Yup. Fluttershy Friend seems to never be here either, and Nature Tune decided they were no longer a fan of the show, and stopped coming.

Fluttershy Friend seems to never be here either, and Nature Tune decided they were no longer a fan of the show, and stopped coming. All very sad. I'm still here. Meanwhile I haven't progressed beyond S9E3 but caught glimpses of Sandy and Baroo-Baroo together... (I can only understand small scenes at a time now, as long as they're quality or funny.) Is it OK to call Sandbar Sandy? And Gallus Gally-Birb? And Ocellus Celly-Bug? And Silverstream Silvy-Birb? And Yona Baroo-Baroo? Also, I've spent the past few days trying to turn a four-parameter function spit out technically 30 parameters. I already have a one-param function spit out four parameters and the math for that is ridiculously simple. Spoiler I've broken down household type into four distinct types, but each type both affect average housing occupancy and the age breakdown of a population. Right now, I have four parameters (singles, cohabs, families, and seniors) that should go into a function and generate two outputs (occupancy and population weights; technically 30 outputs) AT THE SAME TIME. I'm at the point where everything else in my residential simulator can effectively be treated as a black box. This is lightyears ahead of the JavaScript simulator-builder I wrote a month or so back; that only had two managers for residential simulation and now I have 3 and several more black boxes in the mix. Is it wrong that I've been at this all week? <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been here since 2011 and figuring out how to get four-parameter function spit out 30 outputs is a lot of work. I may have an idea...
