I use TortoiseGit, which is great.

I noticed a lot of these errors eventually :V
Not fully clearing an array is pretty obvious when -876516579 starts to show up at the edges whenever you rotate a piece.
I also had my axes messed up completely, which I fixed.
Also, I DO need templates, because I also want to clear the playing field.
Current version is here. Mostly working, I still need to do rotation collision checking, line clearing, colors and fixing colissions at the borders.

Good going

I used TortoiseGit for a while and agree that it's a pretty good client.  Especially if you're just learning Git, it might be helpful to avoid being further confused by the CLI options.  We all pretty much stopped using it at work though, because the one problem we ran into with it is that becomes extraordinarily slow if you have a very large number of files in your repository.  I'm not sure why it's so much slower than the CLI in that case.

I agree that TortoiseGit is pretty good. It has a few confusingly named functions though, mainly the one labeled "revert", which is not the same as the CLI "git revert".

I've got a little project to link here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=148004.0

Since I use TortoiseSVN at work, maybe TortoiseGit will make sense to me.

No I get how it works I just got tripped up on the discussion haha.

I'm looking at a subscription to the UE4 engine. Hmm... Well, I'll need £20 or so a month, and I'll need to learn C++ properly.

[Thief^]

IIRC it's $19, which is more like £12.50. I don't know if tax gets charged.

So, I've been recently getting back into programming. I took APCS and learned some Java/C# in high school, but it's been a couple years since then and I'm mostly starting over. I'm interested in at some point making games/GUI programs, just for kicks. Anyway, I've been waffling over what language to focus on:

I started out recently in C#, motivated by modding Space Engineers mainly, but I'm not a huge fan of C# even if you can deploy it to non-windows systems now- how well does that work by the way?

I also tried a good bit of Python, it looks cleaner certainly, which is nice, but I'm wondering if it's good for large programs. I'm not really a fan of the use of tabulation instead of curly braces. I've been using Visual Studio as an IDE, and it's not easy to, say, take a bunch of lines and put them inside an IF statement. Is there an easy way to do that/should I be using a different IDE?

I also tried Java again, or at least, I installed Eclipse and spent a while trying to get it to find my JDK 8 installation. I'm not super excited to see "public static void main(String[] args)" again, but I was thinking of learning Java for convenience if I decide to make Android apps at some point.

So, I guess what am asking is, "Which OOP should I use for games and GUI applications, and if it's Python, how do I tab a bunch of lines at once dammit?"

[Thief^]

Visual Studio does support batch indenting, so just select the lines and press tab? (shift+tab to remove a level of indent).

Also learn the Alt+drag or Alt+Shift+Arrows keys for editing across multiple lines at once, they're awesome.

Unity can use either C#, a thing kinda like javascript, and a thing kinda like python, and is cross platform.

What Thief said basically. Select all the lines, click tab to indent, then wrap your if statement and braces around the block. Shift-tab to move things to the left.

And I think the normal, quick select keys in Windows are Shift+Arrow (does by lines or by letter), or Ctrl-Shift+Arrow, which does whole words. These key combos work in many editors, including browser edit boxes. using the (ctrl+)shift+arrows, and then ctrl-c, ctr-x or ctrl-v, for copy, cut, paste can be a lot faster for editing than highlighting code with the mouse.

I forget how the Alt+ stuff Thief was talking about works in VS, I think it can move a whole block of text around.

[alexandertnt]

the Alt+MouseDrag thing lets you select rectangular chunks of text, and copy, paste, and delete it.

You can also use it to type (it adds the character on each line), which can be super useful for doing things like turning a whole bunch of public variables into privates, ints to floats etc.

It's incredibly useful.
