| 00:01 | <@Derakon> | Ehhh, more important fish to fry right now. |
| 00:01 | <@Derakon> | I'll return to this later. |
| 00:05 | <@Finerty> | Alternatively you can make Really Cheap images to load for testing purposes. |
| 00:08 | <@Derakon> | Yeah... |
| 00:09 | <@gnolam> | Is it possible to write use cases that don't read like really poor children's stories? |
| 00:10 | <@Finerty> | heh |
| 00:10 | <@Derakon> | Don't put "And everyone worked happily ever after" at the end~ |
| 00:11 | <@Derakon> | ...heh. |
| 00:11 | <@Derakon> | If I try to send a score of 0 to the server, it complains that it's missing the required parameter 'score'. |
| 00:11 | <@gnolam> | Hah. |
| 00:11 | | * Derakon slips a 'defined' into a conditional. |
| 00:13 | <@gnolam> | Strangely, it's even worse when you're writing use cases with non-human actors. |
| 00:14 | <@Derakon> | We have a tendency to anthropomorphize computers and programs. |
| 00:14 | <@gnolam> | You just can't avoid the "See Spot run"-ness of it. |
| 00:14 | <@Derakon> | Though in my case it's usually things like "The script will gleefully overwrite half the database if X happens..." |
| 00:15 | <@gnolam> | "The radiation source sends a dose quantum to the player. See the radiation source irradiate!" |
| 00:16 | | * Derakon snickers. |
| 00:16 | <@Derakon> | Irradiate, source, irradiate! |
| 00:21 | <@Derakon> | ...why is urllib.urlencode postpending "-0-1%0A" to my query string? |
| 00:22 | <@Finerty> | O.o |
| 00:23 | <@Derakon> | The last thing in the query string is the course key, IHjR0wG6jZoIcKIRr1zMPw. |
| 00:23 | <@Derakon> | But there's no special characters in that. |
| 00:24 | | * TheWatcher[zZzZ] eyes Dera, reminds him to check unless(defined($score)) rather than just unless($score), given that undef, "" and 0 are all false |
| 00:24 | <@Derakon> | TW: yeah, got that already~ |
| 00:25 | <@Derakon> | I wouldn't consider it a problem for scores of 0 to be invalid, but your loop could also be 0. |
| 00:25 | <@TheWatcher[zZzZ]> | Just making sure, the number of times that's caught me befor enow and caused a facepalm ¬¬ |

| 02:21 | <@Derakon> | What's the proper way to determine if a number is a valid index into a list in Python? |
| 02:21 | <@Derakon> | Just check it against the length? |
| 02:21 | <@Derakon> | I was going to do "foo in bar", but that would check against bar's values, not indices. |
| 02:22 | <@Vornicus> | Essentially, yes. |

| 18:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | Molgorn: why are you using PHP, incidentally? |
| 18:47 | <@Derakon> | Hell, I wasn't aware that you did programming at all. |
| 18:47 | < Molgorn> | I'm using PHP scripts to grab data from a MySQL db and output it as XML so it'll play nice with XUL for a Firefox extension |
| 18:47 | < Molgorn> | in theory |
| 18:48 | < Molgorn> | Der: I don't, as much as I can help |
| 18:48 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well, that's what, but it doesn't answer why |
| 18:48 | <@ToxicFrog> | PHP is full of spiders ;.; |
| 18:48 | < Molgorn> | Because I know even less of any other potential thing I could use to achieve the same end. |
| 18:48 | <@AnnoDomini> | ToxicFrog: That emoticon is a spider. |
| 18:52 | <@Derakon> | Heh. So it is. |
| 18:52 | <@Derakon> | Oh, hey, it's March! |
| 18:52 | <@Derakon> | I can download sounds again! <3 |
| 18:55 | < Molgorn> | Hm. My current incarnation will happily take "grabUser.php?field=user_id&value=1" and return the information for the user with id 1; but it won't take "grabUser.php?field=firstname&value=Test" and return the same information |
| 18:55 | < Molgorn> | Given that the user with id 1 is Test Testerson, I find this odd |
| 18:55 | <@AnnoDomini> | Check for spaces in the entry? |
| 18:57 | < Molgorn> | The DB entry? |
| 18:57 | <@AnnoDomini> | Yes. |
| 18:57 | < Molgorn> | None there |
| 18:58 | <@TheWatcher> | Are you quoting appropriately? |
| 18:58 | <@TheWatcher> | In your sql query |
| 18:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Also, is it matching literally? |
| 18:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Oh, wait |
| 18:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Sorry, misread the field |

| 19:02 | < Molgorn> | The query that worked for user_id is $query = SELECT * FROM User WHERE ".$field." = ".$value; |
| 19:02 | <@Derakon> | Eeeegh. |
| 19:02 | <@Derakon> | Okay, you need to escape your variables. |

| 19:03 | <@Molgorn> | Der, there'll be time for shiny stuff once I've got a cacky version that does something ¬¬ |
| 19:04 | <@Derakon> | The cacky version must include escaping variables. |

| 19:04 | <@TheWatcher> | AD: This is why you should *never ever* allow user access to that sort of thing. |
| 19:05 | <@AnnoDomini> | Yes. |

| 19:16 | <@Derakon> | Okay, thoughts on client/server interactions for scoring. Ramble incoming. |
| 19:17 | <@Derakon> | Client sends most recent scores to server. Server saves client score to database, retrieves top 3 scores plus 1 score on either side of client's score. Returns each score. A score entry consists of the rank, name, score, survival time, loop number, and final pattern. |
| 19:17 | <@Derakon> | Client can also request scores from the server. In that case, server returns top 3 scores plus 1 score on either side of client's highest-ever score. |
| 19:17 | <@Derakon> | In either case, server also tells client the client's highest-ever rank. |
| 19:18 | <@Derakon> | Does this all sound plausible? |

| 19:29 | | * Derakon ponders MySQL. |
| 19:30 | <@Derakon> | The highscores table has a column 'score', naturally. I have a score. I want to find where that score goes in the table, as well as what "rank" it has compared to adjacent scores. |
| 19:31 | <@Derakon> | E.g. a table having scores [15, 12, 9, 6, 3] and a new score 8, I want to get 9 and 6 out, and know that the ranks are 3, 4, and 5. |
| 19:31 | <@Derakon> | How the hell do I do that?! |
| 19:32 | <@AnnoDomini> | Bubble sort? |
| 19:32 | <@Derakon> | Let me rephrase: how do I do this without pulling the entire contents of the database down? |
| 19:40 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Hrmn. Don't most databases use b-trees for indexes? |
| 19:40 | | * gnolam smacks AnnoDomini. |
| 19:41 | <@MyCatVerbs> | And most enough any search-tree structure gives you "find next" and "find previous" with pretty good time bounds, provided the nodes have parent pointers. |
| 19:42 | <@AnnoDomini> | gnolam: WHAT. |
| 19:43 | <@MyCatVerbs> | AnnoDomini: perhaps just the sheer lack of situations in which bubble sort is appropriate? Not to mention the idea of pulling down the whole database. |
| 19:43 | <@MyCatVerbs> | AnnoDomini: I mean you may as well suggest towers-of-hanoi-sort. |

| 19:47 | <@AnnoDomini> | Slim Shady Sorting Algorithm! |
| 19:47 | <@Vornicus> | Der: select count(score), min(score) from high_scores where course = my_course AND score > my_score; |
| 19:47 | <@Vornicus> | Will get you most of that. |
| 19:48 | <@Vornicus> | oh, there's some random-ass group by you have to add, but I don't remember how to group on all of them. |
| 19:49 | <@Derakon> | That query's intended to get me, what? |
| 19:49 | <@Derakon> | The number of scores and the lowest score? |
| 19:49 | <@gnolam> | XKCD's "ass" comic strikes again. |
| 19:49 | <@Derakon> | Oh, the scores above the score I'm inserting, I see. |

| 21:59 | < Reiv> | So, um. |
| 21:59 | <@AnnoDomini> | Soso. |
| 21:59 | < Reiv> | I need an Idiots Guide To Tree Structures In Java. |
| 22:00 | < Reiv> | I'm not sure why, but while the concept of a tree on paper seems trivial, how to get it working in actual code baffles me. |
| 22:01 | <@TheWatcher> | They're kinda like trees everywhere else, except that they are well adapted to the volcanic soils. |
| 22:01 | <@TheWatcher> | ¬¬ |
| 22:02 | | * Derakon facepalms. |
| 22:02 | <@Derakon> | So what's giving you difficulties? |
| 22:02 | <@Derakon> | I haven't looked specifically at Java trees, but as a general rule you should have insert, find, and traverse functions. |
| 22:03 | < Reiv> | Just... Okay, so you have a cute little object that stores your relevant data that you want to store. |
| 22:03 | < Reiv> | How do you get it to attach to other nodes, and attach other nodes to it, so that you can insert/find/delete/traverse? |
| 22:04 | <@TheWatcher> | Also, are you writing your own, or using the TreeMap/TreeSet classes? |
| 22:04 | < Reiv> | I can't help but think this is a blatantly obvious technical detail that I'm missing. |
| 22:04 | <@Derakon> | If the tree is properly abstracted, then you should just call something like tree.insert(other_object) to add to it. |
| 22:04 | <@Derakon> | Or if you have two trees, something like tree.extend(other_tree) |
| 22:05 | <@Derakon> | And presumably it has an iterator to go over the elements of the tree in order. |
| 22:07 | <@Vornicus> | Reiv: your tree node has a parent, a left, and a right. These are references, initially null, to treenodes. |
| 22:07 | < Reiv> | Vorn: Does this apply for arbitary number of leaves per node? |
| 22:07 | <@Vornicus> | Oh, and it also has a data field which is a container for your data; the data field should implement Collatable or whatever the hell it's called |
| 22:08 | <@Vornicus> | Reiv: well in that case you need a list of leaves and a list of datas. |
| 22:08 | < Reiv> | Okay. Hrm. |
| 22:12 | | * Derakon tries to figure out how to clean up this sound effect. |
| 22:13 | <@Derakon> | It's so close to perfect but right at the end there's some rattle in it. :\ |
| 22:13 | | * TheWatcher vaguely stabs chomp(), writes a replacement |
| 22:13 | <@Derakon> | http://www.soundsnap.com/node/18109 is the sound; I want to use it for the charging deflector. |
| 22:14 | < Reiv> | 2 minutes long? |
| 22:15 | <@Derakon> | Only part of it. |
| 22:15 | < Reiv> | Ah. |
| 22:15 | <@Derakon> | 12s for the charge, and then a 1-2s loop for fully-charged. |
| 22:16 | <@Derakon> | Unfortunately, the rattle is not higher-frequency than the tone I want to get. |
| 22:17 | <@Derakon> | (Nor lower) |
| 22:17 | < Reiv> | I'm still puzzled why you're hardcoding the timer instead of letting it charge like the old way. |
| 22:18 | <@Derakon> | I feel this plays better. |
| 22:18 | < Reiv> | Okay den. |
| 22:18 | <@Derakon> | You still have plenty of incentive to inflect bullets, since that's the only way to increase your multiplier and sparks are a huge portion of your end-of-loop score. |
| 22:19 | < Reiv> | Yeah, but just running it in general? |
| 22:19 | <@Derakon> | Also, given that I want to have a sound effect for the charging deflector, it's much easier to have the charge length be constant. |
| 22:19 | < Reiv> | Well, that's fair, I suppose. |
| 22:19 | <@Derakon> | Reiver: so you have to find holes in the pattern where you can safely inflect. |
| 22:19 | < Reiv> | How's the sound effect sound if you keep start/stopping it? |
| 22:19 | <@Derakon> | I haven't gotten that far yet. |
| 22:19 | < Reiv> | Hit play/pause a lot~ |
| 22:20 | <@Derakon> | Sounds about like I'd expect it to. *shrug* |
| 22:23 | <@Derakon> | Oh, I linked the wrong sound earlier. http://www.soundsnap.com/node/17588 |
