What are you working on? V10

[iPope]

Thanks to the person that clarified the stuff for division in RPN, you have to do it for subtraction as well. I have functions working now. This is fun!

Input : 9.7 ceil
Answer: 10.0

I've been working on a steam bot using OSW and Lua, mostly just to learn scripting and integrating.

The Magic 8-Ball plugin:
[lua]local PLUGIN = CreatePlugin("Magic 8-Ball", "Lets people play with a Magic 8-Ball")

PLUGIN.Responses = {
"As I see it, yes", "It is certain", "It is decidedly so",
"Most likely", "Outlook good", "Signs point to yes",
"Without a doubt", "Yes", "Yes - definitely", "You may rely on it",
"Reply hazy, try again", "Ask again later", "Better not tell you now",
"Cannot predict now", "Concentrate and ask again", "Don't count on it",
"My reply is no", "My sources say no", "Outlook not so good", "Very doubtful"
}

PLUGIN.Hooks = {
OnGroupMessageRecieved = "GMessageRecieved",
OnFriendMessageRecieved = "MessageRecieved",
OnGroupMessageSent = "GMessageSent",
OnFriendMessageSent = "MessageRecieved"
}

function PLUGIN.MessageRecieved(sender, chatid, msgtype, message)
response = PLUGIN.CheckMessage(msgtype,message)

if response == nil then return end

Steam.SendChatMessage(sender,1,"The Magic 8-Ball says: " .. response .. "!")
end

function PLUGIN.GMessageRecieved(sender, reciever, chatid, msgtype, message)
response = PLUGIN.CheckMessage(msgtype,message)

if response == nil then return end

Steam.SendGroupMessage(reciever,1,"The Magic 8-Ball says: " .. response .. "!")
end

function PLUGIN.GMessageSent(reciever, chatid, msgtype, message)
response = PLUGIN.CheckMessage(msgtype,message)

if response == nil then return end

Steam.SendGroupMessage(reciever,1,"The Magic 8-Ball says: " .. response .. "!")
end

function PLUGIN.CheckMessage(msgtype, message)
if msgtype == "ChatMsg" then
if string.find(string.lower(message),"8-ball:") then
if string.find(message,"?") then
response = PLUGIN.Responses[math.random(#PLUGIN.Responses)]
return response
end
end
end
return nil
end

Yeah I remember something like that, but it's undefined, so for the sake of forward compatibility it should be escaped. It's probably because it's not preceded by a character class.

Lua patterns are actually pretty light-weight compared to regular expressions, you should really look into them, they're more sane than they first appear :v:

I just started learning how to write a boot loader and the compiled result is surprisingly simple:

However, when compiling for Windows what's all the extra stuff that's always there? Instructions for Windows how to load your application?

The headers contain a lot of metadata about the program. While a flat code file (usually .bin) contains pure code, formats like PE32 and ELF contain entire programs.

Data is separate from code, in both read-only and read-write sections. Other sections also exist, like a section for relocation data; code usually contains relative memory addresses, which are converted to virtual memory addresses at load-time, after the process has been allocated and placed in memory.

The PE32 headers also contains a section for embedded resources, and a small header at the very start including a code snippet to make it compatible with the old MZ (also .exe) format. If you run a modern PE32 executable under MS-DOS, the aforementioned code snippet is run. Linkers usually just have it print a message like "This program can not run in DOS mode", or similar.

The headers also include information about the code itself, like whether or not it's 64-bit, and where the entry point is, and whether it's a console application, windows GUI executable, or DLL.

If you want to know more about it, the MSDN documentation is pretty good, and there exists less specific documentation explaining the structure as a whole.

You should probably put grid lines in between the letters.

I guess that comes with the gui though.

Porting the whole of my RPG into C# because my language was too goddamn slow at level generation. I can use Lua in C#, which will be much faster and obviously has more functionality than my language.

Done resource loading, and was able to make it much more swish due to how I can actually use generics in C# where AS3 only has fake ones for the Vector class. Working on UI now, and got a UIFrame class drawing with any size and border style :3:

Good work! As an extension to improve you C++ skills you could try using arrays and structs, where you have a Question struct containing each question and possible answers etc., then store all the questions in an array of Question structs and loop through them instead of having a separate function for each one.

Thanks! I might actually use those tutorials for a new project. I just started working on a D&D type Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game. The arrays and structs might help me a lot!

[editline]06:01PM[/editline]

I'm not sure how I would use them to combine adventures, though. Cause I want branching paths, and having them all in functions would be a pain in the ass to keep track of...

[Darwin226]

Arrays aren't exactly something that could help you with something. They are an extremely important part of any language. Loops too.
You should learn to use them any way.

[Jawalt]

Wait wait wait Robert64 you wrote an interpreter in an interpreted language that's already pretty slow :V? Also I bet if you rewrote your language in C# even you'd see significant speed increase.

[nullsquared]

Added 3D boolean (inequality) plotting:
[img]http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/2058/3dboolplot1.png[/img]
I don't think too many graphers support this.

[Jawalt]

How'd you do that? Just render a grid of points in the area? It looks neat, like connecting wires.

[nullsquared]

Yeah. Inequalities in 3D give you volumes of space, and 3D volumes are incredibly hard to represent. For a non-graphics-intensive application like my grapher, a simple grid of points works well enough.

I'm not too good at explaining it, but basically linear programming.

No, you can't. Though I still don't fully understand how exactly that would help, considering you could always just consider the whole numbers if that's what you're looking for.
