or when you forget to import something

or when you forget a semicolon

or when you forget to put your resources with your compiled .class files

I feel for all of this.

I have a really ambitious idea for a procedurally generated game. PM me if you want more info.
Just post it in the topic, I doubt someone is going to just run away with the idea, assuming you're actually going to do anything.

First two will causes compiler errors, which means that it's pretty easy to fix.
Regarding the last one, are you seriously using javac manually to compile Java code? For your own sanity, don't Be lazy and use a tool that handles all of that for you instead (for example, Maven, Gradle, or SBT).
Maven is probably the fastest of the bunch, but it's a pain to set up, IIRC. Gradle has an awesome DSL IMO (and your basic build manifest is just "apply plugin: 'java'" if the defaults are fine for you), but it is (at least it was back when I used it, although that was a while ago) relatively slow. SBT is somewhere in between, arguably it has a less awesome DSL than Gradle, but OTOH it has some other benefits (such as better Scala support, a type-safe DSL, automatic recompiling when you save your code (awesome), and better performance), although it will, IIRC, include the Scala standard library as a dependency by default.

I'm doing it. You don't have to be an starfish.

yes, but it's still an annoying mistake when i run the program before the errors show up, thinking there are no errors.

i use eclipse, lol

Your OP sounded like you were just the "idea guy". I wasn't trying to be mean, I was just stating that you're being overly secretive and wanted to know whether you were actually going to do anything useful yourself on it, or if you just wanted a "code monkey".

I'd rather have them while compiling than while running it.

99% sure eclipse can do that too.



Torquescript please
No.


add ti basic
it's the only one i know :3

I'm sorry but intentions don't equal results, you have to be diplomatic.

Anyways I don't want to explain it to anyone who isn't interested enough to PM me.

you really are glorifying this idea of yours, aren't you?

You're the one trying to sell the idea, not us.

I'm not selling anything.

It is glorious and ambitious :3

welp, i'm not really interested in the idea so i don't really want to know any more about it. you made it sound boring and generic.

Good, I'm doing this to weed out personalities like that.
