Making a game and playing a game are two very different things you know. The possibilities when making a game are literally boundless.

>>55525527
>The possibilities when making a game are literally boundless
so they are when making any computer program, lol
>>55525527
Also why make a game when it's probably going to be shit anyways, instead of just program something applying to real world problems instead of wasting time on developing the game.
>>55525599
Because one person can make a small game, whereas the smallest real-world problem requires a team of programmers.
>>55525599
I can take your logic and apply it in reverse. Why program a real world application when everybody has already done it better. Might as well make a game because it will be fun to make and at the very least may be fun to play even if it isn't very creative or new.
Why make anything for literally any reason when it might be shit.

Unused memory is wasted memory.
>>55525630
My thinking as well. If you make a game then it's at least original in some sense. Even if it is highly derivative, nobody really cares.
With a useful application, first you have to start with research. Find the company that's already done that program, and then after that there's no legitimate reason to duplicate that effort.

Let's use product orders as an example.

>>55525995
To insert the values into the table you can do something likeinsert into orders(primary_arbitrary_key, order_number, product_id, customer_id)
select **arbitrary_key_value**, **order_number_value**, prod.product_id, cust.customer_id
from (
select product_id
from products
where product_name = 'foobar'
) as cust,
(
select customer_id
from customers
where customer_name = 'Bob"
) as prod
The problem here isn't whether you select the values every time or compute it beforehand, at least for a simple schema like this. The Optimizers are quite good and can produce good running times if the logic in the provided qurey isn't weird or extreme. The problem is that there is no way in the provided schema to store the information about the amount of products in the order. there is only the 'kind' of the products in the order

The compute time isn't what I'm concerned about, it's the time it would take a human being to enter each order. Needing to type out 12 lines for every order is kind of time prohibitive.
tl;dr: Is there an already existing feature or program to automatically turn "Bob" and "foobar" into their correct id's and enter them on the correct table, or do I need to write something from the ground up?

Can SQL Server be run on non-Windows hosts yet?
>>55527497
You could always inherit from SDL_Point, add the functionality you need, and whenever a native SDL function requires it, your type will work as well.
In terms of language design, what would you consider "essential" abstract data types? I'm thinking of dictionaries (cover the same uses as arrays and dictionaries), immutable directed acyclic graphs (cover the same uses as (linked) lists and trees) and sets. What else would you include?

Hey, basic programming question, I'd appreciate if someone could help me out.
in C# and XNA,
Maybe I'm just dumb.
I have a class called Paddle, which I use to generate an object called paddle.
I have another class called Ball. I want a function in ball that puts the location at the middle of the paddle. I can't use the object paddle to reference it though (to find where the paddle is on the screen). Why not? It says "paddle does not exist in this current context", so how do I pass the information to the class?
Maybe someone doesn't mind sharing any info they have about this particular question, and maybe it's a dumb question, but I am trying to write a simple text compression program in java. Yes, I know this is completely pointless from the standpoint that there are a thousand programs that will do this, but I'm sort of just trying to brush up on my programming in general, so bear with me.
I'm familiar the math behind David Huffman's algorithm. I can compute the frequencies of the characters in the source alphabet, and am using a priority queue to generate the binary representation of each character based on it's relative frequency. Here is my possible stupid question: how do you output the 1's and 0's as single bits?
>>55527141
I learned Lambda calculus without realizing that I learned it. It's basically functional programming using only mathematical expressions.
Seriously, if you know functional programming, read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus#Informal_description

>>55528417
Strictly speaking, it programming is all just abstracted binary math...
But yeah, that's a stretch from the things that most programmers actually do. Also, math itself can be "applied math" when it is used for something.

If you don't have any options right now, I recommend getting on Github and working on some of your own side projects or contributing to things.
Also, while you are doing that, brand yourself online well. Brag about your awesome work, and put it on things like Stack Overflow Careers or LinkedIn. If you are the writing type, make a blog--even a Jekyll one on Github pages will do, and write about development topics that interest you.
Essentially, if you put yourself out there and have things you can show to employers, it is pretty damn easy finding work. Actually, recruiters start coming out of the woodwork if you do it enough.

At a basic level, you can describe ML with AI.
For example, when making an AI for a board game, one of the strategies for writing an AI player is to write something called a "Minmax" algorithm, which basically is where the computer looks through possible moves in the board, and then runs each possibility through a function--and that function returns a number saying how good or bad that board position is. After getting a bunch of good candidates, it then does the same thing for all the possible follow-up moves for the player, except looks for the one that gives the player the lowest possible score.
Simple right?
The problem is, how to you write a function that rates a board? There are all kinds of strategies and heuristics for this. You can make winning moves have a nearly infinite score, and make losing moves nearly negative infinite... There is also detracting points for vulnerabilities, or adding them for obvious advantages...
...but one strategy, is Machine Learning.
Imagine if every time a computer lost, it noted its moves in a database or something, and penalized those positions, so the next time, the computer would be less likely to do that thing. You could make a computer get better at the game with experience!
That is machine learning, basically.

I am working on a shitty Tamagotchi clone with Pokemon. (Maybe I'll try uploading the right file this time!)
>>55531038
Looks cute, have a repo?
>>55531038
Good lord...I am having the worst luck with videos.
Why did that truncate?
>>55531038
Can you abandon pokemon until they die?
>>55531046
Aye: https://github.com/Archenoth/Pokegotchi
>>55531052
Yes... Basically if they are not fed, or are sick for too long, they will die.
>>55531069
The whole thing was practice for canvas, and it is actually functionally complete... But there aren't too many part of it that are overly visual, so actually playing it can get kinda boring.
>>55531215
How's the pokegotchi's info stored?
>>55531236
The state of the Pokemon is just inside of the Pokemon object (It's not specific to Pichu).
Pokemon objects contain things like the Pokemon's stats, as well as members that point to the game engine, the canvas context, to an interface object, and so on...
It's not persisted though. I am thinking of making it use cookies though, so I am probably going to pack as much data as I can into a small space so I can just put it anywhere without going over the Cookie size limit, even if a site already uses it.
>>55531215
>gender: male
How many genders are there?
>>55531311
Just your normal Pokemon fare, 2.
I put that in there because some Pokemon are different between males and females. For example, Meowstics.
I found an old file with a bunch of ideas in it from years ago, and there was one that needed the Billboard API to find the top 100 at any date. But that shit is dead now. Anyone know of something I can use as a substitute? Is there a big fuckin' spreadsheet out there compiled by a supreme autist every week?

Changed up the searching a bit. I think it looks and functions alright, though its hard to tell when I've been staring at the same shit for hours.

what's the best data structure that allows elements to be very far apart with no wasted memory for the null areas, but also allows for quick random access?
>>55532007
depends
you could use a dequeue or a vector of vectors or something

how do I check if the two consecutive bits of a number are set. Like say
>00000110
I want to check those two bits. Right now Im thinking something likeint x=6;
if ( ((x>>1) &3) == 3)
cout<<"true";
>>55530119
elp
>>55532058
>>55532049
my problem is I have a bunch a structs with data that need to maintain numerical order, but can be placed randomly into an array, but reading it is linear. The array would look something like this:{1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16}
but I wish to store it like this{1, 2, 9, 10, 16}
A linked list fits the bill perfectly, but I cannot easily insert a random element and have it be in the right order without iterating O(n).
would a hash table work?
>>55532078
If no two consequtive bits are set, ((x>>1) & x) == 0.
>>55532205
Well Im actually decoding a word so Im checking indexed bits and not just if two bits are set consecutively. But judging from the fact that you used the same general method of looking at the bits Ill assume this is how its normally done.
What is the most portable version of C? Is it ANSI?
>>55532680
C89
>>55532680
C89, though pretty much every compiler supports features from C99 as extensions because they're so handy.
In fact, the entireity of C99 and C11 was based on standardizing GNU C extensions in GCC.

I've seen this in Python as well. Why is it done? Why not just write a comment instead?

>>55532795
it's more portable that java
>>55528010
Not in R2 you won't motherfucker
>>55532761
In Common Lisp, those are actually the documentation for the function, and you can get them with a (documentation ...) call.
Also, the documentation pops up in things like Autocomplete when you are typing elsewhere. It is very handy. (If that makes sense..?)
>>55532740
I just lurk the forums desu
>>55532907
Is this an emacs-specific thing that expanded to other editors because emacs did it, or is there a reason that regular comments can't be used as doc comments?

>>55532954
Ketmar seems like the kind of asshole that would
>>55532971
Can you guess who I am?
>>55532936
Nope, it's actually built into the language that way.
(defun ...) creates a function and assigns it in the current namespace, and it has a "documentation slot" that will be filled with any string that is put after the arguments list if it exists.
Without Emacs, you can just pull it right from the function argument, or use (documentation ...)
I am looking for a container data structure of sorts. Anything I call a set has constant-time lookup and can be traversed.
The elements I need to put in the data structure will have a a function defined that produces a set of tags. The following operations should be supported:
Insertion: Reasonably fast. I will be inserting probably 1000 elements at most and it shouldn't take more than a few seconds.
Lookup: I will want to index into the container using a set of tags. The result should be a set of elements, each of which has their tags being a subset of the tag set used to index the container. I would hope this is at most linear in the number of tags in the index or tag-sets of elements, and sublinear in the number of elements in the container. There is a trivial solution to be linear in both the tag-set size (of the elements) and linear in the container size: Just iterate through each element and check if each of the element's tags are in the index set.
More often than not lookups will not result in any matches.

>>55533058
Really though, I am excited that `scope` and `return` are finally getting implemented properly so I can write safer non-GC code. Times are exciting.
>>55532795
C is one of the most portable languages.
Can Java run on non 8-bit byte computers?
>>55533080
Quite a few things to get excited about (what do you mean about those btw, I haven't seen news about them). Cleaner documentation seems to be a bigger focus, DUB is going to be shipped with dmd

>what do you mean about those btw
`scope` is an old concept that was mostly un-implemented until now. A scope variable cannot be assigned to a variable in an outer scope. Ex:void main()
{
int* p1;
{
scope int* p2 = new int;
p1 = p2; //Error
}
}
`return` is fairly new. @safe functions that accept an argument by ref cannot return that argument anymore unless it is annotated as a `return ref` (this is inferred for template functions). Ex:@safe:
ref int fun(ref int a) { return a; } // ERROR
ref int gun(return ref int a) { return a; } // FINE
ref T hun(T)(ref T a) { return a; } // FINE, templates use deduction

I wish C had anonymous scope
it would make large functions much less of a mess

what name should I use for a function that allocates all that needs to be allocated in a struct?
It can't be "init_struct" because allocation shouldn't be mixed with initialization.
What if you want to initialize the struct again without reallocating?
alloc_struct?
but that implies I am allocating the struct itself, which has already been done.
why does naming have to be literally the hardest part of programming?
>>55533709
alloc_struct_members?

this is alright
I would normally allocate the members along with the struct, but I am working with an array of structs

Brand new to this whole python GUI thing but I could really use some guidance on this. My program is slowing exponentially the more elements it loads, I think. I put a comment at the worst bit.

i am trying to convert the temp value to int, the library i am using is SparkFun MLX90614. It is not working for me. any help? this line i am trying to make spit out the int.
Serial.print("Object: " + String(therm.object(), 2));
>>55534197
Can you already convert it to a string?
If so, what does it look like?
