[QUOTE=amcfaggot;33771505]I reformatted because I accidentally adjusted the left-hand side of the explorer window and I couldn't revert it to how it normally was when you first install Windows.[/QUOTE]

I've reinstalled Windows for smaller things. :v:

Not really any reason not to.

progress on LD22

just need to figure out audio, then I can go ahead and construct the village, add an inventory to the player, and make some sort of book/letter interface and write some small stories, and I'll have 80% of the game complete.

Hopefully I can do that all today, and tomorrow I'll add a better main menu (right now it's just the title and "press any key to start" on a black background), polish things, and add some endgame animation/win screen.

[QUOTE=neos300;33770961]So I needed a custom 'Key' identifier for my roguelike (one of the cool features is the ability to switch from SFML tiles to PDCurses with one line of code) so I decided to be lazy and have it represented by a string. However, I now have to write code to convert sf::Keyboard::Key's to a string.

Looks like I'm doomed to a large if chain, see you in 10 hours.[/QUOTE]

I don't know if I might be missing something here, but what about taking key input into a char and appending that char to the end of your string?

then again a key is only a single char which you can use in switch

They take, what, 10 minutes to install? Installing windows itself requires slightly more effort.

My driver disk is horrible and includes drivers that you don't even need.

[BlkDucky]

[QUOTE=Darwin226;33772302]What about all the other junk you need?

Visual studio is the only thing you need to install manually. And admittedly takes ages.
Otherwise: ninite.com

Everything else you should already have installed on a second partition. Games and whatever, so you don't lose them whenever you reinstall.

[QUOTE=supersnail11;33772308]My driver disk is horrible and includes drivers that you don't even need.[/QUOTE]

Why are you installing drivers from disk? They're generally outdated compared to the ones from the manufacturers websites. I don't even have a working disk drive anymore.

[Kamshak]

reinstalling is really fast i just always find something that i forgot to backup :/
all the logins that are scattered somewhere around my pc, some documents, lots of smaller code things i have a look at every now and then, save games etc.
i try to avoid reinstalling as much as possible and try to keep my pc somewhat clean

[pollyzoid]

Next time I need to reformat I'm taking a disk image of the clean installation and storing that, then restoring it whenever I need a clean Windows again :v:

That's only a problem if you're saving that stuff to the same partition you installed the OS to, though. Or if games save to the Saved Games folder or something by default.

Now I have to make up for lost time by rushing the art...

Yeah, that force option lets you toggle a block without changing any of its neighbors.
The click counter resets by shuffling or clearing, the adv/hide toggles showing the currently lacking advanced options.
Thinking about adding sound and option to toggle it, perhaps.
Also to change to blocks color.
