Hello everyone again.
I am currently making a high score/message engine and I need some people to check it out for me. You just run the code, type in anything, and wait 6 seconds for the program to finish. I really need everyone to do this. It would help if you did it about 5 times too. When the engine is finished, I will release the full source to everyone in the forums. Thank You.
