Dropped the ball on the RP front several times tonight! Sorry folks. I blame pesky sister for making me entertain her all night.

So I finished that clown mask...

Oh fiddle. Accidentally got enemied to to the Inner Sea. This will be a fun to pay off.

Ergh, thank you kid for making me feel like I have to do guild rank stuff instead of designing things, man

Just want to express my dissatisfaction that Lua is 1 indexed instead of zero indexed. Caused me so many problems.

I was going to rave about anatine, the most lovely poison of them all, but now I've messed myself up so badly that I can't log in.

The telnet client on my phone can't cope with the forced movement and hypochondria spam.

Welcome to the modern world! Zero is considered true, as well. (and it's awesome)

Hehe, I'm actually used to that - in Ruby everything is true except nil and false.

I was writing my autobasher this morning, and I could not figure out why my list of mobs was empty. Then I realized it wasn't, but monsters was nil.

Other than that I'm enjoying Lua though, but getting used to table.insert(myTable, item) as opposed to myTable.insert(item) is a little weird.

I understand hating 0 based arrays.

But I don't understand 0 not equaling false, because in binary logic, you only have 0 and 1.

It was a minor speed bump in my Lua learning, but I love Lua more than any other language now.

myTable:insert(item)

Whenever I see a psymet monk, I always think of Ryu.

In java class I know exactly how to code a lot of the stuff that I'm doing in lua but not in java, so where I'm working with varaibles in java I keep wanting to declare them the way one would in Mudlet, and even go so far as to code out a program in my head that would function in Mudlet running from aliases as one would code in java.

(Not related to anything that has been posted. At least, not on the forums.)

I actually like 0 based arrays, it's what most languages use. As for the second thing, there are a few reasons. Most modern languages have an actual variable type for boolean values, so it's more consistent to just use those (and nil is usually false as a matter of convenience).




Ever used Ruby? >_>




Thanks for the tip, much cleaner IMO.




Hehe, I know the feeling of this, we use Java where I work, though I use Ruby for most projects at home. It doesn't help that they even have different syntax conventions - java variables are usually camel case (thisIsAVariable), and Ruby ones use underscores (this_is_a_variable)

Tried Ruby for a web project, hated it, and went back to PHP pretty quickly.

I don't mind arrays one way or the other in a language.

What I mind is when you have to integrate languages that use differing bases. For example, integrating C++ with RDMLX. Great fun.

... for many reasons, of which that is probably the least problematic.

Big things done, and I need sleep. Now let us hope this isn't all a huge mistake.

If I start drinking or not depends on (ok, it probably doesn't) how much of a big damn headache we just made for ourselves or not. Everything will be a beautiful garden of sunshine and rainbows and it'll all be super awesome and just great. HAPPINESS ALL AROUND.

Hey, just in time for me to apply for aetherfavors. No, I didn't plan it that way.
