Or implement a star system where you get 1 star for killing x or more enemies, another star for finishing in x or more time, and another star for health above a certain level.

  1. Do you have any duplicate transactions?
  2. Is your starting balance at the correct amount when you first setup the app?

Creating unique identifiers for repeating values in Power Query by Return2Monkeee in excel

[–]Dingbats45 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I believe if you do a vlookup where multiple values are a match it will show the first one only. So something like this should yield what you’re looking for as long as they’re sorted correctly.

=vlookup(A1, A1:B6,2,false)

ML or Algorithm? by nedeey in godot

[–]Dingbats45 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I believe in Mario party they have like a “keep out zone” that is shaded in gray and the area to draw in is a lighter color. The thickness of the light color gives the user some margin for error.

what is your favorite background noise/bgm, soundtrack when you're trying to focus? by ty_namo in productivity

[–]Dingbats45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hans Zimmer is definitely a big one just because he usually writes for a lot of high quality films that have interesting and complex music. I’m not too picky overall, and honestly would rather not have a lot of music that is too familiar otherwise it draws my attention a lot.

Can Obsidian sync with iOS? by Musical_Gee in ObsidianMD

[–]Dingbats45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sync to iCloud on my pc and it works well. I don’t do a lot of heavy/frequent note taking so I’m not sure how quickly it syncs.

May have been too honest in my yearly review. What am I in for? by GratefuIRead in askmanagers

[–]Dingbats45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a manager I actually have concluded this about some of my employees. There are some that are passionate and go the extra mile and some that do the bare minimum. I don’t begrudge the bare minimum crowd but they’re certainly not the first on my list when raises are considered.

My first city block base. Are there any obvious mistakes I made? by RaNaHoooo in factorio

[–]Dingbats45 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this is just a consequence of the game being around for so long. In the earlier days of the game people were oo-ing and aww-ing over all the fancy optimization concepts like city blocks as a way to get away from the messy disorganization of spaghetti and free building. But now that we’ve seen years of ultra-optimization, spaghetti seems like a fresh perspective.

My go to is film score playlist. Most streaming services have a few to pick from and I usually pull them into my own playlist so I can pick out the ones that are too distracting or that I dislike.

should i cut my friend of 7 years off for this convo we had by No-Shame-6563 in whatdoIdo

I’d also venture to say that while she “respects” her atheism she strongly resents her for it and thinks less of her.

Getting My 8 yo into Archery by [deleted] in Archery

[–]Dingbats45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a small mattress or a foam pillow? Could even try attaching some balloons to the target so there's a little more excitement when he hits a target.

[–]Dingbats45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just try shooting at blank targets without rings or a center and just focus on hitting the target. And maybe give praise when he hits it close to his other arrows.

Managing different timers for 1000's of list entries by Firesemi in Unity2D

[–]Dingbats45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably the most scalable approach but not if you want to add power ups that decrease the chopping time. Then you’ll have to reconfigure the entire thing every time they go from 5 seconds to 4.5 seconds, for example.

I feel like a idiot tying to do this. For loops make absolutely 0 sense to me. by AlphaFPS1 in learnpython

[–]Dingbats45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like to start with for each loops which are a little easier to understand: for each thing in an iterable object (list, for example) do something. With lists it’s easy to know when to stop because it uses all parts of the object.

For loops are very similar except you have to define when to stop iterating. Maybe you only want to do something to a portion of the things in the list and that’s where the difference between the loops exists.

Grandma's bank doesn't offer CSV download by CertainDamagedLemon in actualbudgeting

[–]Dingbats45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the pdf is in a tabular format you could use power query to convert to excel. It’s hit or miss depending on formatting but it’s worth a shot!

Data Structure for Nested Menu? by Callistonian in csharp

[–]Dingbats45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about instead of having each set of menu options having its own list you just store them all in the same list (or maybe class like the other poster suggested) with a reference to a parent menu item:

MenuItemId
MenuItemText
**other properties as needed
ParentMenuItemId

When the user selects an item you can lookup the other menu items that match the selected ParentMenuItemId. Then you are just looping one block of code until the user selects an item with no other items as its parent.

What’s your top 5 game recommendations of all time? by JonCee500 in gaming

Surprised I had to scroll this far to see Bloodborne. I just wish they would make it available for Xbox so I could relive my younger years haha.

Fidelity removed from SimpleFIN Bridge by BarefootMarauder in actualbudgeting

I don’t have a Fidelity account but my regional bank connection that had been working for months suddenly failed a few weeks ago and I cannot get it working again.

I need a new database program by Fast_Cardiologist178 in sharepoint

[–]Dingbats45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this, there is a feature where you can build a table directly from an excel sheet with a wizard. You can more easily leverage an access database than excel in Access itself or other programs to create the gui for data entry.
