    Places Programming ModificationsStarted by:Ilovemath224, Aug/13/12 02:41 PM
    Okay, I'm not sure if any of you guys
    know how many contraptions and
    contrivances I've already used in Mobile
    Base Alpha, as well as the number of Run
    Program contraptions alone, but saying
    I've used over 250 Run Program
    contraptions alone is a [i]reasonab

    [b]The Enquirer[/b] is far from an ideal
    venue for reporting bugs, but we need
    someplace to capture what we notice.
    This thread is only meant to be an
    early-days place-holder until CMJ can
    set up something better, say in GitHub.

    I love the functionality of places, for
    the most part. But the design is less
    than ideal. There are two major problems
    I see with it. I know both of these have
    been brought up before, but here it goes

    Thoughts are now live! "Thoughts" are
    what a programmer would call variables.
    Like Memories, but they only exist for a
    single page load. Because they're not
    saved anywhere, we don't need to take up

    Here in 2013, technology has definitely
    evolved. While the intro does have some
    things that still work, like claiming
    you can browse on your computer and
    phone (which IS still a thing), other
    parts, I believe, should be changed.
