I disagree. I find LET very useful in distinguishing when values are changing in my code. I'm pretty sure the computers of today can handle the extra bytes.
LET might not have any purpose, but it is absolutely rediculous that some people feel the need to tell others not to use it.
LET doesnt make any difference whatsoever, it doesnt make the code any better or any worse.
People should just keep their mouths shut about it, and let people that want to use it do so without any shit talking.
That LET wiki entry is plain opinionated, biased, unprofessional, and insulting to cavemen. It should be reverted back to it's previous state.
It's called humor, the wiki is hilarious. It's a joke!
This game is awesome, btw. :)
Nice work! It's quite entertaining.

Dang! I thought Polybius meant an unnatural fear of using arrays. ;-))
Well my post was serious, except for the insulting to cavemen part which was also a joke.Keybone, I agree with you about the issue with the word LET.
The fact of the matter is though that people really do criticize for the use of LET which is rediculous.
It's like shut the heck up and mind your own business. If you dont like someone's use of LET then don't use their code.
Btw, I was well aware that the wiki article was a joke...
Keybone, I agree with you about the issue with the word LET.
The only value I see is let solves a problem with the EQUAL sign. You were taught in school = means stuff on the left is the same as stuff on the right. Its not an ASSIGNMENT, its a STATEMENT. Enter BASIC. The idea was to have a way to assign value to something.
LET gets that done. Let this thing have this value.
So if you do that a million times, you can drop the LET and keep going, no problem
That can be the only value to LET I can think of. (other than old man syndrome where it was good enough for my dad and his dad, etc etc)
If x = x + 2?
When would this be true?
