Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice. 
In the last year of highschool, everybody have to make a computer project. I started mine earlier, and, it's of course dink-related, and will be released here very soon(in a few weeks). Now I need some beta-testers. The only condition required for somebody to beta-test my project is to know DinkC.
That's why, I'll give you here a small script. Find 2 errors in it(they are 3, in total), mail me at cypryoprisa@gmail.com, and I'll send you the project:

void talk(void)
{
freeze(1);
freeze(&current_sprite);
choice_start()
set_title_color #
title_start();
What do you want?
title_end();
"Hello"
(&story = 7)"Where is the key"
"Nothing"
choice_end()

if(&result == 1)
{
say_stop("Hello",1);
say_stop("`4Hello Dink",&current_sprite);
return;
}

if(&result == 2)
{
say_stop("`4I don't know",&current_sprite);
return;
}

unfreeze(1);
unfreeze(&current_sprite);
}

Well, strictly, I only see one error and two bugs which give an undesired effect

So what do you say, Simeon? Would you like to beta-test my project? I'd really need a beta-tester with your skills.

No, I only recieved a mail from Lunacre. By the way, don't use my gmail account anymore, it won't let me send the file, because it contains an .exe file in the archive. I couldn't even send it from my yahoo account to gmail.
Use instead, cypryoprisa@yahoo.com.

I only see one error, although there are numerous places that I would have put spaces and indents... I don't know if spaces in the commands are essential... I am just used to putting them into my scripts anyway.

Well at the moment, the Netherlands is like, suffering a heat wave so I'm not really busy these days I also haven't done much Dink related recently but if I do, the main priority would be finishing this D-Mod.

lol, that's a year ago (July 13th 2005) and the post says development was going slow as well I think I forgot how to solve my own puzzles

Heat wave temperatures are a relative blizzard compred to where I live... You should be happy that you live in a cold little country that is all city, windmills, and tulips.

You have to consider a heat wave is hot for any country that officially endures it. In the Netherlands, temperatures of 35 degrees Celcius are quite unusual for this period of time; the people here are not used to it. Likewise, if you're used to 30 degrees C, you'll "suffer" when you have to endure 50 degrees for a longer period of time.

For example, I know someone (from the Netherlands) who went to the USA and, at 20 Celcius, while he was walking with T-Shirts, others were wearing warm clothes covering their arms and such: they were not used to such "cold" temperatures. Likewise, people from the Netherlands can likely endure -10C better than people from certain parts of the USA. I could go on saying that Inuits...

So say whatever you like about the city, windmills and tullips; heat waves are heat waves.

true enough... where I live temperatures vary from about -5 to 40 C, depending on the time of year. This way, we can get ice in the winter and blistering heat in the summer. To say that this is always enjoyable would be a major exageration, although personally, I tend to prefer the cold to the heat.

...I can still only find one flaw that will keep the script from working...

Hmm, I'll change my earlier statement to 2 bugs, 2 errors.. I did see that title_color one but I just saw one I didn't see earlier If we're really gonna be strict, I'd say 2 bugs, 2 errors and 2 places where the syntax is not "ideal"

I've seen everything between -50 and + 45 C. I prefer it warm. You don't get so worried about the pink bits falling off.

Ok guys, I decided to release a public beta. You can take it from here.
Don't laugh because it's one of my first visual program. I also have some questions for some experienced programmers:
1. How do I provide a option in the menu to select this as the default application for *.c files?
2. I want to include the compiler in the project, but it's source it's written in C, and my program is in Delphi. How can I use a C function in a Delphi program(if you don't use Delphi: how can I used a different language function in a program)?
3. Is there any way to find the caret position from a memo in screen coords?

Hope you'll enjoy my program. If you find any bugs or have any sugestions, don't hesitate to post them here.
I plan to release the full version this week, because I'll go in a 10 days vacantion saturday.

Here's my (short so far) try:

-sintacticaly should be syntactically
-in the Project menu, when adding global variables.. perhaps an idea not to require the ampersand and to let the program add it (so you don't get an invalid variable name error) because basically, all variables need the ampersand and it's not really part of the variable name.
