I'd love to, but I don't think I'm gonna have the time to host anything for a while
Fair enough, I'll post something in the discussion thread.

gg, Ecolusian. I was worried my bot wouldn't work properly XD although, it seems like the snowcap hakusans were a bit confused at times, wiggling about. Looked pretty funny

Let me tell you about the trainwreck that is my Computing project
So half my A2 grade is coursework, and we need to make a program for a client. Cool. Except in the first year we get taught the basics on python (nothing more complex than like how to define functions and how to use loops etc). This project needs to be "sufficiently complex". The least complex idea I came up with that would pass is a ticketing system for my school's IT department.
So I'm fairly confident in python (thank god I self-taught myself a decent amount, anyone going into A level computing blind is totally ****ed), but I'm making the interface in VB, since tkinter is ****ing terrible for making interfaces in python. This is where the trouble starts.
I need to pass ticket information between computers and between programs made in different languages. Since I'm more confident in python, I'm making as much of the backend as I can in python, so all the stuff interfacing with the database is in Python. However I don't know how to do networking at all and the last time I touched VB was like 5 or 6 years ago and I never did any proper coding, only very basic dicking around with the form builder.
So my sh** solution for communication is to put ALL the data I need in .txt files and just send them between the computers that need them (which I still haven't figured out how to do). This is fine for a ticket, which just needs 7 pieces of data separated by commas, and it can be all put in 1 file and sent across. Ticket editing is a bit more difficult but not particularly troublesome. But now I need to find a way of bringing up a list of all the tickets a user has in the database.
So this is where sh** really hits the fan. I'm gonna need to get VB to send python the username in a .txt file, python to get all of the tickets make by that person, put each ticket in a separate .txt file, send all the .txts back to VB with another file saying how many tickets there are, and for VB to put all those tickets in a nice table or something so that when a ticket is clicked a form pops up with all that ticket's information. If someone has 50 tickets in the database, I'm gonna have to send over 51 separate .txt files, and just pray that they all get to the target in time. And I have to get this sorted this weekend and do ALL the testing (click every possible button and input every possible type of data into every possible data entry field and document it all with screenshots) by tuesday.
Gonna be fun.
Literally NOBODY cares
I care! I hope all goes well, Badger.

I came in and never wanted it to look irl. I always liked having a bit of creative freedom for my bots. Plus, I never picked up stock until later because stock is very very difficult, due to the insane meta-game.

Thought series 9 was the best in years
Yes, it's the best in years, but it was still a crap series. And don't get me started on the whole pointless looping castle episode.

Is it just me who found the last series really sh**? I miss the good days of Dr. Who, before Matt Smith came and the storylines became sh**e to mediocre, with the occasional good episode sprinkled in.

Something, I don't know what, makes me think that Gauche and Boby should be paired with each other.

I'll give him another reminder. Apparently, he was working on it yesterday. No idea if he's done.

pumped to actually be able to drive a bot in a tournament, that's like half the fun for me
this is why i dont do tournaments
Can you elaborate on this
I don't do tournaments because for me a big part of a competitive event is the sportsmanship behind it and all the moments were they make it in time and its tense AF.what I mean is that the best moments in robotic combat (at least for me) is the moment when the underdog comes out and wins or someone just enters a lolbot and actually does good and everyone around you is like "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!?!" then you just end up laughing your ass off because their right how the hell did a red grinning armchair beat the series 6 champion. With ai tournaments they just rush each other at every opportunity with no variation. its that bad that I think its affected the meta as rather then make interesting and fun design, all that's gets made is bots with more razors slammed onto a tribars and razors under the bot that fly out of nowhere then ***** in a bukkake party. its really getting out of hand. so that's why I don't tournament, im the kinda guy who doesn't like following meta since I like variety and interesting concepts rather than bot shop clusterfocks.
Exactly how I feel about bot-building. Yes, I have entered a tournament, but I don't plan to win, I plan to have fun making the bot, and that's it. EDIT: also, I love this line. fly out of nowhere then ***** in a bukkake party.
