POLL - Should We Continue This? - Blockland Pitstop

[Honno]

Well, I suppose you should throw my application away.
Because I cant write a simple loop either.

I know what the code does and what parts do what, but I cant write it without a reference.

Noo, we need people like you, not just scripters, but modelers, since models will be a huge percentage of all the addons on here.

Sorry Honno. I can't say it enough. I actually do hope this succeeds.


Best of luck,
Honey Cocaine

Thanks.

wtf

how can you guys read code and know what they do but not be able to create a simple number loop in less than 4 statements?

Oh well in that case.
My app still stands.

Hope I can be of use.

Well, mainly because I dont know what the terms mean. If I saw what it was, Id prolly recognize it.
I just find writing code much harder than reading it. Kinda like how some people know how to read other launguages but cannot speak it.

I have some name suggestions :P

Blockland Nexus

BlocklandGlobal (You can have it if you want)

BlockBox

BlockPop (Kinda weird name)

Blockland Jukebox

You do not have to use these, take care.

[Honno]

BlocklandGlobal (You can have it if you want)

You should keep it and continue working on it, it could be a good website for links and resources to various addons / tutorials on Blockland

Yeah, I may only have some links and other things that people can refer to.

Because "code" can be anything from a for loop to some complicated convoluted bullstuff

Code: [Select]

$_=getDateTime()*~~$PI;$_&=$_-true;$_=$_!=$_-$_;
$____=$_<<$_;
$__=$_/($_<<$_)/($____<<$____);
$____<<=$_;

function _(%_,%__)
{
if(%__-%_>false){%___=%_;%_=%__;%__=%___;}
%_=%__=%_-%__>$__?_((($____-$_)*%_+%__)/$____,(($____-$_)*%__+%_)/$____):~~(($_-(-$_))*%_)/($_-(-$_));
}
Most people just don't look at the bullstuff, as you can see. (If you want an actual challenge, try to figure out what that does without running it in blockland or tracing through it manually. Good luck.)

Meh, for loops are kinda advanced. Code can be as simple as addition. return 5 + 5;

Not only should blockland pitstop just be for add-ons but it should also be a database for open source materials and a playground for mod developers. If it's going to be something to promote addon development then we should include my suggestion. Also having sounds and music as Mr. nobody mentioned would be nice.

It would actually be cool if this mod implemented some sort of way to edit scripts in-game via GUI and input them.

Of course, changes in datablocks would need a restart of the server, but it would be nice to allow a notification of it like "This change requires a restart. Do you want to restart and reload the online server/singleplayer?"

at the very least i think you cannot change/edit/add datablocks ingame.

Even better...

that idea is good
it reminds me of E2 from wiremod in gmod

Because we can - Blake said he could, but we gave him an extremely simple test and he couldn't pass it, so therefore he can't code. The rest of us that can actually have some legitimate knowledge of programming can do that - it's really basic.
And also because of what Iquarx said.
Speaking of over complicated stuff, what the hell does ~~ do?

[Honno]

~ flips bits.

I presume ~~ would just flip, then flip back into its original value.
So its pretty much not there for anything, just to throw off the user.

It takes around 2 minutes of Googling to do this in any language.

Ruby:

Code: [Select]

10.times {
|i| puts i
}

Lua:

Code: [Select]

for i=0,9 do
print i
end

Python:

Code: [Select]

for i in range(0, 9):
print(i)

JavaScript:

Code: [Select]

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
console.log(i);
}

Every one of these prints the numbers 0-9 and all of them are extremely basic, even without knowledge of a language. You should really try and learn a programming language; it's easy, fun, and useful. Personally, I would recommend Ruby or Lua.
