So I went back and found a few of Fluffy Rabbit's threads.

A lot of them are almost as funny as "GIMME TEH CODEZ"... in fact, I halfway wonder if he was trying to achieve that sort of infamousness, due to the amount of trolling he did.

If anyone wants a good laugh, just look up his "Game Distribution" threads.

So this dyslexic walks into a bra. Heh.

I got a great joke for you: Windows 8.

I sat down at a cafe and ordered a tea, the waiter comes back with a golf kit. Yeah, that joke was pretty weak, so was the tea.

Got another joke: Windows 8. That one never gets old.

So I'm at a family get-together and there's all these bowls of food set out on the table, real nice spread. Anyway Uncle Mike says, "Pass me some corn," and I get thrown out for calling him a sicko. Not that I could've anyway, I hadn't eaten any corn in like two weeks. Then again, that's one of the mysteries of corn I guess.

So Lauren Faust and Stephanie Meyer are in a room together. I think there's, uh, some bad coincidences there.

A blind guy walks into a bar. "Ouch!" he exclaims rubbing his forehead. Lucky for him the other three heads didn't collide.

So I got this terrible pain in my rear end, right. According to my doctor it's called "nonZero".

Speaking of doctors, I went to one recently and told him I had a pain in my stomach. He said, "Well show me where it hurts," and I replied, "My stomach, duh!"

Two people walked in a bar. They both sued but only one of them got compensation for damages.

So when my grandma told me, "Sorry kid, looks like your folks are splitting," imagine the shock I had when I got home and found only one instead of four.

I really love Python. I think I have said that only 4 times in this thread so far, now that's 5.

Besides Panda3D and PyGame, does anyone know of any game libraries to use with Python? I'd like to try to write a small game in it, something really easy, like Pong.

Ooh wow, what I said could be seen that way, huh?? I pulled a (stupid) prank on my best friend, and it didn't go where I wanted it to. I just hope my friend forgives what I did. :/ It was a harmless prank, but it was still stupid.

Vegas, huh? Don't worry about it. I'm sure he'll forgive you if both of you agree never to bring it up again. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Besides, there's a good chance your friend actually didn't mind when he woke up next morning and discovered that "she" was a "he". Happens in Thailand a lot, too. Hey, it's his fault for being so drunk right? I mean you didn't know he'd actually, you know, with, you know. You just made a phone call dude. No guilt your end. Besides, a good bro forgives, right?

FYI: By being all mysterious and not just saying what you did to your bff, you're digging yourself deeper. The next one's gonna hurt if you don't just fess up.

I can't believe it, but I've been on this forum for the better part of a decade (a little less than 7 years).

It's hard to believe that it was 7 years ago that I first became interested in programming and game development. It's not hard to believe, however, that I still haven't finished one single project in that entire time.

Oh, I've done plenty of demos. In fact, if you to pages 240-300 of this very thread, you'll see me talking about making my level editor in DBP and even posting screenshots. I just never finished it because the scope of the game I wanted to make was bigger than I could program at that current time.

However, now that I know a LOT more about programming, I think I could do it. Not with DBP though, probably Unity, or even Panda3D, since I'm in love with Python at the moment.

We'll see.

I made a complete game excluding my QBasic rubbish (DBP was my first time back coding in years, since teens). So I made this game to teach myself DBP with every intention of then going on to make games I wanted. Well I never made another game so Penisman became my bloody legacy. Gawd I was such an idiot a few years back. Sadly, I actually played through it recently. It's badly coded and very ametuer. Graphics on Stage 1 sucked, but the rest were okay. Problem was I never found anyone who could beat Stage 1

Hmm, SDL is passing around user data in user-defined events as two void pointers...

Quick straw poll:
1) Treat user events completely differently and make them separate from SDL events.

2) Treat them the same and restrict them to the same restrictions (they're unsigned int arrays of data with a size int).

3) Implement custom event queue that handles all non-SDL events.

Which do you think I should do?

Ogre uses the observer pattern where as SDL uses event polls. From what it sounds, you've made the design choice to base your code on event polls, so I think you should go with 3).

@TheComet
Just responded on that thread in DGDK, that code sure does look ugly.

As for my dilemma, I think I'll implement an observer pattern actually. I wish I could use something like Qt's signals and slots feature but that's quite involved(Qt's implementation uses an extra code generator before compilation).

writelines() is a little misleading, because it doesn't append a newline character automatically (\n).

In your case, the most elegant way would be:



https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/inputoutput.html
Quote: "It is good practice to use the with keyword when dealing with file objects. This has the advantage that the file is properly closed after its suite finishes, even if an exception is raised on the way."


Another example, if your function is passed a list of strings instead, the most elegant way to save them all to a file would be:

Their signals/slots are just too good to lose in an observer(or event-driven) system.

I have an interesting question. So on Windows 7 Home Premium (no idea if this works on other OSs or not), if you take the MS Paint shortcut, and open it as 'Raw Data' in Audacity, it sounds very interesting...

Here, I have included a compressed file that includes the audio file and a copy of the Paint shortcut the audio came from.

The audio starts out as mostly just noise, but around 13 seconds, it gets interesting for a second. Then more noise, and then at 28 seconds, there is more interesting stuff. Then there is quite a bit of noise, and at 1:23, things get very very interesting--it sounds like music, and specifically, a trumpet.

Anyone have any clue why this is?? Opening other shortcuts yields a very short bit of white noise. I have tried this on multiple computers, with consistent results.
