gah!!!
01:00
<@Chalcedon>
why the hell won't you PRINT!!!????!!!!!!!!
01:02 * Chalcedon beat python
01:08
<@Chalcedon>
...
01:08
<@Chalcedon>
you are bizzare, machine.
01:09
< Serah>
Blame Python, not the machine.
01:09
< Serah>
The machine is only doing what is told.
01:09
<@Chalcedon>
mmm... true.
01:10
<@Chalcedon>
I think it got itself into a loop, because once I gave it a new instruction, it printed fine without me altering anything.
01:11
< Serah>
What really gets me about coding is that I can write some code and it doesn't work. I can pore over it for hours and days until I give up and write the same piece of code in a different file.
01:11
<@Chalcedon>
and it works?
01:11
< Serah>
The difference is that the new code works, and the old does not even though they are an exact match.
01:12
<@Chalcedon>
yay.
01:12
< Serah>
The most peculiar thing about this whole event was that when I copied the new ( same ) code onto the old ( same ) code, what didn't work before suddenly worked.
01:12
<@Chalcedon>
....
01:12 * Chalcedon offers stick?
01:13
< Serah>
I kept the code for a couple of days trying to assertain what the differences were, wether there were any but location and date. But none were appearent.
01:13
< Serah>
Ghost in the machine?
01:13
<@Chalcedon>
goodness only knows.
01:14
<@Chalcedon>
I know windows gets into a loops sometimes, you reload a webpage or network tree and it says "it's not there, I've checked", when it hasn't actually checked /this/ time and you've fixed the problem from last time.
01:14
<@Chalcedon>
perhaps it is a similar problem
01:15
<@ToxicFrog>
Serah: if it's python, possibly whitespace issues.
01:15 * Chalcedon gives TF a cookie
01:15
< Serah>
It wasn't.
01:16
< Serah>
And when I say exact match, I mean exact match.
01:16 * ToxicFrog nibbles
01:16
<@ToxicFrog>
How peculiar.
01:18 * Serah nuzzles ToxicFrog
01:18 * ToxicFrog pets Serah

< Reiver>
So, Java.
04:19
< Reiver>
If one is trying to maintain a chessboard and track the position of the peices on it, is this best to use a static 8x8 array, or an Arraylist?
04:20
< Reiver>
Upside to the Arraylist is that you only have as many points as you do peices. Upside to the static would be that it'd be less mindbreaking to manipulate, perhaps?
04:20 * Reiver is really not sure.
04:22 * Chalcedon can't help
04:23 * Chalcedon is nowhere near up to doing chessboards
04:23
<@Chalcedon>
what is an array list? kind of like a coordinate?
04:25
<@Chalcedon>
(or list of coordinates)
04:25 * Chalcedon looks at the potion list... and breaks
04:26 * Chalcedon shower
04:27
< Lukhan>
Who cares about the overhead of an arraylist? premature optimization...
