I have a couple of friends who kept doing their things after they got a kid. And after two you years, the guy told me, looking a bit desperate "welp... it seems that this little guy needs a routine, after all..."

haha I thought the story was gonna get way worse.

Like he guy told me, looking a bit desperate "welp... The wife is leaving me and taking the kids and now I'm gonna go to the bar"

(You're version was better (read: happier))

Alexandre Vaillancourt

Hehe maybe in that case it would have been "and I'm going back to the bar, where I usually am".

bruglesco

@AlexandreVaillancourt yup. much more consistent.

Alexandre Vaillancourt

That's an issue when the wife is also often found at that bar...

"Kid's in the car, my cell phone is there with him, so we'll hear him when he starts to cry."

bruglesco

"welp... Child Services took the kids so the wife and I are going back to the bar."

Alexandre Vaillancourt

"We'll show them how bad we can be at parenthood, those bastards" :P

It's unfortunate to think that it's probably a true story.

@AlexandreVaillancourt I used to work at a bar. A police officer came in and told a woman she had to come with him. She didn't understand why it wasn't okay to be drinking at the bar with an infant in her car. After all she cracked the windows.

ohh far too many true stories like that unfortunately

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@bruglesco eeeeek :/

Anyone on?

  public Spaces(int a,String b,String c){//Constuctor for Dinos.
    String ds= "d" + a;
    Dino ds = new Dino(a,b,c);
  }

Consider that I want to make instatiate d1,d2,d3,d4,d5.

Why won't it instatiate it?

user92578

uuh that doesnt really make sense

user92578

what do you mean by "why wont it instantiate it?"

user92578

also you have two variables named "ds"

PintOfMilk

I want to create class named d1,d2

user92578

named?

PintOfMilk

11:44 AM

yeah all the dinos are subclasses of spaces class which the constructor is located in

user92578

so what are you actually trying to do

user92578

i still have zero idea what you want to accomplish

PintOfMilk

from the constructor create classes named d1,d2,d3,d4 so what I am doing is using the interger from the superclass and concating it with d so I create instatiate a subclass called d1,d2,d3,d4,d5. However ds is a variable name but I want to call it d1.

or d + int a

user92578

so you want a variable d1 to contain a new instance of Dino?

user92578

And a variable d2 to contain another instance of Dino?

PintOfMilk

11:48 AM

yeah

user92578

You can't create a variable name from another variable like that

user92578

You probably want an array instead

PintOfMilk

why can't I?

user92578

Because that's not how programming languages without a preprocessor work

user92578

Why do you want five different instances?

user92578

11:49 AM

You probably actually really want to put them into an array

PintOfMilk

each dino class will has selected methods though.

user92578

huh?

user92578

I think you need to show more code

user92578

You're making very little sense and this sort of feels like an XY-problem

PintOfMilk

repl.it/@AS4/Dino-opoly

user92578

11:52 AM

Why is the class named Spaces?

user92578

What does it do?

user92578

Why do you need five different variables for Dino instances, and what's wrong with just making five variables for Dino instances?

PintOfMilk

I think to use a array

user92578

Dino d1 = new Dino(...);
Dino d2 = new Dino(...);
Dino d3 = new Dino(...);
Dino d4 = new Dino(...);
Dino d5 = new Dino(...);

PintOfMilk

it is a monopoly board game

user92578

11:54 AM

Dino[] dinos = new Dino[5];
dinos[0] = new Dino(...);
dinos[1] = new Dino(...);

user92578

You probably want an array like that

PintOfMilk

ok but each dino has three variables. It has a description,name and and a interger. Will I be able to use that with an array?

user92578

yes

PintOfMilk

ok thanks

user92578

dino[0] = new Dino("description for dino 1", "dino1", 12);

PintOfMilk

11:58 AM

thanks

user92578

dino[1] = new Dino("description for dino 2", "dino 2", 134);

user92578

and so on

PintOfMilk

looks like I going to have to change the four players synatx to an array as well.

user92578

good idea

PintOfMilk

but for the dino can I put Dino[] dinos = new Dino[5]; in the main?

user92578

12:02 PM

that's the array syntax yes

PintOfMilk

@Tyyppi_77 where should I declare 'Dino[] dinos = new Dino[5];
'

user92578

where you need that data

What are your guy's favourite / (the one you used the most) programming languages?

The Mattbat999

8:28 PM

@PintOfMilk probably either C or C#

user92578

@PintOfMilk C++

PintOfMilk

What do you think will be the most popular language in ten years? @TheMattbat999 @Tyyppi_77

The Mattbat999

C++

PintOfMilk

Why?

I suppose it is oop+procedural...

The Mattbat999

It has been the reigning champ since its debut. Unless C plus plus plus (3 are intentional) comes out between then, it will probably stay the champ

Oh i seen your second question, but i was getting my butt kicked on a game

user92578

9:01 PM

@PintOfMilk Popular language for what?

user92578

Most used anywhere? JavaScript, probably

user92578

10 years isn't a lot even in a fast changing industry like computers

The Mattbat999

Especially when it comes to languages. C is over 40 years old, yet it is used today for baseline software. C++, JavaScript, and other commonly used languages are counting up some years too. Generally hardware is where 10 years make a huge difference.

user92578

Web isn't going to do a total switch to something different suddenly

The Mattbat999

Yep.

bruglesco

9:20 PM

C++

@Tyyppi_77 Even if they do. The existing codebases will still last decades. Hell COBOL is still around for that very reason.

a user was removed. Now I have exactly 500 rep

yay for round numbers

DMGregory

9:47 PM

@bruglesco Yeah, I lost 50 on that today.

bruglesco

Is it weird that I always see User was removed as a scavenger hunt?

@DMGregory also that's not too bad. You've been around quite some time. For them to only have voted on five of your answers.

DMGregory

@bruglesco Me too, I'm always curious who it was and which posts they'd voted on!

I got a +30 bump today from Oskar Stålberg linking one of my answers so I really can't complain. ;)

You may have noticed that a non trivial fraction of my twitter activity consists of gently inquiring whether people posting 3x3 tilesets are familiar with Marching Cubes/Corner Tiles. Here's a good short overview, with pictures, by @D_M_Gregory https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/148460/combinations-for-tiling-two-textures-together

bruglesco

ohh wow that is a good thorough answer

The Mattbat999

10:30 PM

@bruglesco i hate when someone's account is deleted when they had posted on something

Awesome, one of my messages are on the star list 😁😁😁

I've seen several games that include a tax percentage slider, or a set of sliders that indicate how much to take and where to distribute the money. Have any of you heard of games that have more complex tax system or that allow you to change tax policy?
