ZDoom

Consider: "240,247=61:60" This creates the following mapping: 240 -> 61 241 -> 60 242 -> 60 243 -> 60 244 -> 60 245 -> 60 246 -> 60 247 -> 59 FRemapTable::AddIndexRange is computing a step by dividing the size of each range, here -1 ÷ 7... which is wrong, because these ranges have 2 and 8 colors, ...

Cheers, and good luck with whatever you do next

Oh, yeah, it makes sense to leave Zandronum separate.

This is just my opinion, but I think it would be cool if zdoom.org became the hub for all things ZDoom. GZDoom, QZDoom, Zandronum all represented. In my dream scenario the zdoom.org main page would list releases from all three, the wiki would include details from all of them, and the forums would ...

I think he means this?
That reminds me that it's less error-prone to require the braces and drop the parentheses— wait, did I say this one already?

We all know that the core engine, i.e. p_map.cpp and p_mobj.cpp would have to be dumped before any sane testing setup could be created. Err. The whole point of tests is to know that the system behaves the same way after you make a massive change like that. If you're going to have them at all, you ...

How are we turning away beginners? DECORATE is easy to get into, learn, and use. Look at how powerful it has become and even half of the amazing things that have been done with it over the years. That isn't going anywhere. I was referring to Graf's comments about beginner code. But since you bring ...

Nobody is saying that static typing makes bad code magically good. What it does is making it easier to study and analyze. Both for tools and humans. You quickly listed the 5 most odd things you could spot in an Actor class, but remember, had that been dynamic code you'd not know if there is a ...

I have nothing against making things easier. But all the proposals I have seen here just do not convince me. They make it primarily easier to write bad code and that's simply not a good thing. Like dpJudas already said, my biggest issue with Javascript in particular is that the language basically ...

Hm. I'd appreciate if we could tone down the vaguely condescending attitude, especially towards beginners (and beginner-friendly languages). This is a video game, for crying out loud. It's a beginner magnet. Frankly, I'd rather see more people create interesting things with bad code than have a ...

Well first off, adding a vertex could fail if it's a Triangle::add_vertex or a Quad::add_vertex and you are trying to add excessive vertices :) Besides, vertex structure could be uninitialized if it depends on something else (for example on GL context being initialized). See, "add_vertex" sounded ...

Wait, so basically you are suggesting that casting null to a type should fail? Basically making null a separate type? Then it's actually pretty nice, although I haven't seen languages that implement this :P Whoops, I edited my post with some Swift syntax while you were replying. But yes, null is a ...

ZScript. Is. Not. DECORATE. Since as we know Graf has a very special meaning of deprecation (that is, DECORATE is going to stay forever), people who are unable to comprehend proper programming may as well just stay with DECORATE. No need to break and/or limit the language that was designed to be ...

To me, the key feature of static typing is that it is documentation . To me, and the IDE 'go to reference' system. The type being used is often more useful knowledge to me than the variable name, or at the very least a strong hint what I can expect it to contain. I'm yet to find a way in dynamic ...

I see the far bigger problem in forfeiting all compile time checks. Everything that needs to be deferred to runtime is a potential source of errors and we habe already seen how bad this can end with user variable ownership when calling a weapon action. I'd rather err in favor of robustness than a ...
