Clearing confusion about Sprite3DBlendingMode()

I made a small program to clear some confusion about the Sprite3DBlendingMode() command. Hope it helps some people.

Any questions?

Why can't you just give us the source?
I think exe's are scary :cry:

I hate when people say that. If you apply that logic a person would never download anything or install any software on their computer. They would just have a computer with an empty hard drive that doesn't boot up. If you are scared of EXEs, you have no business owning a computer and absolutely no business programming.

DriakTravo lives in the USA (kewl, I used to live in the Tampa area). It is a federal crime here to create and distribute a virus. It is punishable by 20+ years in federal prison. I seriously doubt DriakTravo wants so spend 20+ years of his life in federal prison married to some guy named "Bubba". Its a safe download.

Man, I thought having this many posts and having a website with several coded PB games on it would get people to trust me but I guess not...

Here is the code and the images:

@DriakTravo. Don't worry I for one, and I'm sure many others, trust and respect you for your many useful contributions to this forum.

Thanks for the source anyway, it's always nice to see other people's source code. That's how I learnt to code, typing away endless pages of code from magazines and then spending hours on fixing typing or print bugs.

DriakTravo: I didn't say that I don't trust you. :wink:
Brice Manuel: And how do you know it's safe?
Any virus could attach itself to that exe without DriakTravo knowing.

DriakTravo: I didn't say that I don't trust you.
Yes you did, you asked for the source because exes are scary.
Brice Manuel: And how do you know it's safe?
Because I am not a tard and I scan any file I download with my AV program which checks for updates daily.
Any virus could attach itself to that exe without DriakTravo knowing.
I also think DriakTravo is not a tard and I am positive he scans any files he posts on the internet with an equally up to date AV program. As noted before: I seriously doubt DriakTravo wants so spend 20+ years of his life in federal prison married to some guy named "Bubba" for accidentally transmitting a virus.

My development machine is not connected to the Internet. There is NO chance for a virus to ever infect my computer and anything installed on my development machine is scanned on my "net" system before I install it. Even though I know without a doubt the software I create is 100% safe and secure, I still scan any software I create before I post it online, as the risks are too great. I will not throw a 20+ year reputation and career as a programmer away because of laziness and I don't want so spend 20+ years in federal prison married to some guy named "Bubba" for accidentally transmitting a virus. Any self-respecting developer will take the same precautions.

Joakim be honest, you only wanted the source code, a virus was never a concern for you. Your first post in this thread was also asking for the source code. :wink:

I was hoping this thread could be about the program itself but I guess it turned into an argument about people being scared of viruses and exe.... all well -- enjoy it anyway.

Hehe, sorry about that.
The program was very handy! :)

EDIT:
The only reason I asked for the source was because a little example like this should be posted as a source. (since many people don't like downloading exe's) No reason for Brice Manuel to go crasy... :?
