I don't really have any ideas right now, although I'm sure I will once the first version is released and I've played around with it a little while, I'm excited to see what you come up with though

I like this idea alot (networking is my favorite part of cc) although this post should go in general no? Or at least until you have some code to share

Amazing program! It makes it super easy for the graphically challenged (which I am) and lazy (which I also am) to focus on functionality instead of nice graphics. With that said, there are a few notes that I have.

1.) The key event doesn't support the fn key and the command key, not on my mac anyway. It was an easy fix though. I just added a check in the event handling part of the cobalt program.
2.) It would be nice to have each object have a "visible" attribute that would allow me to hide and show an object without changing cobalt.state
3.) While the graphics are impressive, it is really only useful for creating basic things like menus and log in screens. Now don't get me wrong, those things are useful, it would just be nice for it to be able to handle more challenging graphical problems. For example, if you could remove buttons from a panel, or draw them directly to the screen.

I really do like the callback feature though. I think that's the best thing about cobalt. Not only does it makes graphics super easy, it makes the actual programming easier too. It's less typing and less headaches for me XD. Overall, well done. I don't download programs from the forums that often, let alone use them, let alone take the time to give feedback (I usually prefer to build all of my own tools). So again, good job!

Ohhhh, that's good to know cause the 1.6.4 ICBM is so much better than the 1.7.10.

What version of ICBM are you using? Cause I didn't know that the 1.7.10 ICBM even had support for CC

Yeah, I actually wrote one a while ago for CS class that did just that. It would look for single letters and judging on the frequency would assign it to either "i" or "a". And because "e" is rarely mis-assigned. You can go through and find the three letter word with the highest frequency ending in the letter assumed to be "e" and assign the first two letters to "t" and "h". I just used a bunch of little stuff like that along with the frequency analysis and it worked pretty good. I mean of course it's not perfect, but it was able to crack a lot of the ciphers I gave it.


//More on topic
I think it would be col to have a pastebin program that stores in a server somewhere how many times people download your program. Kinda like a nelson box for CC.

Glad I could help! Your implementation seems right so just let me know if you have any problems with it

I like to use a for loop for stuff like this. However you can use paintutils if you redirect to the monitor.

Like this

mon = peripheral.wrap(monSide) --Wraps the peripheral
oldTerm = term.redirect(mon) --Redirects the term while storing the old term in a variable named oldTerm
coloredPortion = math.floor((currentPower/maxPower) * width) --Calculates the width of the colored portion
paintutils.drawLine(startX, y, startX + width, y, barColor) --Draws the bar
paintutils.drawLine(startX,y,startX + coloredPortion, coloredPart) --Draws the colored portion over the bar
term.redirect(oldTerm) --Sets the term back to normal

However if you have an irrational aversion to paintutils like myself or you don't want to redirect the term, you can create your own draw line method like this

function drawLine(x,y,length,color) --Defines the function
  oldBgColor = term.getBackgroundColor() --Gets the current background color
  for i = x, (length + x) do --Starts a for loop starting at x and ending when x gets to x + length
	term.setCursorPos(i,y) --Set the cursor position to i,y
	term.setBackgroundColor(color) --Set the background color to the color
	term.write(" ") --Write that color to the screen
  end
  term.setBackgroundColor(oldBgColor) --Reset the background color
end

Of course should you decide to use this function you would have to tweak the first block of code. Just change the paintutils.drawLine() functions to this.

drawLine(startX, y, width, barColor) --Draws the bar
drawLine(startX, y, coloredPortion, coloredPart) --Draws the colored part over the bar

There you go, hope I could help.

No I know what he's talking about, it's a problem with the event handling. When I made it, there was no "key_release" event. It's an easy fix, I've just been busy with my server project. I'll update it though if there is people who want it updated.

We aren't really looking for any more team members at the moment, but help/support is always appreciated! If you wish to help, we are thinking of adding an arcade at spawn and we need games/game ideas for it. Thank you so much though for your support!

Wait, so theoretically, could one change the bios.lua to make regular computers the same as advanced computers? Or is there something in the java code that says that non-advanced computers can't have color.

I think we can add one more to our little group
What experience do you have with building and coding?

This is really well done, do you mind if I use this on a server I'm trying to put together?

Sweet, then your in! I'm still working out details with Danny but once I get them I'll PM you and we can start building and set a open date.

I would love your help! I took a look at your programs and your gui skills are impressive (which is pretty much all that is left on the programming side). What api did you use for FileX? Also what are your building skills like?

A few suggestions:

A.) Indent your code- This won't change the function of the program but it will make you seem more experienced as this is a common practice amongst professional programmers
B.) Don't use shell.run('clear')- Again, this won't change the function of the program but will make you seem more experienced
C.) Add a variable at the beginning for the input side so people can change it easier.
D.) Put your code in a while true loop that way you don't have to reset the program after every tornado.
E.) Add support for monitors. For example, when a tornado warning is issued, the computer would put the message on all the monitors it is connected to.

Other than that, good program!

Awesome! I've worked on it a little bit more since that video. Everything works, it just needs to be polished a little bit. If you want to meet me on a server some time to work out everything I'm free pretty much any time. I would love to see this project up and running and I think it would be a lot of fun.

Right, and I don't think it was ever meant to be something serious. I think it was meant to just be a fun game for people to play around with as well as an impressive bit of code. All I'm saying is that the value is not inherit in the Krist, it's whatever people give it, which right now, is very little.

Exactly! Just as with the American dollar (or any currency really), it becomes more and more valuable as people start to offer goods in exchange for it (like logos or server store or anything like that). And when someone offers a service on the forums (say a server hosting service or something like that) that charges Krist and peaks your interest, you will more than likely find Krist useful then.

Oh I see well that makes sense, I don't really care about that though, I gave up on krist a while ago, I just like making group programs.

CrazedProgrammer, on 17 June 2016 - 09:31 PM, said:

Why would it be a joke? Companies are just an organization of people working towards a common goal. In this case, that goal is creating CC programs

Yeah and besides, any type of currency we use really only has value because we arbitrarily decided it did. Paper money is just tree bark painted green and is only worth something because people will accept it as valuable.
