Shit, I need to call my boss and tell him our coding standards document has leaked.

Olemars every time you post I am further convinced that your avatar is actually your portrait.

print("hello world") is very rare in my programs.  I usually say print("test successfull").

Speaking of printing, Does anyone here have experience with Python console output on Windows? On Linux, there is Curses, but the Windows version seems to be super old and incomplete to begin with. I haven't actually tried it yet, I was just wondering is anyone else has.

I tried python as part of a physics project.
Wound up hating it. 
It felt like arbitrary code waiting to happen due to a lack of type-safety.

I'm having trouble grokking what this means. Care to explain?

Wiki seems to be telling me that Python does have type-safety in the form of runtime dynamic type-checking. ???
Maybe you're confusing strongly typed with type-safety?

Eg, TI-BASIC doesn't have types, I think.

TI-BASIC don't have shit. Nothing but 28 global variables and lists to work with. I usually use lists as local variables, but there's not enough memory to hold too many lists; plus, everything is really slow. It's damn interesting to program with such constraints.

Depending on the calculator, you can make more space. My TI 81 Silver came with a bunch of worthless programs which I erased with the memory management feature. Clear out some RAM and ROM space, and suddenly it will actually run a good deal faster. Though still really slow if you use TI-BASIC; you really need assembly for any decent speed on those things.

Biggest problem with TI-Basic is no objects. Also TI-Basic does have types, but only a few. Try storing a string to A and then adding it to an int B.

Does anyone know a good way to get mouse position using javascript on a canvas? evt.layerX and evt.layerY are getting the overall position for some reason.

I've been working on my archipelago map generation some this weekend, and I now have a static "static" generator.

Basically it is a location aware seed number generator that will let me implement highly scalable terrain generation. I could easily generate a map with a surface area larger than earth with 1 meter resolution. And better yet, I can reproduce any part of that map dynamically and relatively efficiently without having to generate the whole thing.

As an added side bonus, it seems to produce fewer visual pattern artifacts than java's basic Random.

yea... I know it isn't much to look at.

You want to see the torment of souls?

This is my first test run of the new terrain algorithm...

yea. that isn't right.
