I think he wanted to know what the coding for BF mods looks like.

it all looks like line noise bud , it just depends on how mentally Fked up you are in order to digest it efficiently. I chip along like a caveman making his wheel when I program. Some people can write good programs like taking a dump. But the better you are , the stranger you are.

well sort of, i think .con files have a big influence on ingame stuff too.

depends on what level of code you want to look at.
Everything is boiled down to 4-bit words called nibbles. ex . 0101
Pairs of nibbles form bytes, and is the basic unit. 1010 0101
From there if you take binary combinations of these you produce hex. 6F02 (hexadecimal is 0-9 A-F )
Mostly programs are written in a higher level laguage farther up the food chain , in C++.

#include

And all your macro-languages like used in games is just script like C scripts that are almost readable. ( like posted in the post above mine ) That one was obviously a snippet of code from a python script.

hope that covers whatever language level you wanted to look at ...

in my opinion, code is a bunch of crazy little marks stuck in a notepad-like thingy and compiled to make a program I think it takes some good determination to learn and you need some good references. (stuff on the internet isn't nearly as good as stuff like books)

#!/usr/bin/python
# Filename : helloworld.py
print 'Hello World'

Thats the classic "hello world" Its in python though (i dont know much of anything.. i want to learn, but my references are so limited..

but yeah, thats sorta how code looks like, i dont know if its a good example, but i hope it gave you a good idea

Ive been wondering, what does code look like? and is it hard to learn how to write it?
