400 lines of code GONE!!!

400 lines? eh, that's nothing.

I once went to a store and bought an external drive so I could backup all the code I have created. And I had alot, since I've been coding many many things since I was at least 8 years old. So I copy everything over and delete it on my main hard drive to save space. Guess what happened? Click of death. I had lost every single script, code, program, everything that I had made since I was 8. At the time I was 16. I couldn't believe it, it was so much of my time down the drain.

grave dig much

Never ever had it happen to me

And i rarely save backups as-well

lol kinda grave dig but hey i can sympathize with the TC here.

only i didnt exactly lose the 500+ lines of coding but rather 300+ of it went obsolete when RS updated right after i finished the script.

SOooo... yeah it stinks...

In a different module: (meaning running off of a different .exe; an outdated version of SCAR works fine for this)

program New;
var
  i: Integer;

procedure SaveC;
begin
  keydown(17); //Ctrl key
  keydown(GetKeyCode('s')); //Ctrl+S
  wait(20);
  keyup(17);
end;

begin
repeat
  for i:=0 to 6000 do
  begin
    wait(100);
    if(IsFKeyDown(11) and IsFKeyDown(12))then
      Exit;
  end;
  SaveC;
until(false);
end.

Autosaves once every 10 minutes, and stops when you press F11 and F12 at the same time.

Works well for me; I get too caught up to remember to save at times. XD

how would that kill a pc? ^^

saves once every 10 minutes... (right? ) actually, that could still make me lose 500 lines of code, (IF I were making a form) but yeah...

100MS waits? No.

You could make it 600 of 1000MS waits to stress the CPU even less, or just have it wait 600,000ms and stop it manually. :P

I run this and notice absolutely no change in my computer; the CPU usage doesn't spike either. :P

My desktop only runs at 2.66GHz...
