::::[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 14:05, 12 July 2006 (EDT): Using Visual C++ or Visual Basic to build the construction set really doesn't make much of a difference (except for how the programming code is written and operates). For instance, Visual C++ runs faster than Visual Basic for visual display effects. As far as controls go, its pretty much the same in that the controls are usually pre-made and you drag and drop them to create forms and such (in this case, the scriptedit window). The other question to ask would be how much spacing are you putting into the script? Removing excess lines would shorten the number of characters but it is only one character per enter so it wont save much in spacing. Comments, on the other hand, could take up a large amount of usable space in the script due to the character limit. | ::::[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 14:05, 12 July 2006 (EDT): Using Visual C++ or Visual Basic to build the construction set really doesn't make much of a difference (except for how the programming code is written and operates).

And even if I were to remove all of them... it's over 10,000 lines long now (this is the naming script). | |||
:::::For the record, though, I've already determined how to break up the script, so I don't need this. This is entirely out of curiousity for me (though it would save some work, I suppose). | |||

:::[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 14:05, 12 July 2006 (EDT): LOL! Its pretty much the same here. Wordpad is nearly identical to Notepad with the exception that it isn't hindered by the same character limit that Notepad has. There may be a limit to it, but I haven't run into it yet when opening random files. | :::[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 14:05, 12 July 2006 (EDT): LOL! Its pretty much the same here.
