Isn't what you described the intuitive behaviour? if you want a click event attached to a specific HTML element then you have to tell the code which element you want it for. Any element can have click events, and/or you might want multiple buttons.

I'm guessing you originally wrote:

document.addEventListener("click", writeStats);

But that literally means to attach the event to every element on the page.

Yes, I know. Sorry, I worded it strangely.

I have possibly maybe hopefully just got myself a job. As in an actual career job, not a once-off.


The IT guy at my stepdad's work has a brother who just went into a professional business. It just so happened that the IT guy's brother happened to mention to my stepfather that he was looking for an apprentice. My stepdad immediately volunteered myself and I had an interview about it yesterday, which went extremely well. I'll find out next week if I get the position or not.

Good luck, you lucky bastard

I've been doing stuff with SFML (a multimedia library) and my current project draws and zooms in on fractals (mostly the mandelbrot fractal). I got it working, but it was so and so I decide to multithread it.

I've never worked with multithreading before.

As it turns out, even enabling C++11, my IDE does not support multithreading without some changes with the compiler (which I'm not going to mess with yet because that could break everything). Luckily, SFML has its own implementation. The problem? Threads have to be declared at function initialization, which means their inputs need to be known at that time. However, I have to pass multiple types of data to get the functions to work correctly.

PPE: Nevermind, I realized that everything I need can either be a member variable that can be looked up by member functions or it can be passed to a function with a data type that holds multiple values (arrays, vectors, sf::Vector, etc). Basically, I spent an over an hour trying to solve a simple problem.

Pretty sure an alternative C++ way to get around that problem would be to just pass around void pointers and manually cast them back to whatever they were supposed to be (which is horrifying, of course ).

I can't seem to get this updateFields() function to work properly and update the Derived Stats fields. Something is possibly wrong with my weaponAttack() function as well.

The problems as I see them:
- proficiency1 needs to be declared in order to be used in the rest of the function but I'm not sure how to do this without making another button, which would be ridiculous. Is there some way I can do this with logic inside the updateFields() function?
- weaponAttack1() and weaponTriangleHit() have a similar problems to the above, I think. I'm also wondering if the way I set the functions up is going to return a single numerical value like I intended.

Edit: Stuff has changed since this post. The problems evolved. Yay.

Can anyone suggest a good c++ date (or date/time) class implementation?

Hard mode: don't use the word "boost"

[Reelya]

There are quite a few time functions built into C++, especially since C++11, including various ways to store, calculate and format times. But you'd need to find ones that are suitable to your needs. And probably wrap them up in a small class to make them easy for you to use. It really depends on exactly what you need.

This date handling library, which is sort of a natural extension of <chrono> for use with dates, is looking promising so far.

Is it weird that, after not looking at a piece of code for a while, I come back to it and it looks like a worthless pile of spaghetti? No matter how well-planned and elegant it seemed in the moment?

it's normal. it's the 'shit in a can' effect. when you don't remember the shit is yours, it smells awful.

I am actually quite proud that recently I did some work on a library I effectively abandoned years ago and I understood everything almost perfectly.

But yeah, most of the time coming back to old code requires some reading, thought and experimentation to figure out what is going in.

I have a game I've been working on since the start of last year, and a good 40% of it is eldritch mystery to me now
