| 01:36 | <@McMartin> | Ah, I7 problem messages |
| 01:36 | <@McMartin> | "(Individual words of unquoted text can run up to 92 letters long, in order to allow for the longest recognised place name in the English speaking world: a hill in New Zealand called Taumatawhakatang-ihangakoauauot-amateaturipukaka-pikimaunga-horonuku-pokaiwhenua k-itanatahu. You say tomato, I say taumatawhakatang-...)" |
| 01:39 | < Vornicus> | ...Someone was having a good time when they wrote that. |
| 01:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | 92 seems kind of arbitrary. |
| 01:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | I mean, I see the reasoning behind it, but why not just say "as long as the runtime can handle" and leave it at that? |
| 01:42 | <@ToxicFrog> | What if someone wants to write "Taumatawhakatang-ihangakoauauot-amateaturipukaka-pikimaunga-horonuku-pokaiwhenu ak-itanatahu's" in a sentence? |
| 01:44 | < Vornicus> | That i think is "more than a word" |
| 01:45 | < Vornicus> | though while we're at it if it's "in a sentence" it's probably quoted. |
| 01:45 | < Vornicus> | Which means no complaints. |
| 01:48 | < Vornicus> | Frankly I find the usual limit of like 32 characters in many programming languages exorbitant luxury and I rarely go above 20. |
| 01:56 | <@McMartin> | Especially given that that's per *word*, not per *identified* |
| 01:57 | <@McMartin> | *identifier*, rather |
| 01:57 | <@McMartin> | I7 allows multi-word identifiers |
| 01:57 | < Vornicus> | Indeed. |
| 01:58 | < Vornicus> | And I don't think you'll have multipleTaumatawhakatang-ihangakoauauot-amateaturipukaka-pikimaunga-horonuku-pok aiwhenuak-itanatahus. |
| 01:58 | <@McMartin> | And if you do, you can use spaces instead of dashes. |
| 02:00 | < Vornicus> | Or just take out the dashes, as wikipedia apparently does. |
| 02:01 | <@McMartin> | TF: Also, because the runtime can only handle nine. The source text is a lot more forgiving about identifier length than about parsable word length. |

| 05:41 | | * McMartin finishes modifying this GM8 project to have a fully configurable set of platformer constants. |
| 05:41 | <@McMartin> | There are a distressing number of them. |
| 05:42 | <@McMartin> | Run Acceleration, Air Control ("drift") acceleration, Skid deceleration, max fall speed, max horizontal speed while running, drifting, or reversing directions in midair. Gravity before and after a jump completes. |
| 05:43 | < Vornicus> | That is a distressing number of constants. |
| 05:43 | <@McMartin> | If you allow mobility powerups, they aren't even necessarily constant! |
| 05:44 | <@McMartin> | I *think* this project will actually load in the unregistered version, too. |
