The decorator pattern can be handy, but often it's better to compose the object with a better design. In this case, inject an IEngine, IBrakes, etc.

Also, @Mat'sMug if you are still here the C# book by Skeet has a bit of info about that one feature I was considering writing a Rosly Feature Request for (method overloads with optional parameters allowing inference and omission of parameters before another parameter).

@EBrown the way I see it, overloading and optional parameters are like a green and a yellow screwdriver; I like my screwdriver yellow, others like the green one better - at the end of the day, we all get screwed.

that didn't come out well

@Mat'sMug Well he doesn't say that it's a bad idea, just that it's not in the language atm.

WOAH I never knew that Visual Studio had auto-complete for override.

Mat's Mug

really?!

EBrown

Yeah, I did not know it did that.

Typed public override in the IDE and it popped up with them all. Best part is it kept the return type.

Mat's Mug

works with just override, too

EBrown

Does it really? It doesn't make it private?

Johan Larsson

override cannot change access modifier iirc

Mat's Mug

8:04 PM

^

Simon Forsberg

it can only broaden access modifier

Mat's Mug

@SimonForsberg in Java maybe

Johan Larsson

broaden meaning?

Simon Forsberg

protected can become public

Mat's Mug

in C# if you override a protected, it's protected

public won't compile

Interfaces > All

I don't know why I've never used interfaces up until now.

2

But I am quite pleased with them. :)

Also, I don't know if you read the other chat or not @Mat'sMug, but I am changing that entire system.

I'm having Process return an IList<NetOutgoingMessage> to be sent by the server.

And I'm passing in a ServerState to it.

Mat's Mug

isn't it awkward that a message knows whether it's incoming or outgoing?

EBrown

Yeah, but I didn't write that API.

That's from library I use.

Mat's Mug

8:10 PM

if I send you a message, it's outgoing for me, but incoming for you

Duga

With the given input, your program outputs 025, which isn't half bad. Adding newlines between the numbers is a no-brainer. And if the leading zero bothers you, then please take notice that your scanf call consumes the number but not the end-of-line character following it. Once you've got it debugged (that's part of the job), please apply for a code review, as I see a lot of bad practices in your code. You'll do fine; good luck! — Ruud just now

EBrown

Yes, so when you read a message from another destination, it's Incoming. When you are writing a message to send, it's Outgoing.

This is that other project.

Mat's Mug

and they don't share an interface or something?

EBrown

The Incoming messages have extra stuff for retrieval on them.

@Mat'sMug Let me look at the source quick.

Johan Larsson

@SimonForsberg you can do public new Foo()

smelly

EBrown

8:12 PM

@JohanLarsson You can do that in C# too.

Or is that what you were saying?

Johan Larsson

yes

Mat's Mug

aka member shadowing

Johan Larsson

only very rarely is new right ime

EBrown

@Mat'sMug They share a NetBuffer class.

No interfaces though.

Simon Forsberg

@EBrown because you didn't know about interfaces until now?

EBrown

8:14 PM

And that class has all the Read/Write methods.

@SimonForsberg I knew about them, just not how super useful they are.

I never needed them up until now.

Mat's Mug

@SimonForsberg at least in C# it's explicit. I don't see it as a Java win, I see it as hidden member shadowing, and utterly confusing and totally wrong.

EBrown

Also, is it best practice to implement interfaces explicitly?

Johan Larsson

@Mat'sMug +1

Mat's Mug

@EBrown no

EBrown

@Mat'sMug I might start doing that explicitly then.

I think it looks better, tbh.

Johan Larsson

8:15 PM

@EBrown yes no depends

Mat's Mug

don't implement interfaces explicitly unless you have to

EBrown

@JohanLarsson Well I have to do it for a couple because the member I have isn't the same type as the member the interface wants.

Johan Larsson

^^

Simon Forsberg

@Mat'sMug I'm not quite sure what hidden member shadowing is, but what Java does doesn't really sound like it.

EBrown

I like the way explicit interface implementations look, though. :(

Mat's Mug

8:17 PM

@EBrown 'till the day you stick an access modifier there and wonder why it won't compile ;-)

@SimonForsberg nah you're right, it's not shadowing

EBrown

@Mat'sMug I'm pretty sure I'll never put an access modifier on ILogger IDataMessage.Logger.

Mat's Mug

A: What is Shadowing?

Shadowing hides a method in a base class. Using the example in the question you linked: class A { public int Foo(){ return 5;} public virtual int Bar(){return 5;} } class B : A { public new int Foo() { return 1;} public override int Bar() {return 1;} } Class B overrides the virtu...

when the shadowing is "hidden", you get a compiler warning telling you to verify whether that was intentional or not.

the new keyword can then be used to tell the compiler "it's okay, I know what I'm doing, leave me alone"

As GolezTrol advises, you'd be better off on something like codereview.stackexchange.com. — DominatorX 43 secs ago

Vogel612

@SuppressWarnings

Mat's Mug

@Vogel612 works. but isn't that a bit wider than needed?

Vogel612

which isn't exactly a keyword, but it helps with more things than the shadowing warning

It needs more tests, though.

8:30 PM

EBrown

No but seriously, I think that's the only way to fix this issue.

Mat's Mug

careful, you might be over-compensating ;-)

EBrown

Right now the prototype is public override IList<IOutgoingMessage> Process(HashSet<IPlayingClient> clients), but it should be public override IList<IActionable> Process(HashSet<IPlayingClient> clients).

Then, IActionable will be subsets of classes that do different things.

I.e. a class SendMessages with IList<NetOutgoingMessage> as a parameter, a class ProcessLogin which will contain code to mash the login with the player.

But that doesn't make sense...

I think this would make a good Programmers question.

Good news is most of my methods are down to 20 lines or fewer.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it belongs to codereview — tinlyx 30 secs ago

Phrancis

@SirPython Yeah, just like that! I do that all the time! (and for the record, I don't even use canned copy/paste welcome messages)

Q: First Post Review Queue — what is it? Why is it a bad idea to click "No Action Needed"?

When you pass 350 reputation you gain access to the Review Queues. One of them is the "First Post" queue. What is this queue, what purpose does it serve, and how should I process items in that queue?
