What Are You Working On? - December 2014

[QUOTE=paul simon;46648741]Holy fuck, visiting this website just blew my headset with incredibly loud crackling noises. What the actual fuck man[/QUOTE]

Looks like it's a problem on your end. Is anyone else getting this?

I have absolutely no idea why it might have happened, but it did just as I loaded up that link.
Probably just a coincidence, but it set my volume to a bazillion and i could not change it before my computer was restarted. (By this i mean that every sound would be ear shatteringly loud noise instead of actual sound)

[QUOTE=Foxtrot200;46626609]So, a while ago, I wrote a [url="https://github.com/VerbalExpressions/"]Verbal Expressions[/url] implementation in Lua. I hadn't really used it for anything and thought I'd fix it up and [url="https://github.com/Apprehentice/vex"]put it on GitHub[/url] for others to use.Again, I haven't really used it, so it's probably buggy, but it's documented, so there's that. If you find a way to improve it, please do. I would love you long time.[/QUOTE] You wrecked it by using thisNotation (Lua should use thisnotation or this_notation).

Just finished making my bot for: [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.ponos.tokerukana&hl=en[/url]

Works good, finished the first puzzle I gave it in 14 steps, however, it does some stupid things sometimes, like worthless moves that dont do anything, only add more moves, so I am improving it now.

Todays puzzle answer in 18 steps, (I lost the 14 step solution)

Cool. What language?

Got the menu done for our Android game.

Looks good!, not really a fan of the font though.

I wanted results fast so I just did javascript.

I could match the language, maybe take some pointers from Penlight.
and yeah, that assert is, I guess, awkward :v:...

There, I fixed my shit.

[Ashleigh]

Much nicer :P

return add(self, "(?:" .. tostring(v) .. ")?")

and not

return self:add("(?:" .. tostring(v) .. ")?")

?Also,

return self:add(string.format("(?:%s)?", escape_regex(v))

Is quicker, and cleaner (string concatenation is slow).

[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;46652151]I'm curious as to what the number of votes you need is. Has it decreased in the past few months as I'm seeing lots of games being greenlit recently.[/QUOTE]

it definitely has

infra had 46k positive votes when it got greenlit like a year ago

now when i look at the stats page the top ranking games have anywhere between 3k and 10k votes

I can recommend it for having a place to have fun at.

I got bored and made a Snake clone in C#. Not the prettiest code, I know, but it works!

[Dilbert]

I wish C++ fstreams were a bit less ugly. I prefer the syntax of the more type-safe C# BinaryReader.

//Ugly C++ fstream
int Integer;
file.read ((char*)&Integer, 4);

//Much prettier C# BinaryReader
int Integer = reader.ReadInt32 ();

I made a short preview of my map editor.
It only shows basic stuff, nothing fancy (even though it all requires a shitton of code and GUI elements):

- multiple layers
- adding sprites
- changing textures
- scaling and resizing (vertex and line based)
- rotating
- delete, copy, cut, paste single or multiple sprites using a selection box
- paste preview
- moving sprites in front or behind each other
- moving sprites to a different layer
- parallax scrolling
- basic Box2D bodies

If you want to try it out you can find the link on my blog. I am slowly updating the manual as I release new builds.
Do note this has nothing to do with the Quake 2D source I released few weeks ago.

Why no camel case in Lua?

Why yes?

[proboardslol]

[QUOTE=Darwin226;46653350]Why yes?[/QUOTE]

Because capital letters make things easier to read when there's multiple words in an identifier.

thisisanobjectthatdoesathing

is harder to read than

thisIsAnObjectThatDoesAThing

[adnzzzzZ]

likeThis for methods
LikeThis for module/class names
like_this for variables

If you do it any other way then you're a pleb

variables with underscores in the middle? fuck that.

[Ashleigh]

If you have a function that long, then you're doing something wrong.

If you're really *that* desperate: this_is_an_object_that_does_a_thing.

It's just, camelcase is so 'off-balance' to my eyes, I literally can't use any API that uses it. Seriously, if you're going to capitalize any of them, capitalize them all.

Don't you think thats a bit too much?
Just because the creator felt different with this particular design shouldn't avoid you from using it :v:

And by capitalizing all, you couldn't differentiate between Methods and Variables (At least in c#)

[Ashleigh]

But you shouldn't need to. Do you still name your vars along the lines of flName/dblName/strName?

Speaking of, C#'s obsession with Pascal Case is a bit weird for me, coming from Java.

[QUOTE=alien_guy;46653790]variables with underscores in the middle? fuck that.[/QUOTE]

Convince me why that's a bad thing using logic and reason.

[hugg]

[QUOTE=adnzzzzZ;46654138]Convince me why that's a bad thing using logic and reason.[/QUOTE]

it's subjective (opinion)

there you go

[ECrownofFire]

For variables in Erlang, PascalCase is objectively better than snake_case or camelCase because the latter two give you syntax errors :v:
