More progress! I was stuck with Lua instantly running through the script, thereby giving the player no chance to respond. Completely stuck, I went to the Lua IRC channel and someone pointed me to Lua coroutines. After some work, voila:

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;29341705]Mass Effect 2 References[/QUOTE]

Speaking of Harbinger, here's a neat "singleton" python class. (This is taken directly from my build system. It's been there since version 0.2.)

# I'm Command Shephard, and this is my favorite module in bit
class Harbinger(object):
  __shared_state = { }
  def __init__(self): self.__dict__ = self.__shared_state

It's use is actually quite simple. Whenever you subclass from Harbinger, you can instantiate the class as many times as you like from anywhere, and you don't lose the data contained within (unless you re-initialize it. But it's as simple as not placing a data member in __init__). So, this class is used as the parent for the Workspace class. The workspace contains all the projects, settings, file database locations, etc. Now, this would be a huge pain in the ass to constantly pass to each project. So instead of having a global variable that is constantly imported, I just import the module, then instantiate the Workspace when I need it, and then access whatever I need.

Also, I tend to do this whenever I instantiate it.

def func():
  workspace = Workspace() # Assuming Direct Control

[QUOTE=simie;29338621]Does the objective c part of clang work with this?[/QUOTE]

Little of Column A, Little of Column B. Objective-C is effectively syntactic sugar over C, with calls made into the ObjC runtime. Clang has a neat little commandline argument called "-rewrite-objc". So given the following ObjC file:

[cpp]
#import <objc/objc-runtime.h> // Note the include
#import <stdio.h>

@interface Hello { }
+ (void)initialize;
+ (void)sayHello;
@end

@implementation Hello

+ (void)initialize { }
+ (void)sayHello { printf("Hello, World!\n"); }

@end

int main() {
[Hello sayHello];
return 0;
}
[/cpp]

It produces the following C++ file

Ugly as hell right? (This is also what gcc and clang do when they compile ObjC, except they convert it to C, not C++). It doesn't solve the issue of needing an ObjC runtime (nor does it truly take clang blocks into account). It apparently isn't too hard to implement, though there are a million optimizations a simple implementation could do. Etoile and GNUStep each have an ObjC runtime, as does gcc. All you truly need, IIRC, is an <objc/Object.h> file, and the runtime to be linked.

This still doesn't solve the issue of not getting Cocoa, Foundation, or the other countless types that make ObjC worth using in any capacity.

However, Apple provides the ObjC runtime HERE: [url]http://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/objc4/[/url]
This is not guaranteed to build on non-darwin OS's, but there is code in there for them. (How else could they port iTunes and Safari to windows? :v:)

[editline]21st April 2011[/editline]

Damn, now I'm tempted to try to get the runtime working on windows :P

At the expense of resolution and quality, my Mandelbrot renderer runs at (kind of) real time.
