Well, I puked my guts out last night and I'm staying home from school, so here's my variable script experimentation... up until this week, I never touched the Numbers category. What you do: press the left or right arrow keys. The farther the ticker is from a red tick, the faster the colours will change. The gist of this project: "forever, change color effect by [variable]. When right arrow key pressed, change [variable] by 1. When left arrow key pressed, change [variable by -1. forever if [variable]= -200, 0, or 200 (three separate scripts)" And for the ticker: "forever, go to x: [variable] y: 170."
