How the **** do you clear the terminal in C#?! System("cls"); works fine in C++ but not in C# :(

[Darwin226]

Console.Clear();

WOW!
How the **** did I figure that out.

And the conclusion: It's decently random.[/QUOTE]

Whilst this seems a pretty good indication heuristically, it doesn't actually say that much about how random it is.

I mean if it were going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 [Random number]. You'd expect to see pretty similar results. I know I'm being anal about this, but measuring randomness is a pretty interesting problem if you think about it!

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diehard_tests[/url] is one set of tests they use.

The whole area of pseudo randomness is pretty fascinating: the best/most frequently used algorithm (the Mersenne twister) was only invented in 1997.

It's the programming language I'm writing the game in. It's called BlitzMax if you want to read up more about it. I find it's far easier to do the same tasks in this than C++ or any other language I've tried. The downside is it costs money.[/QUOTE]
Oh god, that (Blitz2D to be exact) was the first programming language I ever learnt. I never touched it again after I learned Java though.. THANK GOD!

You're most likely right, I have little clue.
I mostly did this because I wanted to practice multithreading, so the loop runs on a separate thread.

Yeah the older versions are horrific.. Max is totally different though (in SuperStrict mode it even makes you code properly and runs like 4x as fast lol). It cross-compiles with C/C++/ASM code and all sorts. The code is kinda awful to look at but doesn't really leave much room for ambiguity so it's easy to understand when coming back to it at least. You get proper access to the built in libraries too (you can recompile them yourself etc) as well as the underlying opengl/directx code. Even the compiler (which someone's done a cool version of that cross-compiles for you).

I've decided to take a look at my build system again. This time around, I'm taking a different approach, and looking into writing it in C, with Lua configuration files.

Although, I'm regretting it a bit, since I am not as familiar with Lua, as say, Python. With Python, it's not too hard for me to get an idea of how the configuration script should look. With Lua, I have absolutely no idea.

For instance, I can do this:

project = bit.project('project-name') -- Registers the project with the internal dispatcher. Like `with` in the Python version.
project.type = bit.framework -- Results in a shared library on non darwin platforms
project.files = { bit.os:glob('source/shared/*.c'), bit.os:glob('source/' .. bit.platform .. '/*.c') }
project.library = { 'OpenGL', 'X11' }
project.cflags = { '-std=c89 -Wall -Wextra' }
project.data = { bit.os:glob('data') } -- content pipeline stuff
-- And so on and so forth

Or I can do

project = bit.project:new('name', 'different', 'types', 'of', 'additional', 'targets')
project.debug = project.types -- Does Lua even pass by reference like in python? This is how lost I am :/
project.debug.flags = { '-std=c89' }
-- And so on and so forth

This is the only problem I'm getting with the rewrite. So far I have a basic unix-like daemon running in the background, and when a change is detected in the directory (the type of event depends on the OS. Linux and Windows will have the best performance, simply due to the lack of stat() and hash checks I'll be doing), the dependency tree is checked, and the project is built immediately. You can then access your most recent build with a `bit status` or `bit log` command (I'm unsure if this is how the commands will remain).

What I may do instead is write the daemon in C, with a Python client that simply sends it the data, and when you change the script, either the daemon runs it, and reloads it, or you'll need to run a manual `bit update`. (Why yes, I am taking inspiration from git's cl interface :v:)

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them, as I'm basically futzing around trying to figure out what I want to do :[

Still fiddling with this.

I noticed that amnesia(and minecraft) would disable aero if i removed the border and the resolution was the same as windows resolution, thus having the computer lag like fuck for a few seconds everytime you alt tabbed.

So i made a feature to disable/enable aero manually. Also added a changelog and changed some design issues.

The design is still a bit rough.

I don't particularly care what content you post, as I post fuck all these days (most of the stuff I do is for uni, so quite boring, although I can produce quite a nice game of life gif, if anyone wants to see it), I just find anyone who hates any particularly language without justification very tedious.

I don't think I can name one specific language which has no merits whatsoever, and Java is by no means a bad language.

Thanks deloc. I was looking for some way to generate mazes for my roguelike. First link:

[QUOTE=SamPerson123;27909194]Now my maze generator can make mazes as big as an int. I ended up moving the switch statement outside of the other switch because I realized I needed to compare it to something else. It's a bit nicer now, but I'm sure there's a cleaner way to do it.

    public void depthFirstGen(int X, int Y){
        ArrayList<Integer> options;
        int rand;
        boolean finished = false;
        while(!finished){
            options = new ArrayList<Integer>();
            maze[X][Y][0] = true;
            if(X>0 && !maze[X-1][Y][0]){options.add(1);}
            if(X<xSize-1 && !maze[X+1][Y][0]){options.add(2);}
            if(Y>0 && !maze[X][Y-1][0]){options.add(3);}
            if(Y<ySize-1 && !maze[X][Y+1][0]){options.add(4);}
            if(options.size()>0){
                rand = (int)(Math.random()*options.size());
                switch(options.get(rand)){
                    case 1: maze[X][Y][1] = true; X--; dir[X][Y] = 2; break;
                    case 2: maze[X+1][Y][1] = true; X++; dir[X][Y] = 1; break;
                    case 3: maze[X][Y][2] = true; Y--; dir[X][Y] = 4; break;
                    case 4: maze[X][Y+1][2] = true; Y++; dir[X][Y] = 3; break;
                }
            }else{
                switch(dir[X][Y]){
                    case 1: X--; break;
                    case 2: X++; break;
                    case 3: Y--; break;
                    case 4: Y++; break;
                    default: finished = true; break;
                }
            }

This can do a 500x500 cell maze in half a second.

Got it down to .25 seconds by using the clear function instead of making a new ArrayList each time.[/QUOTE]
