Well I've made some progress. I worked out a rough flowchart for the first part of the game. That chart has forty-eight sections. I'm breaking that chart down into smaller charts of five to eight blocks. For now each block has five to ten lines of code. I've already worked in the first subchart of eight blocks starting with block 20, 100,200, 300,400, 500, 600, 700. The second subchart will start with block 800. The charts below are the original flowchart of part one of the game. It's going to be at least three parts before it's finished. The second chart is the first subchart from the first flowchart. There will be at least six of these from this one flowchart and there will be at least two more flowcharts. And all this is going into a computer that has 128k RAM and a 1.2 mhz processor. Slow is the operative word here.
No problem here. I still have the "Insert Image" icon on the "Advanced" settings toolbar on Chrome.
Also, I have no problems with it, either when updating or otherwise.
Hi Dale,
As you should be well aware, we are all here to lend any support or advise we may be able too!
Getting the firewood cleared out is a good start for sure.
I'm starting to also work more on my layout. as well.

Must be on your system because I'm typing in a quick reply box now and it has the tools above it for inserting photos, videos, etc.

Well Terry & Karl,
I see nothing to click on to insert an image, either above or below the window and I even tried the, 'Go Advanced' tab and still nothing.
Before I was able to click on a image icon which would cause browser window to pop down butt now nothing! ?
I'm wondering if the fact I wasn't able to up grade Adobe has anything to do with it ?
Very strange indeed.

Good morning everybody.
On the discussion about computer browsers, I just changed to Firefox on the older computer, and I am happy with that. The newer computer is an Apple I-Mac, and of course, it has no problems.
Terry ..... I looked at your news link concerning the truck train accident. There seams to be more and more truck/train collisions. I wonder if cell phones are involved in some of them.
Everybody ...... If you are interested in my layout photos, I have been posting some in the weekly photo fun section. This is my fourth weekly edition.
Here is one of the pictures.

Good morning. It's 69° with 100% humidity. The high will be 85° and will feel like 94°.
No real plans for today. I'm not feeling very good. This morning I'm watching Jurassic Park. Maybe tyhis afternoon I'll work on programming in the second subchart for Native Fury.
A GE U25B is being towed back to the shop. They may make it before Christmas.

Good afternoon all,
I finally got all the wood hauled out of my garage train area from the last 2 failed attempts at a train layout.
Somebody has enough firewood for most of the winter.
Tomorrow or Tuesday I will start a third.
Hopefully before long I can get one I like that will work out.
You all have an outstanding day and take care.

Your reply as well as the others prior by Jeffrey and Terry
Hi Bill and thanks for the input, :smile: [ Icon wouldn't post.]
When you mentioned Google Chrome that somewhat rang a bell as I remember Jeffrey & Terry or maybe it was Karl talking about Chrome. I'm still using Firefox as I was prior, when I was able to post pictrues, so maybe I just need to update it?? I'll have to try that as it worked fine prior up until about five days ago I think? Or maybe I'll need to ad Chrome to my desktop also?
Good to hear from you again.
Take care,
David
Ps: No Smiley faces could be posted either.

Well I got two subcharts (fourteen blocks) programmed in today, twice what I had planned on doing but I wanted to get the killers cabin done today as well as the forest segment. Tomorrow I'll probably be working on the airport segment or the hotel segment or if I'm feeling really good I may do both! I've only been working on it for two days and there are already several ways for the player to get killed. Here's the kicker. You only get three lives and each time you get sacked you have to start at square one and go find the things you need again. Things like keys, a lantern, a knife, etc. I haven't worked a train into it yet but anything's possible. I decided to knock off for today as my eyes were starting to get tied in knots. The program already takes up fourteen sectors on the diskette. The coding is basic and is mostly if-then-goto statements. It's been a long time since I did anything like this (wrote Hell House in 1998 under the HomeTech Software logo) but it's coming back.
