Nice effects to embellish the low budget production, too.
A good number of movie classics are to be found in YouTube such as Free Primetime movies and Bigtime – Free Movies. One of them is Breakfast at Tiffany’s, a second…[Read more]

Going to need to fix the rest of the places where it shows up. We’ll want to fix things up at some point to make sure that we don’t run into this problem again. We’ll want to move the string functions over to the proper file, for instance.

Looking at the new error log, it looks like _WIN32 isn’t being brought in from MSVC for whatever reason even though it’s a compiler level macro. That should be easy enough to fix: I’ll just add it…[Read more]
