What's the best way to make a twitch bot that goes to other channels and comments? I want to avoid using selenium because I don't want them to know its a bot. All of the tutorials I find are how to make a bot for your own channel.

We're not gonna tell you how to to create a spam bot, pajeet.

tfw just posted my question in ded thread. I hope no one minds a quick reposting.

Whats a good set of tools(meaning languages and actual tools as well) that could be used for making a text based game that can be played from a web browser?

I've never done web-dev, and as far as I know you generally have web based front end and some sort of back end that does stuff. I'm not entirely sure what front end and back end mean.

I'm not making an mmo. Having a web based game just seems more convenient for getting people to try it and for handling text output than dealing with various multiplatform console windows/commands.

>>56233236
Don't want to spam, I just wanted to do it for learning purposes. I am going to make it so anytime someone types !aaron, it says "That's me" thats it.

I'm thinking far more actual RPG than visual novel or text adventure.

>>56233369
Like a rogue-like?

>>56233370
nah, if what you mean is a ascii-grid style movement anyways.

I'm more thinking like an index of menus, one might be objects in the room with each object having a index tag so you can type the index tag to bring up the menu for that object that would list the basic info, and then have its own command sections that would be available to every object such as search, pick up, push, pull etc.

I'm not a fan of text games where you enter "pick up paperclip" I'd rather have everything be seperated into "a" -> "4" -> "1" for the example of navigating 3 menus.

The combat would be JRPG style in regards to the display/input.

Can someone help me understand the list slicing going on here?

def rotate(arr, n):
    n = n % len(arr)
    return arr[-n:] + arr[:-n]

It takes a list [1,2,3,4,5] and rotates it n times. [5,1,2,3,4] for +1, [2,3,4,5,1] for -1. I understand n = n % len(arr) is there for when n exceeds the length.

I achieved the same thing but it was using for loops and if/else. Much slower.

>>56233510

Most IDEs and Text Editors have a choice of color schemes.

>>56233551
Yeah, negative indexes in python are counted from the end of the list starting at -1 like [-n,...,-3,-2,-1]

If it's C++ your company might consider modulating the project into dynamic libraries, so instead of having everything in a single project you'd have separate modules for audio, physics, networking etc, then the engine would load what it needs, this way you only need to rebuild one module at a time.

I've been contracted to work on a C++ codebase with about 100 smaller ~1k line files and two ~200k line files where almost all the real code is. Why "only" 200k? Because the proprietary compiler shits itself when even one more line is added, AND they don't appear to think it's serious enough to do the smart thing in refactoring it into properly composed smaller files.

What kind of stuff are you using it for? I have a small project in mind, and am thinking of using it over Unity. Recommended?

So apparently ElementTree in Python chokes on such line:

I think it tries to parse the <blah> string as another tag.

I posted this function a few days ago.

    char* ext_pos = nullptr;
    int length = strlen(str);
    auto read_pos = length;
    while (read_pos > 0) {
        --read_pos;
        if (str[read_pos] == '.') {
            ++read_pos;
            len_ret = length - read_pos;
            ext_pos = &str[read_pos];

What do you tend to do when a function ideally returns multiple things? std::pair is ugly and I'm not sure about the comparative speed of a struct, even for only two elements.

>>56234630
Well, structs & pairs are your only choice here, really, you can make it slightly cleaner by doing this:

typedef std::pair<char *, int> ExtRet;

//Assumes ASCII and C-style string
ExtRet get_extension(char* &str) {
    char* ext_pos = nullptr;
    int length = strlen(str);
    int len_ret = 0;
    auto read_pos = length;
    while (read_pos > 0) {
        --read_pos;
        if (str[read_pos] == '.') {
            ++read_pos;
            len_ret = length - read_pos;
            ext_pos = &str[read_pos];
            break;
        }
        if (str[read_pos] == '\\' || str[read_pos] == '/')
            break;
    }
    return {ext_pos, len_ret};
}

I want to get good at C++. Any resources or projects/exercises that are good for this? Thanks.

>>56234641
>Why so? I'm learning Java cause it seems like the easy language
Java doesn't push you, nor easily afford the means, to understand how the machine actually tends to work.

It also allocates variables on the heap, which is horrible for locality and tends to ensure consistent cache misses. Use interpreted languages for what they're actually good for, don't fall into a mode where you're trying to use them for everything (or think you should).

Really should start with C. And also read:

I'm doing babbys first hardware.

So I'm trying to control the speed of a motor by writing a number to a file/register/something. Via the command line, its done like this.

 
~/../..# echo [a number] > [the file] 
~/../..# echo [another number] > [the file] 
~/../..# echo [some other number] > [the file] 

I want to write a program in C that will open this file, write a number to it (based on some sort of generating function or maybe user input), and close the file. I have basic implementation of this in pic related, but I don't know if this is the "proper" way to go about it. Any suggestions?

You have fun with what you learn.
If you just read a chapter on something, make a small project where you use that.
Like if you just learned about linked lists.
Then you could make a game that is a visual representation of a linked list (snake).
You can do that with almost anything although some subjects take more time to implement.
This is when you use libraries.

OK is there a way around this issue?
I don't really understand why it is throwing an error

def func():
    print(variable)#<--does not cause an error, as variable is already declared outside the function
    if variable==2:

func()

Kids love the physical shit, programming takes motivation and real knowledge to persevere with because it's all abstract, having some physical stuff to go along with it would make it far more likely he'll stick with it.

Games is hard, Unity is probably the best option for a complete beginner but even that requires a decent amount of motivation to push through because of the vast workload involved.

If he's mature enough that he can accept it'll take a long while to be competent and even longer to produce anything then he should be aight. But vidya dev is a real serious pain in the ass, especially solo.

As I recall, in Python if you wish to read the value of a global variable, you can just use the variables name ("variable", in your case)
However if you wish to update its value, you'll need to declare the use of that global variable beforehand

variable=2

def just_reading_a_global():
    print(variable)

def updating_a_global():
    global variable
    print(variable)
    if variable==2:
        variable = 1
    print(variable)
    variable = 3

just_reading_a_global()
updating_a_global()
just_reading_a_global()

I'm not sure if there are any further in depth nuances to this

Anyone else feel like they get overwhelmed and fucked in the head when they think about whether to make things types or variables? I know I do.
In one project, I had a type called CharacterType, and it held all instances of a type of character, and anything static to that type, i.e. the characteristics of characters of that type. But, I would create a variable, i.e. HumanType, that is of type CharacterType.

It's not that I'm confused as to what is going on, but to if this is the best way to do things, the implicatoins of a variable being a type, etc.

This is a year-old project, so I'm not looking for refactoring advice or anything like that.

It's just an uncomfortable thing to think about I guess.

You're going to be using Javascript and dynamic loading via AJAX for most of that shit. All your info would probably do best in a json file. Backend stuff is for cookies and whatnot so that's generally not as important, since your game would work best as a single page app. Then there's also the issue of working with the HTML5 canvas, since even in a JRPG, unless it's completely text-based like Candy Box, you're going to have to render those elements on the page and doing it all through the DOM is going to kill performance.

Frontend is like what the user can see and manipulate, so the board your posting on right now, how it's styled with CSS, ordered by HTML/Templating, able to do nice things like backlinking via Javascript. Backend is all server side, such as placing images/posts into a database, pagination via queries to said database, and storing/issuing relevant data which is important to the user which (hopefully) the user can't interact with it directly except through the Frontend.

Also, there's always a thread up for webdev, have fun:

>superfluous

would you tell us why or how they were redundant?
either way, here's a virtual pat on your back.

In python, I want to make sure the user insert a number (float) and that the program doesn't crash if he inserts something else. Is this the best way to do it?

while True:
    try:
        H = float(input("Input H: "))
    except ValueError:
        print("Insert a valid number.")
        continue
    else:
        break

Working on a very basic random sentence generator (Using chains of words) and am having a bit of an issue:

I'm placing all of the words in a map with keys of Queues

Map<Queue<std::string>, Queue<std::string> >

How would I access a particular value of Queues? (Basically, I don't know how to get the key values of the Queues in the map)

This isn't very helpful, what do you suggest instead?

(

(type Nat (< Z (S Nat)))

(val + (-> Nat Nat))
(let +
  (fn (x) (fn (y)
    (match (, x y)
      ((, n Z)          n)
      ((, n (S m))      (S (+ n m)))))))

)

>>56236314
yeah, that guy's cool too

>>56236355

Truly awful.

>>56236355
Never, ever, EVER use one letter variables/ function names.

"use-descriptive-names" that explain what everything does. The extra time required to type out your code is negligible compared the massive amount of time you'll save by being able to easily reason about wtf you're programming.

>>56236381
the other syntax mode (which im still making the parser for) is a bit nicer

type Nat = [< Z | S Nat]

val (+) : Nat -> Nat
let (+) x y =
  match x, y with
  | (n, Z) -> n
  | (n, S m) -> S (n + m)
  end

>>56236350
Actually looking at it again, I guess it's alright

>>56236494

(

(type Nat (< Zero (Succ Nat)))

(val + (-> Nat Nat))
(let +
  (fn (num1) (fn (num2)
    (match (, num1 num2)
      ((, num1 Zero)            num1)
      ((, num1 (Succ num2))      (Succ (+ num1 num2)))))))

)

i should add a limit for identifiers to be a single char just for you

>>56236494
I don't know if you're only talking about lisp or whatever, but one letter variable names are perfectly fine if used correctly.
It's all about context and how much information you can encode into your variable names.
For example, if a function primarily deals with a single type,

void my_function(struct thing *t);

is perfectly acceptable.

famiglia, sizeof is a C function carried over to C++
You can't "overload" a function that doesn't belong to a class.

And to be more pedantic, sizeof is not a function. It's practically a fuckin' preprocessor directive. Which is why it's impossible to overwrite it.

>>56236603
>Except, no, that's never acceptable.
Again, it's about context.
In the context of that function, t refers to the "thing" which is being worked on.
If something has a large scope, or if the context isn't clear, you'll obviously use a more descriptive name.
It's the exact same reason that using "i" in a for loop is acceptable. In the context of that loop, it's an index/incrementor.

Notepad++ doesn't seem to want to interpret my regexes correctly.

0 Tc
q
1 0 0 1 7.6 121.935 cm
/Fm7 Do
1 0 0 1 71.2913 98.9291 cm
Q
endstream 

where the number /G6 and /FM7 have a tendency to change (to for example, /G10 and /G11 or G123890 and G123891)

So the regex I came up with is
(/G .* endstream)

For some reason, Notepad++ is always finding the very first instance of /G and the very last instance of endstream.
Works perfectly on regexr though.

With some macro fuckery and _Generic, you can. It's quite a convoluted solution however.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

struct _def;
#define DEF (struct _def *)NULL
#define IS_DEF(val) _Generic(val, struct _def *: true, default: false)
#define GET_DEF(val, def) _Generic(val, struct _def *: def, default: val)

int foo(int x, int y)
{
    printf("x: %d, y: %d\n", x, y);

    return x + y;
}

#define _foo(x, y, end, ...) \
        (foo)((x), GET_DEF(y, 0)); \
        _Static_assert(IS_DEF(end), "Too many arguments to foo()");
#define foo(...) _foo(__VA_ARGS__, DEF, DEF, )

int main()
{
    foo(1);
    foo(1, 2);

    int a = foo(2);
    printf("%d\n", a);

    // Fails to compile:
    // foo();
    // foo(1, 2, 3);
    // printf("%d\n", foo(1));
}

Unfortunately you can't use a macro like this for an expression, only a basic assignment statement.
You can by removing the _Static_assert, but then you won't be able to detect if too many arguments are passed to the function.

syntax is way to strict for me, and every program is like 3x as long as most any other language
it's very nice needing only eclipse to run it, no messing around with hotkeys and batch scripts
also I like how much easier it is to work with large files in java

well he's half right at least

>>56239241
which half?

html.parser, it's not as clean nor convenient. Something you can do in one line in bs4 requires a class with several functions in html.parser etc.

Hi, Ruby!

>>56239090
C allows the type and specifiers to be in any order, but <storage> <modifier> <type> seems the most consistent and logical to me.
Otherwise you permit stupid shit like

int typedef const myint;

Well hello internet, and thank you for the wonderful numbers. It was just what I needed right now.

>>56238394
thanks for the answer. I don't quite understand everything in that code but i'm definitely saving it for later.
I'm probably not going to use default arguments ever but i saw it used in a c++ tutorial i'm following (and doing in c), so i was curious if it could be done.

>>56237007
I'm using Python 3.5 and it works just fine

Right. It's stupidly macro heavy isn't obvious at all.

I'll try to give an explanation:
_Generic is a language construct added in C11 which will pick some replacement based on the type of the argument.
The first argument ('val') is the expression, and the rest of the arguments are a list of types and their substitutions.
e.g.

#define foo(v) _Generic((v), int: "integer", double: "floating point")

printf("%s\n", foo(0)); // "integer"
printf("%s\n", foo(1.0); // "floating point"

For the purposes of this, I created an incomplete type (struct _def) and used a pointer to it for the _Generic selection.
The user isn't supposed to worry about this type.
DEF is a convenience macro that is a pointer to this new type.

I then have two macros which use _Generic.
IS_DEF will be true if the argument is a DEF, otherwise false.
GET_DEF will return the 'def' value if 'val' is a DEF, or return the value as-is otherwise.

#define foo(...) _foo(__VA_ARGS__, DEF, DEF, )

This macro adds some DEF values to the end of the provided arguments. If the user provides fewer than 2 arguments, the DEF values will become 'x' and 'y' in the next bit.
We also need an extra DEF, just to act as the end marker.
Ignore the trailing comma. That was just to shut up some pedantic compiler warnings.

#define _foo(x, y, end, ...) \
        (foo)((x), GET_DEF(y, 0)); \
        _Static_assert(IS_DEF(end), "Too many arguments to foo()");

This is the macro that actually does the work.
The round brackets around foo makes sure we actually call the function instead of the macro.
We use the GET_DEF macro to do the replacement of 'y' if DEF was passed through from the previous macro.
The _Static_assert checks if the end argument isn't a user provided one, so that compilation will fail if the user passes too many arguments to the function.

It's fine if you don't understand. It's all pretty convoluted.

>>56236823
even the cat isn't impressed

So, in the untyped lambda calculus, where the only value is a function, what would be the value of a purely side-effecting function, e.g. print.
Does one have to introduce a unit value or are there ways around that? Continuations maybe?

>>56241863
Side effects as free variables, e.g. literally "print 3"

>>56233153
>>56238234
I think it's because it's an ArrayList, not a normal Java array, so you can't use a[i] to access an element, you have to use a.get(i)

>3 space indent
absolutely disgusting

Also, you should probably only be using 'i' as an index variable in a regular loop, and not as an object in a foreach type loop.

Learn C, and then C++ to learn about pointers and other stuff which is common to many languages.

Learn Scheme or another Lisp to get good at recursion and data structures.

Read K&R C for learning C, and SICP for Scheme.

I just finished part 9, but I can't really think of anything to apply this knowledge to

Is there some form of site/app/project that I can use my knowledge (the little I have) to make?

I know there is a subreddit about doing this kind of stuff but I want something else yknow?

>>56244057
Maybe try some of the earlier problems on projecteuler.net

>>56244091
yeah sure thing, thx
