I'm looking through some encyption code kindly supplied by BatVink a while back and can see there's a "~~" in the code (SetMemblockByte(mbMain, n-40,GetMemblockByte(mb, n) ~~ val(mid(cCODE,codeCounter,1)))

What does ~~ mean?!?

I'm not sure why, but I remember something about that turning a FLOAT into an INT.

~~ is the bitwise XOR operator. You can read about bitwise operators at the bottom of this page: https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/principles/2_operators.htm

Super useful for toggle switches.

Instead of:
+ Code Snippet
   If XXX = 0 Then XXX = 1 Else XXX = 0


use:
+ Code Snippet
XXX = XXX ~~ 1
