  Mainly I meant a language for hackers. You know, that type of language
which you can use to make marvelous things with an incredibly short piece
of code... which is also so obfuscated you don't understand it at all... :P

You're welcome. I figured this one pretty
fast because I had similiar ideas about dynamic
texture/array/object generation some months
ago, and gave thought to those issues at
that time. And seeing your code, it was
rather simple to just write my initial thoughts
about it... :-)

Aren't you forgetting who started the scrambled signature craze?

I haven't (in case he conveniently forgets) and would be more than
happy to name names.
