i like python a lot but it really is weird to go from python to C-like languages and vice-versa

always end up puttin colons after my if statements and whatnot...

but whenever I need to use javascript or something that requires extra things, it's a little annoying cus I keep forgetting to add the semicolons

Psst... JavaScript doesn't require semicolons!

Is this true JS or just JS syntax though? Try creating a JS file and running it via HTML instead.

well you should still use them

but C# does require them, and that's actually the specific example I had in mind. since I was using it earlier that day

ooh that's very impressive. I've always wondered how that really works

Basically I fill the grid with noise and then use a modified version of Conway's game of life to make each square more like the squares surrounding them. Works pretty well.

After realizing that animating the oceans for my RTS by moving UV coordinates around or using animated textures is stupid, I wrote a shader that lets me control the flow direction of the water with normal maps. This was also sorta helpful.

Now I just have to figure out a way to generate the flow map for oceans...

That's a warning from the editor, not an actual error.

Two very, very specific cases you can only run into by being careless. Using semicolons all the time because of these cases is a terrible idea.

morally, its the right thing to do
also I don't think I would call it a terrible idea
even if they're not required they're definitely still allowed and using them won't hurt anything
