Yawn, so sleepy, I whipped this up in 30 min...
You CAN borrow money to bet, but don't run into the Gorilla Thug
first time I posted, forgot all the pictures... Shocked
Edit: I took off the cls part, so it doesnt flash anymore, and I made each advancement smaller, and shortened the delay, so there should be a smoother animation.

Where did the idea come from? I've been using this as an asignment for 3 years now (at 3 different schools around the province) Pure chance ...maybe.

the tired brain is a mysterious thing... pure chance... perhaps..., actually I got the idea from my java textbook, an assignment for the "Story of the race between the Turtle and Hare"

Cool, mine came from an old example of rolling dice and counting how many of each are rolled.

good job, looking much better... One comment though for the source code: gah, so many numbers numbers are not a good thing you know...
mousex + 123 - it means nothing to the viewer. But anyways keep it up..

mousex + 123? i don't have that on...
oh, and the numbers are just my way of programming, they help me tell the position of stuff, relative to each other.

'mousex + 123' is just an example...
