| 00:58 | <@Derakon> | Okay, so scores will be divvied up by course, and further based on the settings used (e.g. turbo, locked reflector, anything else I think of). |
| 00:59 | <@Derakon> | Currently I'm doing this by taking the contents of the course and patterns files, tacking on the options, and taking an MD5 sum of the lot. |
| 00:59 | <@Derakon> | ...wait, duh, I already have the information I need. Okay, ramble cancelled. |
| 01:09 | <@Derakon> | Hmm...wonder if Python does tail-recursion. |
| 01:10 | <@McMartin> | No |
| 01:11 | <@Derakon> | Oh, well. |
| 01:12 | | * Derakon makes the options page modal. |
| 01:13 | <@Serah> | Can I petition for help? |
| 01:13 | <@Serah> | Every time I press ctrl it sticks into an "on" position. |
| 01:13 | <@Derakon> | No need to ask to ask around here. :) |
| 01:13 | <@Serah> | Well, I'm using Vista. |
| 01:13 | <@Derakon> | Sounds like you have sticky keys turned on. |
| 01:14 | <@Serah> | I need to be curteous. |
| 01:14 | <@Serah> | I could swear I turned it off, and it's only ctrl, not shift. |
| 01:14 | <@Derakon> | Well, I'm no Windows expert. |
| 01:14 | <@Derakon> | But doesn't sticky keys apply to all modifier keys, not just shift? |
| 01:14 | <@Serah> | Yes. |
| 01:15 | <@Serah> | Which is why it's odd that only ctrl is wonky. |
| 01:15 | <@Serah> | I even checked the physical keyboard. |
| 01:15 | <@Serah> | Nothing wrong there. |
| 01:15 | <@Derakon> | Ahh. |
| 01:15 | <@Serah> | Must be a vista oddity. |
| 01:16 | <@Serah> | Well, I can fix it by win+l to switch users/lock the computer. |
| 01:16 | <@Serah> | So it's a mere inconvenience. |
| 01:16 | <@Serah> | But it is inconvenient to have to disrupt your work. |
| 01:16 | | * Derakon nods. |
| 01:17 | <@McMartin> | Hm. I wonder if that's like X's broken handling of task-switching in raw mode |

| 20:52 | | * TheWatcher blegh, sets about determining whether use DateTime; or use POSIX qw(strftime); will be faster and use less memory |
| 21:00 | | Vornicus is now known as Finerty |
| 21:06 | <@TheWatcher> | ... okay, quite dramatically won by use POSIX qw(strftime); |
| 21:07 | < Derakon> | cHeh. |
| 21:08 | < Derakon> | Date::Manip is written in pure Perl, IIRC. |
| 21:11 | <@McMartin> | for some reason I keep reading qw(strftime) as "wtftime" |
| 21:12 | < Derakon> | Hmm...simple way to say "This string should be as many asterisks as the length of this other string" in Python? |
| 21:13 | <@Finerty> | stars = '*' * len(other_string) |
| 21:13 | < Derakon> | ...you can multiply strings that way. Fascinating. |
| 21:13 | | * McMartin plays the Dodgesquare theme on his synthesizer. |
| 21:14 | < Derakon> | You got the DS Korg? |
| 21:14 | <@McMartin> | No, I have a cheap Yamaha synthesizer in my apartment. |
| 21:14 | < Derakon> | Ah. |
| 21:14 | <@Finerty> | generally, sequences can be multiplied by an integer n to get n concatenated copies of the sequence. |

| 21:20 | <@McMartin> | Gratz |

| 21:21 | < Derakon> | Vas ist? |
| 21:21 | <@Finerty> | Dodgesquare is a minigame unlockable from WADF |
| 21:21 | < Derakon> | Ahh. |
| 21:22 | <@McMartin> | As for "the actual Dodge Square", the gameplay changes suddenly when you hit 2,500 points. |
| 21:22 | <@McMartin> | And then reverts at 3,500. |
| 21:22 | <@Finerty> | I hatehatehate the chasers. :( |

| 23:14 | < Derakon> | Man, the loading time for Fusillade is starting to annoy me... |

| 23:15 | < Derakon> | So that I can tweak the program and have results show up without blowing away the work of loading 30MB of images. |

| 23:24 | < Derakon> | Frickin' leaderboards rasser frassin'... |
| 23:25 | < Derakon> | (I know they're good ideas, I just find networked code so very tedious) |
| 23:25 | <@ToxicFrog> | (erlang!) |
| 23:25 | < Derakon> | (How does erlang help?) |
| 23:25 | < Derakon> | (I thought it was for paralellization) |
| 23:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | (and distribution. There's no distinction between other parts of the same process, other local processes, and processes on other nodes where message-passing is concerned) |
| 23:26 | < Derakon> | O_o |
| 23:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | (Erlang is your semi-functional god when it comes to making distributed systems.) |
| 23:26 | | * Derakon snerks. |
| 23:27 | <@ToxicFrog> | (and in fact I used it to completely brutalize my distsys course last year, once the prof said we could implement in any language ??) |
| 23:27 | <@ToxicFrog> | As far as the reloading scripts at runtime thing goes, I could have sworn python had a loadfile()-equivalent. |
| 23:27 | <@Finerty> | there's reload() |
| 23:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | I'm 97% sure it has execute(), which should be combinable with file IO to produce dofile() |
| 23:28 | <@Finerty> | only works on already-imported modules; you pass it a module object and it goes and refetches the code for it. |
| 23:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | That sounds just what's useful here, then. |
| 23:29 | < Derakon> | Now the only question is what happens in my other modules that have imported the old module. |
| 23:29 | < Derakon> | Do their references get updated? |
| 23:29 | <@Finerty> | Yes. |
| 23:29 | < Derakon> | Interesting. |
| 23:29 | | * Derakon runs off to bind 'r' on the main menu~ |
| 23:29 | <@TheWatcher[T-2]> | Heheh |
| 23:30 | | You're now known as TheWatcher[zZzZ] |
| 23:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | (in fact, that's pretty slick, and I wish it were as easy in Lua) |
| 23:32 | < Derakon> | Hrm...doesn't seem to work for me... |
| 23:32 | < Derakon> | If I do get it working, that'll make writing Selen very much easier. |
| 23:32 | < Derakon> | Realtime upgrade modifications! |
| 23:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | This is, I note, another place where Erlang excels~ |
| 23:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | I don't know what its SDL bindings are like, though |
| 23:33 | | * Derakon snerks. |
| 23:34 | < Derakon> | Oh, s/Selen/Selene/ |
| 23:39 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Huh? I thought their references *didn't* get updated when you reload a module. At least, AFAIK that's what happens when you try it at Python's REPL. |

| 23:39 | <@Derakon> | http://paste.ubuntu.com/125052/ |

| 23:39 | <@Derakon> | Returning ACTION_RELOAD just resets some state for me. |
| 23:39 | <@Derakon> | But I've tried inserting print statements and nothing changes. |
