The Sanctuary

Well, it's done now. First, food. Then, update all the example code blocks at http://BoltBait.com .

EDIT: And... it's done! The syntax highlighter is only 32 lines of code, super fast, and (mostly*) accurate. See it in action here: http://boltbait.com/pdn/codelab/help/uielements.asp

One of the best features is that you can copy-and-paste from the screen right into CodeLab... something you can't do here on the forums (for some strange reason).

I tested it on IE, Firefox, and Chrome.

*Mostly: well, strings seem to give it fits. But, no one uses those, right?

Actually, there's a bug in there and I'll fix it eventually.

EDIT: Bug fixed. The only thing that gives it fits now are escaped quotes within strings. Just note, you must use < and > instead of < and > in the CodeLab scripts pasted into your HTML.

BTW, that is probably the ugliest 32 lines of Javascript I've ever written.

I never thought I'd fit into these form-fitting blue trousers. They actually look good on me, too.

[Zwicky]

Attack of the skinny jeans?

So, I ordered a new power PC off of Newegg sporting a six core AMD Phenom II processor black edition base clocked at 32.GHz and I am happy that the monitor came a day early. That is right, Paint.NET forums: You do look sexy on twenty-four inches of awesome.

I rewrote my "How to Install Paint.NET Plugins" page.

How to Install Paint.NET Plugins (Updated)

Want.

[Mike Ryan]

I want, too. Unfortunately, all of the rest of the parts will be here today with the exception of the motherboard and the second graphics card. Those come tomorrow, so I'll have a lot of useless pieces until then /

32 GHz lol

String bug fixed. The syntax highlighter handles strings, escaped quotes within strings and @"strings" properly. Still only about 35 lines. I'm done tinkering with it now. I don't think I could make the code any uglier. The only thing that doesn't work now is "/* multi-line comments */"... but, who uses those?!

I like the way it works now. So, I've moved all my tutorials off of this site and onto BoltBait.com

I am assuming you are only referring to the CodeLab tutorials, correct? I must say the site is...nice.

[Mike Ryan]

So, my build went flawlessly today. On my laptop, a Radial Blur at 360 degrees on the highest quality setting took about four to five minutes. On this new desktop, that has been reduced to just twenty seconds! Additionally, Speccy is reading the CPU temp at 19 degrees celsius. My happiness is around seven hundred and ninety three.

[Kemaru]

I once tried Radial Blur on highest quality on a 800*600 image. My laptop froze

Happiness: Bought Final Fantasy IX on PSN for 9,90... (tbc in rants)

[BoltBait]

Yes, I left my one other tutorial here on this site.

I must say the site is...nice.

Thanks, I blame Crazy Man Dan for that!

I've just realised that I forgot to mention that we have cats now. We got them about four weeks ago, and they've settled in nicely. They're rescue cats, so they've been a bit nervous, but considering that, they really are doing tremendously well.

[Frontcannon]

That's nice to hear, you don't post that often in the Sanctuary.

[Rubrica]

I just don't post that often in general. Unless you mean to suggest I post more often in the Rants thread?

[Sarkut]

I rather like the concept of rescue cats.

Daring creatures who dash into burning buildings where firefighters fear to venture.

Sodden felines dragging unconcious swimmers from the raging surf to safety on the beach.

I shall begin training a brace of them immediately!

===================================

Edit:

(I've started training them, and you're right, they do seem a bit nervous. ??)

i finnaly have a mouse! been sick of using the touchpad when im sat in an awkward position for a while! and now my mouse solves this problem!

[cazaron]

i love how you drop in the hint of a mouse after the discussion was on cats not a post ago.

very smooth.

[warfighter67]

Happiness: Deleted those 30k useless fonts and am now browsing them with a neat app called AMP Font Viewer, and getting only the ones I like.

[cazaron]

am enjoying my new fender (from a week ago, birthday)

it's amazing.

[Crimson]

Currently sending this from my newly begotten Samsung Captivate. Android is so complex and expansive and confusing...I love it.

Happiness: I finally found a game language that's simple enough for my tiny little useless brain to comprehend. Seriously, this is the brain that doesn't even get Python. Yeah that bad.

[pyrochild]

I do not like Python.

EDIT: Before anyone asks why, I don't really have a reason. I've played with it a few times and wrote a few forum-related scripts, and it's just not something I enjoyed working with. That's reason enough, yes?

As long as that game language doesn't end up being GML (which is available in Game Maker), should be alright.
