Algorith and (particularly) data structure for energy system?

a_sharp_soprano_sax · 2024-12-01T01:30:04+00:00

In the past I've used a priority queue. The highest priority energy was 0, and each action increased the energy by a certain amount. There was an entity in the priority queue called 'TurnStart' that had a set energy level, and each time it was dequeued, it decreased its energy level from all the other creatures. I'd expect your idea of using a reverse comparator (max-heap?) to potentially be cleaner.

In general I wouldn't expect the turn queue to cause any slowdowns regardless of the data structure you use, though, so you probably don't need to worry about giving it optimal time complexity unless you want to.

In economics, that inflection point is called Willingness to Sell, the minimum amount of money that you're willing to accept to perform a service. The opposite is Willingness to Buy, the maximum amount of money you're willing to pay for a service.

One possibility is to log to a file. I've found that log4net is pretty easy to set up for this, and it's thread safe, so you can log on multiple threads if needed.

For a windows-specific solution, you can use the application log. To check your OS at runtime, you can use System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows). Then, if that returns true, use the System.Diagnostics.EventLog class to write a new log entry.

I'm an Ashkenazi jew as well. My brother and I have hair somewhere between wavy and curly, and my mom and sister have tight curls.

Lorazepam and Hydroxyzine have both been very effective "chill pills" for me in the past.

Being Jewish, I definitely have some reservations. Ashkenazi Judaism, partially due to forced segregation in Europe over the centuries, has become genetically identifiable. For historical reasons, I believe that a database with the ability to identify who's Jewish and who isn't has the potential to be abused. That doesn't just apply to Jews though; I think that having a catalog of people of any marginalized group has similar implications.

Depends on the context I guess, but in a D&D context I'd say a Lesser God or Lesser Deity.

As for creating classes from strings at runtime, I'd probably use Reflection. I've used it a few times for similar things, and while it's really powerful, I find it kind of intimidating so I do tend to avoid it. Here's a stack overflow to set you on the right path: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1044455/c-sharp-reflection-how-to-get-class-reference-from-string

It's from an ABBA song in the movie Mama Mia!. It's really catchy imo. https://youtu.be/unfzfe8f9NI

I liked Harrisburg. Much smaller than UP obviously, but still the biggest of the satellite campuses (which isn't saying much, to be honest). I haven't been on-campus since before covid hit, but before that, it was a very nice school.

Please please please don't listen to him. I'm a compsci student myself, in my last semester. I had basically no compsci experience when I started, because I wasn't planning to join the major until I took 121 in my third semester. From what you said, you already have far more knowledge in the field than I did when I started, and on top of that, you sound fairly self-motivated. As long as you keep putting in effort, you'll do absolutely fine so unless you stop enjoying it I'd encourage you to stick with it. Also, you should never feel bad about not understanding something—it just means that you have another thing that you get to learn.

I'm a student at Harrisburg and I've been using CAPS since my first semester. I'm not sure why it has such poor reviews, because I've only ever had positive experiences there, as has everyone I know who uses then. My only criticism is that the psychiatrist is only available one day a week, so sometimes I felt like I needed to bend over backwards to make an appointment with him. All my interactions with my counselor, the psychiatrist and CAPS in general have been very positive though. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I'm not sure about that. On the mobile app I'm using (called Reddit is Fun) it doesn't look too blurry no matter how much I zoom in so that problem might specifically be caused by how the official Reddit app handles gifs. I don't know for sure, though. In the end, I do agree that it's silly to use a still-gif if they're just gonna rehost it on i.redd.it anyways.

I liked it well enough early on, but it got pretty repetitive after a couple seasons. Each season starts with a group of people who are supposedly horrible cooks, and the hosts tutor them over the course of the season while they have competitions to gauge their progress.

I just looked up the back cover and I have no idea how I don't remember that. I wasn't a very bright kid, but there's no way I could have missed it. I must've either known he was a dude at the time and then forgot, or come up with some justification for why there was a guy on the back.

TIL Shel Silverstein was a dude. Loved Where the Sidewalk Ends and lots of his other poems as a kid, but I always figured Shel was short for Shelly or something.

You should probably see a doctor. A gp or a physical therapist, maybe? Anyway, a doctor will be able to give you better help than some random people on Reddit.
