What are you doing now?

Reinstalled fglrx in slackware current after a dissapointing experience with the kms radeon drivers. Yes they do work but way to slow.

Delving in LDIF files ...

Trying to figure out a humane way to the get the raccoon out of my shed for good. I was quite shocked to see it there. The raccoon on the other hand seemed rather unimpressed by my presence...........

Jeebizz · 03-29-2010, 06:18 PM

Maybe spray it with a spray nozzle connected to your garden hose? Or spray it with a fire extinguisher. That should get the little bugger out.

XavierP · 03-29-2010, 06:18 PM

If I remember my Bugs Bunny, you need to get a second raccoon and dress it up in a seductive manner to lure out the first one...

damgar · 03-29-2010, 06:31 PM

That only works for skunks. This is a raccoon......the ones with the masks.

XavierP · 03-29-2010, 07:49 PM

Then you need a fake bank heist to draw him out

Writing a spec for my language, still far from complete:

P.S. I am posting form Konqueror, I see that (unlike Firefox) the upload file text entry is editable, but it asks you to confirm if you want to upload the file to prevent the security concern.

Don't view this with a line-wrapping text editor! I wrote this in a 1360x768 gedit window, and my display size is 1440x900, so it was nearly full screen for me. If you can, turn line wrapping off in your text editor. I apologize if this makes the document hard to read.

I will try to start implementing now.

@MrCode:
I need an example on the syntax of created and accessing classes.

I need an example on the syntax of created and accessing classes.

I believe it would work something like this:

Code:

#When you need to create a class, just declare it like any other structure:#

declare class Test:
    declare var foo,               #All variables/tasks within a class are considered "public";#
    declare var bar,               #I haven't come up with a way of distinguishing between     #
                                   #"public", "private", and "protected" yet.                  #
    declare string txt = "Fooey!",

    declare task InitVars:
        foo = 10,
        bar = 100,
    end task,
end class.

#As for accessing variables and tasks from it, you declare an object of it first (as you would in C++):#

#Note: "main" is not required to be the base task name, but IMO it would be a good convention.#

declare task main:
    declare object Thing from Test,
    do InitVars from Thing,      #Doing a task from within the class using the "from" qualifier#
    print string txt from Thing,      #Printing the string variable#

    #This loop will increase and print the numerical variables within the "Thing" object:#

    declare loop:
        if foo from Thing <= 20:
            print text "foo = ",
            print var foo from Thing,
            print text "\n",

            foo from Thing += 1,

            if bar from Thing >= 0:
                print text "bar = ",
                print var bar from Thing,
                print text "\n",

                bar from Thing += 1,
            end if,
         end if,
     end loop,

     print text "Done.\n",

end task.

do main.

You can also declare classes that are derived from others (i.e. inheritance)

Code:

declare class A:
    declare var foo,
    declare var bar,
end class.

declare class B from A:
    declare var oof,
    declare var rab,
end class.

# ^ class B now has A's contents, plus its own ^ #

This thread is almost 120 pages ! ! !
Anyway, classes are 'half' implemented.
But it compiles simple programs well:

Code:

declare task print_666_point_5:
declare var p=234.25,
op p+=432.25,
print var p,
end task.
do print_666_point_5.

Works.

* = Copies that I actually have and ripped. Not a lot, obviously

Red = Games I think were really cool!

I think perhaps I might want to look at The Daedalus Encounter.

Some of these games I also have on other consoles. I have an actual copy of Gex for PS1, and a downloaded ISO for Win32. Oddly enough, it runs well under XP, and I don't even have to use the compatibility-layer for it. I can just run it and go. Woohoo! I have screenies to prove it.

Wing Commander III was great, and I have an actual copy for PS1, as well as Wing Commander IV. The video quality is better on the PS1. I also have an actual copy of Road Rash for PS1, and The Need For Speed, as well as Need For Speed 2. Then of course it gets ruined by any new incarnations of that, with perhaps the exception of Need For Speed In Hot Pursuit for PS2, that one was ok.

GEX was fine as well, until it was ruined by 3-D.

Also this is interesting: Top 5 3DO games voted.

*sigh*

edit

Yea I also have Brain Dead 13 for PS1 and Win32
