Did you honestly miss the plot?
We are trying to divert him to the Logo Mailing List, err I spoiled
it…
R.

I’m just saying that some languages are easier for some people. And more
fun. For teenagers like me, we generally like to see things happen when
we code stuff. And the stuff I’m doing now with UCB Logo does just that.
So does Java. 'Specially when you don’t have to make the game from
scratch.

make the game itself from scratch. That would have taken years. I just
rearanged it in my favorite way. My way! Now I am off to bigger and
better things. Like learning Logo. And people said Ruby was the best
learning language. Arrrggghhh! Im off to be making my pirate themed
games!

Bill K., you were right. Some people need something immediately
palpable. Joe, I think you’re off to a good start in programming. If
you keep your 'tude in check, you’ll do just fine.

That’s totally understandable.
When I started doing C, I was like, “when can I get something more
visual??”

Java is certainly one way to do that.
Or Flash/ActionScript (which is not too different from JavaScript)

Objective-C has an id type, which is anything, so you can do dynamic
typing easily. I think the name strongly typed fits better.

I think, then, what’s wrong with that passage is the implication that
this makes it different from Ruby.

It’s great that he finally found something that he likes. That doesn’t
change the fact he’s becoming increasingly trollish.

Yeah. Only Flash involves drawing loads of pictures. Not my kind of
deal. I’m liking UCB logo with the turtle. I’m having fun just making
new words that make 3d looking shapes. But I wanna find out how to
actually make stuff too. But I can always do that later. I’v got a good
70 years atleast.

Who you calling a troll? Yall were like " Do the Hello World for the
rest of your life. Then when you are reincarnated as the 356 king of
Pakistan, you can program it to say ‘You suck Hello World’." Well ya
know what? I found a much funner thing that is so much better than
Ruby.(in my opinion of course). You guys might like waiting 40 years to
make something, but I don’t.

Hyperbolic language is often considered a sign of trolling. I would
have
suggested you stick with simple programs for, you know, a few DAYS, but
actually stick to 'em until you understand what’s going on.

Many of us would still be waiting if we were gonna wait 40 years to make
something. I’m not even 40 yet. :slight_smile:

Good luck with your programming, but if you’re not doing Ruby, could you
maybe, you know, ask about it elsewhere? If you decide to do C, there’s
comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c.moderated, open for asking questions. I’m
sure
there’s Logo groups, and there’s TONS of Java groups.

See, one of the reasons people are thinking of you as a troll is that
you’re
posting tons of stuff in a Ruby group that isn’t about Ruby in any
way
.
Not very courteous.

Ya know what? It originally was about Ruby. But then I changed my mind,
and decided to try Java, which was ok. Then I tried UCB Logo and it
rocks. And wtf does hyperbolic mean? Because whatever it does, it
probably doesn’t have anything to do with weird monsters hiding under
bridges. If I was a troll, I would be green, or blue, or some other
weird color. And I assure you, I AM WHITE! Well, slightly tanned. And I
am not demanding you pay me to cross a bridge. Besides, the Religion
conversation had nothing to do with Ruby, that went on for over 100
posts.

There’s a parallel to martial training in here somewhere… Something
about taking 10 years to become a beginner at Aikido. The earlier
Karate Kid reference worked fairly well.

Joe, I’m glad you found something that’s much funner. I didn’t think
you would. It’s important that you like what you do.

When you have something published which we can play, drop by and say
hello.

And I think with this gem of wisdom and understanding
we should all wave joe a fond farewell and wish him
well on the Logo list…

bye joe.
you go girl…

Yeah, I’m gunna mess around with RPG maker for laughs. Its not the best
thing I’v ever used, but I need something to do until Yahoo works again.
I’ll be sure to inform you when I have created something even mildly
unique.

Joe,

It’s not Java that’s making you see things quicker and make things
quicker - its the fact that you are using someone else’s library who has
done the hard work already. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I was
under the impression many of us thought you wanted to learn to program,
and build your own from the ground up.

I’m glad you’re finding it to your liking!

I’m using it to practice. Renember all those times people told me to do
Hello World? I left that in the trash bin where it belongs, and went on
and did a little modifying. I figured out how to place monsters, how to
spawn items, how to make people say stuff, etc. And if you know a
library or something of another game I can modify for fun and practice,
please inform.

So maybe you should have gone to a list or forum related to these?

And wtf does hyperbolic mean?

There’s this thing called a “dictionary”. You might look up the word
“hyperbole”. Claiming that people told you to run hello world thousands
of times is “hyperbole”.

Not really. People told me to run basic programs like Hello World for a
few months. It takes about 5 seconds to type puts (“Hello World!”). Lets
do some math. I have about 4 hours a day. Lemme use my phone calculater
cus its summer, and i dont like math. 4 hours times 60 minutes equals
240 minutes. 240 minutes times 60 seconds equals 14400 seconds. 14400
seconds divided by 5 equals 2880 basic programs per day. Times 31 days
in a month equals 89280. Times, say, 3 months, because thats what I
think when some1 says a few, equals 267840 basic programs before I move
on to something slightly less simple. So my
1000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times statment was , as you
say, hyperbole. My thousands of statment was an understatment. It should
have been hundreds of thousands. You just got proved wrong sucker. Now
lets see if I only have 30 minutes a day. 32400 times. So, in no way,
was my thousands statment hyperbole. Save your hyperbole talk and go to
Texas.
