What are you working on? v15

[Geel]

[QUOTE=ZenX2;27928350]Most of my team is new, all but two members of last year's team graduated. The other programmers are beginners, so all I had to do is tell them it's easier and more powerful. We're using a type of six-wheel drive, which lets us drive on four wheels at a time, then spin on two wheels with almost no trouble. We don't have much to our minibot but three wheels that snap around the pole. As for my team number, I'm paranoid about my identity on the internet. I'm located in California, did pretty well in the Cal Games, too. The team Grant Immahara was on is pretty cool.[/QUOTE]

Did you go to Pittsburgh? I was there. We're team 1317. We did awfully last year, because our robot just stopped responding. (Read: FIRST's hardware is shit, their routers are shit, everything they make is shit. Agreed?)

I refused to work with LabVIEW, there's a program called RobotC that I was using, it's similar to C but contains certain functions that work with an NXT brick... It's not too bad

Nice. Has anyone played the indie game [url=http://a3p.sourceforge.net/]A3P[/url] (Acquire, Attack, Asplode, PWN(Awful name I know))? Evan Todd, the guy that made it, was a team member last year and is a mentor this year. He's a pretty awesome guy.

He's also working on Parkour Ninja, a game where you can create the shit you're jumping off of at will.

No, I'm south bay. And I agree about the hardware, our router died at the beginning of the last match of the Cal Games, and they decided to let it go even though it was their problem, because they were short on time.

We had to go through two weeks of shit just to get the robot to connect to everything.

Well, I'm headed for the Silicon Valley Regional. We've got a blue haired guy from NASA as our announcer :smug:

Nice. I must say, this year's competition has really stepped it up from last year's. The minibot mechanic is an awesome twist. I still have no idea how we're programming our minibot...probably just going to use mechanical switches.

I crash at the end due to infinite recursion I think, I remember testing that exact situation and having no problems though.

He's great, got to talk to him a bit last year during the Hawaii competition. He's really helpful, our team drove him to his hotel and he had dinner with us. He's a bro.

I've been reading a lot of troll science lately...

Troll programming:

if (!(!(!(!(!(false == true))))))
{
    //do stuff
}

[/QUOTE]

In most languages, that would probably be optimized out

[QUOTE=Kylegar;27929407]In most languages, that would probably be optimized out[/QUOTE]

It's still pretty bad as far as readability goes.

[robmaister12]

[QUOTE=SamPerson123;27929442]It's still pretty bad as far as readability goes.[/QUOTE]

hence the point of it being "troll programming"

I actually don't know where the line is drawn between bad code and troll code...

My lovely HP laptop is trying to imitate a jetmotor.

I was currently learning SFML, when I decided to dick around with some values.

I know this is just beginner stuff, but I think it looks decently funny.

Geel, seriously, what the fuck?

You had a big conversation in the last thread and the only person who rated you dumb was deloc, and that's because he's an arse and the thread is better off without him.

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RUIN IT BY POSTING THIS GODAMN STUPID IMAGE?!

It was a joke pertaining to the "rated artistic as I have no idea what's going on" comment. I added the bit about me as a joke.

But we've seen it; you were rate dumb for it. Surely that's a sign you should drop the joke and move on?

[Dlaor-guy]

So, what are you guys working on again?

I'm working on a world-map thing that counts the world population based on old data.
I just made my first functional class (with nothing but reference!) :holy:

If anyone would mind going over my code to tell me anything I can improve/something I've done wrong, I would be grateful.

A link to the code would probably be useful for anyone wanting to check it out.
On a side note, I've improved my PyUpdater project and it now has support for uninstalling projects. I implemented the simplest solution of all: A list of packages installed seperated by "\n" :v:
I'll probably find a better way sometime.

I wanted to rate you both funny, agree and winner but it won't let me.

Rest assured, you are all three.
