Nah, most here are pretty lazy when it comes to actually finishing a project. I'm guilty.

Until now that is! I'm finishing PonyCraft.

TheComet, weren't you making a Smash Bros. styled game? Have you finished that?

Oh, and have you started that Minecraft server yet?

Bought Crysis again to try and get an idea of how well my graphics card is functioning after the great repair. I used to play medium setting when my laptop was originally bought...and it's working just fine at medium setting again. Meaning despite the card overheating and causing damage to the motherboard it seems to be working at its maximum capacity (see what I did there?). Sadly though, SW:TOR & Sonic Generations experience lag, but then it just might be the games. I know I am below spec for Sonic Generations, I know most new Sonic games have been rubbish, but it's trying to be nostalgic with all the good Sonic games, meaning it's sort of fun to play.

But this result is pleasing. Though I'll buy a cooling pad for it to be on the safe side.

Comet, you should design and fabricate some boards that create a 4 bit processor from discrete logic chips!

Been there, done that (in MineCraft). 4 Bits isn't enough for anything really.

The complexity of that Minecraft circuit makes me want to hug you.

No homo, of course!

Edit:

When I first saw that thing that says PGRM interface, I though it said "Porn Interface"

ARRRGGG!!!

I've spent the last four hours trying to figure out why storing a value into a memblock ends up almost maxing out how far a dword can go, even with seeing the correct value of the variable right before I write it in!!! Then I thought about the help file saying the range is from 0-4294967295, and that I have been trying to store a negative number...


Edit: Anyone know of a good way to store a negative number in a memblock? The only way I can think of is to store a flag in the memblock right before the variable that I'm trying to store in the memblock telling me whether or not it's negative, and just change the value when I unpack everything.

That just doesn't seem like a good approach though

32-bit signed integers (the default type in DBP) have a range of -2147483648 to 2147483647. 32-bit unsigned integers (called dwords in DBP) have a range of 0 to 4294967295. Negative numbers use two's complement. I won't go into to much detail about that here, but basically it means that -1 and 4294967295 are represented the same way, as are -2 and 4294967294, or -5 and 4294967291. How that data is interpreted depends on the data type. In that example I gave you, b and c both contain the exact same data, but b is signed and c is unsigned, so b is -5 and c is 4294967291.

@rand(128):

Ok, I think I figured it out. I have been trying to print it directly from the memblock:



but when I store the memblock data in a variable and display the variable, it is correct.

So when I transfer the data into the memblock, it changes the datatype into a unsigned integer, right?

Note to self: always check randomly typed URLs before using them as your signature on a public forum.

See, I randomly typed the URL

http://www.wwwcom.com/www/com/

as my signature, which happens to be a pornographically oriented website.

Don't go to that site
