any thoughts on the mountain goats? also was wondering if you're already into Stephin Merritt (&c) or if he's a revolution that will occur later in life for you. |

Max: There were like 60 entrants.
c: Yes! The first year I did it I was totally unprepared. It is nice to be competitive now. I don't understand why it gets longer each year, but it can't do that for more than one more!

I commend your improvement over the past two years! I remember your 2004 finish of glory, so 8 is certainly a big jump up. |

[ BAD SAT SCORES ]
is a 1540 bad? |

Moral: decide for yourself what "expressive power" means, by trying to express your favorite programs and invariants in various languages. Exercise: how would you express abstraction invariants in lisp, seeing as how it lacks a static type system? |
| |
|
|
| |
The main point I'm getting out of this is "I should take another look at SML," and I will. Previously, pretty much everything I'd read about the language was bad: Lisp users bashing it for being static and thus lacking expressive power; Haskell users bashing it for being impure and non-strict and thus lacking expressive power; and users of the language who say it's "dead" and they need to make a new dialect of it so they can add much-needed features (thus "Successor ML"). I figured if the language is criticized from all these different angles, it must suck. But now I'll look at it again.
The licensing argument may not be applicable specifically to SML, but it applies to Ocaml, which you also mentioned. I need C either way for my operating system, and, I'd guess, for parts of the language's runtime system, so that's moot. Also, gcc is not the only C compiler out there: there's TenDRA, for example.
Conclusion: We're both right.
Also yes, the wording in the first post from this IP address was ill-chosen. Sorry about that.

Aww, when I say "you guys" I of course mean "you guys and gals!" Unfortunately there isn't a good plural 'you' in English! |

New Haven CT is the 9th ring of hell. Proof? GWB, the Antichrist, was born here. I rest my case. Beyond that, there is no middle class, the poorest are being gentrified, and all of our elected officials are going to jail for outrageous corruption-related scandals, such as stealing money from state coffers, molesting children or dealing with the mob. Oh yeah, what a wonderful place. Connecticut: More Than Just a Pit Stop On I-95 Between Boston and New York!!!

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
Good news for me. It was the seal on the toliet, also my toliet had been running some, which provided a source for the mushroom to grow. I called a plumber, he replaced the seal, and put a $2 part in the tank of the toilet. I had no permanent water damage under the toilet. My advice is if you see any kind of mushroom in your bathroom that means you have a problem. Call a plumber and get it fixed asap, and never eat anything that grows in your bathroom. |

Ah, I see. That makes sense since unicode embeds ASCII; I was just surprised that ESCAPE would be a unicode character, for instance, but I wasn't thinking carefully.
I guess I'll try it and you guys can tell me how it works! |
| |
I guess, all ASCIIs 1-127 should be properly handled with unicode. Equality of sym and uni depends on the keyboard-layout and the mapping of course.
F.e. the parentheses on QWERTZ-keyboards (or only on german?) are <shift>-<8> and <shift>-<9>, brackets are <r-alt>-<8> and <r-alt>-<9> and the sym will be 8 or 9 for each. But unicode is set to the correct ASCII value. Sorry, i said that wrong before.
unicode even handles the numbers right with AZERTY-mappings (french), where they are reached with <shift>. |
| |
Thanks wowei and welcome! This sounds like a good solution. How can I tell what SDLK_ constants work for both unicode and sym? Is that documented somewhere? I'd love to fix this since Escape players are quite geographically diverse.
BTW, I just uploaded a new source archive yesterday, so the [d] key should be there now. |

hi tom,
i found this board for the first time (blush), I always thought this feedback-thingy would pop up a mailto-link.
I read here, you are working on the prob with different keyboard-mappings. I think, that only a minor change is needed for that, because SDL comes with all the translation-stuff within. For my german-keymap I successfully changed the keyboard-event-handler stuff in edit.cpp and play.cpp like this:
split the event.key.keysym switch into two parts, where you can look at the keysym.unicode in one part and the keysym.sym in the other:
switch(event.key.keysym.unicode) {
/* here goes everything that is identical for unicode and sym */
case SDLK_ESCAPE:
...
/* and the only important part for a _german_ keymapping is this */
case SDLK_LEFTBRACKET:
...
}
switch(event.key.keysym.sym) {
/* here goes everything else that isnt handled properly by unicode
that should be only cursor-keys, f-keys or */
case SDLK_DOWN:
...
}
it's working fine here with a small drwaback: the <d>-key-"cheat" isnt included in the sources of 2005-10-13 yet, and so i have to decide, if i want to zoom or wanna see destinations while playing. ;) (switching the keymapping is the alternative and is fast to do in linux, but its annoying anyway)
greetz, and thanks for a really great game

Bummer. This is with the binary distribution, or are you trying to compile it yourself? Adam and I worked this out in a way so it is "supposed" to work on all systems. Urgh. I suck at linux too. Why is it so hard to make binary distributions of software for linux? |
| |
Hey Tom!
I suck at Linux, so I was maybe wondering if you could tell me why I can't get Escpe to work on my box. Here is the message I get:
bash-3.00$ ./escape.exe: /usr/local/libexec/gcc-3.2.3/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5)
I tried finding out what version of GCC I had, but it said I had a newer version than 3.3. (3.4.2) I'm on a facilitized machine though so maybe I cannot be helped. :( |
