Lateblight

People sometimes ask me where the name comes from, and besides, there's nothing better than a game for Windows 3.x which has lots of options and graphs in it, so I saw this video as a win-win.

You run the program in Win 3.1 and yet still pull up the Run dialog to run it command-line style instead of clicking on a shortcut, heh.

What about the lack of complete Parser interface in Lateblight? You sure seem to be using the mouse a lot.

@SchlossRitter There didn't seem to be any logical program group to put this program into. Using a mouse is acceptable if it's for Windows 3.x.

I'm sick to death of the LateBlight versus Ocarina of Time forum flame wars on which was the better game.

I don't care how sparse that may look; any game with "Potato" as an option is automatically awesome.

@rhokitten yes!! :D when i first read it, i figured it might be about some midnight snack :P but then when i heard him pronounce it, i realized it must be something else.

I always thought that LateBlt stood for a late bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. I figured you came up with it when you were hungry and just pronounced it odd. Lol, I'm so dumb. xP

I've only taken one college electronics class, so I don't know if this is good or not; but when we made timers in my class we used JK Flipflops.

What are you talking about? There's no such flame war here. I can't even find any mention of this flame war anywhere on the internet. Was it from a topic that has since disappeared?

Interesting to finally found out where you name comes from. I think I may have played this once or twice on my Win3.1x machines, although personally I hated Win3.1x.

BTW, care to share some of those "other" names you had on IRC? Kinda curious.

[Dilandau3000]

Nope, sorry. I may be a scientist, but I'm afraid I'm an engineer, not a botanist, and plant disease is not one of the topics covered in a Computer Science degree. :P

The only reason I know wx is because aviation is one of my hobbies, and there that abbreviation is used a lot. :)

[LateBlt]

Nothing wrong with nitpicking; the world is all about details. Sometimes.

I honestly didn't know that wx is an abbreviation for weather. So, that's yet another question you've cleared up; thanks! Now maybe you can explain what each of the 10 lines on the chart actually mean. =) Just kidding... But thanks again!
