Evil Dark Basic Overlord (huh miss spelling oops)- Game -- just for fun I hope this hasn't been done before- If so sorry, Evil Dark Basic Overlord PART II
What would you do if your where the Evil Dark Basic Overlord? It goes like this:
I would not mention the release date of a patch , I would merely post it somewhere without any notice. Or even mention it's existance.
I would make relational operators un-rational.
I would print out a manual on the smallest size they can print on. Oops that’s been done.
Forever drive the c++ programmers insane.

It's not the size of your code but how efficiently you use it!

Or make it an even lower level language than assembly, with a manual written in cuneiform on stone tablets the size of jupiter, so you you need a telescope to read them
(Just got my dvdboxed DBC today, so I know what you mean about the manual )

Huh Seems to be a shortage of Evil Overlords.
Remember real evil overlords don't swear - we just call other countries special ops' cream puffs and pansies. Except the aussies they have beer.

design the thing to run only on quantum computers, but then only support the product until the day before said machines are released onto the market.

I would make forums for programmers that are so un user-friendly it doesnt even have an edit-button to correct tpyos with!. Oh, has that been done already too?

I would write a 3D engine and write my rotation code with gimbal lock.

I would write a game tool that bloats the size of exe's if you try to include the media to protect it from copying.

I would make it so that you cannot pass a variable stored in an array into functions.

I would write an editor that changes the 'find' field on every fresh search through your code.

I would get the language starting to work really well and just before I delivered the ultimate version I would rebrand it with a new name and get people to buy it again.

I would include impracticle CD protection.

I would make a team requests forum.

"Huh Seems to be a shortage of Evil Overlords."

Maybe more 'Evil Overlords' would come if they knew this post was about them and not about 'overloads'.

Just a thought.

If you want fresh underwear in the morning, take it off the night before.

I would make you have to buy two cds to get the *enhanced*(full) version of a program..

I would make a really really, really bad product to easily click and make 3d games that tarnish the entire community name, but would fool newbs and small children to beg their parents into buying it...

I'd create program where an object may be rotated except the z axis would be the world axis unlike the others, and not allow this option to be changed...

I would make midis loopable, but make it so there is an audible silence inbetween loops..

I would make mp3s load entirely into memory, instead of streaming, with no option to change this

I would make a command to increase a variable, except I wouldn't allow this command to be used with arrays!

oh wait...it's already been done.......

(sorry i just couldnt resist^_^, I know I know...it was in poor taste....)
