    slackerSnailrip you
    offtopic
    08:58
    slackerSnailI use a 13 13 sequence so it's very unlikely that they'll show up in real text but if they do
    offtopic
    08:58
    12Me21press escape lumage
    offtopic
    08:58
    slackerSnailI need to figure out how to escape the delimiters
    offtopic
    08:58
    12Me21I really should make a random terrain generator, but I'm scared...
    offtopic
    08:57
    slackerSnailso you'll probably end up breaking something
    offtopic
    08:57
    slackerSnailAlso because tostring exists you can technically store a struct inside a struct but parse has no delimiter safety
    offtopic
    08:57
    12Me21use KEYs to display messages
    offtopic
    08:56
    slackerSnailif something breaks I won't know unless I brutally test
    offtopic
    08:56
    slackerSnailthe only problem is that SB has no errors so everything in my struct lib fails silently upon error
    offtopic
    08:55
    12Me21ok some 4 letter names this generation: NOO,MF,IL,HL,TH,NIS,GHAL,OI,EAL,CHOF
    offtopic
    08:55
    12Me21*2-3
    offtopic
    08:54
    12Me21ugh
    offtopic
    08:54
    12Me21for some reason though all the creatures have names that are 2-4 characters, after a few generations
    offtopic
    08:54
    12Me21(weighted as in, T is more common than X)
    offtopic
    08:54
    LacksAgencyWhat if you preloaded it with combos and then combined them?
    offtopic
    08:53
    12Me21and it uses a weighted random letter generator which vastly improves the results
    offtopic
    08:53
    12Me21the one I use just tries (but not very hard) to prevent more than 2 vowels or consonants being in a row
    offtopic
    08:53
    slackerSnailEven though you get names like Xoqekeba
    offtopic
    08:52
    slackerSnailit's a really common method because it's remotely pronounceable
    offtopic
    08:52
    slackerSnailBasically lacks the name generator is just random letter+vowel lairs
    offtopic
    08:51
    12Me21oops I mean 2 1 0
    offtopic
    08:51
    12Me21lol
    offtopic
    08:51
    slackerSnailI hate c++ now lol
    offtopic
    08:51
    12Me21it formats BEEP 0,1,2 as probably arg:0 arg:1 arg:2 command:BEEP args:3
    offtopic
    08:51
    slackerSnailThere's a portion of a c++ chip8 I tried to write in there somewhere
    offtopic
    08:50
    12Me21that's interesting

    LacksAgencyI want to make DM tools on sb lol but that is such a niche usage I might as well use the pre existing ones on my smartphone
    offtopic
    08:48
    LacksAgency>_> how are you guys generating names? D&d has a decently reliable method of getting pronounceable name
    offtopic
    08:48
    12Me21all your pastes are just named like "AAAAAGGGHHHHHHHH" so it's hard to find stuff
    offtopic
    08:48
    slackerSnailThe one EVERYONE uses
    offtopic
    08:48
    slackerSnailit's just a clone of another name generator
    offtopic
    08:47
    slackerSnailI wouldn't have cared
    offtopic
    08:47
    12Me21oh the really short one?

    08:47
    12Me21no
    offtopic
    08:47
    slackerSnaildid you just steal my name generator
    offtopic
    08:47
    12Me21have*
    offtopic
    08:46
    12Me21their name has no effect on their survival so IDK why this is happening
    offtopic
    08:46
    12Me21I'm using a name generator that makes names that are actually pronounceable (sometimes) and they should have random lengths between 3 and 10
    offtopic
    08:45
    12Me21for some reason all the creatures evolve to have very short names now
    offtopic
    08:45
    12Me21oh well
    offtopic
    08:45
    slackerSnailI probably just forgot a parens somewhere
    offtopic
    08:45
    slackerSnailI tried to calculate the length at first but I kept getting type mismatch and gave up
    offtopic
    08:44
    12Me21(spin)
    offtopic
    08:44
    module12Me21 skillfully dodges the question
    offtopic
    08:44
    slackerSnailthe number of characters argument to the mid is just 2³¹-1 so it's always guaranteed to extract the files string
    offtopic
    08:44
    12Me21haha nice
    offtopic
    08:43
    slackerSnailI abuse MID$'s range safety to return a string field lol
    offtopic
    08:43
    slackerSnailI forget
    offtopic
    08:42
    slackerSnailOh were you
    offtopic
    08:42
    12Me21at that point I was already only power user (which is a mostly useless rank anyway)
    offtopic
    08:42
    slackerSnailbad admin, I know
    offtopic
    08:42
    LacksAgencyI hope that wasn't because of me going full retard....
    offtopic
    08:42
    slackerSnailhe didn't use it so I took it away

    08:41
    LacksAgencyWhatever happened to your chat mod Priceline?
    offtopic
    08:40
    12Me21>>12Me21
    Value would make a much better Head Admin
    offtopic
    08:40
    slackerSnailso they work as complex save data objects too
    offtopic
    08:40
    slackerSnailand you can export them to a parseable string

    08:39
    LacksAgencyOr we could have a quarantine area of the forums which is the only place they would be allowed to post. Thus allowing us to watch them like animals in a zoo
    offtopic
    08:39
    slackerSnailit's basically a set of key value lairs
    offtopic
    08:39
    slackerSnailI can vouch for structs as save data
    offtopic
    08:39
    12Me21lol
    offtopic
    08:39
    12Me21how about Value

    08:39
    12Me21>Which person should be the head admin?
    offtopic
    08:38
    12Me21yes please

    12Me21That's acceptable; I won't be using it for my evolution simulator (at least not inside the simulation) but I might use it for something else, maybe
    offtopic
    08:36
    slackerSnailI made sure it was fast enough lol
    offtopic
    08:35
    slackerSnailyou can set and read fields like 7500 times per second
    offtopic
    08:35
    slackerSnailI tested and a struct with one field, you can declare like 70 of them inside one frame
    offtopic
    08:34
    12Me21I wish we could ignore people on the site... *cough*megamario1243*cough*
    offtopic
    08:34
    slackerSnailI guess SET could work
    offtopic
    08:34
    slackerSnailat least FIELD(STRUCT,"FIELD") works
    offtopic
    08:34
    12Me21S STRUCT,"FIELD",VALUE

    offtopic

    12Me21name the command _ lol
    offtopic
    08:32
    slackerSnailotherwise I'm very satisfied
    offtopic
    08:32
    slackerSnailthe one thing I don't like is that setting fields has to be done with SETFIELD
    offtopic
    08:31
    12Me21I'll definitely try it, but motivating myself to use it could be difficult

    08:24
    LacksAgencyIs that why it was so spastic sometimes?
    offtopic
    08:24
    slackerSnailStructs will be SOOO much better for this

    08:23
    slackerSnailThinking I'll just rewrite my entire befunge Interpreter

    offtopic
    08:23
    12Me21so V2 was never set

    12Me21V1=(get right color)
    offtopic
    08:23
    12Me21V1=(get left color)
    offtopic
    08:23
    12Me21and I made a typo, something like
    offtopic
    08:22
    12Me21the bottom 3 were for vision on the left (I think) side
    offtopic
    08:22
    12Me21well at that point it could see all colors, it had separate R, G, and B nodes
    offtopic
    08:21
    LacksAgencyThose are the g -r and b nodes?
    offtopic
    08:21
    12Me21that was a bug
    offtopic
    08:21
    12Me21see how they don't change?
    offtopic
    08:21
    12Me21look at the bottom 3 nodes in the left column

    08:20
    LacksAgencyNice!

    08:20
    12Me21yeah
    offtopic
    08:20
    LacksAgencySo it's basically looking for food and to not get hurt?
    offtopic
    08:20
    12Me21I made a video yesterday that I forgot to give the link to
    offtopic
    08:19
    12Me21so the G-R channel is to detect food, and the Blue channel detects danger, since the only dangerous stuff is water
    offtopic
    08:18
    LacksAgencyI think it will be fun to make some cells that can complete a little maze, breed with the successful cells and then complete the maze faster!
    offtopic
    08:18
    12Me21red -> -255
    offtopic

    offtopic
    08:17
    slackerSnailGreen minus red? How so
    offtopic
    08:17
    12Me21since the amount of food it gets from a space is equal to G-R anyway
    offtopic
    08:17
    LacksAgencyCool!
    offtopic
    08:17
    12Me21I made it only able to see 2 color channels: Green minus Red, and Blue
    offtopic
    08:16
    12Me21I've reduced it to 7, and added another output
    offtopic
    08:16
    12Me21I'm trying to reduce the number of input nodes... before, there were 10 input nodes, but only 3 of the outputs were used
    offtopic
    08:16
    slackerSnailAnd work some math to figure out how many bits go where
    offtopic
    08:16
    slackerSnailIf I'm working with bitsets I write a lot of bitset diagrams
    offtopic
    08:15
    12Me21good
    offtopic
    08:15
    LacksAgencyHow is your evolution game coming along?
    offtopic
    08:15
    12Me21Sometimes I just type notes, but it's so much easier to write stuff, since most of it is pictures
    offtopic
    08:14
    slackerSnailbut I don't notate too much of interest
    offtopic
    08:14
    slackerSnailsometimes I type something into a text document
    offtopic
    08:14
    LacksAgencyIt would be kinda cool to see your notes after you release something
    offtopic
    08:14
    slackerSnailI basically think a lot
    offtopic
    08:13
    12Me21If I'm working on something difficult
    offtopic
    08:13
    12Me21usually not at the start, but yeah
    offtopic
    08:12
    LacksAgencyDo you guys do any "pen and paper" planning before you whip out these miracle codes?

    slackerSnailand yeah, it's ready for release 12me
    offtopic
    08:07
    slackerSnailfield lookup is a binary search so they're sorted alphabetically
    offtopic
    08:06
    slackerSnailYeah I actually use that to make my structs more efficient
    offtopic
    08:06
    12Me21If you're still working on BWT: remember that you can use SORT on a string array
    offtopic
    08:06
    slackerSnailor save them to a text file
    offtopic
    08:06
    slackerSnailand with TOSTRING and PARSE you can keep a big collection of structs inside a string array
    offtopic
    08:05
    LacksAgencyI wish I had less hobbies so I could focus more on coding. But then I remember my short attention span
    offtopic
    08:05

    slackerSnaila struct is basically a single object which stores named fields

    LacksAgencySo it's basically a way to store objects to call up at a later time?

    AndTheGargoyleI'm happy. I think I worked out game states with a mix of @labels and while loops

    slackerSnailIt shan't be hard to write helper functions to keep them inside arrays or something like that
    general
    01:32
    slackerSnailyeah… I'm leaving them as arrays
    general

    slackerSnailIt's not like this is an SB site or anything

    slackerSnailIt's not my fault nobody else uses this tab
    general
    01:31
    slackerSnailI like that you don't have to type the array when declaring them now

    randomouscrapThe POINT of having it 1 hour or more is so that we DON'T ban for petty things
    admin
    21:56
    slackerSnail>if we had shorter ban periods
    admin
    21:56
    slackerSnailwell it didn't have to be an hour
    admin
    21:56
    randomouscrapI don't think anybody was ACTUALLY upset over hylian posting a long message. You banning him caused way more commotion
    admin
    21:56
    randomouscrapDo what you want in that regard. But please, bans are supposed to reduce quarrels, not increase them

    slackerSnailThis is advantageous over arrays which can only be one type
    offtopic
    08:05
    slackerSnailand the big bonus is that any types can be kept inside
    general
    03:20
    AndTheGargoyleWith that, I might be able to do a basic rpg
    general
    03:11
    AndTheGargoyleProbably horrible for scaling up since it uses gosub to check the state by going to previous state loops but it does what I want it to

    slackerSnailI warned him not to send long messages but he pushed it
    admin

    randomouscrapAnyway, I don't care if you keep hylian's current ban. He brought it up to me, so I looked into it and saw that you basically banned him because he was annoying you.
