I was wondering what error 1009 was, then almost as a response my debugger did this:
[Fault] exception, information=TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I mean, thanks debugger, now please stop breaking :(

I don't have any screenshots to show today, because I've mostly been working on the server-side of my game. I decided I would record a short video to you show you what I was working on, however, I realized it was really boring so I added some exciting music to make it more interesting.

Samesies! I didn't know coding was so colorful. Didn't know programmers even liked colours tbh. This is all shocking.

Coding without color is like making art with a mouse
wait
haha. There was suspense though too. At the one part I'm like. uh oh. He forgot a semicolon, I wonder how this will play out!
Then he takes a little time, and drops the semicolon right in there. I'm like, Amazing!

Are you secretly not American, and trying to resist the urge to spell "colour" correctly? ;)

I find your signature below this post somewhat-ironic :)
In seriousness, though, when Hollywood makes a movie that involves a hacker or a software engineer of some description, they for the most part portray us as being smarter than rocket scientists who graduated from Harvard twice. These software engineers tend to create (or already have created) something that rivals the powers of some sort of god.
So, I don't really mind much, no :P

I never get irritated by it since that would be a very petty thing to let bother me, but that is the reason that I didn't like Skyfall. Q could pretty much do literally anything with computers in that movie, which is stupid and made me lose all interest in watching it (I didn't finish it). Skyfall sucks.

Well, it WAS a picture of 4ur saying in Skype "Okay, let's try putting it in more places" which is probably those two trying to work out a bug by copying a resource or block of code in a bunch of different places at once and seeing if it still works (or works at all) :P

Yeah, that should work.

Ah, alright, I can't watch those bits. It's that level of "awkward" that just makes you squirm in your chair; like, the same reason I can't sit and watch awkward bits in movies or sitcoms because I just wind up getting out of my seat or something. Though this is for an entirely different reason, it's the same feeling I get.
"dump them on the other side of the router" - I can't handle buzzwords just being thrown around like that, even though I know it's not serious :(

Making a cookie clicker in C for a gameboy advanced emulator. I have to add some kind of collision mechanic, but there isn't a whole lot to do there. I might just add a bouncing ball on the side that does its own thing.

So, I'm gonna start learning Haxe, specifically HaxeFlixel. What was your biggest habit change you had to overcome?

As a Mac user -- no decent IDE. I use FlashBuilder for flash, which I've grown seriously used to. Luckily there is a Sublime plugin. Still not as good, though. I would welcome a solid Haxe IDE for Mac with open arms.

HIDE is a work in progress.

Tutorials and good documentation. The top level flixel classes are fairly good, but anything inside a package could have better descriptions (lots of misspellings too). It's also hard to tell what you can do with flixel; the demos are good, but I literally searched in the repo for "drawLine" to see if it existed and where it's located.
flixel.util.FlxSpriteUtil.drawLine()
Sometimes the enums are written within a class and have no documentation, so you have to find where they're first defined to see what the parameters are.

That's good to know, but I was referring mostly to Haxe from AS3

Probably because the Haxe port is still in progress and none of the AS3 classes had a designated class for mock enum constants

The only thing I don't like is that you can't iterate backwards like 10...-10

can you still use traditional for loops?
Also, this is fucking stupid
switch (value) {
case 1:
trace ("Equal to 1");
default:
trace ("Not equal to 1");
}
Thanks for the reference, though!

That is the traditional for loop. It feels very "psuedo-code"-y, but at the same time, I quite like it.
Also, this is fucking stupid
switch (value) {
case 1:
trace ("Equal to 1");
default:
trace ("Not equal to 1");
}
Why is this stupid?
apart from your egyptian braces </3
One thing that I think is a bad design choice is the omission of the protected keyword, and the change of the private keyword to be what protected means in AS3.

switches without breaks, what if several groups of values have the same outcome?

osnap

very stupid
additionally, these made me throw up:
Std.is (vehicle, Car)
why not just make a it a damn operator?
var car:Car = cast vehicle;
why change it at all.
public var x (get, set):Float;
function get_x ():Float { return _x; }
function set_x (value:Float):Float { return _x = value; }
I'm half for this and half against it, but why the underscore in the function name?
basically, if ou have the ability to change AS3 to look like this, why not just make it look like C#?
Good points:
function hello (msg:String):Void {}
var type:String->Void = hello;
that's just genius! maybe even better than C# delegates.
var table = new Map<String,Int> ();
wanted this for so long
I heard Haxe has some crazy for loop style inline array declaration, so I can create a for loop with ordered multiples of 2 up to 100. is that a thing?
