As to the free will bit. Every other time randomness is used in science it's used to cover up something more complicated underneath (eg. the problem of determining whether a coin will land heads or tails). I think there's a strong argument to say that randomness is not an entity in itself. If some e...

Flimsy, I'm pretty sure it's not helpful to talk about my beliefs here (or to talk specifically about your beliefs either). After all it's not a case of which are *better*. The original thing I replied to was the cartoon stating the following things: "Religion is fundamentally flawed in a stagg...

I've tried to write this to avoid provoking further discussion (as Quantum's fed up with it). If you want to respond then PM me or something (though I'm out of the country from Sunday evening for two weeks). Flimsy you've written a lot of stuff, some of which is specific to some Christians, some of ...

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/2737/frame8oh.gif "Why is there evil?" is a pretty big question and it's not easy to answer because it's really vague. I suggest these other questions, I don't know if they amount to the same thing, but at least I can come up with answers that satisfy me...

I think not.

Where do I host my magnificent video?

Also how do I make it smaller than several meg?

There's a thread somewhere with discussion as to what the emoticons mean, but generally I think they mean whatever you want them to mean.

I can only seem to be able to complete this when the speed is set to 2 slower than normal. At normal speed I can't get past the first board :-(

What exactly is allowed during the speed run in terms of speed changing, saving, etc?

I wrote a bf executer in ZZT a few years ago, and then thought it would never be interesting to anyone, but it turns out someone else has done the same thing. Brilliant! I can't remember the exact specifics of my engine, but there was roughly a register for each column on the board. Each column coul...

Ah, thanks. I'd found the path up there before, but assumed the aim was to hit the final platform. In other words - I is teh fail. Haven't tried entering the code yet though.

I don't think it would be too obvious, JDM's right. I think the challenge of an inventory based game should be similar to the point of a text adventure - to work out how to use each object. Otherwise you could just be searching round everything in the room that remotely looked like an object. There ...

I beat everything, but didn't see the password for dodgesquare, just for pop. My highscore for pop is 1390, which is probably pathetically low.

I think if at all possible the directional shooting would be best. Although tombraider has automatic aim turned on, this would be a very different automatic aim. Lara Croft will aim about 45 degrees from the way she's facing automatically, whereas this ZZT character would only be able to automatical...
