Why are "best practice" questions so derided here, when "pattern" questions are not? According to Wikipedia: Patterns are formalized best practices that the programmer can use to solve common problems when designing an application or system. I've read some of the articles discussing why "...

How do I inject headers in to the test framework the right way. I have tried this.... ?

Yeah, but it works.

So I'm not sure if it's still good to go there

I suppose I can put it on SO..

> You've earned the "Revival" badge (Answered more than 30 days later as first answer scoring 2 or more) for "Improving equal spacing between elements in layout".

Well, you've hit a soft spot. In this case, I would probably back off on the solution you have, present it more as a question, and target the bigger SO audience.....

OK, so, can anyone point me to a succint guide on using gtest with cmake on windows? because I'm not really finding that anywhere

@Pimgd <strike></strike>

thx

@rolfl Perhaps a self-answer to gauge support for the approach?

@Pimgd <del> </del>, less characters

Only after you've had no other answers for a bit.

Really, the fact you have a solution that works, is nothing like that there may be a much better way.

4:15 PM

Not even as CW?

I wouldn't

Don't 'poison' the idea pool.

Also, you should search first.... there may be something.

Interestingly, if you type a decent title in to the 'ASk a question' box, the 'related' questions it suggests are often much better than other search mechanisms.

@Malachi vote 'Meh!' ;)

Currently on phone, but anyone working with coldfusion needs help

@Pimgd did you write that game of life answer on your phone??

No lol

Also each tile needs to know about its neighbors because its easy to work with, and its extensible

Well that's just evil

4:39 PM

How would you implement hexagons?

@JeroenVannevel lol

@Pimgd naaah... it doesn't need to know..

but it needs to know someone it can ask...

and that might be the ocean or some helper-method...

what you're doing is creating a doubly linked quadruple rootless tree

Yeah but x y array is just nasty

@Pimgd @Vogel612 from a code purity standpoint the tile should be a data class and have an 'actor' that acts over all the tiles and treats them as a set

from a pragmatic approach, each tile knowing about it's neighbour would be easier

@DanPantry that

4:41 PM

@JeroenVannevel We need to get this sexy black background code formatting for the graduated site ;-)

Okay you got me

it incurs some rather nasty performance implications though..

There was a similar project

@Vogel612 redis to the rescue - although that would likely be overkill

if you want to ~~recolor~~ process tiles based on the pragmatic approach, you get loads and loads of pointerjumping and cache misses..

4:41 PM

It was about a 2d tile based game

@Vogel612 OP is coding in Java. Do you think he cares? :D /s

You could push blocks

@DanPantry I don't think he does, but just because you code Java doesn't mean you shouldn't care..

@Vogel612 note the /s = sarcasm :p

Some blocks could nit be pushed

Some blocks could

Lets say boxes can

4:43 PM

@Pimgd just like in this... wood boxes out of a maze thingy??

either way that sort of problem lends itself to some kind of ~~k-tree structure~~ mesh structure

And blocks couldnt

unboxMe....

If you push boxes and tou hit boxes, you oush them too

@DanPantry flattened k-trees are convenient, but possibly performance-intensice.

@Pimgd like... 2048?

4:44 PM

You have to use the box and block to catch some movable

@Pimgd watching you type on your phone is laughably painful

That movable tries to catch you via A*

Pathfinding

@Dan because he's slower than everyone else here???

For these kinds of things....

@Vogel612 because of "tou" and "oush" and "could nit"

4:45 PM

That quad rootless tree was awesome.

We had wormholes, oneway ledges...

pathfinding is a vastly different problem from a fsm..

a tree without a root would be a mesh, surely

The model all supported it

So when youve thought about such a thing for 4 weeks...

Well.

Its hard not to go for that approach. Especially from a game perspective.

Games are always expanding in these unique ways

... But I encourage you to write your own answer

de-facto a mesh is the simplest approach for supporting intelligent sharks..

because then you can pathfind for fish and take the shortest...

as an aside, a mesh with hexagonal nodes.. is a cube...

You can even have reefs now =)

If you spot something you believe is an error though, I'd recommend that you ask them about it. Say something like, "Umm.... excuse me, but... I'm a little bit confused by this part right here. Is that correct?" If they can explain it well, then you might be wrong about it being an error. If they can't explain it, then you've given them something to think about.

I'd actually recommending spending a bit of time finding what you think to be the correct solution and try that out first. Sometimes things look like errors because you don't know why the other solution doesn't actually work.

First I gain the knowledge so I actually know that I know what I'm talking about

Just... do the debugging yourself. Probably before mentioning, be quite sure it's an error, try to understand why it's an error (so you can explain if necessary), and try to have the solution ready at hand.

I'm too n00by to get any errors

Oh, you meant other people's code?

I do that all the time; that's kinda why I'm at SO

What's even harder is mentioning the errors of my seniors.

I may not answer the questions, but I sort out the issues

Q: IB_DESIGNABLE, IBInspectable -- Interface builder does not update

You're welcome to sort out this issue:

I have the following set of code: CustomView.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> IB_DESIGNABLE @interface CustomView : UIView @property (nonatomic) IBInspectable UIColor *borderColor; @property (nonatomic) IBInspectable CGFloat borderWidth; @property (nonatomic) IBInspectable CGFloat cornerRadius; @en...

ios objective-c interface-builder ibdesignable ibinspectable

Funny thing about logic is that it's applyable everywhere :3

@nhgrif Sadly though, I only know Java

But I'm gonna get to the Cs when I'm done :3

I like the Cs. They make so much sense ♥

He says, having not seen Objective-C.

sometimes I think I am the only person who actually Likes objective-c.. I probably shouldn't be saying that here though!

I actually do like Objective-C.

But it's definitely in a world of its own relative to the rest of the C-family.

10:53 PM

but if you feel like dropping in some C code or C++, you can always do that :)

or Swift.

You can't "just drop in C++"... but you can do Objective-C++, sure.

@bazola You said that you like Objective-C, you didn't say it about PHP, you're fine.

yeah I would never say anything positive about PHP :)

@bazola

ah, okay. I think I only do that in one spot. Thanks for pointing that out

Yeah, I think there's a slightly better approach to this. I just now saw this question.

I've messed a lot with bytes lately, far more complex than this...

Consider an array of uint16... and some of the values in that array actually are uint32... and some of them are char....

I was going to have an approach where I had an initial byte with certain data and then the rest of the data would be blocks, but I figured out I could just get what I needed from one of the blocks anyway

So lots of bitwise operations to get everything sorted into its correct spots.

but I would love to hear other approaches, obviously :)

> 1995 - At a neighborhood Italian restaurant Rasmus Lerdorf realizes that his plate of spaghetti is an excellent model for understanding the World Wide Web and that web applications should mimic their medium. On the back of his napkin he designs Programmable Hyperlinked Pasta (PHP). PHP documentation remains on that napkin to this day.

Is JavaScript and ECMAScript the same thing?

JS stemmed forth from the latter or something like that

I think the spec is (still) called ECMAScript

ECMAScript

ECMAScript is the scripting language standardized by Ecma International in the ECMA-262 specification and ISO/IEC 16262. The language is widely used for client-side scripting on the web, in the form of several well-known implementations such as JavaScript, JScript and ActionScript. == History == JavaScript was originally developed by Brendan Eich of Netscape under the name Mocha, later LiveScript, and finally renamed to JavaScript. In December 1995, Sun Microsystems and Netscape announced JavaScript in a press release. In March 1996, Netscape Navigator 2.0 was released, featuring support ...

@SimonAndréForsberg Give me your compiled bot, and I'll play them side by side :P

@EngieOP it's in Java though, not in C++. And I have several versions of my bot.

EngieOP

Do you have one that plays until one grid is won?

You can play against the ones I have here: zomis.net/ttt/TTTWeb.html

They're far from perfect though, haven't been working so much on the AI aspect of things

@SimonAndréForsberg Thanks :)
This is cool.
