00:00:14flyxokay seriously, it would be really good to see whether the event emitter shows the problem or not. that would tell me whether the problem is in the parser or the deserialization.
00:00:34FromGitter<zetashift> @zacharycarter not using zengine for the RTS?
00:01:03FromGitter<zacharycarter> I suppose I will
00:01:08FromGitter<zacharycarter> just made this real quick - https://imgur.com/a/6mKkI
00:01:13FromGitter<zacharycarter> I think it's way too big for a rts unit
00:01:15FromGitter<zacharycarter> I need to scale him down
00:01:33*flyx will go sleep now. awaiting your issue tomorrow!

00:06:29GitDisc<treeform> flyx, i got a small gist for you https://gist.github.com/treeform/c140984cf3e69e7c8ed8e76feba5c004
00:06:35GitDisc<treeform> run this plus the huge yaml file
00:06:42GitDisc<treeform> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ua-parser/uap-core/master/tests/test_device.yaml
00:06:57GitDisc<treeform> it reads the files twise
00:07:14GitDisc<treeform> eventually finds some thing that is not equal and asserts
00:07:54GitDisc<treeform> if you add an echo, the entry it crashes on is different.
00:08:48GitDisc<treeform> oh you gone to sleep will fill out abug

01:43:33FromGitter<raydf> it's 3d or 2d the rts?
01:43:37FromGitter<zacharycarter> 2d
01:43:49FromGitter<raydf> so no zoom :)?
01:43:54FromGitter<zacharycarter> no zoom :/
01:44:09FromGitter<raydf> ae you going to have big units?
01:44:31FromGitter<raydf> maybe you should do the tanks or similar units for scaling and at least 1 building
01:44:37FromGitter<zacharycarter> good idea
01:47:30FromGitter<raydf> will keep an eye on the repo if you're going to release it as open source. Are you going to use zengine or godot?
01:48:08FromGitter<zacharycarter> zengine I think
01:48:22FromGitter<raydf> nice
01:49:02FromGitter<zacharycarter> :) going to be a fun experiment

05:05:23FromGitter<Varriount> Bah. Why is Mercurial being re-written using Rust, when Nim provides a much nicer transition.
05:05:43FromGitter<Varriount> It's not fair. :/
05:15:28*Sembei joined #nim
05:15:33FromGitter<Varriount> Anyone know how Rust handles even handles things like providing or calling C interfaces?
05:17:40Tanger@Varriount That is bogus. Shall we pen them a sternly worded letter? :P
05:18:11FromGitter<Varriount> Tanger: I wish I could go back in time and be part of the leading discussions.
05:18:56FromGitter<Varriount> However now that they have a plan proposed, it's unlikely that anyone will be swayed by proponents from other languages.
05:20:03FromGitter<Varriount> It's just so... frustrating! I look at Nim and see a language that, while not having the airtight safety that Rust provides, has a readability that makes it well suited for Python developers.
05:20:27FromGitter<Varriount> Instead, Rust, essentially a C++ successor, is chosen!
05:20:45FromGitter<Varriount> (And I don't consider Rust very readable at all)
05:21:05FromGitter<Varriount> (Or rather, Rust readability is on par with C++)
05:31:46FromGitter<Varriount> Tanger: Hm "This is a proposal, not a plan" <- Perhaps there is hope for a counter-plan?

05:38:30TangerAlso, I agree. I wanted to pick up Rust before I knew Nim was thing and the syntax just wouldn't gel with me :S
05:38:48FromGitter<zacharycarter> @Varriount sweet!

11:55:59FromGitter<dandevelo> This page ( https://nim-lang.org/docs/nep1.html ) mentions: ---- Previously, the naming conventions for identifiers followed the Pascal tradition of prefixes which indicated the base type of the identifier - PFoo for pointer and reference types, TFoo for value types, EFoo for exceptions, etc. Though this has since changed, there are many places in the standard library which still use this convention. Such style
11:55:59FromGitter... remains in place purely for legacy reasons, and will be changed in the future. ----- Is there a reason behind this?
11:56:57Araqwhat reason?
11:57:12Araqyou just quoted the reason.
11:57:26FromGitter<dandevelo> Why the Pascal style TFoo for value types was dropped

15:12:40FromGitter<zetashift> Trying to solve day5 of adventofcode which is pretty easy but my loop isn't working as I get no output when running: https://play.nim-lang.org/?gist=aedcd0b070a3febe4e9889b223003f1c anymore check what I'm doing wrong?
15:12:58FromGitter<zetashift> also dom86: I like the gameplay too, would be great to have this on mobile tbqh
15:13:47Araqas long as it's a living being ... in some countries you can marry things, iirc
15:14:59FromGitter<RedBeard0531> @zetashift you need to mutate the input as you execute each "instruction"
15:15:10dom96zetashift: yeah, would be cool on mobile :)
15:15:49AraqSO is also stack overflow
15:16:34Araqand "super onions"
15:16:50FromGitter<zetashift> whatsup with all the .dll's tho can't you put it in a DLL folder or something and let the executable know it's there?
15:17:14Araqthat's not how windows works
15:17:31FromGitter<zetashift> yea I thought so but maybe some clever tricks were available ;P
15:17:37Araqyou could add ..\dlls to your PATH though
15:17:44Araqer, .\dlls
15:18:14FromGitter<zetashift> yea but kinda overkill for a simple game. I only have a dll PATH variable for SDL
15:18:29FromGitter<Varriount> Araq: But can you do that for dlls loaded with the dll pragma?
15:19:40dom96I guess I could add a shortcut
15:19:50dom96and put the binary in a folder
15:21:05FromGitter<Varriount> dom96: My only complaint is that you can't resize the screen. I can't read the small text in the schedule.
15:21:32dom96yeah, due to the time limit I decided to just constrain the screen to a certain size

18:33:27FromGitter<zacharycarter> can someone please point me to some horrible Rust code?
18:33:48FromGitter<zacharycarter> like Rust code that induces eye bleeding
18:34:44Araqwhy? Rust is more than its syntax
18:35:40FromGitter<zacharycarter> I'm just trying to prove a point that Rust isn't nearly as elegant as some folks claim
18:36:26Araqlet them write a HTML DOM tree structure
18:37:07FromGitter<Varriount> @zacharycarter Hm. Perhaps C interfaces? Those tend to be inelegant in any language though.
18:37:20FromGitter<Varriount> Well, except C.
18:37:57*SenasOzys joined #nim
18:38:07Araqthey are worse in C since usually the translation adds information
18:38:24Araqlike "Is this a pointer to a byte or a zero terminated string?"

19:33:15Demos[m]ah, um there are ways to get asan to give full callstacks

19:33:42Demos[m]at least with gcc
19:34:09nathanjwould a seq do bounds checking when compiled as release? That seems like the sort of thing that would be disabled
19:35:22mirannathanj: hmmm, will look into that. would changing to array help?
19:36:20Demos[m]nathanj: it will
19:37:34*jjido joined #nim
19:38:10Demos[m] uh actually it may turn em off
19:38:26miranthe best way to convert seq to array?
19:38:50Demos[m]they are sequential
19:39:28nathanjvar blah = @[1,2,3]; echo blah[4] # IndexError when not release, prints 0 in release
19:39:28FromGitter<ephja> https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/config/nim.cfg#L50
19:39:41nathanjyeah they do stop bounds checking
19:39:49Demos[m]yup

20:03:01dom96It appears we will have a stand at FOSDEM 2018!
20:03:02FromGitter<tim-st> should I pass every single file?
20:03:08Demos[m]you pass each indivdual file usually
20:03:20FromGitter<tim-st> in which order?
20:03:22Demos[m]often it takes some hand tuning to get stuff right

23:35:28FromGitter<zetashift> I like the idea of Cell; a learning graphics engine in NIm does sound tempting
23:36:06FromGitter<zacharycarter> I agree

23:39:13FromGitter<zacharycarter> @dom96 I think a port of cell would be a good way to show off Nim
