they don`t pile up like last time quite as much, but not how I would like them to work in my game, but I need sleep now cos I`v bin working on this of 4 hours, and it 1/2 one in the morning, hope this helps bergice.
if any one else can sort this out, or just give us a hint or two it would be most appreciated.
bergice how did you take the pic of my program?
if its from a program, could you add a link or a download?
soul sucking devils, twisted body of the damed, slivering slim drips from ever poor, sin licking at your ears, and the smell stinging your eyes, and if you don't like it, get out of my kitchen!....
