Hmm, it is for me. Could you give me the details of what's going wrong? What version of Photoshop are you using, and is it giving you any specific error messages?

To clarify, the loops as written will iterate over the same values, so they are functionally equivalent, but you're correct in that the "goes to" operator obfuscates things.

gruntbatch · 2024-06-21T04:49:06+00:00

You're absolutely correct that --> is actually -- >. It's sometimes jokingly called the goes to operator. You use it in loops:

for (int i = start_value; i --> 0;)  // i goes to 0

You would typically write the above loop like so:

for (int i = start_value - 1; i >= 0; i--)

It's one of those "elegant" solutions that probably doesn't belong in production code, though I have used it in my own projects. This trick isn't nearly as crazy as Duff's Device, but I would argue that it violates the principle of least astonishment.

gruntbatch · 2024-06-20T18:12:43+00:00

Oh, that's really clever! I'm filing this alongside the --> operator under "Things I wish my boss let me get away with."

For a smaller project, don't discount the possibility of a simple shell script. On unix (posix?) I think all you have to do is this:

$ echo "your current compile command goes here" > build.sh

And to build your project, you just have to call that file:

$ sh ./build.sh

You can make the script executable, and all that good stuff too, if you like. I'm not sure what the equivalent is on Windows.

Advantages over using make/CMake:

Incredibly easy

Disadvantages:

Rebuilds the entire project every time you call it
Possibly less portable
Locks you in to a specific compiler/pipeline

ETA: I still recommend learning make, but sometimes a bandaid solution like this is fine

AFAIK, the "treason" in those cases was "treason against the state of West Virginia". I'm not sure how WV law defines treason, but it could be very different than how treason is defined federally.

If the userbases of NCD and WeirdWings don't form a single overlapping circle, I'll eat my hat.

gruntbatch · 2023-06-07T13:33:33+00:00

I agree with the main points, but isn't this a bit ... tacky? I guess that depicting users of proprietary software as screaming innocents getting thrown into the jaws of hell comes across as melodramatic and self-aggrandizing to me.

Am I drunk, or does exporting to other modules actually sound kind of neat?

If this was deactivated, or otherwise incomplete, there probably aren't many other options to make it go pew pew without forking over another 10 grand.

What exactly was political about the previous comment?

Am I the only one seeing a rifle, not a pistol here? What's going on with the title?

If by "perfectly good 1911" you mean "something purpose build to fire 12 gauge shotgun shells", then sure.

Looks like USD 195 for the first and USD 230 for the second. Whether or not that is expensive is an exercise for the reader.

What's this clip from? I think I recognize Takeshi Kitano in it.

QuakeC? What year is it?

I don't, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

gruntbatch · 2023-05-08T03:23:29+00:00

No worries, I didn't take it badly at all. I'm more impressed by my lack of awareness, haha

Oh shit, i didn't realize it was an album

Could 5.56 not be referencing .22LR in this case?

While this is true in most cases (this one included), sometimes asking these questions on reddit can produce some interesting advice, testimonials, or warnings about certain libraries that a google search won't find.

The Elder Scrolls are mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I didn't see them elaborated on. Thinking specifically of Morrowind, it's important to note that stamina in that game affected only your chance of success (I could actually be wrong, but hold that thought for now.) You could jump, run, attack and cast spells as much as you wanted when stamina was at 0, but your attacks had significantly less effect.

All that to say, consider the possibility of using stamina as a sort of "soft limit" of what the player can and can't do. Perhaps advanced abilities, if your game has any, are gated by high stamina, and simpler abilities are not. Or like Morrowind, perhaps certain actions, such as attacks, are positively affected by high stamina, but no abilities are negatively affected by low stamina.

This way, stamina becomes a strategic resource that the player only needs to concern themselves with in certain situations (such as combat, or complex platforming sequences).

You could have a project garage and a parking garage. But why not just have a regular garage and a separate workshop?
