one of senile confusion... sort of similar to your current condition, now...

which, by the way, is part of your grand delusions... for, like i said, now doesn't exist... you'll still be the same mad hatter your are now... just a bit older...



for now to exist, the continuum (time) would have to stop for a brief instant... this in itself is the definition of non existance... to stop time would be to go out of existance... a state which was prevalent before what you call the big bang occurred, and set into motion, the continuum that all the dimensions we can see, and most of us cannot see (or sense)...

disclaimer... there are no drug inducing additives in my coffee this morning... :)

ok... with all apologies to Sub_Zero... enough of this time thing... lets get back on the BlitzMax Rocks bandwagon...


--Mike

Red: You did a classic failed logic "you can't point to now therefore it doesn't exist" lol. Ok, point to your soul/spirit ... Oh couldn't you do it? Well obviously you don't have one ;-) I have no need to point to "now" cos I'm already there thanks.

drug inducing additives
big lol. What's the hell is "drug inducing"? haha, maybe trance music. Or maybe the world cup as it will incude many men to imbibe beer/larger.

yeah, and sorry Sub_Zero. I really think max is great fun too. The OOP makes it sheer joy until you get your head stuck in a few complex matters, but then finding the answer is joy too.

i never said anything about a soul existing... that's your delusion... so you do the honors... you point to it for me... you show me a soul... then, i may believe in it...

the classic failed logic test, as you call it, still stands solid... if you can't point to it... then it exists only in the imagination...

--Mike

ok, point to your emotions... or point to the lifeforce that keeps you alive. btw, I edited my post to add more, check it out :-)

again, you fail to see through the obscurity and fog of not quite knowing what you are referring to...

anyone hooked up to a lie detector, anyone talking a brain scan, anyone who is exhibiting emotional response, such as crying or laughing... well, these are is proof positive of an emotional response, or of something that is causing what you term emotions... i point to these in response to your challenge...

there, that was easy...


now about this lifeforce thing... are you sure there is one... point to it...

and while you're at it, point to now too... ooops, too late, now is already a nano second into the past...

:)



ya see GA... what you fail to realize, is the difference between your perceptions of reality, and reality itself...

now sometimes that is a bit disconcerting, especially to those who have a hard time accepting anything that takes them the least bit outside of their comfort zones...

take for example... colors... blue, red, green... these only exist as a perceptions of man... to an animal without color cones (rods, whatever) in their eyes, these colors have no meaning whatsoever... they do not exist for them...

to the universe, blue is meaningless... we use these merely as convenient references to a spectral wavelength... blue exists only in the imagination of man... not in reality... and it exists only because we perceive it via the senses we are born with... if we didn't use eyes, then rgb wouldn't exist as apparently as it does to us... if you don't belive me, try to describe the color blue... try to 'picture it' to a preson who has been blind since birth... yet you can see it in your minds eye, even if you close your eyes and see it... you're trained to associate blue with certain images in your head... but this doesn't make it real...

my logic still stands... now only exists in the imagination of man... it is not real...

--Mike

Point to any object to understand that it exists in now. IF it didn't exist in now it wouldn't exist in this reality.

I'm sitting here now. I am now here in this chair. IF I wasn't here now I wouldn't be in this chair typing.

I'm a schizophrenic, and so am I.

the classic failed logic test, as you call it, still stands solid... if you can't point to it... then it exists only in the imagination...
What about 'dark matter'? It's known to exist but can't be detected directly and so can't be 'pointed at'. :P

when is now... the very act of saying it takes time... and in that time you have moved... moved through a continuum you can barely perceive...

the now that you think is now, is only a product of your own perception... in reality, you are in constant motion within a continuum that itself is in motion... it is the very definition of motion, and existance...

for there to be a now, this continuum would have to stop... thus affecting all other dependent continuums... dimensions, if you will...

existance would cease...

--Mike

Editing your post 3 times (just like your 3 full stops) to make your comments longer and seem more aggressive doesn't make me any more inclined to join in with your inane banter.

It's just rambling old man syndrome. :)

unlike you ENAY, i'm also doing 2 other things right now... on two other machines...

multitasking dear boy... so i need to edit, i can't type on 3 keyboards that quickly...

It's just rambling old man syndrome. :)
doesn't make me any more inclined to join in with your inane banter.

hhhmmmm, funny, you keep coming back to comment... interesting, don't ya think ;)

--Mike

when is now


Now is now. That's why the word was created. In five minutes I will ocupy the space by my Kettle when I go to make a tea. It doesn't exist yet but it will do. The reason I can't see myself by the kettle is because the time hasn't come yet for me to be there. When the time comes for me to make a cuppa I will occupy the space, existing in the moment.

IF there wasn't a now, then things would not exist. If there wasn't a now there couldn't be a later.

Where are my pills?

Now is now. That's why the word was created

ahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!

using a word to define itself... hardly substantiating much to your point of view Amon...

If there wasn't a now there couldn't be a later.

nonesense... there is always a later... the future is where you are heading... the past is where you have been... now is where you imagine yourself to be...

because the human synapse operates at a rate that is slower than time itself, the perception of now has always been a convenient reference point...

your inability to perceive of the true nature of your existance is where your problem lies... your firm dependence on terms and concepts like past, now, later, future are quite natural... and firmly rooted in your 3 dimensional perceptions of your reality...

for you it works...

try taking that aboard a ship that could accelarate faster than the speed of light... your perceptions of time and relative instances would be put to task very quickly...

--Mike

why does every thread have to degenerate into a midden of festering crap? :/

good question GFK... but a better question would be...

why, if you consider it a midden of festering crap, do you always insist on joing in... why do you feel the need to stop and tell us that we are engaging in this midden of crap, instead of just clicking your mouse and moving on to something that interests you...

--Mike

Never mind that crap, what about DARK MATTER, dammit? :P

Because, shock and indeed, horror, looking at the thread title I thought it might have been an interesting thread.

Silly me.

yes... silly you, indeed...

BlitzMax Rocks! definitely an invite to an interesting, informative, mind enhancing topic...

nah... you knew what you were getting into... you seem to gravitate towards these sort of useless threads...

just be quiet and enjoy the banter... or excercise your option to move along quietly and politiely...

--Mike

OK, no response, then. That must mean I win! :P

OK, no response, then. That must mean I win! :P


i agree... by the fact that you can't point to a response, therefore it doesn't exist... you win :)

--Mike

i agree... by the fact that you can't point to a response, therefore it doesn't exist... you win :)
It does exist... it's just made of dark matter!!!

/me parades the Red Pwnage cup around the streets :P

i submit defeat...

i defer any further arguements to your Pwnage...

you are indeed the master...


Amon, Gfk, ENAY... look and learn from a true master...
he has shown you how to win!!

--Mike

/me parades the Red Pwnage cup around the streets :P
LOL

Red: If you point at brain scan of someone having an emotion, you are not pointing at the emotion merely a result of that emotion on some man-made equipment. That's not the same thing. Anyway, this whole you have to be able to point at something otherwise it doesn't exist is very short sighted. Point at me ... oh you can cos I'm too far away, therefore I don't exists ... who typed this then ... pop!

I'm not allowed to post in this thread anymore because the leprechaun sitting on my monitor has a grin on his face and is holding matches.

yes... exactly my point... even though i can't point to you, i can conclude that you do in fact exist, merely by pointing to factual indications of your existance...

like what astronomers do to prove the existance of a planet around a distant star... they point to the star's wobble...

but it is something to point at... i would entertain the possibility of now if you could point at any indication that now exists... that it is actually a real thing... an increment in a continuum of time...


--Mike

you can't point at everything. point at love. point at your destiny. point at your skill.

everything you mentioned is a perception not based on reality... except skill, which can be indicated by pointing at the result of your work...

--Mike

point at inspiration.

point at your left index finger with your left index finger (no mirrors allowed as you would be pointing at a reflection, no photographs as you would be pointing at a representation of your finger). So we've discovered something, the finger which proves to you that things exist, DOESN'T EXIST! wow.

inspiration... another perception...

point at your left index finger with your left index finger
now you're reaching GA... why would i restrict the tools at which i can point to something with... and when i say point, i don't necessarily mean, physically point...

--Mike

Sorry for the wishful thinking above! Even if it's just Mac and PC I'll be happy!

Red: point with what? Your mind? Now point at your mind.

Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. Fear of death affects every aspect of your life. For example ***even such a seemingly trivial and "normal" thing as the compulsive need to be right in an argument and make the other person wrong *** - defending the mental position with which you have identified - is due to the fear of death. If you identify with a mental position, then if you are wrong, your mind-based sense of self is seriously threatened with annihilation. So you as the ego cannot afford to be wrong. To be wrong is to die. Wars have been fought over this, and countless relationshipds have broken down. :-)

hey GA... maybe thou speaketh about thyself... maybe that finger should be pointing towards you...

i'm just having a good time with ya... you seem to be the one taking this a bit too seriously...

lighten up...

how in hell can ya be so friggin dickwadded as to take something like as a discussion on time so seriously, GA...


i thought your were one of the more normal ones here... you're startin to sound like another friggin Anthony...

fear... hell, i'm busy working... what fear... the only thing i fear is that my bath water won't be warm enough this evening...

ya know, if ya really need to prevail here GA, if your life is that empty that you need to show your omnipotence here, then please, allow me to announce you the winner... the king of the thread...

10P... you're gonna have to give up the Red Pwnage trophy to GA, sorry... he's gonna start throwin a hissy fit if we don't let him be the king of the thread...

ya happy now... if not, well, you can go take that finger you're pointing, and shove it somewhere where the sun don't shine...

damn... what a friggin loon... you turn a lighthearted discussion into some crazy off the wall expression of inadaquecy...

To be wrong is to die. Wars have been fought over this, and countless relationshipds have broken down.

to be wrong is to be wrong... that's all... period... if you see something else there, then you're the one with issues young man... get over em... you'll be a much better person, both to yourself, and those around you...


--Mike

hahaha lol, you think that post was serious, rotfl!! pwned! oops there's goes my ego again...

you sounded like you were serious enough...

you still sound like you are...
oops there goes my ego
... why would you think this has anything to do with ego...

it's about time travel... star trek... stuff like that... you're the only one trying to inject something about ego... so, to make you happy, you win... alright...

be happy... shuttt uppp...

--Mike

yawn.

http://161.58.5.90/alice/howsilly.wav you are becoming...

--Mike

you've got some fun wavs, I heard a good laughing one the other day.

yawn...

http://161.58.5.90/alice/veryintr.wav NOT!

I think it's time for old Red to take his nap, and he knows he's chasing the grim reaper faster than any of us, so he might not be among the living when the staff at the asylum comes to unlock the door and wake him up tomorrow.

Personally, I would miss the old geezer, after all, he is a good laugh. Not a good sport or a gentleman for that matter, but a good laugh nonetheless.


Andy

hijacking a thread about how much blitz rocks?????

unacceptable!!

Red, post something about how great you think blitz is to redress the balance...

i will... i will... i promise...

--Mike

WOW!! I didn't think this thread would grow this big!! Nice!

NO.. I forgive you all for posting things like this! It IS BlitzMAX related! Because EVERYTHING is related.

BLitzmaxx rocks!!

@wedoe: Immature?? Muha, we can do something about it. It's in our power, we can write modules, what a beautiful language! It's a clear favourite, just as excellent as php or c/c++, cross-platform Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Btw: I Know you from somewhere; you are an old C64 dude; probably from Shape or Creators or (what was that group called, the one with the brainstorm series).

When it comes to existence theories, then I LOVE the theory that our and all existence we know of, is actually computer-related :) Think about it! You turn on a computer, it starts up, it's all black in 3d space, you run the INIT function, and BOOOOM (hmmm, think I heard something similar somewhere?? (hehehe)), the arrays and types created gets calculated from speed, matter, energy, waves (the list continues (listaddlast?)) (A nice algorith, that's for sure :D ). Anyway, time (as we know it) is ENERGY. We have positive energy and negative energy (Signed floats???)... Humans are biological machines (yes), with a damn fast processor (no wonder we get HOT), but it's buggy and unstable, and not logical at all :) Maybe life = not logic(?) but emotions based on "logic". Atoms are energy, matter, positive and negative. But what is neutrinos?? They appear/disappear at unknown rates (neutrinos travel from A to B instantly (sqrew the light speed, this is faster)) (Maybe this is the Refresh rate ? (hehehehe))...
Let's just hope the server doesn't crash or someone/something presses the "OFF" button :D

@Grey Alien & Red October and the other philosophs: ANYHTING is possible. Muhaha? YES, it is. I have experienced that anything a human being can imagine, IS possible. It is actually logic, because we CAN'T imagine something that's NOT possible, a human limit :)
Pigs flying in the sky? -Possible. Your neighbour blowing himself up? -POSSIBLE. Black hole sucks us in? -POSSIBLE Travel to other galaxies? -POSSIBLE
I laugh at people that today say that (for instance) travel to other solar systems or galaxies are impossible for humans (ROTFLMAO, what do you think people said in the last century about going to the moon? People got killed for saying it was possible (mostly by christians though, the bastards ;) ))
Dark matter?? Yes we can point at it, we know where it is damnit! Just like the tea pot, we haven't done it yet, we will do it, eventually.
One thing is for sure, we know nothing, but we are exploring it.

@xlsior: Wrong.. There are indications that this IS POSSIBLE. I can't be bothered by looking for the link, but I remember someone running _Windows media center executables on an Xbox 360 (Before it was hacked), they would run for 20 seconds or so, and then crash. That is not far away from running, so.. It's just a matter of time :P (Energy)

Anyway: BLITZMAXX ROCXCX!!

Kill me someone, I'm drunk :)

Red ocktober you really rock and i agree with everything you said, dont take any notice of these loonys they would not know time if it hit them on the head mahaha

PS you made me laugh on a sunday

Whether or not BlitzMax rocks is relative. BlitzMax rocks now. It might or might not rock more in the future, but of course by thinking about the future of BM rocking you are placing it in the context of now.

:) coool... all's well that ends well...

--Mike

[bored]


Now is the moment that must be lived in to the fulmost. No point dwelling on the past or worrying about the future when "now" is here for the taking and to be enjoyed by all :-)



/me crosses legs, closes eyes, holds arms out and starts to humm.


Never mind that crap, what about DARK MATTER, dammit? :P



Crap IS dark matter :) It's brown! (in most cases at least. whew....)
[/bored]

"Blitzmax Rocks!!" as much as a band can without a guitar player (max3d)...oh and sometimes the soundcheck could be better... :O)
