Because you concatenated the string, expr( is evaluating the phrase "11" which is the real number 11.

EDIT: Damn, ninja'd again.

I like the rule about writing your variables on paper first. I do it initially but then I forget to update the list and get lost x.x. Always keep track of what each variables do.

I always wondered about that.
Doesn't optimizing as you go create problems if you happen to forget what line of code does what?

I see where your coming from, that is true if your working with complicated code, but from my point of view, if you have a hardcopy with notes, it should be fine

To add to rule 18, do not fall into the trap some people did: rewriting the game completly to save space and stuff, then a few months later doing the same thing again, then again, again. It's ok if done once or twice, but otherwise it's an endless loop for most coders and they never get to finish the game, as they spend their entire time rewriting it.

Five references to go.

Yeah, as two people on #omnimaga are aware of, the amount of posts containing "the game"  on the forums have reached 666.

Very good tutorial.
Just these rules already explain why some early games of mine failed.
