16:11:49nevetFactoids tagged 'ide': eclipse, ide, idea, and netbeans
16:11:53dreamrealeclipse
16:11:53nevetEclipse is one of the "big two" java IDEs, and is generally free, although there are commercial variants. Built on OSGi, it's got an incredibly large ecosystem. URL: https://eclipseide.org/ Tag: ide
16:11:58dreamrealOkay, so...
16:12:04dreamrealarticle I have an idea
16:12:04nevetIdea session started: "I have an idea". Use 'content <text>' to add body paragraphs, 'done' to save, or 'cancel' to discard.
16:12:19dreamrealcontent it's a great idea. It's like built on the best ideas ever. It's got something to do with puppies.
16:12:19nevetContent block #1 added to "I have an idea". Use 'content <text>' to add more, or 'done' to save.
16:12:26dreamrealcontent or maybe pokemon? I'm not sure.

16:14:21dreamrealSo the timer is set to five minutes by default... but you can just jot crap down as you like. You don't HAVE to interact with it; it'll time out after a while and just write it.
16:14:39dreamrealAnd YOU should be able to do it, too: try it. The syntax is "!article [title here]"
16:14:56dreamrealactually, PLEASE try it

16:15:03dreamrealoooo damn
16:15:08dreamrealokay, cool, THANK you!
16:15:24ParaNot quite the multiplayer experience.
16:15:25dreamrealIt's supposed to be tied to the person who writes the session
16:15:28dreamrealnot yet, right
16:15:36dreamrealHey, I threw this together THIS MORNING
16:16:40dreamrealIt's actually pretty easy to do but I'm working out the requirements as I go so there's some refinement
16:16:55dreamrealand most of the similar actions ARE tied to channels and not people
16:17:10dreamreallike, 21 is tied to a channel, same for hangman, etc

16:31:10dreamrealideas
16:31:19dreamreal(this PMs the source, who has to be an admin)
16:31:33dreamrealAnd there you go! It's working.
16:31:40Paracancel
16:31:46dreamrealnot too bad for an idea three hours old.
16:31:55ParaGood, it didn't bork on that either.
16:31:58ParaNo ghosts.
16:32:00dreamreal*nod*
16:32:16dreamrealSo now if I ever get the website up we can LITERALLY draft articles over IRC
16:32:26dreamrealjust capture an idea on the fly
16:32:44ParaThat kinda works on high level on what I've been designing for my own blog thing, btw.
16:32:52dreamrealI might add something to append channel context on demand, but hey
16:32:55ParaBecause of course I'm doing it the hard way as well.
16:33:07dreamrealnice! The repo here it https://github.com/jottinger/bytecode.news
16:33:20ParaYou could have a meeting notes recorder with this as well.
16:33:55ParaBasically some kind of !start/!members @a @b @ c/!stop and then just...well, log that nonsense as an article. Or content blocks.
16:34:01dreamrealIt has a web API but not an interface. And yes, exactly: the !content resets the timeout so you could literally use the same article as a scratchpad for an hour, two hours, whatever, as long as you didn't let the timer expire
16:34:27dreamrealbut this is basically me trying to figure out how ack/syn would be useful as a state transition thing
16:34:31dreamrealso thank you
16:34:54ParaBest ideas come from playing around.
16:36:21dreamrealDOING the state transition was going to be nothing - although it'd have had the same provenance detection that we ran into, where two people weren't able to use it at the same time - but that was literally a one-line change
16:38:20dreamrealhangman

16:42:17Para21 take 3
16:42:17nevetThe plot thickens. With great confidence, I take 1. There are 17 matches remaining.
16:42:21dreamrealThis is PURELY a toy: it's got some interesting concepts in it but it was really about demonstrating that state management worked. It's just ALSO by channel.
16:42:26Para21 take 3
16:42:26nevetA calculated risk. After careful consideration, I take 1. There are 13 matches remaining.
16:42:29Para21 take 3
16:42:29nevetYou surprise me. With practiced ease, I take 1. There are 9 matches remaining.
16:42:38ParaDoing simple blackjack is also possible with this.
16:42:42dreamrealyep.
16:42:46ParaAnd with casino rules.
16:43:21dreamrealYeah. I have a full star trader economy engine in the repo; it's not got any operations tied to it yet but it's on the way. (I'm testing out the economic system's rigor.)
16:43:36dreamrealit's a lot more complicated than star traders though
16:43:54dreamrealit's got an actual market and models supply and demand with labor costs, etc
16:44:09dreamreal21 take 3
16:44:09nevetinteresting. Decisively, I take 1. There are 5 matches remaining.
16:44:47dreamreal21 take 2
16:44:47nevetWe might as well be playing rock, paper, scissors! I am inevitable, I take 2. You are left with one match. I claim victory!
16:45:13dreamrealIt has one answer where it says "I expected you to take #, and you did! Therefore, I take..."
16:45:25dreamreal(it actually uses the player guess in the response text)

17:03:39nevetA bold strategy, Cotton! Methodically, I take 2. There are 17 matches remaining.
17:03:41dreamreal21 take 2
17:03:41nevetA calculated risk. Reluctantly, but inevitably, I take 2. There are 13 matches remaining.
17:03:43dreamreal21 take 2
17:03:43nevetA bold strategy, Cotton! Without hesitation, I take 2. There are 9 matches remaining.
17:03:45dreamreal21 take 2
17:03:45nevetFascinating. After much deliberation, I take 2. There are 5 matches remaining.
17:03:47dreamreal21 take 2
17:03:47nevetOh, I was hoping you'd do that. With great fury, I take 2. And so the last match falls to you. A noble effort.
17:03:51dreamreal21 matches
17:03:51nevetA new game of 21 Matches begins! There are 21 matches on the table. Take 1, 2, or 3 matches each turn. Whoever is forced to take the last match loses. Use '21 take <1-3>' to play.
17:03:56dreamreal21 take 2
17:03:56nevetHow delightfully aggressive. Methodically, I take 2. There are 17 matches remaining.
17:03:58dreamreal21 take 2
17:03:58nevetThat was... certainly a move. After a moment's pause, I take 2. There are 13 matches remaining.
17:04:00dreamreal21 take 2
17:04:00nevetAh, just as I expected. Savoring the moment, I take 2. There are 9 matches remaining.
17:04:02dreamreal21 take 2
17:04:02nevetI see what you're doing there. With a knowing smile, I take 2. There are 5 matches remaining.
17:04:05dreamreal21 take 2
17:04:05nevetHah, I thought dreamreal would take 2. Therefore, I take 0. With the patience of stone, I take 2. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... actually, no I don't. I win!
17:04:23dreamrealyikes :D
17:05:27dreamrealgah, just the wrong number put in. A one-character fix.
17:06:47ParaYou could implement Uno as well.
17:07:55dreamrealyeah. I mean, nevet's not really meant to be a "game engine" so much as games give me an easy way to test features without a lot of consequence.
17:08:21dreamreal21 is the first game I do in ANY language: gives me input, output, loops, conditions, state management.
17:08:34dreamreal(the 21 matches, not blackjack.)
17:08:58dreamrealBut once 21 matches was done, hangman was really easy; the hard part was "how do I generate words" and that's not very hard to do at all!
