Re: Help learning other Languages

Some people like the book method, but what others haven't talked about is the "diving in" method. About a month ago, I wanted to give Erlang a shot. I knew Haskell a bit from a course I took last semester, and some of the ideas that a functional programming mindset bring are fairly applica...

Re: Splines!

I'll try and make a similar library to what vrld has over Spring Break (which is next week for my school). To the human eye, there isn't much difference between the continuity (smoothness) a cubic Catmull-Rom spline provides and higher degree Catmull-Rom splines, but when you start getting into shad...

Re: Splines!

I actually had to implement arbitrary splines are any degree for a graphics class this semester. I believe the method Ref is describing will only give you cubic Catmull-Rom splines. Granted, that's what most people use, but if you want something a bit more robust, here is some Lua code. I quickly co...

Re: Using metatables with middleclass

Seems like you are coming from a Java mindset, which is fine. But if you have no need to hide the variable other than it being "good Java practice" then don't hide it.

It looks like you are going through an unnecessary loop just to make Lua mold to what you might be more familiar with.

Re: Tiled Exports Lua files

I made an issue on the encoding and compression problem, and it looks like he just rips directly from GidMapper rather than run it through the same processes that the TMX exporter uses. void LuaPlugin::writeTileLayer(LuaTableWriter &writer, const TileLayer *tileLayer) { writer.writeStartTable();...

Re: Switching to Linux from Win7

As long as you have OpenOffice (or LibreOffice) then .docx files should be fine. (Open/Libre)Office Impress (the Powerpoint alternative) is not nearly as feature complete as MS Powerpoint, especially when importing .ppt/.pptx files. Best bet on that end would be to see if you can turn those in as .p...
