Roll back to before Taupe's disastrous turn

Keep going and see what happens

Let it die

[Mr Frog]

Turn acknowledged, I'll get started on it either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how fast I can pawn this programming project off to the guy handling the netcode.

Ah, C++
A learning curve reminiscent of DF itself

[mikethete]

This fort has become like the little train that could, but with more doom, gloom, and insanity.

And attempted dog gas chambers.

Though I have to say that Objective-C probably has an even worse learning curve than C++ or DF.

I've never really understood when people say C++ is hard? I taught myself off of some online tutorials when I was 16 and I had a simple roguelike up and running within a couple of weeks

Admittedly I have no idea what I'm actually doing and there's a non-zero chance of my computer melting into slag every time I compile a program but

Well first off, it can become a pain in the neck to actually learn some of the more nuanced aspects of c++ because there isn't actually any official documentation. Also, having three different memory spaces with confusing interactions with one another can be frustrating to learn.

Also pointers.

[Mr Frog]

memory spaces

Hmm. Didn't actually know those were a thing. Could make some nice reading material.

I'm usually pretty embarrassed talking about programming since I have massive gaps in my knowledge base, lol.

Sounds like me and everything I know.

[The Master]

My turn huh? Well, I'll do my best. Not going to build hype this time because of the disaster last time. I'll download the save tomorrow and get started then. Sorry again about before. Life gets in the way.

Did you mean to post this in the Braveworks thread? You don't appear to have a second turn pending.

[Lolfail0009]

Fortress is chugging along, albeit slowly; the magic 72 FPS hasn't come back '^^ Expect an update in the next couple of days, maybe even tonight if I'm not feeling too tired after Uni. Juggling three different object behaviour script types in Unity can mess with a girl's head; at least it's only C# '^^

[chaotic skies]

Unity is a certifiable mess that I need to dive back into, head first, and not come out of until I can make something not terrible.

tfw I am studying history and can't brag about my past violent programming acts

Honestly, Clobbermountains is a lot like C++.

Bloated, complex, impossible to understand, filled with beasts in every corner, combined with poor documentation, and the occasion NULL pointer that releases a bunch of demons into your filesystem.

I've dealt with legacy codebases less complex than Clobbermountains. I feel an urge to build a turning machine in Clobbermountains!
