Hi, ive been coding for past 6 months and i have a questions;

- i dont know how how or if its possible to “color” certain parts of code. Like rect touching part of code is completley unrecognisable between X check and Y check and a lot of sub checks

so it will be like:

```auto
clr 1if(<Stuff1>) {
  <code>
  if(<Stuff1.1>) {
    <code>
  }
}...

```

offtopic:

- how can u raycast in 3D
- is it ok for 2D raycasting if i want it to be able to bounce on walls if given angle:

```auto
xSpeed = (x - mouseX) / dist(mouseX,mouseY,x,y);
//same for Y

x += xSpeed
y += ySpeed

```

I have edited your posts to make them more understandable by highlighting the code parts and using the \</\> button in the forum editor. This surrounds the code with three ` marks, formatting the code with basic syntax highlighting.
