AW! Don't keep it secret Cthulhu! Make a thread in Creative Projects and elaborate the idea to us!

[Schilcote]

Still learning Java, wrote some basic programs to do various nonsense

Everybody hit the deck.  By the way, where are you learning Java from?  I was a wiz at non-graphical Java in highschool, but the core vernacular changed since then, and I've never found an adequate tutorial or conversion dictionary since then.

I'm kind of worried though, that disintegrate if I successfully learn Java (Which it seems I probably will) and program the game idea I have (Which will remain a secret).  I mean, what am I if not a flake?  If I cease to be a flake, will I cease to be?

An entity conforming to the archetype "human" without conforming to the sub-archetype "flake"?

Not until I have real progress to show.

never talk to strangers

[Armok]

I wanted to know that there was someone else out there who really, truly cared--and in the places where he was weak or hypocritical, he would recognize it and take his guilt and shame without complaint.  I was looking for someone who saw unflinchingly.... who could see the true state of things or easily say "no, I don't know."  I guess you could say that I was looking for an honest man.

You found him right here, give or take a few doses of Armok.  Pretty scary reality, isn't it?

I'm not sure how to interpret this. :/

I'm not sure how to interpret this. :/

Perfect man = Aqizzar ± Armok * x
...
I'm not really sure what that means either.

Aww man, I was like, "You know what I would do OH SHIT HE READ MY MIND". Though really, it's a pretty obvious joke.

[Solifuge]

The Happy Thread has been awfully Self-Actualizing lately... and the Happy is rubbing off on me.

I guess you could say that I was looking for an honest man.

In the fine tradition of Diogenes. Might I suggest looking into empty barrels and lanterns?
Seriously though, I'm really happy to hear this. It sounds like you're well on the road to healing, and by your own merit to boot. Makes me smile.

Well, I had a fun swim today. Jumped into the water, nice, clean, clear, a paradise really. I even swam out to a distant sand bar and took my time to return and caught a few waves before returning home. That in itself made me happy.

(snip: and suddenly sharks)

Wow, I'm glad you're okay. I've always been terrified of swimming in the ocean for that reason. I can swim in lakes with leeches and snapping turtles (and allegedly sturgeons) to my heart's content... but ocean predators worry me. Whenever I go on dives, I'm usually hypersensitive, and start scanning everything, even though I've only run into a tiny little white-tipped reef shark so far.

At times I wonder if Marine Biology is really what I want to specialize in. *shudders*

I made my first game in Java.

Spoiler: It's an art game, you probably wouldn't get the meaning (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

package experiment;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String response;
        boolean alive;

        alive = true;

        while (alive == true){
        TextIO.putln("You stand outside a cave.  Do you GO IN or do you LEAVE?");
        response = TextIO.getln();
       
        if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("go in")) {
        TextIO.putln("A dragon eats you, game over.");
        alive = false;
        }
 else { if (response.equalsIgnoreCase("leave")) {
     TextIO.putln("You get lost in the woods and die.");
     alive = false;
            }
 else {
     TextIO.putln("That's an invalid response.  Type one of the responses listed.");
            }
 }

 }

    }
}

[ToonyMan]

Personally Cthulhu I wouldn't play that game.

[Cthulhu]

Fine, Philistine.

[ECrownofFire]

Is the meaning of it that no matter what you do, you're going to die in the end anyway?

[Aqizzar]

I made my first game in Java.

Well, it does work, I guess.  You have some really weird bracket-etiquette.  Or maybe it's Netbeans doing that, I remember it being really bad about how it arranges brackets.

How long did it take you? Bet I could replicate that in B+ in less than five minutes.

[Cthulhu]

Like two minutes?  I just wanted to make sure I had a handle on nested if/else things.

And yeah, the brackets are weird, I cleaned them up but apparently I did it a few seconds after I copied.
