| 06:23 | <@Alek> | so, the current lesson is to take the previous lesson's sample CYOA 4-room game and make your own. |

| 06:32 | <&jerith> | Alek: pygame is good for graphical games. |
| 06:35 | | * Alek facedesks. |
| 06:35 | <@Alek> | now I need to either figure out how to make global variables, or pass all my variables at each room. -_- |
| 06:36 | <@Alek> | passing them isn't hard. just tedious. |
| 06:37 | < Syk> | why not just make an object? |
| 06:37 | < Syk> | object with all of the variables in it, pass the single object |
| 06:37 | <@Alek> | haven't gotten there yet. |
| 06:37 | <@Alek> | good idea. |
| 06:37 | <@Alek> | oh wait. array. >_> |

| 06:38 | < Syk> | oh yeah just make a class or whatever |

| 06:38 | <@Alek> | haven't gotten to classes either. |

| 07:06 | | * Vornicus fiddles with his 4e character sheet, determines he's in for another round of Huge Piles Of Data Entry. |
| 07:06 | <~Vornicus> | and also I apparently need to make a requirements-monger function. |
| 07:07 | <~Vornicus> | Alek: build an object or dictionary with your state |
| 07:07 | <~Vornicus> | pass that around, not a stupid list where you have to remember the numbers to everything. |
| 07:09 | | Kindamoody[zZz] is now known as Kindamoody|out |
| 07:11 | | ^Xires is now known as Xires |
| 07:16 | <~Vornicus> | Okay, feats. For a character to choose a feat he must meet certain requirements: to get, for instance, Agile Hunter, the character must have 15 dex and be a Ranger and have the Hunter's Quarry ranger class feature (which might be important in the hybrid classes in phb3 but I don't have that book available to me and jesus christ). |
| 07:18 | | Xires is now known as ^Xires |
| 07:19 | <~Vornicus> | For the most part this means creating and maintaining a list of features and stuff that the character has; this isn't too terrible. However, there's somthing more complicated lurking in here. |
| 07:21 | <~Vornicus> | If it were merely "and" that generates the requirements, then there would be no problem; each entry in the feat table would come with an array of requirements that it must meet. |
| 07:25 | <~Vornicus> | But there are also some feats - Chainmail Proficiency (str 13, con 13, proficiency with leather or hide armor), Improved Fate Of The Void (con 13 or cha 13, warlock, star pact), Ritual Casting (training in religion or arcana) - that require an "or" in there. |
| 07:26 | <~Vornicus> | multiclass feats are even better: in order to take a particular multiclass feat you must meet its normal requirements /and/ not be of the class in the first place /and/ have no other multiclass feats, unless you're a bard. |
| 07:32 | | ^Xires is now known as Xires |
| 07:33 | <~Vornicus> | So long story short I have a variety of requirements that a feat must meet; these requirements range from nonexistent to extremely complicated. |
| 07:34 | < ErikMesoy> | Bard? That's a bard ability now, improved multiclassing? |
| 07:34 | <~Vornicus> | ErikMesoy: basically, yeah. Bards may take more than one multiclass entry feat. |
| 07:35 | | You're now known as TheWatcher |
| 07:41 | <~Vornicus> | These requirements suggest that i need to make the requirement checker a function for each feat. That sounds like quite a lot of functions that look an awful lot alike; my best bet I suspect would be to make a higher-order function that I can feed data and create the actual requirements-check function. |
| 08:08 | | Xires is now known as ^Xires |
| 08:08 | <&jerith> | Vornicus: Sounds like you need a little expression language. |
| 08:09 | | Rhamphoryncus [rhamph@Nightstar-cc6253d6.abhsia.telus.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 08:15 | | * TheWatcher eyes his brain |
| 08:18 | <@TheWatcher> | jerith: so, a language that can only be used to produce things like "Yes!", "No!", "Yay!" and other little expressions, as opposed to something more powerful that can handle large expressions like "Indubitably, old bean!" or "Dreadfully compunctuous!" |
| 08:19 | | * TheWatcher decides he needs more tea, yes |
| 08:19 | <&jerith> | TheWatcher: Indeed. And it produces these things when given a set of requirements. |

| 08:31 | | * Vornicus checks over the list. |
| 08:33 | <~Vornicus> | okay. The only feats with requirements beyond the powers of and/or are multiclass feats. |
| 08:33 | <&jerith> | Okay, my zsh setup is working nicely now. |
| 08:38 | | Attilla [chatzilla@Nightstar-aced750e.range86-184.btcentralplus.com] has joined #code |
| 08:40 | <~Vornicus> | Which means that the functionfor handling simple requirements is relatively simple; the multiclass one is more complicated. |
| 08:45 | <&jerith> | Can't multiclass be reduced to and/or? |
| 09:11 | < ErikMesoy> | I'm pretty sure it can, but it would be a mess. |
| 09:12 | | * ErikMesoy tried phrasing "two of" from a set of six in and/or once. Looooong and redundant. |
| 09:12 | <~Vornicus> | I'm missing "not", and there's some craziness in there. |
| 09:13 | <~Vornicus> | There are 16 multiclass feats in phb1 and 2 combined. |
| 09:14 | <~Vornicus> | and/or is simple enough that I've basically got it all done already. |
| 09:21 | <~Vornicus> | there's a couple of other toys in there that i need to handle; there are five feats you can take multiple times. |
| 09:24 | <~Vornicus> | (they're things like weapon focus and linguist, where each time you take them you make other choices as well) |
| 09:29 | <~Vornicus> | (which of course leads into the obvious: urggzob is ten linguists!) |

| 11:13 | | * Tarinaky contemplates whether writing a class that constructs gui element positions from json is more, or less, work. |
| 11:14 | <@Tarinaky> | I suspect more. |
| 11:15 | <~Vornicus> | tarinaky: possibly less. |
| 11:16 | < Syk> | about the same |
| 11:28 | <@TheWatcher> | Depends how you'd be makign the gui elements otherwise, and how many you'll have |
| 11:30 | <@TheWatcher> | If you would need to hand-code them, and you have a lot, some means of specifying them in a simple format and then programmatically constructing the gui from that should work out a lot easier in the long run - it'll probably be more work /up front/, you'll only see the benefit over time. |

| 14:01 | <&ToxicFrog> | Hmm. |
| 14:02 | <&ToxicFrog> | I have a textbook that discusses them! I don't have any papers that do offhand, though. |
| 14:02 | <&ToxicFrog> | They might be harder to find than you think because they are used so differently. |
| 14:03 | < Xires> | indeed..but the differences are something that I'm specifically wanting to point out |
| 14:03 | < Xires> | a text book would be fantastic...could you give me the ISBN? |
| 14:04 | < Xires> | I can order a copy and I'm sure it'll prove useful at some point in the future |

| 14:07 | <&ToxicFrog> | I don't have a copy handy, but it's Lyn & Snyder's _Principles of Parallel Programming_. It doesn't discuss either in great depth, though; it's an overview of parallel programming techniques and theory. |
| 14:08 | < Xires> | K |
| 14:08 | <&ToxicFrog> | Just putting "mpi openmp" into google scholar turns up a bunch of stuff, although most of it is discussing hybrid MPI/openmp implementations, not contrasting the two approaches |
| 14:09 | < Xires> | I have The Art of Multiprocessor Programming which covers quite a bit of the basic theory & paradigms but not much specific about OpenMP or MPI |
| 14:10 | | Nemu_ [NeophoxProd@Nightstar-c19b9314.asahi-net.or.jp] has joined #code |
| 14:10 | <&ToxicFrog> | "Performance evaluation of mpi, upc and openmp on multicore architectures" by D. Mallon et al. and "Performance comparison of pure MPI vs hybrid MPI-OpenMP parallelization models on SMP clusters" by N. Drosinos might be starting points |
| 14:10 | <&ToxicFrog> | PoPP might be mostly overlap with that :/ |
| 14:10 | <@gnolam> | Xires: what kind of stuff are you looking for? |
| 14:10 | | Nemu [NeophoxProd@Nightstar-0ad81439.asahi-net.or.jp] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 14:11 | <@gnolam> | If it's "which one is faster", then the answer depends on the architecture and implementation. |
| 14:11 | < Xires> | gnolam; I would personally _love_ to find something that indicates the major individual strengths & weaknesses of OpenMP & MPI |
| 14:12 | <&ToxicFrog> | ...those are basically the strengths and weaknesses of shared-memory vs. local-memory parallel programming architectures in general |
| 14:13 | <&ToxicFrog> | (with the usual caveats about openmp not being as flexible as pthreads etc) |
| 14:13 | <@gnolam> | Yeah, that's basically something you should hit up Wikipedia for. >_> |
| 14:14 | < Xires> | am doing that as well but the more information that I can gather, the better I'll be able to explain, elaborate & advise |
| 14:14 | < Xires> | ack..I'll bbiab; must go get a marriage license |
| 14:16 | <&ToxicFrog> | Congratulations. |
| 14:18 | <&ToxicFrog> | Anyways, the one-paragraph-from-memory version is that openMP is very easy, but very limited. It's for cheaply parallelizing existing serial loops and whatnot. Doing anything sophisticated with it is painful (or impossible) and it doesn't scale beyond a single node. |
| 14:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | MPI is (over)complicated but vastly more flexible and scales to clusters of arbitrary size, with the usual caveat of local-memory parallelism that if you need to communicate more than you compute, you need to redesign your |
| 14:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | algo |
| 14:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | rithm |
| 14:19 | <@gnolam> | Well, depends on the cluster architecture. But in general, distributed shared memories are... urgh. |
| 14:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | thank you kitten |
| 14:19 | <@gnolam> | But there's nothing preventing you from mixing the two. |
| 14:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000009 |
| 14:20 | <@gnolam> | E.g. using OpenMP for node-level parallelism and MPI for cluster-level parallelism. |
| 14:20 | <&jerith> | Hello pixel. |
| 14:20 | <&ToxicFrog> | Yeah, a lot of the papers I found were discussing programs that used both in conjunction, one MPI node per SMP member of the cluster and then openMP on each node. |
| 14:20 | <&ToxicFrog> | jerith: pixel is...Mahal's, I think? |
| 14:20 | <&ToxicFrog> | This is Suzie. |

| 15:55 | <&ToxicFrog> | Hah |
| 15:55 | <&ToxicFrog> | I think I finally understand the res file decompression algorithm |
| 15:56 | <&ToxicFrog> | Unfortunately this means I also understand that the reference implementation doesn't match the description in the specs |
| 15:56 | <&ToxicFrog> | I don't know which is right. It's possible that in practice they get the same answers. |
| 15:56 | <@Haeroe> | Not sure if victory |
| 15:56 | < Syk> | res as in MS' res format? |
| 15:56 | < Syk> | if so, then duh |
| 15:56 | <&ToxicFrog> | As in LGS's. |
| 15:57 | < Syk> | LGS? |
| 15:57 | <&ToxicFrog> | Although the documentation and reference implementation here are the result of reverse engineering. |
| 15:57 | <@Haeroe> | LGS? |
| 15:57 | <&ToxicFrog> | The only reference implementations from the original designers are in x86 machine code these days and, well, fuck that noise, even with a good disassembler. |
| 15:57 | <&ToxicFrog> | Looking Glass Studios. |
| 15:57 | < Syk> | ahh |
| 15:57 | <&ToxicFrog> | This is the archive format used for all of their DOS games. |
| 15:58 | <@Haeroe> | Oh, what are you doing with those? |
| 15:59 | <&ToxicFrog> | At the moment? Trying to figure out where it stores configuration data in the save files. |
| 16:00 | <&ToxicFrog> | But I have Plans for later. |
| 16:00 | <&ToxicFrog> | That will require writing a map editor. |

| 16:05 | < hummer> | hey, i'm new here and i got a newbie coding question... is there anyone can help me with coding linked lists of struct nodes? trying to delete struct nodes of the list that contain certain char and return the remaining list. |
| 16:10 | <@Tarinaky> | Yay! I have my Library actually being vaguely useful/providing code re-use... http://i.imgur.com/xlVYslV.png |
| 16:18 | <@gnolam> | hummer: where are you getting stuck? |
| 16:19 | < hummer> | hey i'm having difficulty traversing through the list without deleting the list |
| 16:19 | | Typh[zZz] is now known as Typherix |
| 16:20 | < hummer> | i just point to the next node if the current node is the one to be deleted, but how do i retain the previous parts of the list? |

| 16:48 | <@Haeroe> | hummer: It might help inspecting current.next rather than current |
| 16:48 | <@Haeroe> | Since then you will still have a 'hold' on current and can change what its next node is |
| 17:01 | < Shiz> | sup hae |
| 17:01 | <@Haeroe> | Sup Shiz |
| 17:02 | <@gnolam> | You don't modify the head pointer just to traverse through the list. You have your own pointer for that. |
| 17:08 | < hummer> | damn...this is the 9th hour i'm on this question |
| 17:09 | < hummer> | yeah i've tried making a temp node, but traversing through that i still have to delete and i don't know how to keep the original list pointing to the beginning |
| 17:11 | < hummer> | to the beginning of the edited list rather |

| 22:22 | <&ToxicFrog> | Tarinaky: git diff |
| 22:22 | <&ToxicFrog> | Although technically that's a diff between the index and the working copy (i.e. it's changes made but not yet staged for commit) |
| 22:23 | <@Tarinaky> | It's exactly what I wanted. |
| 22:23 | <&McMartin> | froztbyte: The INTERNETS |
| 22:23 | <&ToxicFrog> | If you've added some stuff to the index but want to diff last commit <-> working copy (instead of last commit <-> index or index <-> working copy), use git diff HEAD. |
| 22:23 | <&ToxicFrog> | There's also 'git gui' for a nicer interface to the diffs. |
| 22:24 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | RichyB: I know Qalculate can handle stupid-high number of digits, but it's a calculator, not a library |
| 22:24 | <@Tarinaky> | Fortunately best practice being what it is it was a single line that I totally forgot I had changed. |
| 22:25 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | RichyB: still, it could help you sanity check. Also, it can do symbolic math to be *really* sure :) |
