:?

a colon : ? I don't get it. How is it used?

no use for it really, just to keep your code more readable/orginized


Example

crappy:

If hello=1 then color 123,132,123 drawimage image,x,y hello=2

this is more readable:

If hello=1 then :  color 123,132,123 : drawimage image,x,y : hello=2

It isn't more readable than this:

If hello=1
  color 123,132,123
  drawimage image,x,y
  hello=2
EndIf

A colon is simply used to allow multiple commands to be placed on a single line. They do not execute any differently - ie they still execute one after the other.

I cannot tell you whether it is good or bad practice to use them.

Ok, thanks!
