// // 99 bottles of beer // Builder version // Mickaël Pointier - November 2005 // // Builder is a proprietary scripting language developped by Eden Games // http://www.eden-games.com/ // // Since this language lacks of two important features (subroutines and arrays) // I had to devise a way to avoid repeting some code... the result is not // pretty but by Builder's scripting standard it is quite ok :) // // The 'Speak' instruction uses the built-in windows speach API.
