Code. Does it have an owner?

[CTT_Mustapha]

Hi.

I'm pretty sure that the answer to this is that it's all free to use for anybody but i was just wondering if certain bits of code belong to certain people like i've seen many tutorials that use the code:

function move (x,y) {
etc
etc
}

and also Algorithms like A*.

Are these all free to use and is it all shared?

Thanks

about the move function, i learned it from EdMack...

and i think he's the one that created it; if i remember correctly there was a notice in his old open source file containing that function...

the first time i took it without changing a bit (but i always mentioned i took it from him) because i didn't understand it.
then, after some flash experiences, it was ok, and i adapted it with the needs of the projects ^^

The move function was mine, use it all you want, hack it up as much as you want, and learn as much as possible If you use it in a project without any real modifications just don't pretend you wrote it all (I'm not saying you would, just in general), it's fine to use other people's code.

Here's an example fla using it:

ok, thanks

That's a very cool function edmack.

I don't think that i'd use it for any of my projects though because i like to come up with my own code because otherwise i always get the feeling that i've cheated somehow. It was a great function to learn by though

Thanks guys

that is a good code,
is the code check for the four edge point of the player sprite?

because when i use it, my player will walk through something which is small. what i mean is something smaller than the player 's sprite
