Title: Sounds to Order
Post by: GWS on October 28, 2008, 08:55:32 AM
A few years ago, Roger posted a great little program in IBPro for generating all sorts of weird sounds.

I hope he doesn't mind me re-visiting it with a few extensions and changes for Creative use ..  :)

You can always tell a program written by Roger .. HeUsesVeryLongVariableNames ..  ;D ;D

all the best, :)

 :) .. well almost right .. I meant VariableNames actually ..  ;D

I'm a naughty person - I like:   x = y + 5

I use i, j, k and a$, b$, c$ .. a lot as well ..  :)

Of course you really need a decent user guide then to describe the algorithm and variables, so it all makes sense to other folk ..

best wishes, :)

As I can't remember what I wrote yesterday, I find loooooong variable names to be very helpful.   :D

I think you're right as a general rule Mike - I'm just lazy I guess ..

I guess my sight was blinded by some sort of "known facts".
At my first reading, I understood "HeUsesVeryLongVariableNames"
If i was asked, i could swear that what i read wasn't "HeUsesVeryLongFileNames".
I assume that is why we are often told not to rely too much on what our eyes see.

And that blindness, my friend, is not only the source of many bugs, but one of the greatest deterrents to finding them.
