Assoonasitis Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Maybe if he wasn't using GOTO this thing would get done. There's a reason nobody uses GOTO ever and that reason is it's horrible. Now we coders do cool stuff like use [noparse]for([/noparse] and foreach and lambdas and languages that aren't machine code. BTW, I know all the modifiable stuff is in XML, but what language is the actual game written in? Please don't say Java because that will make me sad.

Assoonasitis Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 FYI: [noparse]for([/noparse] is called a for ever loop and they are amazing and situationally the most useful loops and are always the easiest to write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giovanni Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 BTW, I know all the modifiable stuff is in XML, but what language is the actual game written in? Please don't say Java because that will make me sad. Nope. No awful Java for Xenonauts, just pure, excellent C++. And a lot of modifiable stuff is scripted in Lua!

Assoonasitis Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Giovanni, I love you. How's the candidate coming along? Also: which compiler/ version are you using? I only have experience with VS, but 2012 is pretty darn cool. Also: also: huge ups for Lua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Dark Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 secret snip of doom! So what you are saying is that we need to keep the team from sleeping so they have more time to work and less time to wake up ect? Maybe make them cyborgs so it cuts down on time to read emails and search for cute kitty pictures. We need duct tape lots of it. And smarts phones tons of smart phones! We can make them have more screens attached to them, we can inject them with energy drinks, we can improve the humans! More screens, more energy that means more productivity right?

crusherven Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Whew. I'm taking Java right now. It's.... not my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assoonasitis Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 At least it's not VB or VB.NET. I once described VB as "real programming's older brother whose parents make him wear a helmet everywhere and C-language doesn't understand why but he loves VB anyway because they're brothers" and one of my profs who overheard me did a double-take and said, "no, yeah. That's the perfect way to describe it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 To derail the programming talk a little; I've started uploading V18 to Dropbox but it's got another 15 hours to go (after which Desura have to authorise it). So I'm going to go home and I'll post up the changelog and the beta-related stuff tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Remember that Desura still have to authorise it after the upload occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunatime Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 15hr? what the upload speed your uploading at?can you post the change log to see how much bugs have been fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windex Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Good news.So in 15 hours it should be uploaded then another 24 hours for Desura to authorize it. ...well soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assoonasitis Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 How long does Desura take? Is there any way we can make them do it faster? If there is, how many pigeons will it take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Shark Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I see there is much more excitement on the board now that the word "beta" is being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrim Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Quick question... Is it Alpha V18, or V18 is Beta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GizmoGomez Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's just v18. It is now in beta stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erutan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Is it actually beta, or a candidate for beta? Seems like a legitimate question, though of course it's all arbitrary in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I would say a candidate for Beta. Given Chris' previous comments on the importance of stability, I would guess if this version proves too unstable then it will have to go through another build version until it is stable enough to be called a beta.
