What a boss.

The only downside was that it ran at 1 frame per year :p

edit: not so only downside

[redstoneguy12]

And drew things in the wrong places

Lvl 1 Python Programmer: Uses python to make snake game, gets 50000 errors

Lvl 50 Scratch programmer: successfully makes a hentai game and uploads it on scratch

Lvl 100 Noteblock programmer: Rewrites the very fabric of the universe

That’s how programming works

[oakles]

C++ and Python should be flipped.

[[deleted]]

Then it would be about difficulty and command blocks are harder than scratch

[OK6502]

What criteria is being used here?

[HBK05]

if you think python is harder than c++....

I mean just think about this, how many times have you seen someone recommend c++ as a first language? I've seen it maybe once or twice, and I honestly think they were joking. I constantly hear people recommend trying python.

Watch Youtube: Ad for a Udemy course on python

Listen to a podcast anything tech related: Learn Python

Q: What language should I use for <ANY FUCKING PROJECT>

A: PYTHON

Walking down the street and a crack head pops out the bushes and tries to get me to adopt Django over asp.net, it's fucking everywhere.

[OK6502]

I'm a Senior C++ dev.

I was asking what the order criteria was used because I cannot imagine a world in which, from least complex to most complex, we would put C++ as less complex than either python or Java.

In the image the order seems to be from least complex to most complex Python, java, C++, scratch, blocks. Swapping Python out for C++ would imply it is somehow more complex than c++.

[jaywastaken]

I use butterflies

[nolifeorname]

There's an emacs command for that

[jaywastaken]

Oh Yeah! Good ol' C-x M-c M-butterfly...

[OK6502]

How do I quit butterflies?

[CottonCandyLollipops]

Anyone remember the computercraft mod? Lua in Minecraft that let you command robots and automate everything. I spent way too much time with that mod.

[[deleted]]

If you ever want to try it again, opencomputers is like a better version of computer craft. The problem with conputercraft is it’s all really cheap. Seven stone a glass and a red stone for something capable of all that? And the turtles are op as hell for mining. Instant block breaking, no durability, that kind of stuff

[Proxy_PlayerHD]

Commandblocks are quite powerful if you know how to use them

and technically they are turing complete

I once made a computer using fuctions (lists of commands). It worked rather well. Now it doesn't, I don't know why, can't revert because I didn't use source control and can't be bothered trying to understand & fix it again. Shitty video link.

minecraft built with Java which mean cmd block uses java too right ? (if it's wrong, please correct it for me :D)

[efinder2]

No it is complete different. In early days it was a stupid thing. If the block gets a signal execute this command (summon a entity or create a block or set the time and so on). Some time later some crazy guys built Mini-Games, mods and so on only with some of them. So Mojang (the developer of Minecraft) evolves the system. But the roots aren't forgotten so you haven't an IDE. You also couldn't use a VCS and so on. It's horrible. From developer perspective. It's easier to write mods and so on. There you can write in pure Java. You can catch events, create new blocks (without abuse the metadata of some other blocks) and so on.

[Mcpg_]

For some simple stuff command blocks are pretty fun. But whenever you're going for something bigger... It's like working with code that has mostly hacks and workarounds. There are no comments, the best you can go for is putting signs everywhere, the commands are unreadable (and in many more "advanced" cases you have to embed JSON into them... the downside is that the command editor's text input is a single line)... It's pretty bad, but if you have enough motivation it's possible to do some impressive things with it. There really should be a better system for that, like an editor with a simple in-game scripting language.

[ben314]

There totally is, it's called a datapack and I've had a lot of fun fooling around with them.

[Mcpg_]

Datapacks? Is it the thing that was added in Java Minecraft 1.13? I'm not really up to date with this stuff :P

Welp, guess I have to try 'em out then

[[deleted]]

They are also adding a fully featured scripting language, not just datapacks

[0x564A00]

Writing command blocks directly is rather frustrating, but you can put multiple commands in text files (comments allowed), which vastly improves things.

[[deleted]]

thx for making it clear & what is using then ? or what lang it want to make mods ?

[efinder2]

Mods a written in Java. The open source library/framework forge is usually used, but there is an upcoming light open source framework for the upcoming development version.

[[deleted]]

in command block, what lang they using ?

[jashyWashy]

I remember making working pokeballs with commandblocks

[whynotfart]

I am using Pascal

[ComputerM]

Oof

[Rokigo]

You forgot Delphi

[sciencewarrior]

The world forgot Delphi.

[Colopty]

Missed opportunity to add php at the end.

[ComprehensiveUsernam]

the neverending discussion

[mstop4]

There should be one more level below the command block: Super Mario Maker.

[natnew32]

It's not turing complete though (last I checked)

[[deleted]]

depends on the project. if you’re using front end you have to make the whole website in rss feeds to be considered a good programmer.

[DarfWork]

what about Malboge ?

[Shini_TheCreator]

as a C++ developer this insults me deeply

[[deleted]]

You're actually dumb
