RE: [sphere_project] Whaaaaazzzzzuuup!!!

Oh no problem, I just thought it was a bit funny.
 
I am trying to find a working build of Bolder and it seems that there is none. Bolder actually was using the PHP scripting DLL and there was quite a bit of programmability. For instance, I had a pallet file that contained commands to create new objects, switch the active "tool" (design mode/run mode), and could at one point if I remember correctly edit object's scripting from within the program. There was also an XML format that was compiled into the internal object stream format used for stacks, this was how I boot strapped the pallet which in turn let you (sort of) build additional stacks.
 
When I write it all out like that it sounds a lot more impressive than it really strikes me as, but I was on a good path until I lost the plot with the object streaming code. At a certain point I decided that I was trying to do too much at once, so I pulled out the form designer code and the object streaming code and created an application called FormScript. This uses a more dynamic format for the object streaming system, but I never reintegrated the new stuff into Bolder. FormScript actually worked pretty well, but it is dependent on Python for it's scripting language.

Thanks for the link, Isaac. I have downloaded it and will check
