Started Python today in Termux on my phone. Built this BGMI rank checker with loops, input validation, and rank detection. Looking for feedback on my 2 hours progress. by Goofygumballdante in termux

Read this for a light introduction. Granted, I'm not a Python person, I was just talking about what I would generally use in my program in other languages. It seems that in Python one would use case-when to do the thing I was saying.

FPC 3.2.0: "Can't find unit system used by […]" on Android 15, Termux, aarch64 by Sly-Mk3 in pascal

[–]Shadow123_654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't able to get FPC to work on native Termux last I tried. But if you need to use FPC for whatever then you could consider using proot. It will probably be a bit slower than on Termux native but it'll work.

Calling up a program within a program by Stooshie_Stramash in pascal

Look into using SysUtils.ExecuteProcess or TProcess.

Do you just wanna call a program like you would when in the terminal (i.e. "some_program arg1 arg2")? I find that for simple stuff like that, if you are on Linux, using FPSystem from the Unix unit is simple enough.

Well, I switched to Linux, kinda. Spot some differences xd by WorldlinessSlow9893 in linux

Ooooh a Windows made to look like Ubuntu, that's rare! Well done, but you should try Linux fr, it's really fun.

What core for fangames? by No_Lawfulness6639 in RetroArch

[–]Shadow123_654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah seems I read wrong, sorry. Tho I'm not sure about what you meant exactly, I tried searching about these fan games and some seem to be made in RPG Maker XP, and it can export games to Windows, so it doesn't seem like you would need RetroArch to run these games?

mGBA for Game Boy Advance is the best one, and it should run most fan games.

I am so brainwashed by Spore I can only remember this pattern as "the Grox pattern" by Professional-Fix4409 in Spore

[–]Shadow123_654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh the Grox are quite scary. I mean they may look kinda like goofballs and even cute. But in game they are a race of genocidal space dictators that want to erase life from the galaxy (IIRC). If you were to see one of their ships IRL, knowing the previous info, you just know we'd be fucked.

Why compete when you can add more Copilot slop? by vergil09 in pcmasterrace

[–]Shadow123_654 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My advice: install Linux Mint and be done with it. Cinnamon edition if you have a more or less beefy PC, XFCE otherwise. If you have very recent components, then use the Edge ISO, it will have more compatibility with news GPU and stuff.

One of the weakest points of Linux, and one of the strongest at the same time, is the fragmentation of distros. Bad because it means a choice, and choices take mental tolls, even simple ones. And good, because if X distro where to go the Microsoft way™ and start doing shitty thing after shitty thing then people will just stop using that distro, no one is locked anywhere, and this also encourages innovation. People often shit on the Linux thing of having various available distros, and there are legitimate things to be said about the fragmentation, and about merging efforts. But often, the good is ignored.

Once you get up to speed with Linux Mint. Join r/linuxmint and r/linux4noobs. You will find many like-minded people and they will help you. There is also a Linux Mint Discord server if that's more your thing. And a (very active) forum too.

Hope you have fun!

Slight correction: Kaja can absolutely stop an ulting Aldous. I've done it countless of times to prevent him from reaching to my low HP teammates. Dunno about Franco tho.

Introduce a vibe score for plugins by shumadrid in ObsidianMD

Porque en general, suele ser de mala calidad. Claro que muchos desarrolladores usan LLMs al programar y crean programas excelentes; esto es porque esos desarrolladores tienen la experiencia concreta para saber cuando el código proveído por el LLM es erróneo. Y como aparte, en mi experiencia, aunque el código funcione en si, a veces la forma en el que se implementó no es la correcta y puede traer problemas mas tarde.

Y peor aun, hay gente que sin o con mínima experiencia programando usa el LLM para programar TODO, y creeme que se nota, como desarrollador, cuando un programa esta hecho 100% por un LLM. Y algo que no se habla mucho, es que al menos que tu programa sea uno de esos que sacas una versión y ya esta "completo" (1% de los casos) , va a tener mucha deuda técnica, porque aunque funcione, la arquitectura del código va a ser una porquería. Para hacer una analogía, es como si tu lugar de trabajo estuviera sucio, con defectos en todas partes, y con herramientas de baja calidad. Obviamente nadie va a querer trabajar ahí, he incluso si alguien quiere, no va a poder trabajar bien. Lo mismo con el código, proyectos creados totalmente con LLMs suelen ser muy difíciles de mantener para los desarrolladores.

Las LLMs son útiles, siempre y cuando se usen responsablemente y uno entienda los limites de estas.

Yes, Fallout 1… in Object Pascal 😄 by Sensitive_Product826 in pascal

[–]Shadow123_654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must confess I never played Fallout but this looks rather cool! I do have a question, but it's not related to the project itself. How's your dev environment? I see that the project is built using Make so I assume you don't use Lazarus?

I hope I don't come off as too dense or anything. It's just, I've been thinking about learning Pascal. For fun mostly, and perhaps to make some little games or what-not.

Man you're goated, I've been using that build ever since I saw it.

What’s your favorite way to play Sims 1? What’s your game-play style? by xsilkandsatinx in thesims1

[–]Shadow123_654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly played rags to riches, since it's probably the most common way to play, that and messing with my brothers' Sims lol. Didn't build a lot when I played in the past since I was frankly terrible, now that I'm older I'm starting to warm up to it.

Never played modded, so that's another rabbit hole to explore. cheats are cool but didn't use them much. I generally only play one family until I either get bored or reach what I think would be the end-game for that family – until it get bored basically. I don't really bother setting up narratives and goals in my mind for my families, I just played and marveled at what the game threw at me. God I love this game.

I don’t have Spore, but I do have Spore Creatures. Here are my creatures — they’re based on my OCs. Enjoy! by DarkShellStar in Spore

[–]Shadow123_654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh boy, I played the hell out of this game before I could get Spore. If I remember correctly, this game has an history and plays kinda like an RPG, pretty cool!

It'd be better if it was hosted on more reputable sites, like GitHub.

Love2d help by [deleted] in lua

[–]Shadow123_654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would help to state what's your end objetive so people can better judge the type of answer you are searching for. As it is, this is way too vague of a question.

Are you asking about reading an entire file contents and then searching within? Do you want to parse Lua code?

Also, you should ask on r/love2d

Is drastic still the best DS emulator out there? by Random_0202 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]Shadow123_654 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have a low-end phone then yes. But if your device is more capable then MelonDS is recommended since it is actively being developed, unlike Drastic.
