The code that goes into the compiler is all handwritten or meticulously copypasted and has no high-level analogue or any devtools associated with it. I'm the one filling in that void.

 

I think I get it?

 

well good luck anyway, its certainly something I couldn't do

You code bird?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

What language? And how does code write code? You mean a compiler?

A VB-written program that writes code that, as far as I can tell, has no other analogue anywhere else in the universe, and then that gets fed into a different compiler.

I started work on it as a programming project, now I'll be working on it all year and expanding its functionality.

No I do not code

 

I've never been good with technical subjects like Science and Maths, so naturally coding goes straight over my head I'm more of an artist or writer

[geartree 33]

Okay. Can you be more specific. What language does it translate the code into, or does it translate it to another language? Or does it take scripts?

 

I'm honestly intersted, since you don't usually hear of such programs.

Try the more esoteric stuff, IE, storytelling using only mathematics, writing math problems as stories with clearly defined plotlines, and my favourite, hello world.

Ah. Well everyone has their own trade.

Indeed doesn't stop me being jealous of others' trades though. Its one of my weaknesses, always thinking things are greener somewhere else. Just wish I was smart enough to understand code

damn that's a lot to take in. I can barely understand it  

 

although I will admit, "brainfuck" made me lmao so hard   

[geartree 33]

I'm only really competent(by no means skilled, I am only a hobbyist afterall) at c++. I've written prpgrams in both java and c#, and scripts with Unity in c#, but that was about 2 years ago, so really I can only code in c++ atm. Maybe with only a day or two refreshing I could get back into writing java or c#.

Honestly no reason to be jealous. I used to be jealous of writers since I wished I could write.

As I say, its a weakness of mine. Doesn't matter how hard I try, I can't shake the thoughts out of my head  

 

I'm better than I used to be at least, thanks to therapy and stuff. I'm at least comfortable with my talents

Consider a game that defines the placement of game networks using numeric placement flags and translates the permutations of those flags into network textures. The writing of modded code depends on knowing what that code does, which very few people ever master.

 

There is no other method of writing that code, and it typically has to be done eight times because block of code only covers one permutation and there are usually 4 or 8 permutations to cover.

 

The program in question takes a single user input and generates all required permutations. The user input can also be saved in a condensed input for future reference, but has to be compiled to be decompressed, if you wanna call it that.

 

Think this:

 

; Sample code; this one line represents all permutations
intersectonname=3,4321,1234,57000000,57000000
 
; Decompressed version of that code; imagine writing code like this
; This code goes into the game; the compiler actually takes loose textfiles
; full of this code and consolidates it into a single file
; Messing up is not an option
type0=0x01020304,0x04030201,0x57000000,0,0
type1=0x04010203,0x01040302,0x57000000,1,0
type2=0x03040102,0x02010403,0x57000000,2,0
type3=0x02030401,0x03020104,0x57000000,3,0

Try whitespace. Personally, Visual Basic and C++ are my preferred languages, though VB has the more immediate advantage of creating a UI; I've yet to do that with C++. I looked at Java once and found lots of similarities with C++.

Nice advice, but I think I'll just stick to writing I find that hard enough as it is ^w^

Pff, I've tried writing, failed, tried again, gave up for four years, and tried again last November.

 

Oh, and I found that my symbol (see the blue thing in my avatar) looks like Oath of the Gatewatch. http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Oath_of_the_Gatewatch

It's not for everyone I guess

 

I just find solace in it, getting to put my ideas to paper in a comfy, isolated environment where I can be left to my thoughts.

 

but its only me

Well, it's just that I also drew out certain scenes from the thing I did for Nanowrimo last November. Like these:

And now I know no-one here will probably understand, but Evil Geniuses just got defeated in the semi-finals of HWC Qualifiers this is possibly the greatest thing I have ever witnessed in my life.

Ah. Well for UI I'll agree that c++ isn't very convinient, but if you make a game like I am right now you will have to end up using GUI rather than the OS UI.

 

About your code, sounds interesting, but I don't have much experience with network programming, other than basic TCP based networks.

Esports fan? Also which EG, DOTA2 Eg was the best months before, but I know nothing of DOTA. I am a csgo player afterall, only played about an hour of Dota. I follow the cs go pro scene quite intensively. You a fan of Thooorin?

Uh, none of those  I am a Halo player/esports fan. EG is the number one seeded team in competitve Halo and has been for 2 years. Tonight, they were beaten by an unseeded team called Leftovers (it did have a few pros on it, but still) marking the first time they've LOST in two years it's crazy

Depends when you're asking back in the glory days of Halo 3, a tournament (without Twitch) could probably get 50,000? Back then, that was pretty damn good considering it was pretty much a standalone game on the competitive scene back then.

 

Now? There was around 15k on the MAIN stream during the semi finals for the qualifiers.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Im trying friends, but they are saying how they cant manage it or they are fine with where they are at.

well, fuck.

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

what car do you drive?

 

I don't have a car to myself, but I drive my parent's car, and back in 2008 my dad got a Toyota Yaris 3 door blue one, and that is the first car I have ever gotten behind the wheel and driven and it's the one I drive everywhere now and it's getting beaten up because of me. >.< Breaks are bad on it right now, gonna get it fixed tomorrow, and I can go somewhere in it tomorrow and be free from the house and this small town for a bit. xD

[Moon Rat 4,772]

Do the thing, win the points.

 

 

Also, you're alive, lmao.

Don't get me wrong, i would love to do that. But I'm too exhausted plus I'm working again sooooo, that ain't happening for a while.

 

And not for long considering I'm working again.

 

I am NOT getting paid enough for this shit

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

I am NOT getting paid enough for this shit

Then why are you still working?

[Moon Rat 4,772]

Then why are you still working?

Cuz I'm still getting paid more than most other jobs atm.

And I'm trying to move out sooooo, yeah.

 

Working on that right Meow so I'm just going to have to deal with the pain for the time being.
