Sparrowhawk's Profile
A profile... why not.
Some things I enjoy doing: reading, mountain biking, hiking in the mountains, anything with computers, er, most things really. I love to ski, and just wish I could go on a slope longer than 180 metres.
Partly inspired by enjoying DinkC coding, I went to college to learn a bit of Software Development and am now working with some local developers, using VB.NET and C#.
I have many things I should be doing so writing a profile seemed a good way of putting them off.
I live in northwest England (south originally) and, um, that's about it.
I'm making a D-Mod and have some ambitious ideas for future ones but don't expect anything soon!

Thank you!
I've looked at the MouseDink scripts but they're a bit beyond me still... though I can see what you mean about using &arg1, &arg2 etc.
Can you tell me what exactly an argument is? I'm not sure of the right terminology for things. Is it a number that defines something, for example an x/y position or the 1 in say("baa", 1); ?
Also, I noticed that external is normally used: external("bomb","make_bomb"); but you added numbers afterwards to pass on: external("bomb","make_bomb",100,200);. Can that be done with any command - adding in otherwise meaningless numbers - for example create_sprite(200, 200, 3, 23, 1, 54, 75, 999);?
