I think you really start to become efficient with a language when you know enough to realize when the thing you're trying to accomplish is functionally impossible to accomplish the way you'd like to accomplish it.

For instance, java static inheritance (or lack thereof). I've made my peace with it, and now I no longer waste time trying to do something elegant when it comes down to this feature. V:v:v

I thought this would be the point where you realised you lack proper understanding? :v:
Though with c++, you can always do everything. The same might not be true of java
I was working on isometric hard coded ambient occlusion. I got bored and it's half finished now.

Really? Make my class inherit from 2 other separate classes.
You can't.
That's what he is trying to say.

Or are you talking about Java

That's multiple inheritance, which java also doesn't support. Although I don't run into that limitation often.
Ever get that thing where you write some really dodgy code, convincing yourself that you'll come back and fix it once you prove that it's working, except you don't, you just keep piling on dodgy code upon dodgy code, until eventually you're in so deep you don't see any way of fixing it, except starting from scratch?

No, I always write perfect code... the first time!

also, switched to hashlib because the md5 module was deprecated

I almost have an episode if I don't have neat consistent code. This of course causes me to rewrite everything I've done from scratch many, many, many times.

Also, XNA Gui libraries are poop. Time to write my own, that doesn't use poop XML to make skins.

Should've been "You're turn" just to piss everyone off.
Well it seems Garry won: [url]http://twitter.com/#!/notch/statuses/59722401155514368[/url]
What, seriously? Notch is a fucking rich man, he could've easily donated more than that.
[editline]17th April 2011[/editline]
Also, this kinda is like comparing dick sizes.
Indeed. I worked it out earlier, in the last 24 hours he's made: 258 143.848 U.S. dollars and he's donated... 4 000.
Edit: And 2 cents.
:v:

I'm sorry. I thought C++ didn't have multiple inheritance so I tried to use it as an example of what design-wise things you simply can't do.
The problemacy of multiple inheritance mostly starts appearing when multiple classes inherit the same class and you try to use a method of this grandparent.
I assume notch didn't want to come off as a ass throwing his money around.

giving his money to charity*
[QUOTE=RyanDv3;29252118]I assume notch didn't want to come off as a ass throwing his money around.[/QUOTE]
Then he's an idiot. No-one's going to think that if he's donating to indie developers and charities.
While I'm in a C mood, can anyone link me to that PSP toolchain thing? I cant't seem to find it, and while I have some spare time in the holidays I have a couple of old PSP projects that weren't really feasible in Lua that I'd like to revisit :)
[QUOTE=Moustach3;29252143]giving his money to charity*[/QUOTE]
Yeah well it's not exactly charity, even if they were giving all of it to the charity, that was never made explicit.
Thing is, if he had gone up to $6000, he'd be basically turning the whole thing into some dumbass competition, and diminish garry's contribution.
A couple interchanges is all in good fun, anything more looks like showboating.
Got a Love Film account the other day (14 day free trial) with unlimited streaming... Ruined my coding efficiency.

Here's the [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/minpspw/files/]MinPSP SDK[/url], which AFAIK is the only one being actively developed and updated. (and even that's a stretch :/)
It'd be way better if he donated one cent more with the message "you win"

Every single one of my projects so far :saddowns:

Be sure to cancel that a few days before it runs out. My friend got caught by it, went to cancel the account on the last day of the trial and they said he couldn't as they had already sent out the next dvd. The guy on the phone even admitted that they do this on purpose to catch people out and lowered him to the £10/m one.
