they have a javascript interperter

if you are using chrome or firefox or IE, they have one, too

but i meant in whatever project you are working on

so that you could type (monsterHealth[rInt1] < 1) and see the output

the gist is, what you are saying doesn't make any sense, so its my theory that one of your statements thus far has been false

either rInt1 or monsterHealth isn't what you think it is

you should double check them

your probably right

am going to check

this is why I dont like dynamic type programming langauges

couldn't hurt. good luck

like python and javascript

ah, well, they have their moments

but it would be so much easier if it were like java and you could define their type

and it couldnt change

perhaps

in duck typing you do that with unit tests

if your type has to have certain values, make sure it has certain values before you use it

Thanks again Seth Battin

no problem, good luck

Am going to go check it now

@SethB Is a bool only one bit?

probably not in c# :|

tough to say

Hmmm... I am trying to decide whether it is more efficient to use a bool or an int

you could make your rows 8 bits wide

shift off one bit per cell

Hmmm... I dont know...

that kind of optimization isn't worth much though. You have something like 2^34 bits with which to work, right?

@SethB Yeah it is small...

make it a byte array, call it good

T.T firefox doesnt know what my array is...

I make it write a string to the canvas and it gives me the proper value

than I make it console it and I get a error that it is undefined

and I didnt change it in the process...

does your code live somewhere public? I could glance it it quick

wait a sec, I'll give it to you

let me copy chunks to notepad and then here

nooooo

some other place

nope

some codebin

whats that

codebin.org

I never actually put any of my code public

okay thanks I'll give it you soon

wait a sec

@SethB Haha... ever since I made a few shaders I look for smallest optimiations

@OutlawLemur it's easy to get embroiled in the minutiae

bytes are good for other things, too

each bit can represent the contents of the surround cells, and then you can map them to specific parts of a tile map

I don't think I will convert it to an single dimension array of bytes because it is such a small optimization and it would not be worth the effort

codebin.org/view/e666ea3b

here I got the important parts

this was part of my game which is 1129 lines long

@SethBattin are you still there?

oh I'm here

hi

do you define monsterCount anywhere?

@androidmaster Do you define rInt1 somewhere else? If you call var rInt1 = 0 in the for loop then it will destruct after the for loop is finished, and won't be available in other scopes like I suspect it is now

yea

yes

But if I where to put that stuff it would make it longer

no it wouldn't

I define all of my vars in the beginng and set them to 0 if they are numbers

monsterCount is 4

javascript arrays have a length property, btw

It could be somewhere else in the script rInt1 is being set to a different type between key presses

that is true

yea but I same the lenght to make it more efficient and faster

:|

@OutlawLemur rInt1 is always a number

see in the for loop, if it were something different it turns back to a number as 0

@androidmaster Are you positive? Because that is most likely where the error lies

read what I just said

and I dont call any methods that change rInt1

in line 17 I get the value of the array and then in 26, it saids that the value is undefined

and I dont understand that since I didnt change it

and the only method I called was addMessage but that just renders that string I made

if (monsterHealth[rInt1] == 0) should be ===... Although you have that elsewhere

I tried that too...

the problem is that somehow after line 17, the browser doesnt know what the array value is but after it is called again it with another key event, line 17 works again but the rest doesnt

hey guys I found a solution but I still dont get it

I'll update codebin

codebin.org/view/36e69ae0

your code works fine, once all the other giant errors are fixed

thanks for the troll

what troll?

i suppose they weren't all errors...mostly just missing global values

???

your code works fine, your conditional works fine

but it doesnt in firefox before

'3'

i dont wnat to be a troll ... :(

quick question guys

is pygame any good?

I think it's fine

I prefer other things, but there's definitely nothing wrong with it

okay.. I want to leanr to use since am going to buya rasberry pi

I made a fully functioning pong in it without hardly knowing it in < 4 hours

and python seems to be the main thing for it

@androidmaster It does the job just fine for 2d game

It's for python

okay good

i dont want to troll myself with python

it happened to me in java and javascript

if you learn python before you use pygame it makes it much easier

I learn to use canvas element for javascript but it turn out I was suppose to use Webgl for fast rendering

@Serial I will

I know some python, I mostly know just java and javascript

Then you should be fine, takes a bit of getting used to though

Yeah I am most fluent in python and pretty good with pygame

@Serial I just dont like that you haev to indent for conditionals

and no semicolons

or brackets

Yeah there are brackets

yeah

Syntax definetly takes getting used to

I love using brackets and semicolons to formate my code and conditioanls but python am forced to idnent

and its dynamic typings

I like static instead but oh well

It took me awhile to get used to typing C#

static?

I love it that way...

hasherr

have you made any other games?

@androidmaster There are semicolons in python...

@OutlawLemur i meant o end each command

like javascript I could do

I know...

console.log("hello world");

Yeah in python you can write multiple statements on one line using semi-colons

but in python its

print ("hello world")

In python you can do print("hello");print("world")

wait wait

yeah

not used to much though

but does it have to be on the same line?

@serial I don't know why you would....

No

YAY!!!!!!!

but

Yeah there is no point, only time I've seen it used is for CodeGolf ;P

Yeah... There is no practical use...

you can do print('hello');

is CodeGolf a competition?

and you wont get an error

@andorid You try to make programs in least characters possible

@OutlawLemur Yea i know that

CodeGolf is a SE site where people post challenges and you try to do them creatively and with the least characters possible

I just have that attachment to using semicolons

I been using them for a year....

@Serial like js1k

@Serial Well code golf is a practice... the site is just based off it... Not to nit pick ;)

Yes, That's true!

I didn't know what it was before i saw the site though

@SethBattin Hey, I need help on what to google

Do you mind helping me out?

anything to google?

I know

what do you want, anything?

Lol

topics for gaem dev?

No

than wha?

Actually, nvm @SethBattin I think I got it

:(

is it soemthign that will make you smarter, if so I can know?

please ignore my bad grammer/spelling

I needed to figure out how to upload a mysql database to a webserver

:O webserver... I never got my home server to work, my ip address would never connect on different computers...

@hasherr sorry, was off for a second

Yeah, it's coo

Looks like I have to install PHPMyAdmin

well, maybe

but if you can install you can add the db manually

do you have shell access?

The MySQL shell?

shell access on the server

Oh, no

mmm...tricky

You're talking about the server where my site is hosted, correct?

whereever the db will live, yeah

Then no, all I have is an FTP.

but you could install phpmyadmin?

Of course I can.

:P

oh, i guess that's just php scripts, eh?

well, a lot of posts I'm reading are saying that it's used to export databases to servers

like this

it will work
