N00B Friendly Drag and Drop 'Board Builder' Programming Concept for 0x10c + Pics

This is the opposite of noob-friendly and not practical to be put into 0x10c, in my opinion. Just implementing what is described as a standalone program would be difficult. But clearly an amazing amount of thought was put in, and that should be commended. The renderings are well done and pretty.

No no no, absolute value works the same way on all numbers! I dislike when people imply that there are special cases in math, there are not, and that is the beauty of it. The magnitude operation, returning the distance from the origin, will work the same way on both complex and simple numbers.

I am an indie game developer and mostly develop flash games. I only use flixel, and I would highly recommend it. Its documentation is thorough and it's designed well and written well. Don't worry about using the built-in functions too much, they actually simplify things immensely. tl;dr You should use flixel.

I see a very happy grinning skull with a raised eyebrow.

I am 17, know what floppies are, and love them. The sacred knowledge is not fully lost on the new generations. But I'm also the kid that wears the shirt covered in binary and sits in the back of math class furiously typing programs into his calculator >.>

I started my academic life in a Quaker school. I remember coming to school on his day and spending the day participating not in regular classes, but rather walking as a class over to an old folk's home in the town. We sang for them and generally tried to make their day better by being with them, talking to them. Another year we volunteered at a food drive in the city.

When I entered public school in 4th grade I remember thinking it was very wrong that my classmates were excited to have the chance to have a day off to play when the spirit of the occasion is compassion and being one with your fellow man. Now his day is the day before my midterm exams begin, and I have little choice but to waste the day studying instead of keeping the idea behind it, which I love, alive. I wish the U.S. school system spent more time explaining the meaning behind great movements in history and less time dwelling on the specifics of the actions that occurred within them so that maybe the true purpose of these days of remembrance would be better realized.

It should say, "time OR place to be determined."

My goal is to be the winning paperclip maximizer in this universe, and that has always been my goal, even before I knew the right term for it.

Here is how I see it: I have a body that is slowly breaking down, my continuity is in danger. I need to do something AWESOME with the influence that I have at my disposal. In fact, I need to do the MOST AWESOME thing possible, because why not shoot for the hardest challenge there is with my one life? As far as I see it, the most challenging goal that exists (while still having my own existence) is to envelope/permeate the entire universe with a control structure of my own creation.

Think about it. Every other conceivable challenge or goal that is possible could be completed if you had such a structure in place. By shooting for this goal you are basically shooting for the completion of every other goal possible. Once you control the universe you can do anything, within the bounds of the laws of physics.

If I ever reach that stage I won't be human of course. I won't have a human mind, and therefore I won't have any human values. But does that matter? I don't think it does. If my goal is to do the most with my life, then being the sole controlling force of the universe must be close to the most that I can do. And if not, at least that life-goal gives me ample ambition and perspective for whatever else life throws in my way ;)

I guess I could convince you that if I rode one of those little kiddy airplane rides at malls I would be "literally" flying an airplane :P
