If you haven\'t finished the game, don\'t look please.













I don\'t know if anyone has noticed, but...

From bytes 0x06F6D0 to 0x06f90f, the song is written backwards:

Why?

(If the picture doesn\'t show, tell me, and I\'ll see if I can upload it another way)

But it is in forward order when you watch it at the end of the game, right?

The source code for producing the song does not store the words together in a contiguous string, but in separate strings, one per word. Because the strings are word-length , the compiler is not obligated to put them into the executable in any particular order. I don\'t know the Visual C++ compiler well enough to predict how it will arrange strings.

Some day I would like to make a program that plays songs with lyrics like that in a generalized way. I\'ve written four S3M songs with associated lyrics and it would be neat to have a little \"karaoke\" player to present them. But man, I got enough projects.

In fact, I better get back to one of them right now...
