Petit Computer Wiki:Chat/Logs/20 September 2013

 [11:58] <0Games> Oh yeah, calc got in the credits for that, [11:58]  nope, let me look [11:59]  oh right, the raycast rpg [11:59]  I gtg [11:59]  I *think* I did [11:59]  Cya all [11:59]  bye [11:59] <0Games> bye [12:00]  bye [12:00] <0Games> I'm still keeping an eye on chat, I'm just putting in some controls. [12:01]  hmm, is it possible to turn off graphics display on one screen only? [12:01]  Erm [12:01]  Are you using the BG? [12:01]  no [12:01]  Shove the GRP behind the BG [12:01]  Fill BG with black [12:02]  heh, that's an idea [12:02]  Profit [12:02] <Calc84maniac> or I could even make a fancy "next" button out of a BG [12:02] <PTC Wikia Bot> Or you could make a scrolling background [12:02] <Calc84maniac> Ace Attorney-style [12:02] <Calc84maniac> lol [12:02] <PTC Wikia Bot> With annoying animated symbols all over it [12:02] <0Games> Calc, some advice- [12:02] <Calc84maniac> I could make it mirror the image on the top screen :P [12:03] <PTC Wikia Bot> Or that [12:03] <Calc84maniac> for no apparent reason whatsoever [12:03] <0Games> if it's Ace Attorney related, add it [12:03] <0Games> lol [12:03] <Calc84maniac> lol [12:03] <PTC Wikia Bot> Hey Calc, how would you sole this problem [12:03] <PTC Wikia Bot> *solve [12:03] <0Games> Reminds me of where I am in that game... [12:03] <PTC Wikia Bot> Let's say you need to spawn something on the edge of the screen... but in a random location [12:04] <Calc84maniac> a random edge location? [12:04] <PTC Wikia Bot> Thus, you're either spawning it with X=RND(256) and Y=0 or 192 [12:04] <PTC Wikia Bot> Or the other way around. [12:04] <PTC Wikia Bot> X=0 or 256, Y=RND(192) [12:04] <Calc84maniac> do you want equal probabilities for each side of the screen, or equal probabilities for each possible spawn point? [12:05] <PTC Wikia Bot> Equal probabilities for each point [12:05] <0Games> Apocalypse Rising advances its lines of code quickly... [12:05] <0Games> 59 currently [12:05] <Calc84maniac> okay, so you'd probably want to do something like RND(256+256+192+192) and do some comparisons to get the actual spawn point [12:06] <PTC Wikia Bot> Hmm... that's an idea [12:06] <Sparkystream> !logs [12:06] <Sparkystream> stupid bot DX [12:06] <Sparkystream> needs more codes [12:06] <PTC Wikia Bot> What happened? [12:06] <Sparkystream> nothing [12:06] <PTC Wikia Bot> It's a new day, so there's a new log [12:06] <PTC Wikia Bot> "new day" somewhere [12:06] <Sparkystream> iw as testing wikia bot to see if it had functions [12:06] <PTC Wikia Bot> Oh, don't do loggin! [12:07] <PTC Wikia Bot> *logging [12:07] <Sparkystream> im not [12:07] <Sparkystream> im testing urs [12:07] <Sparkystream> to see how many commands it has [12:07] <0Games> SPREAD is a lot more useful than I thought. [12:07] <Calc84maniac> great, I just made it impossible to save the game :P [12:07] <PTC Wikia Bot> Calc, what if you wanted each side to have equal probabilities [12:07] <Sparkystream> if u eneter it with the command [12:07] <PTC Wikia Bot> How? [12:07] <Sparkystream> it will klink whoecver said it to the logs [12:07] <Sparkystream> idk [12:07] <Sparkystream> http://sactage.wikia.com/wiki/Program%3AChatbot%2FCommands [12:07] <TwinArmageddonz> IF LOG!=PTCWIKIA THEN @TURTLES ELSE GOTO @NOTURTLES [12:07] <Calc84maniac> in that case you'd probably do RND(4) to select the side [12:08] <Sparkystream> what? [12:08] <Calc84maniac> you could even use that super-convenient ON command [12:08] <Sparkystream> !commands [12:08] <Sparkystream> ... [12:08] <PTC Wikia Bot> Lol ON [12:08] <Lumage> Which would be a better buy, one of the newer Professor Layton games, or a DS Ace Attorney? [12:08] <Calc84maniac> ON RND(4) GOSUB @TOP,@LEFT,@BOTTOM,@RIGHT [12:08] <TwinArmageddonz> ace attorney [12:08] <Calc84maniac> Ace Attorney is way better imo [12:08] <0Games> Ace Attorney, no contest. [12:08] <PTC Wikia Bot> Aww, that's too many labels. I was going to do it with math [12:09] <Lumage> Now another question, how many of you have actually played both? [12:09] <0Games> though if you have a 3DS, Dual Destinies is here. [12:09] <TwinArmageddonz> i have too many labels and GOSUBs in aottg so it randomly runs out of memory [12:09] <PTC Wikia Bot> Running out of memory means you're using GOSUB when you meant to use GOTO [12:09] <0Games> I've only played Ace Attorney, not Professor Layton. [12:09] <Calc84maniac> I've played all released Ace Attorney games, and I've 100%'d the third Professor Layton game [12:09] <PTC Wikia Bot> You can half an absolutely ridiculous amount of labels [12:09] <TwinArmageddonz> really? [12:10] <PTC Wikia Bot> *have [12:10] <Calc84maniac> yeah, I've done it before [12:10] <PTC Wikia Bot> Yes, if you GOSUB without a return, or you RETURN out of a FOR loop, you'll eventually run out of memory [12:10] <Calc84maniac> with some procedurally generated code :P [12:10] <PTC Wikia Bot> The latter is really stupid [12:10] <Calc84maniac> like, a label on every other line [12:10] <PTC Wikia Bot> They didn't need to keep a state for FOR loops. Goodnes [12:10] <0Games> Woah, my DSi screens went black and then in color again... :O [12:10] <Calc84maniac> yeah, they should have flushed FORs upon RETURNs [12:11] <CoinzChatbotTESTING> brb trying to reload java stuff [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> @LOOP [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> IF STUFF THEN GOSUB @A [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> VSYNC 1 [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> GOTO @LOOP [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> @A [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> IF STUFF THEN @B [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> RETURN [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> would this cause it to run out of memory [12:11] <PTC Wikia Bot> It could [12:11] <Calc84maniac> if @B never returns [12:11] <PTC Wikia Bot> Depending on where B is [12:11] <PTC Wikia Bot> Or if B jumps back to LOOP without returning [12:11] <Calc84maniac> yeah, that ^ [12:11] <TwinArmageddonz> b goes back to loop =.= [12:12] <PTC Wikia Bot> Never [12:12] <PTC Wikia Bot> Ever [12:12] <PTC Wikia Bot> Do [12:12] <PTC Wikia Bot> That [12:12] <Calc84maniac> ah, that could be the problem :P [12:12] <0Games> 65 lines of code. Time for a little test-play. [12:12] <TwinArmageddonz> so i have to change it to gosubs :/ [12:12] <PTC Wikia Bot> No [12:12] <TwinArmageddonz> ? [12:12] <PTC Wikia Bot> GOSUBS are only meant for code that (generally) only has one exit [12:12] <CoinzChatbotTESTING> well time to try another way of doing this.. hmmm [12:12] <PTC Wikia Bot> And it wants to exit back to the place it came [12:12] <Calc84maniac> replace your GOTO @LOOP after @B with a RETURN [12:12] <PTC Wikia Bot> If you're just going to jump around, I'd use GOSUB [12:13] <TwinArmageddonz> okay ill try it [12:13] <Calc84maniac> GOTO* [12:13] <Lumage> Ok, one more thing, which Ace Attorney would you say is the best? I have not played one, so It can't be the hardest one! [12:13] <0Games> Ah! Missing operands everywhere! [12:13] <PTC Wikia Bot> Yeah that [12:13] <Calc84maniac> Lumage, start at the beginning [12:13] <Calc84maniac> and go in order [12:13] <PTC Wikia Bot> Lol I can't even type anymore. I need rest [12:13] <Calc84maniac> their stories connect [12:13] <Sparkystream> hey random,will u mostly use the bot as ur main accont? [12:13] <Lumage> Oh. [12:13] <PTC Wikia Bot> No [12:13] <Sparkystream> it seems like u have been [12:13] <Sparkystream> kk [12:13] <PTC Wikia Bot> I'm just supposed to be doing other things [12:13] <Sparkystream> ok [12:13] <PTC Wikia Bot> But I'm procrastinating lol [12:14] <Calc84maniac> :P [12:14] <Lumage> Well, I do know the style of game it is. [12:14] <PTC Wikia Bot> All right, I need to get stuff done [12:14] <0Games> Something is wrong with my controls. [12:14] <0Games> Ohhh, maybe it's what is moving WHEN THE BUTTONS ARE PRESSED, oh... [12:14] <Lumage> Btw, someone made a Ace Attorney parody game with philosophy intead of law stuff. [12:15] <Lumage> It's a flash game. [12:15] <0Games> Has anyone checked out my link for Spartaman 2? that flash game is hilarious. [12:15] <TwinArmageddonz> 1984 lines of code d: my goal is 2013 [12:15] <Lumage> I think it was called... [12:16] <0Games> one short Megaman 2 level playing as a spartan, and you are invincible, and when you run into something, ot dies. [12:16] <Lumage> "Socrates Jones, Pro Philosopher". [12:17] <0Games> At the boss, fire to yell Sparta! and the boss blows up. [12:17] <Lumage> http://www.kongregate.com/games/chiefwakamakamu/socrates-jones-pro-philosopher [12:17] <0Games> I copied off controls from the tutorial thread and it doesn't work! [12:17] <Lumage> It's pretty good. [12:18] <0Games> I'll open it up. [12:18] <TwinArmageddonz> 0Games how much do you know about SmileBASIC? [12:18] <0Games> It's loading. [12:18] <TwinArmageddonz> if apocalypse rising is your first game on ptc you're gonna have a bad time [12:18] <0Games> Not TOO much. I began only a month or two ago. [12:19] <TwinArmageddonz> do you know sprite control? [12:19] <0Games> I know a moderate amount about this. [12:19] <0Games> Sprites I have a little problem with at times. [12:19] <TwinArmageddonz> oh [12:19] <Lumage> If you are a noob at smilebasic and don't start with a text based QA thing or Tetris, you're gonna have a bad time. [12:20] <0Games> After my Gladiators experiences, I'm a little prepared. [12:20] <TwinArmageddonz> ok [12:20] <0Games> iI never did start with simple stuff [12:20] <TwinArmageddonz> same [12:21] <TwinArmageddonz> i had a really bad time [12:21] <Lumage> No one ever does. [12:21] <PTC Wikia Bot> I did [12:21] <TwinArmageddonz> i started trying to make a virtual fish tank [12:21] <PTC Wikia Bot> I made simple stuff for ages lol [12:21] <TwinArmageddonz> i didnt even know about variables i just knew PRINT and CLS [12:21] <0Games> Lol, not now. Programmers who have worked with this when we weren't making really cool games did. [12:21] <Calc84maniac> I'm pretty sure I more-or-less started with Minesweeper :P [12:21] <Lumage> I started with an Eevee. [12:22] <0Games> I began a complicated game right away... [12:22] <Lumage> That could shrink [12:22] <Lumage> then I started Obliviation Call. [12:23] <0Games> At first when I planned Gladiators I thought about a weapons shop but I decided against it. [12:23] <TwinArmageddonz> that would be cool [12:23] <BonChoi> Hello [12:23] <TwinArmageddonz> what made you change your mind? [12:23] <TwinArmageddonz> hi bonechoy [12:23] <BonChoi> XD BonChoi [12:23] <TwinArmageddonz> bonechoy [12:24] <BonChoi> No, BonChoi [12:24] <TwinArmageddonz> no, bonechoy [12:24] <BonChoi> No, BONCHOI [12:24] <TwinArmageddonz> no, BONECHOY [12:24] <0Games> I'll make Gladiators again. But for now Apocalypse Rising is gonna be my first. [12:24] <BonChoi> NO ITS BONCHOI [12:25] <0Games> Lol, Bonechoy... [12:25] <TwinArmageddonz> good luck [12:25] <TwinArmageddonz> no its bonechoy [12:25] <0Games> This is hilarious, [12:25] <BonChoi> Are you in charge of my name? NOOOOPPPEEEE [12:25] <TwinArmageddonz> oh sorry its boogregrghnechoooooaoaofgoeoooi [12:25] <BonChoi> Close enough [12:26] <TwinArmageddonz> ye [12:26] <BonChoi> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!

[12:27] <Calc84maniac> whaaa [12:27] <Sparkystream> meow [12:27] <Calc84maniac> I fixed a glitch by changing BUTTON to BUTTON(0) [12:27] <Sparkystream> next songs,zzyex [12:27] <Calc84maniac> that doesn't seem right [12:28] <0Games> Doesn't it auto set that? [12:28] <0Games> [12:28] <Calc84maniac> yeah, that's what's so weird [12:28] <BonChoi> %20Oh%20No [12:28] <Calc84maniac> oh, never mind [12:28] <Calc84maniac> it wasn't fixed after all [12:29] <Lumage> Goodbye again. [12:29] <BonChoi> What's a chatbot? [12:29] <Sparkystream> bye lumage [12:29] <BonChoi> Cya [12:30] <0Games> Three people active... [12:31] <Sparkystream> yep [12:31] <Sparkystream> so,who are u 0?'w' [12:31] <Sparkystream> todays my first day seeing you here [12:35] <0Games> I joined this morning, you can find me on Nintendo Life. [12:36] <Sparkystream> Oh,Ok [12:36] <Sparkystream> I dont use NL [12:39] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Hello, folks. [12:39] <BonChoi> Hi [12:39] <Sparkystream> hi satl [12:39] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> You joined this morning? [12:39] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Welcome. [12:39] <Sparkystream> im getting to ur songs soon [12:39] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Thanks. [12:39] <0Games> Hello, Doctor. [12:39] <Sparkystream> i finished my over 115 files for yoshi today [12:39] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> It is no big deal, just when you get a moment. [12:39] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Nice. [12:39] <Sparkystream> finished my 8 for epic [12:39] <BonChoi> What is a chatbot? [12:40] <Sparkystream> doing my 8 for zyexx [12:40] <Sparkystream> my 16 for u [12:40] <Sparkystream> then coinz [12:40] <0Games> Well, i guess that's enough for today... [12:40] <Sparkystream> and soome guy [12:40] <Sparkystream> what game are u using it for satl?'w' [12:40] <BonChoi> How do I make a chatbot?!??? [12:41] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Another fellow just asked me that. [12:41] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> There is a fellow who hosts bots for you. [12:41] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> If you send him a message explaining why you should have one, etc, he might host one for you. [12:41] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> The music, Sparky? [12:41] <Sparkystream> huh? [12:42] <Sparkystream> yeah [12:42] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> I have been in the process of designing a Doctor Who game. [12:42] <Sparkystream> just curious [12:42] <BonChoi> Who is that? And what does a chatbot do? [12:42] <Sparkystream> oh cool [12:42] <Sparkystream> i know its a tv show,but i dont watch it [12:42] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> I am sorry, I don't remember his username. Chatbots do tons of stuff, depending on what you code it to do. [12:42] <Calc84maniac> Who is who? [12:42] <BonChoi> Hmm... [12:42] <Sparkystream> here u go [12:42] <Sparkystream> http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/User:Sactage -Bonchoi [12:43] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> One very good one that I saw had the ability to talk, log chat, moderate, and with a command, tell you when it last saw a certain user on chat. [12:43] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Yeah, it was Sactage. [12:43] <BonChoi> I think it might be Brian [12:43] <Sparkystream> Nope [12:43] <BonChoi> The [12:43] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> You should try watching Doctor Who. [12:43] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> It is pretty cool. [12:44] <Sparkystream> whats it about? [12:44] <BonChoi> I &lt;3 Doctor Who [12:44] <BonChoi> Going to message the guy [12:44] <Calc84maniac> I still can't tell who is who. [12:44] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> It is a show that has been running for 50 years about a Time Lord known as the Doctor who can regenerate and travel through time... It is hard to explain in a sentance. xD [12:45] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> If you have Netflix, you should really watch it. [12:45] <Sparkystream> do you? [12:45] <Sparkystream> i used o,but cant use nf anymore [12:46] <BonChoi> I wonder if I could code one for my practice... [12:46] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> I love Netflix. [12:46] <Sparkystream> i asked on here if anybody had one bfore,but i havent asked you,would u mind allowing my 3ds to use it? [12:46] <BonChoi> Just need to know how they work [12:46] <Sparkystream> meaning theres no extra cost,but im getting it free [12:46] <Sparkystream> no extra to you [12:46] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Sorry, but I can't. I use my dad's account, and he would not be too happy. [12:46] <Sparkystream> oh,ok,sorry [12:46] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Nah, its OK. [12:47] <Sparkystream> i thought it was urs,meaning they bought it for you [12:47] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Yeah. I get a free ride off of my dad. xD [12:47] <Sparkystream> i used to have mine free because i found an account unline [12:47] <Sparkystream> *online [12:47] <Sparkystream> but after my sister put poop on my 3ds,i without thinkingWASHED it off with WATER&lt;which broke it [12:47] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Ow. :S [12:48] <Sparkystream> then i got it repaired,and i was disconnected from nf [12:48] <Sparkystream> when i got this new one,it wasnt connecting correctly,so i redownloaded,and it was disconnected [12:48] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> That sucks.
