Oh well,


Also Wolf, IFYOUDONTLIKELONGVARIABLENAMESLIKETHISTHANMAYBE you can make your own header file with thames that are easier for you to write and understand, I do that a lot, write a lot of macros.

Im obsesed with macros....

(If someone else takes a look at your code, all those macros will make it hard to follow).

Oh yeah, I remeber he said to avoid using them.
Got a point there.

macros are evil they can simplfy the code for you but they also can f*ck up your code for the others.
