MizzMona Wrote:the original Count.txt list was revisited by mizz_mona, who modified the Count.ptxt code to include counting below zero and negative incrementing/decrementing; with a new calling expression, it was then released as an upgrade for Count.txt, under version 3.0, on May 1, 2014.

# HISTORY
#
# Count.txt resulted from the collaboration and effort of mizz_mona (original
# blocklist and calling expression, and the first decrement code); ScoJo, who
# reworked the initial "concept" blockfile with breakthrough coding that used
# recursive calling that theoretically allowed infinite incremental counting;
# the late Scott R. Lemmon, who refined ScoJo's work; and sidki, who produced
# such an elegant zero-stop variation, Count.ptxt, that much was incorporated
# into the second version of the original Count.txt. For some time, Count.txt
# development ended; the original list could do incrementing/decrementing and
# continue below zero; however, recursion was needed for some operations, and
# calls to the list generated entries in the log window (known as "log spam").
# Meanwhile, sidki continued work on Count.ptxt, improving speed of operation.
# To that, Mike/z12 contributed a brilliant coding solution to produce a non-
# recursive list, and by "failing" the match after processing, the Count.ptxt
# list also no longer generated log spam. Debugged by mizz_mona and sidki, it
# was released May 5, 2005 and still endures today. As recorded in Count.ptxt:
#
# Updated 2004-04-20 by sidki
# -> Added decrementing (down to zero only).
#
# Updated 2004-10-14 by sidki
# -> Format changed for speed reasons.
#
# Updated 2005-05-04 by Mike/z12
# -> Make the list return false so the log window doesn't fill up.
# -> No longer uses recursive calling.
#
# Updated 2005-05-05 by Mona and sidki
# -> Format changes and bugfixes.
#
# Sidki included the list, Count.ptxt, in his popular public config. The list
# was fast, did not generate log spam, but also did not support incrementing/
# decrementing negative numbers and would not count down below zero (features
# unnecessary to the operation of his config). Nine years later, the original
# Count.txt list was revisited by mizz_mona, who modified the Count.ptxt code
# to include counting below zero and negative incrementing/decrementing; with
# a new calling expression, it was then released as an upgrade for Count.txt,
# under version 3.0, on May 1, 2014.
