No, it wouldn't. Do you know what the Matrix code really is? It's backwards Katakana characters (Japanese alphabet). This does not look like Kanji (Japanese and Chinese alphabet) in the slightest.
That's ignorance at its best.

On my behalf? How so? :confused:

I think he was referring to the fact that SagaLore was making a joke and you corrected him on it. The point of his post wasn't about the finer details of Matrix code.

Oh, I thought it was common knowledge that the code was Japanese. I guess it's more esoteric than I thought

That's why all variables should be x, y, and z. If you need more, just start putting numbers after them like x1, x2, y1, y2...

And comments should be abolished.


Problem solved.
