supposed to drink the whole bottle in one tic?

There is... Another way?

Yeah...it's the weirdest thing...if you spread out drinking to three or four tics, you can taste it!!  Some people don't like this approach, but to them I say, "Why are you spending money on real drinks when you can buy Everclear if all you want is alcohol?"

[Max White]

I think you missed the part where I conjure drinks out of thin air...

You never said that didn't cost money.  At the very least, it costs a few CPU cycles.  And if not...you mind sending a few of those my way?

[Max White]

It's a private attribute man.

It's a private attribute man. 

That's what getters and setters are for.

Code: [Select]

stargrasper.setBottle(max_white.getBottle(new Bottle(Drinks.CIDER));

Na man, I'm c#, we can do this really cool thing where we hide a method as an attribute, it's awesome. Watch.

Code: [Select]

public Bottle Drink
{
get
{
return this.activeDrink;
}
}

public Bottle Drink
{

{
return this.activeDrink;
}
}

Hide a method as an attribute...  I'm pretty sure I see a method as the outermost thing...and it contains another method, get...and it's public.

Either way, public Bottle Drink is a public method that returns a Bottle of the active drink!  If it's public, what's stopping me from using it for conjuration??

EDIT:
Looking back to my tutorial roadmap, how would people advise handling going back to concepts I intentionally skipped for one reason or other, forgot, or otherwise missed?  Should that be it's own little lessonlet?  Should I append it to a lesson that I'm already expecting to be kind of long (Arrays and Loop)?  Try to save it to append to a shorter lesson (which may be awhile)?

Hmmm...

Code: [Select]

this.Drink(new Bottle(Drinks.CIDER));


There are some gaping discrepancies between the Drink methods in these examples.

[Stargrasper]

Not so much.  It's just an overloaded method.  The one without parameters returns the active drink while the one with parameters returns the input drink.  Although I suppose I should be worried about the fact that when you Drink something, it returns what you're drinking...  Does that mean you're puking it back or is it coming out the other end?

Fuck internally consistent logic.

Hide a method as an attribute...  I'm pretty sure I see a method as the outermost thing...and it contains another method, get...and it's public.

Point is that you would invoke it with

Code: [Select]

Bottle stolenBottle = max.Drink;No arguments, not even parentheses. From the point of view of any other class, it looks just like an attribute.

So you can overload attributes with methods? Sounds cool, but I prefer not having non-private attributes at all.

Neat.

I need to find a day to play with C#.  I really do.  Do either of you, or anyone else, have advice handling my tutorial roadmap?  I'm going to have to backpedal at some point.

That is the point, it acts like a method. You can throw what ever you like inside a get or set, including thread safeing. Your innocent private attributes remain safe from being set at the will or any other class, letting methods pretending to be attributes take the grunt work.
It replaces the need to always use methods for getters and setters.

I need to find a day to play with C#.  I really do.

Think that is cool? Nameless methods, commonly called indexes. They are not just for arrays.

This

Code: [Select]

public Bottle this[int index]
{
get
{
return this.fridge[index];
}
}is invoked by this

Code: [Select]

int x = GetSomeInt();
Bottle stolenBottle = max[x];

[MagmaMcFry]

This

Code: [Select]

public Bottle this[int index]
{
get
{
return this.fridge[index];
}
}is invoked by this

Code: [Select]

int x = GetSomeInt();
Bottle stolenBottle = max[x];

Where exactly?
