doesn't anyone else agree? pretty much every example has some sort of missed-spelled--or missed--variable, or other parts messed up also... kinda reminds me of the text books...lol has anyone else noticed the same probleM? |

With every new version on WOOT I try to run their Sprite example. With every version I shake my head in frustration. |

i don't miss the sprites that much anymore, it's actually kinda easier without them... i just want fullscreen back! well, there's other stuff too but mostly fullscreen. hehe... my teacher said 'WOOT' (it's still funny even if it wasn't meant as w00t) |

ya, for some reson it seems to get wores as it gets upgraded. at least they put compiling back in 
very annoying when the code examples have typos, i could live with spelling mistakes and stuch in the discription but having code in there that they did not even test? come on it only takes like 2 seconds to copy and past it in to turing  |

First post here. Hey everyone, what is WOOT? Is that the same as OOT? |

WOOT is just Windows Object Oriented Turing. I guess my terminology is redundant, the last DOS version was not OO. Sorry for the confusion. Oh Mazer, I had to go to Urban Dictionary to figure out what that heck you were talking about. |

Doesn't "w00t" originally mean "we own the other team"? |

w00t can also mean, like YESS!! or Huray... in tah kinda sense...or at least i heard it used that way a lot.... in games like Starcraft.. anyways.... Turings help files are crap.... try using the joystick... none of the stuff in there helps.... im glad they fixed in new version i hear..... have to upgrade... lots of their examples dont work.. and use the palette command which dont work no more... kinda sad and pathetic realy... for a profession company...well they'll fix it eventually in there upgrades i hope.. |

It's not that bad actually, the help files actually do help when you have no one around. Yeh some codes dont work, but they are fixed easily |
