Just Rambling

Icon Leave Comment
So, my rpg is coming along pretty damn nicely. I have a fairly vast world to navigate through given this is my very first rpg attempt. I have the forest currently spawning a random collection of creatures based on level (which will be expanded to all terrains eventually). I have a combat system for the monsters you encounter, though they will not...

I'm Back but I Have Little to Say

Icon 7 Comments
Yeah, I'm back on the site after quite a hiatus.

One thing's for certain - my chess blog is pretty dead. I lost the code I was working on and I'm going to move onto new things anyway.

So, if you were following it - I'm very sorry. If not, who cares right?

What's a good C# book to learn from?

Head First C#

I've seen the thread a few times lately. Seriously, you won't find a better book on the subject for starting out in C#.

Comments are welcome IF you have read this book and can name a better one. At that point, I'm open to suggestions. If not, I don't care. You don't know what you're missing.

I've...

Plug: My Chess Adventure Blog

Icon Leave Comment
So, I'm exploiting the fact that I have a featured blog but I really think that a lot of you will be interested in following along.

If you're working in C# and would like to do some things with an existing code base, this might be for you.

Anyway, the premise is different from this blog in that it actually has a focus. Each post is...

Actual Programming Post - Events

EDIT: Screw all that
class Concept2{    public event EventHandler Explode = delegate { };    public void Test()    {        // Still no null check.        Explode(this, new EventArgs());    }}

Symbiosis

Hello again friends. I hope you're doing well and bathed in code - which hopefully works. Before I get into what I want to talk about, I have a bit of an apology to make.

I'm sorry that my blog is on the front page. I'm sorry it's shoved in your face when it (so far) really has nothing to do with programming. I'm sorry all of...

There is no such thing as bad code

Icon 4 Comments
There isn't.

Code is alive. It has an ebb and flow to it. There's a sort of ecosystem to a code base. It changes, evolves, devolves, morphs, changes, changes, changes.

You would think that in a field so accustomed to change we would have a fairly good understanding of the process itself. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Too often,...

What's in a name?

I am not a master of the craft by any means despite what this badge may convey. I believe I received it for providing solid, accurate help consistently and frequently from day one. Just something I had to get off my chest due to my recent postings. Writing demonstration code for someone's problem that isn't of very high quality is not...

Ignorance VS Stupidity

Icon 1 Comments
I appreciate the realization that I will never know everything there is to know. It makes me happy to know that the things I don't know are easily learned.

I also realize that I'm not stupid regardless of what anyone ever says contradictory to it. Why am I not stupid? It's because I know how to learn.

Quite frankly, knowing how to...

RPG : Comments

Oddly, today I came across two commenting techniques that I believe I'm going to use in my RPG code. Since this is a hobby project, I'm completely free to experiment with crap like this.

Anyway, the two techniques are:
  • Code Block Comments
  • Call Site Comments
