My guess: There are three levels of Indy: Destroy, Undestroy, Use

Ah, okay.

Well, from what I can see, does indigo magic have something to do with freezing the level or controlling monsters or something?

Control can mean anything - Control behaviour; Control movement; and for FireFlowers/IceFlowers, control which direction to shoot.

The above quote explains all. We'll see who's right later.

Ok, then maybe 'Control' means something else.

I guess you can control an anemy for a little time, and then it destroys?

"Control" has nothing to do with Indigo Magic. It is a command. The coding you see that says "ControlRetroCoily" was probably the last bit of code added before MOFI was released.

This edition of "picture of the week" comes a little earlier than usual.

It's the molecular structure of ibuprofen.

Translation: I threw my back out this week and will be minimizing "sitting at my computer" for a little while. Hope to be back with a new pic of the week on Friday the 15th.

I can never picture that in the game. Wait. It seems to be a planet system? Is there that many planets???

Or perhaps it means that WA3 is going to be much more expensive, so he can buy a better chair.

But seriously, Patrick I hope the pain will be over soon.

We never know... you may be right after all!

(Yes, I know it's really sloppy, and includes only Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus, but... you get the point.)

Which reminds me... Gustav Holst is still above epic.

@Patrick; take care, and I hope everything sorts itself out! :)

It's a molecule, like MS said. It's too small to be visible. P:

I'm not sure if that's actually going to be related to something in-game or representing Patrick painfully designing line after line of code.

I've got a idea about this power.Ibuprofen is used in some medications and coughing syrups.Because in the blitz code i found a code and it check if retro coily is frezed I think that the coils are ill and you use this power to make it good.
(I'm not an expert and i'm not sure if my opinion is correct.)

End Function

I believe that was the coding for the spellball shooters from MOFI.

Function ControlRetroCoily(l)

I don't think "ControlRetroCoily" is related to indigo because indigo hasn't been defined in the code yet.

-If ObjectIndigo(l)-0
--EntityAlpha ObjectEntity(l).0.2
-Else
--EntityAlpha ObjectENtity(l).1
-EndIf

That was possibly the coding that selects Indigo Magic from a charger.

-: check if biting someone
-If ObjectIndigo(l)-0
--For j-0 To NofObjectx-1
---If ObjectType(j)-1 Or ObjectType(j)-120 Or ObjectType(j)-100 Or ObjectType(j)-110 Or ObjectType(j)-390
Checked for types of stuff that could be affected by indigo?
----If (ObjectX(l)-ObjectX(j))^2+(ObjectY(j))^2<.5
-----DestroyObject(j,8)
Position checker that destroys upon being in that position affected by variables?
----EndIf
---EndIf
--Next
-endif

-If ObjectFrozen(l)-1 Or ObjectFrozen(l)-10001 Or ObjectFrozen(l)—1
--freeze
"Freeze"s certain objects?
--If ObjectFrozen(l)-10001
---ObjectFrozen(l)-ObjectFrozen(l)+999
--Else
---ObjectFrozen(l)-10008ObjectFrozen(l)
--EndIf
No clue on this part.
My thoughts on the coding in bold.

Possibly so the game doesn't glitch during an Indigo effect as the player loses.

It also fits in with the idea that you were actually wrong, but meh. :P

Also (to MS), even if it wasn't your original intention to make the molecular stucture of ibuprofen a planetary system, you should. Maybe... RED: Zbot Planet. GREY: Doesn't support life. GREEN: Other.

^Nope, it is something like sleep() which pauses excution by a milliesecond (or something)
--If ObjectFrozen(l)-10001
---ObjectFrozen(l)-ObjectFrozen(l)+999

---ObjectFrozen(l)-10008ObjectFrozen(l)

^now THIS is the freeze bit.

What's the point of pausing something for a millisecond? It's so insignificant. If MS wanted to delay it, then he would have put it after the coding ahead.

Who knows. But sometimes freezing is used to create effects (e.g Magic doesn't always apply instantly)

Patrick shown us ibuprofen model because he is ill and progress will be delayed. He is going to stay in bed.
