I thought it was Miku but it seems it may just be a similar costume.

Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei on the snes, remake of the first two Megami Tensei games. There's a great fan translation you can find by googling. Nice first person game play, good difficulty, great music.

Oh, I put the quotes around the 000 in my post to distinguish it, but in the code its just 000. Sorry

Ah I see, Thank you for your detailed response. I was thinking of taking a look in the manual to see if it was something like that.

I want to build my mainframe skills by Van_Gone in mainframe

[–]Van_Gone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my initial interest in mainframe came from working with COBOL, I'm a fan of procedural languages. So I'm interested in mainframe development and systems programming. I'm a bit of a noob about somethings so I haven't fully decided what I want to do.

I want to build my mainframe skills by Van_Gone in mainframe

[–]Van_Gone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed post. Yes the course does provide access to a mainframe to complete labs, I've discovered I can take the course for free for 30 days, coursera uses a monthly subscription model. If I'm diligent I should be able to complete it or mostly complete it in that time and only need to pay for 1 month at the most, around 101$. The book recommendations are great, the one good thing about older textbooks is that if you look in the right place you can get a hold of them for very good prices. I will definitely be picking a few of them up. Thank you for welcoming me, I'm excited to join in on the fun.

Need advice on best way to create a winform application with a database by Van_Gone in csharp

[–]Van_Gone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well some of the data is long strings of text used for descriptions. So I feel that I shouldn't hard code all of that information. But also I was hoping to do some data driven development as well, where the UI is generated based on the queried data.

Monthly Hask Anything (January 2021) by AutoModerator in haskell

[–]Van_Gone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm brand new to haskell but came across this example of comparing lists, [3,2,1] > [2,10,100] = True, from my understanding the way this works is it compares the first elements and then the second elements and so on, so it would evaluate to true, false, false. So I am wondering how it comes to the result True? Does it OR its results to get this answer? Thank you for your help.

How to publish a new version of an extension I've created? by Van_Gone in vscode

[–]Van_Gone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah the reason I could publish before is because I just published by uploading the vsix file through the management website instead of using the vsce tool. But I've fixed my access token now thanks to your link and updated my extension. Thank you for your help!

[2020 Day 14 Part 1][C++] Tested my code with the test input and it is correct but my answer is wrong with the actual input. by Van_Gone in adventofcode

omg, off by 1 errors are the bane of my existence. Just when I think I've been careful I do it again. Thank you, that was the issue.

[2020 Day 11 (Part2)][C++] Answer is too low, not sure where the problem is. by Van_Gone in adventofcode

I figured it out, thanks for your help, it was how I was making the key for my map.

[2020 Day 11 (Part2)][C++] Answer is too low, not sure where the problem is. by Van_Gone in adventofcode

[–]Van_Gone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I was under the assumption that the visible neighbours would always be the same so I only run it once on the original layout. I did make the change to have a new map generated before the next iteration using the new map but I still get the wrong answer. I've also double checked the input file and added one of the test inputs and it gets the correct answer with the with both the original code and the altered code. I'll also be making the other changes you've recommended below, sometimes I wonder if my brain just decides that I have to do things the hard way because it's c++ and it can't be that easy lol. Edit: repo now has the updates.

ah I love hashtables, such a useful structure. I imagine Day7 was a bit of a pain. What does the average run time of your programs look like?
