#270192 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 10 September 2017 - 06:24 PM in Forum Games

Granted. Individually, your PC's fans are very quiet, however, when grouped up near your computer, the fangirls' and fanboys' screaming reaches 200 dB through constructive interference.

I wish people answered the question I asked and not the barely-related question to which I already knew the answer they imagined me asking.



#270120 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 08 September 2017 - 12:21 AM in Forum Games

Granted. Your laptop is now so powerful that its battery cannot supply it, be it charging or not. As a side effect, once you turn it on, it also produces a liquid mixture of silicon and plastic.

I wish project names were easier to come up with.



#270091 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 06 September 2017 - 09:08 PM in Forum Games

Granted, but they immediately forget it afterwards.

I wish Xelostar didn't know me. (see #3166/#3167)



#270042 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 05 September 2017 - 10:24 PM in Forum Games

Granted, however it always says "That's what she said." at the worst possible times and refuses to say anything else.

I wish I knew how to draw more than just modern "art".



#269906 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 01 September 2017 - 08:08 PM in Forum Games

granted.lua:273: no such user "Saldor0ten"

I wish Xelostar removed all the green from his profile picture.



#269869 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 31 August 2017 - 05:35 PM in Forum Games

Granted, however your ISP is having issues renewing their contracts with other ISPs and so most of the internet cannot access your host.

I wish all Android device OEMs designed their devices to work flawlessly with stock Android and allowed users to get updates as soon as they were released by Google.



#269860 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 31 August 2017 - 02:22 PM in Forum Games

Granted. Just a warning: don't try to park your real car on a slope.

I wish EA and Ubisoft weren't terrible publishers.



#269804 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 30 August 2017 - 09:42 AM in Forum Games

Granted. All its bugs have been labelled as "features".

I wish self-motivation were easier.



#269324 Sorting

I understand. Thanks! :)

Why does your 3D rendering algorithm need sorting anyway? GPUs normally just render vertices in the order they're provided and use depth testing to avoid drawing a background vertex on top of a foreground vertex.



#269258 Peripheral line 74, too long without yielding

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 26 August 2017 - 07:45 PM in Ask a Pro

You don't need the sleep(0) on line 151, os.pullEvent already yields on its own.



#269257 Dash - L2drive a manual car!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 26 August 2017 - 07:41 PM in Programs

Wouldn't that have the massive overhead of opening the socket every time you try to read from the controller.

You might get away with partial responses (allowing you to send an infinite amount of data in response to 1 GET) but that's only if CC supports it, and the server wouldn't know when to stop sending inputs.



#269245 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 25 August 2017 - 11:25 PM in Forum Games

Granted, you never had a phone in the first place but you retain the memories of having one.

I wish politicians were less self-entitled.



#269243 EMAL - Event Monitoring and Logging

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 25 August 2017 - 05:11 PM in Programs

In that case you could include a log viewing utility that allows you to filter out certain types of events.

Now we need a way to rig up some gaming pedals :P.

What's the easiest way to make analog redstone signals? Would redstone have enough resolution for controllers?

That solution would require a mod that adds a block that outputs a redstone signal between 0 and 15 based on the position of the analog input.
Redstone should have enough resolution to avoid stalling, but it wouldn't be smooth.



#269241 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 25 August 2017 - 05:00 PM in Forum Games

Granted, you have been given Heavy's sandvich.

I wish I had a faster internet connection.



#269238 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 25 August 2017 - 02:18 PM in Forum Games

Granted, but only your body reverts to the way it was 4 seconds ago. As a side effect, you also lose all recollection of the past 4 seconds.

I wish my previous wish had actually been granted, instead of a bogus "I wish I could remember everything" wish I never made.



#269215 redstone loops clock output

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 24 August 2017 - 11:34 AM in Ask a Pro

Either use some form of world sensor or store the current index in a file.



#269194 redstone loops clock output

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 23 August 2017 - 03:32 PM in Ask a Pro

It should be ("left", true) and ("left", false). Missing commas and true/false is a boolean, not a string.



#269165 True Encrypted Chat (no name found lul)

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 22 August 2017 - 04:15 AM in Programs

Lua can handle big modulo calculations with an efficient algorithm. There's a fairly simple algorithm in O(log n), compared to the "subtract modulus until less than modulus" algorithm in O(n).

Namely, that algorithm involves using the binary decomposition of the operand. Here's some pseudocode.

function modulo(n, m)
	p = {m}
	while p[#p] < n do
		p[#p + 1] = 2 * p[#p]
	end
	while n < m do
		p[#p] = nil
		if n > p[#p] then
			n = n - p[#p]
		end
	end
	return n
end

Naturally, you're free to come up with your own algorithm.



#269164 DISH - Interactive Remote Shell

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 22 August 2017 - 04:02 AM in Programs

Why is the modem side hardcoded?



#269152 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 21 August 2017 - 09:48 AM in Forum Games

Granted, but they gradually degrade in quality.

I wish I could selectively remember things for as long as I want in one attempt with no additional effort.



#269130 File handle

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 19 August 2017 - 11:49 PM in Ask a Pro

"Absolute path" refers to the path you'd use to access it if your current directory were the root directory.

For example, the shell program's absolute path is "rom/programs/shell" (or "/rom/programs/shell", the "/" forces it to be interpreted as absolute),



#269120 Corrupt-A-Wish!

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 19 August 2017 - 04:31 PM in Forum Games

Granted. The amount of energy in the potatoes is so great that your body violently explodes due to the ionization of all its atoms.

I wish I didn't constantly get distracted by YouTube.



#269115 Guess Who's Below

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 19 August 2017 - 02:40 PM in Forum Games

It's such a pity you can't spell the word phoenix.

I dare you to reply again, EldidiStroyrr.



#269113 Guess Who's Below

Posted by The Crazy Phoenix on 19 August 2017 - 01:27 PM in Forum Games

I don't think I'm therockettek.

BombBloke, I choose you!
