Why is it that the Java standard library contains eighteen billion classes for shit I will never, ever use, but has no message-passing threads?
13:20
< GeekSoldier|work>
"Java standard library"
13:24
<@ToxicFrog>
That's what I just said, yes.
13:25
< GeekSoldier|work>
perhaps because the fne folks at Sun thought that we needed 18 billion classes for shit that we will never, ever use. Who needs message passing nowadays anyhow? </snark>
13:26
< GeekSoldier|work>
silly them.
13:27
< GeekSoldier|work>
but, it's things like that that entice me to continue stayng away from java.

19:54
< GeekSoldier>
can't you use Python?
19:57
< Attilla>
Maybe Malbolge?
19:57
<@ToxicFrog>
If you can convince the professor to let us use Python, I will love you forever, but I've already tried convincing him to let us use Lua or Erlang - or, hell, anything other than Java - to no avail.
19:58
<@ToxicFrog>
I've already proto'd this in Lua, but that gets me no marks.

< jerith>
So, RQ.
22:18 * jerith fires up I7.
22:18
<@McMartin>
First. What version of RQ, what version of I7?
22:19
<@McMartin>
4X60 dies comically on any version of RQ pre-6.
22:19
< jerith>
Inform (1.0 6.31/4X60)
22:19
< jerith>
Ah.
22:19
< jerith>
Version 2
22:20
< jerith>
I guess I'm a bit behind, then.
22:20
<@McMartin>
Ew, lots.
22:20
< jerith>
Where do I get the newest version?
22:20
<@McMartin>
inform-fiction.org
22:20
<@McMartin>
My homepage has the older version 4, which is Recommended for pre-4X60 I7s.

Ah, that works /much/ better.
22:25
< Vornicus>
??
22:25
<@McMartin>
This is due to a serious bug in 4X60, which I have reported
22:25 * jerith nods.
22:25
< jerith>
Vornicus: Making RQ work in I7.
22:26
<@McMartin>
Be aware that delivering quips is now O(n) in the total number of quips in the game now, instead of O(1) as God Intended, thanks to the workaround.
22:26
< jerith>
Ah.
22:26 * jerith ponders.
22:26
<@McMartin>
Given that the maximum amount of memory to search through is 64K, and it's turn-based, this is unlikely to be much of an issue.
22:26
< jerith>
What's the bug?
22:27
<@McMartin>
You can hang sub-values off of enums, and they're mis-indexed in 4X60.
22:27
< jerith>
Ah.
22:28
<@McMartin>
So versions <=5 use "the text of the quip", an array lookup, and version 6 uses "the text corresponding to a quip of X in the Table of Quip Texts", which is a linear search.
22:28
< jerith>
That would explain why nonexistant quips resulted in silence and real ones resulted in "you have nothing to say".
22:28
<@McMartin>
All real ones will also result in wackily inappropriate responses.
22:29
< jerith>
I only had one real quip, though. I thought I'd start small.
22:30
< jerith>
I can't call the quip "cognac", though, since I already have a cognac in the game.
22:30
<@McMartin>
You might be able to call it the cognac information or some such
22:30
<@McMartin>
Or, since it's hidden from the player, q_cognac.
22:30
<@McMartin>
Which was how I tended to handle it.
22:31
< jerith>
I called it booze. :-P
22:31
< jerith>
But a q_ namespace does make sense.
