Re: A85: Sqrxz 0.7b
What damn programs have you ever written? I hate people like this. He
wants his program for Usgard, it's his perogative. Usgard is a superior
system, with superior features. If you don't want to use Usgard, then you
don't want to play Sqrxz enough. Deal with it, move on, and program your
own damn game. It's not easy, and we're not getting paid. Every
non-programmer is alike. They expect things - expect authors to give up
the rights over their games just because they don't want to be troubled to
switch OSes. People complained that HAL was delayed because they wanted a
release party, saying they egotists because they want that one thing.
They're not getting anything else out of it, and neither is Jimmy.
