Re: New Years

I'm going to stay home and celebrate one year of animating... I started in WMM with This crappy copy-and-paste-in-paint cartoon. Too bad I never continued it...

I kid.

RE: Binary Coding

That's not really binary, though. Binary is coding from the perspective of false = 0; true = 1. Your example is jusy basic returns. As fas as my understanding goes, it works like this.

GO is a boolean value; either true or false.
!GO is just the opposite value to GO.
GO == false is a statement with a boolean return

So, in your example you're basically taking a boolean and using it in a comparison to return another boolean, which is pretty pointless. The real life equivalent is saying something like if your house is blue then paint your house blue.

What I still wonder about is how if(!number) compares to if(number == 0) in speed, since it's not a boolean value to begin with. Other false or true equivalents, too.

Somewhere there is a thread where dEltaluca and some others ran a bunch of speed tests about various things. That one has a quite large difference. A couple others where these:

if(go){//this}else{//that} is better than go ? //this : //that rendering conditionals only good for neatness.

Yeah, conditionals are pretty inferior to if statements, and binary for that matter.

another one...

var+=1 is better than var++ and var++ and ++var are equivalent.

That bit did suprise me :P Remember the thread.

RE: New Year

I've still got a pretty bad cold (NO WAI), so I'll probably make a point of overdosing on NightNurse and going to sleep at like nine or something, just because I can. I'm not working up much enthusiasm for random times anyway.

What are you all up to for new year? I'm going to a house party same place I went last year.

Freaky. I'm doing literally the exact same thing. Gonna get wasted. Yay!

RE: New Year

i'm probably going to do nothing different. i can't say i'm too excited over eval(++_root.year);.

The two samples I said were the same in functioning. If not GO and if GO is false. They both do the same thing, but if not GO is faster.

So, in your example you're basically taking a boolean and using it in a comparison to return another boolean, which is pretty pointless. The real life equivalent is saying something like if your house is blue then paint your house blue.

I wasn't returning another boolean, but rather testing the boolean GO: if GO is false do whatever. Which would be if(GO==false){}. The other one would be read as if not GO do whatever, if(!GO){}. Nothing new is added, and both handlers do the same. But I do see what you are saying with the redundancy, and that is probably why that option is slower. What's faster? Snapping your fingers once, or snapping them twice? Same principle I presume.

I wouldn't consider myself a very efficient coder, and I wouldn't doubt it if I sound like a noob :P

well, i can snap my index fingers rather fast. it depends on the time per snap. if it takes me, say, 20 ms to snap (being figurative here, kthx) one finger, and i snap both index fingers within 30 milliseconds, that's technically 15 ms/snap. :P

i'll be your friend. <3

Nah, if(GO == false) is basically two booleans.

GO is a boolean
!GO is a boolean
(a == b) is a boolean

When you make any sort of comparison, you're looking for a boolean; true if x is equal to y, or greater than, or whatever, and false if it isn't. NOT just reverses a boolean, so it's going to be faster.

Re: Coders and Artist Couples!

Volarin. We haven't made a single game yet.

RE: Flash Forum Class of '06

I've been so busy the past week or so. I almost completely missed it, but luckily I caught it in your sig. Great job jmtb, it's sooo cute. Thanks for including me :)

RE: Artist and Coder couples

i'm my own artist and my own coder, except for special occasions when i feel like letting someone else do the work for me! :P

Yeah, same. I occasionally get a handy artist like Zoy or Fuzz to do a little thing, but i try and do the main art + programming myself.

Last Day For 'The Flash Reg Lounge'??

If people remember, a few weeks ago, there was lots of discussion about locking the thread on New Year. Is that still going to happen? I really think the threads improved allot :).

hint hint :P.

RE: Thread locking

please lets not get to far into this, but as far as i know, it is better. well...it was. the past 5 or 6 pages have been spammy by my standards. I think we still have a long way to go before this thing can be considered a working thread. right now its not better then it was a montha go, with or without the bolding text.

anyway, maybe a new topic will due...but its to late and i cant think of anything. nighty night.

Re: Sunshine Crew

I watch the videos... but they annoy the heck out of me.

Sunshine crew
Its a good laugh, i never vote on them if i would it would be low. But the fact they get through the portal time after time makes them even better.
Not to be taken seriously

Game
I love how this is looking so im posting a screen shot. This was before paranoia added code. But he has now and the engine is working. Comments?

re locking

the stupid think wont bold lol

no i think they shuldn't lock it
