Hi, Just to let everyone know, I'm reading "Supercharged Javascript Graphics" by Mr. Cecco, the guy who did Exolon, one of my all time favourite games. I'm loving it as it's teaching me proper object- oriented programming VIA game programming, which I always disliked before. But the oldskool influence is very noticeable - he bizarrely devotes some time to "2's complements", for example! It's just so thrilling to see the psychology of a Spectrum games writer laid bare before you - if only he had written a "Supercharged Spectrum Graphics" back then, and if only I'd got hold of it! :) BitNaughty.

I've never heard it before, and can't see anyone apart from you using it, so it rather appears that it was you :-) To me a 'tuple' (pronounced with a long or short 'U') is a data type supported by languages such as Python and Haskell to bundle a small number of values (usually two or three) into a single unit - like an array, but non-mutable and more lightweight (you can't directly concatenate two of them together, for example). Does that help...?

Pity it doesn't mention how to hunt down and kill idiots who keep spouting irrelevant off-topic bollocks to Usenet threads...
