I've started a new "small" project

its a special choice menu with millions of choices.

But I need to know, is it possible that dink can crash your WHOLE pc with a bad command or does it just always return to windows?

Because you can do this:

1. Press *button*
2. Select other
3. Select scripts
4. Select use script
5. Select script ( test1 - test5 )
6. Select give to sprite
7. Select a number ( 2 - 1000 )
8. Press on "DO IT"

and it will give test1.c for example to sprite 42

9. select run
10. external script
11. what procedure
12. which script ( test1 - test5 )
13. run script

and it will run "talk" in "test1" for example.

You can test things with this dev file etc... ( test 5 different scripts without replacing or changing the .c file )

I dont want to make a very dangerous command in this dev file. ( im not going to release it here, only avaible on my site )

I am not really sure what you mean, but I just played Cycles of Evil, and it tied up my computer, I could not quit. The only way out was to close my conputer and restart. So, I think you can crash the computer.

Oh, well, at least my computer was not doing anything important.

Ditto on not understanding exactly, but yes, there are a few ways to crash or at least lock up the PC. An endless loop with no wait will do that for example. I think bad arangments of {}s can do it too. I'm not sure about a bad command exactly though, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Well, I sure had my share of crashes when playing D-mods or trying dev files, so yeah, it's definitely possible to screw up a lot.

Mmmm, pizza. 
Hmm, I remember that something terribly bad can happen when you playsound() an undefined sound. An I mean something BAD!!
There are some other things that can crash it, I'm a Master Of Desaster with these things. (Or at least one of my friends. Bill's saying XP doesn't know blue screens? NONSENSE!!)
Ok, I'm a bit off topic now But Dink can crash your system.

YEP, sounds can screw things up. I had a script that called a wav-file that actually wasn't in the sound directory (after I copied this script from another dmod-attempt). Dink then just completely quits and returns to windows.
