Oh, and btw, I'm probably not going to work on my prototype for the rest of the evening. I'm beyond that point where when I try to program, I just can't do anything productive.
@EthanBierlein I mean, I have at least a hour of development time left in me today, but if we're not sure if it will be used, I don't want to spend much more time on it
Ack, it's later than I thought. Oh well
Well, I'm going to get started on another project here. See you all later
No, not yet. I actually just woke up. But I did get some work done on it the other day. You can have a look inside the /Prototype folder on the main project.
I have 80% of the starred sidebar rn. It makes me feel like a very important penguin
@QPaysTaxes take off the last six words and that applies to every programmer
What am I then?
Oh, right. A penguin.
I think, to some extent, every programmer wastes a lot of time learning new things. When you get more advanced, you can write more code quicker, but it always seems slower than it should go.
You met me yesterday, right?
So, you did meet me.
Think about it, when you were first writing if statements and loops those were very hard and it took a while for you to write it. Now it's stuff like mutexes, inheritance, casting, etc.
@QPaysTaxes It's totally possible to make a turn-based variant of Entity Component System as well. That's what we have done in Cardshifter.
You are right, it is primarily designed for real-time.
Anyway, I was just throwing it out there.
If you weren't aware of the concept, you might find it interesting
And @AnnonomusPenguin and @EthanBierlein let me know if you want to hook your github repositories up to @Duga. Then this room can get instantly informed about new activity on the repositories.
@QPaysTaxes It's almost impossible for me to write a game without the strategy pattern.
@EthanBierlein Add this webhook to your repository: http://stats.zomis.net/GithubHookSEChatService/hook?roomId=24299 use application/json as the format.
@AnnonomusPenguin / @QPaysTaxes Alright, I've finished my prototype, and while creating a game is slightly more complex, I'm satisfied with my final product.
@AnnonomusPenguin To be honest, I don't think either of our prototypes are more complex than the other. Yours just has one choice, and an item interface.
I simply choose to include slightly more detail with a MapPosition
Most users would do room_3_taco_eat_event_handler()
@Ethan another difference: mine requires an object to be acted upon where yours doesn't. I think that actually might be needed... I'll restructure mine I guess?
Me, @Annonomus Penguin, and @QPaysTaxes are building an engine for easy creation of text-based adventure games, like Zork. The engine is still in it's early stages of development, and the following code is my prototype. Here's the library code.
