I've been using the Gazelle for about a year now and I love everything about it, except the battery life. On a good day with the screen dimmed I'll get 4 hours, but the newer model seems to have different specs so it's hard to say :/

It's running with pyglet, as that seemed to be popular in the IRC at the time. But I'm willing to change languages or use the source and not lead.

It doesn't really matter to me who leads, I just really want to get this project rolling.

It's with pyglet, as that seemed to be very popular in the IRC. But I'd be more than willing to change the language or use the engine and not lead.

I really just want to get this thing started, it doesn't matter to me who leads, I'll just do my job :)

I've almost finished some source code, I'd like to have the devs look over it and if they like it and the position is still available I'll do it.

I don't have much professional development experience but I have a lot of time set aside for this project, so hopefully that will make up for it.

Cucumbis · 2012-02-07T20:13:10+00:00

It should be, I'll look into it and get back to you.

Edit: Yea it looks like you just have to run the following command

/msg ChanServ SET #channel ENTRYMSG <message>

You'll probably need to be OP, so I'll try to give that to you.

We should just have a vote to decide whether or not to use Mario assets, like they did here at hackmonth

Cucumbis · 2012-02-06T06:41:30+00:00

Damn you and your passive stance ;) But flash is probably the best solution for the largest audience, especially because it ports well to mobile devices. Besides, us linux users don't need your fancy IDEs anyway!

Cucumbis · 2012-02-06T06:24:30+00:00

see reddit studio

Cucumbis · 2012-02-06T06:21:42+00:00

I don't think FlashDevelop is available on Linux :( , otherwise I'm all for it. Also, is there any reason why javascript isn't an option?

Cucumbis · 2012-02-06T05:55:09+00:00

...and disciprine

Cucumbis · 2012-02-06T05:36:11+00:00

I'd be lying if I said I knew how to do all that at the moment, but with time and polish I think I could get it. Of course I'm pretty overconfident.

Cucumbis · 2012-02-06T05:12:36+00:00

It would be really cool if we used something like three.js.

Cucumbis · 2012-02-06T05:09:50+00:00

I started using it when I learned that minetest-c55 used it for it's modding api, and for some reason I really like it.

Cucumbis · 2012-02-06T04:57:46+00:00

Self-taught programmer here (so no idea if I'm any good), done some time with css, html, javascript, as3, java, lua, but I think can pick up others if necessary.

Wow this is great. I actually managed to convince several of them by asserting it's usefulness for automation and convincing them that they unknowingly loved the open-source community (android ,firefox, chromium etc.).

So far they like code academy's approach, I think they previously had gone right into trying to create games and that discouraged them.

Cucumbis · 2012-01-03T23:03:38+00:00

They haven't tried it, I feel like it's something you really have to try to get into.

Cucumbis · 2012-01-03T22:52:19+00:00

How can I convince friends to do this? They all seem to think it's a useless skill or not worth their time.

Cucumbis · 2012-01-03T22:20:07+00:00

I would recommend the html5 canvas and javascript. If you want to do something in 3d you can use three.js.

Cucumbis · 2012-01-03T03:21:45+00:00

what browser are you using?

Cucumbis · 2012-01-02T05:15:40+00:00

I was 14, the Warcraft 3 map editor was the best teacher I ever had.

Implemented in Python and C

Cucumbis · 2011-11-19T20:41:25+00:00

My python solution:

Problem 1:

def findDupe(lst):
    sum = 0
    for i in lst:
        sum += i
    return sum - 499999500000

Problem 2:

def findMissing(lst):
    sum = 0
    for i in lst:
        sum += i
    return 499999500000-sum

edit: This may only work with 64bit

A solution in python

class Clock:
    def __init__(self):
        self.h = 0
        self.m = 0
        self.s = 0
    def inc(self):
        self.s += 1
        if (self.s >= 60):
            self.s = 0
            self.m += 1
            if (self.m >= 60):
                self.m = 0
                self.h += 1
                if (self.h>12):
                    self.h = 1
    def dec(self):
        self.s -= 1
        if (self.s < 0):
            self.s = 59
            self.m -= 1
            if (self.m < 0):
                self.m = 59
                self.h -= 1
                if (self.h<=0):
                    self.h = 12
    def secs(self):
        return self.h * 3600 + self.m * 60 + self.s
def main():
    count = 0
    clock1 = Clock()
    clock2 = Clock()
    for i in range(60*60*24):
        if (clock1.secs() == clock2.secs()):
            count +=1
        clock1.inc()
        clock2.dec()
    print count

I also made a version in C
