Red ochre

A useful thread for reading ideas now the shops are starting to re-open here. However I do like re-reading favourite books and often get more from them the second time. Fiction: Currently re-reading The lost World and other stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I love the Holmes stories too. The call of Cthulhu by H.P.Lovecraft - very dark - he obviously influenced Stephen King. Dracula by Bram Stoker - I've never seen a film/movie that does the book justice. Rogue Male by Geoffrey Household - brilliant. The Hobbit & Lord of the rings by J.R.R Tolkien - again film directors don't seem able to stick to the original story! Science: The book of nothing by John D Barrow. From the role of zero in mathematics to quantum vacuum energy. Fascinating and well written. A history of Ancient Britain by Neil Oliver The elegant universe by Brian Greene. Layman's explanation of string theory...enjoyed what I understood! Periodic Tales by Hugh Aldersey Williams. Blend of science history and travelogue. MCAD/MCSD Windows based applications with Visual basic.NET and Visual C#.Net (2002) - £2.99 in a charity shop! - bought it to help with insomnia!🤪

Happy birthday Rick and many happy updates (returns)🎂🍺

I was writing some suggestions but I've clearly offended you both - sincerely not meant - I apologize! So not much point in giving feedback that will not be considered. Understandable, you have both invested a lot of time in codelab. Many thanks for your hard work.

I very rarely use codelab these days (sorry!)... so my advice is very dated! (as are some of the tutorials I believe). I use VS19 as it can copy the output direct to Effects folder (when run as admin) - so no messing around with Bat files (I don't want Covid19!).😄 Also more control over the U.I. prop rules, intellisense refactoring suggestions, etc. I know you have put a lot work into making codelab more like VS but I wonder if it has become too complex for beginners? - perhaps consider a 'code lab light' for those with zero C# experience. It's easy to forget how daunting coding a simple effect is the first time.
