Did you see the part where I said "my art ability is about nil"?

Think "programmer-art" and shudder in fear.

Few graphics editors do icons, so that might still be a handy option for whomever makes the icon. Nice, considering that that site can import uploads in other image formats... someone just needs to make a square picture.

Of course, I've been wrong before... like about the unstable warp point to the center of that black hole.

For reference, Visual Studio has a built-in icon editor.

I have photoshop and all sorts of tools to make images. It doesn't even need to be a .ico or .bmp file, I can use jpg, gif, png, etc.

What I'm lacking is SKILL at making any kind of reasonable-looking image.

Really, I have close to zero artistic ability.

I've got a temporary image I'm using for now, but what I'm hoping is that someone artistic feels like making a nifty image for the "About" window. If you also feel like making a nifty .ico file for the program icon, that'd be neat, too.

If no one feels like doing this..that's ok too! I'll happily release without things like nifty icons. I just think they make things a little more polished is all.

Woohoo! I've got the formula parser working. It will now evaluate a formula and tell if its valid or not. I can also plug in values for any "variables" in the formula and calculate the answers.

Next steps: Formula wizard to help create formulas and show the values of the formulas at various levels.

Getting close!

Here's some shots of the Formula Wizard - it's turning out quite well, actually.

Valid Formula:

Invalid Formula (with explanation of error):

I'm just about done with the formula wizard. After that, I need to debug the column sorting and reordering in the facility list (it works MOST of the time, but sometimes not, so I need to find out why and fix it) and then package it all up with an installer.

Once I release the initial version, I'll start on the component editor.

Here is something that may catch you:
What is 100 + 10 - 10 - 100?

And another good one is:
100 / 2 / 2 / 2
Also ask yourself if the answer should be rounded off.
