The fittest name wins? Genetic algorithms often suck because people don't know how to describe something as fit.

Community schmunity! Dictator wins all.

Maybe Thomas can tell us about the huge variety of voting procedures.

I'm going to assume you mean Mr. Harte.

Rock Paper Scissors should be changed to:

Water Rock Dynamite

  Water puts out Dynamite
  Rock dams up the Water
  Dynamite blows up Rock

No, it should be changed to:

Windows OSX Linux

I haven't used OSX before. Windows has a much larger application base.

Yes, however atm I should probably get some work done. Once I'm done at work I'll redo exsprite.c

Good! just let me know :)

Thank you very much, but IMHO if you can't code a version of exsprite in a few minutes using your own library then I doubt about the usability of it.
Perhaps it needs to mature a little more so that it can be used by dummies people like me.:)

The libraries quite easy to use. Its reading the code for exsprite.c that is a pain.

I released the library cause it was useful and IMO pretty easy to use. I didn't release it so I could spend time writing up complex examples for it.

The most obvious answer would be:

Allegro 'L','O','L'

Though had that been written, there'd have been an additional '!' at the end.

There's too many translations for it be of use :-X

Also,
l != binary 1
o != binary 0

That's true! Decimal 101 is actually binary 1100101!
