Someone should host a Chatroom 24hrs for people to discuss their codes realtime to get their stuffs replied as fast as possible, something like an IRC channel :)
Perhaps i should code a Chat Prog to do just that :D

I often use my BYOND Tabletop Gaming to help people troubleshoot their code. Storyboxes in sheets are perfect for displaying code, and everyone with the sheet open will see updates as soon as they are made. They even support html so you can color code or otherwise draw attention to particular sections. :)

Using a fixed-width font in the client script, as well as msg as message can solve any multi-line problems. Also, using the ProcessHTML library, you can set your chat code up for more functionality when sharing code. I still would like to see a java compiling applet somewhere, that you could tie your BYOND program into in some way.

The problem with that is that program code isn't suited to the chat medium. Problems are difficult to explain in real time, and it takes time to analyze others' code to see where things went wrong. And since most code, particularly in BYOND, takes multiple lines to present, chat is wholly inadequate to the task. I agree in general, but if someone wanted to implement something like this, it might be fun to have them use browser windows with textarea fields in them, that could edited, and sent to each other. You could even have a little "save" button that saved it to a text file. Just thinking in terms of interesting programming problems. :) | |
