Meta's Lost Notebook

Greetings from New Zealand!

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 04:30:27 GMT

Greetings! I'm posting this from our hotel in New Zealand! The internet is wonderful here! It's precisely 2.1 Mbps ADSL. You pay 30$ a day for a Download cap of 100 Mb, so I took advantage and did all my big downloads.

Enough of the hotel. We got to New Zealand riding on 2 Boeing 777s. The first one took us to Dubai from Tehran and the second one took us to Auckland. Dubai to Bangkok to Sydney to Auckland. It's currently 11:27 PM here and I am posting this before going to bed. Seeing as it was Easter Sunday today and pretty much every where was closed down, the big shopping spree has been delayed till tomorrow. I will keep posting about our week-long trip here.

Stay Tuned

The path ahead looks bright

Indeed it does. My leg has completely healed now( though I still have the temporary habit of keeping my leg absolutely still while sitting down) and I can run around, play football, etc. On other news, I will be heading to New Zealand for a period of 7 days on Thursday, to check it out and possibly dub it as my next location for life.

Also, I have released a game that I had not been taking much notice of. mCheckers is up for download and use by anyone who sees fit. That is all for now.

- Stay Tuned,
Meta.

Website is go

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:04:24 GMT

I recently finished tuning up my newly made site. It's written in php and still has a ways to go. The games page is still in the making. Anyways, feel free to suggest and criticize.

Hanging a python

No, no, the title is just an attempt at clever titling. This post has nothing to do with hanging pythons but it does have something to do with python and hangman!

I recently finished working on my first python project(very small, but it was fun all in all) and decided to release it as executable form. So there you have it ladies and gents. Look over to the right side and you'll see the list of files. Feel free to download and criticize. All suggestions are more than welcome! I'll get to expanding the database of its words soon.

[EDIT] PS.I'll fix the CSS soon.

Recap of (my)2007

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 21:16:58 GMT

Well, not a bad year. Not exactly good either. I'm not fairly happy with this year but all in all, it's all good.

List of year's events(that happened to me):

- Released a game.
- Broke a toe.
- Tore a muscle.
- Lost grandfather.
- Is still in Iran.
- Got acquainted with Chat and the people lurking inside it.
- Became anti-Anime form being a somewhat DBZ-noob.
- Met BYOND 4.0
- Got frostbite.
- Got a membership.

Let's just hope 2008 is as eventful.
(Oh and don't get stabbed by the pointy edges of N64 circles!)

Leaf Thief

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 06:19:06 GMT

Yay! I've actually finished a game in DM!

Well, every programmer needs something to work on. I've been working on this game for about 2 months now. It shouldn't have taken this long to release to the public but school didn't make anything easy. Well, here it is. It's up for download and quite playable, though there are still some bugs left to fix.

NOTE: The charger class is currently not ready and should not be selected for play

Get some friends to play, and you have yourself some fun!

Here's a small yet simple(=p) diagram of which of the four areas on the map belongs to which team:

BLUE GREEN

RED YELLOW

(You'll understand what this "map" means when you play the game)

Updates coming soon to fix those bugs! (Check forums for currently known bugs)

Frostbite! Ow!

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 06:28:31 GMT

This weather's given me frostbite on my cheeks. =/
It burns! IT BURNS!

Snow again!

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 11:45:37 GMT

It's a snowin' again! And looky looky! It even brought some icicles along with it! :)

arg var modifier

Sat, 01 Dec 2007 11:33:52 GMT

Been wondering about this for a while, I posted about it on the developer forums too but it got lost in the wave of other topics.

What does it do? Was it removed or is it something that's still unfinished?

var/arg/myvar

Can't decide on which algorithm to use.

#define FIND findtext( t , this )

// Speed or efficiency?

proc/txt2list( t ){
    . = list()
    for(var/x = 1 to length( t )){
        . += copytext(t , x , ++x)
        }
    }

proc/list2txt( list/l ){
    for(var/x = 1 to l.len){
        . += l[x]
        }
    }

proc/replace_1( t , this , that ){
    var{ list/l = txt2list( t ) }
    for(var/x=1 to l.len){
        if( l[x] == this )  l[x] = that 
        }
    . = list2txt( l )
    }

proc/replace_2( t , this , that ){
    var{ pos = findtext( t , this ) }
    if( !pos ) { return t }
    var{ first = copytext( t , 1 , pos ) ;\
		 last  = copytext( t , pos+length(this) )
        }
    . = .( first + that + last , this , that )
    }

proc/replace_3( t , this , that ){
    while( FIND ){
        var{ pos = FIND }
        t = copytext(t , 1 , pos)+that+copytext( t , pos + length(this) )
        }
    . = t
    }
