Thank you FA. I'd be interested in seeing how complex the code is (I half-learned a lot of computer languages, at the stage before I could do anything useful with them).

http://webdiplomacy.net/developers.php There's another link under the help file as well where you can get the actual source docs, etc.

"KA - you're the real loser dumbass then"

Well, I'm sorry that I misread something. I'm tired of having new people come through here and ask that same question. And knowing languages will get you nowhere in life, pick one and conform to it. My being a "hillbilly" does not prevent me from knowing a hell of a lot more than you, a great deal of it having much greater practical applications. So yes...my apologies.

Hurr durr, VB.net is clearly the superior language. (joke)

bump

double bump

Let's see... We are talking about programming a new game variant and someone asks what language the site uses... Seems pretty obvious what the user meant and that KA isn't as bright as he presents himself.

On top of it, he insults the one user on this website who has tended to not be on his back about everything... sheesh. I'm not asking him to learn another language, just respect the fact that some people enjoy and take pride in knowing more than one.

@dDST - next thing your going to tell me is xBase rules and SQL sucks. ;-)

Oliver will help with any problems you might encounter while creating a new variant. If you do not want to make any drastic changes in the rules, designing the map is the only difficulty one may encounter.

Oh, and I speak 1 and 3 partial languages (some Greek, Latin, and German plus my native tongue, American). And if you count English/British, I speak it fairly fluently for a Yank. I can at least follow everything they say on BBC America although the Top Gear guys have been known to turn a phrase that forced me to backup and take a second listen.

Computer Languages...

COBOL
RPG II/III
ForTran
C/C++/C# (standard and .Net variants)
BASIC and VB (from MS QuickBASIC and AppleBASIC to VB 5, 6, VBA, and VB.Net)
SQL
xBase (dBase3 & 4, FoxPlus, FoxPro, etc.)
Java certtified
JavaScript'
VBScript
Windows Scripting (MS/PC DOS Batch programming in the 80s and Windows Scripting after the introduction of Windows 95)
HTML/DHTML/XHTML
XML/XSLT
Lotus/Domino Script (may as well be VB with a specialized API attached to it)
some Perl and PHP

Numerous APIs - although not technically languiages, they can be as complex as any language out there.

My current work is in C#.Net and MS TransactSQL.

So you beat me with the computer languages Draugnar... I'll be the first to admit it. But at least I can play in the Portuguese and Spanish games, LOL.

You know what, i can speak binary code, so you all loose. i can also write and program in it.

0001101110001111101110001101111000011101110000001100110111111001000110100011100001010011100

your message is in malformed binary, i cant read it in full either

That is a stupid statement, Diplomat33. Which binary language are you talking. Fully assembled x86? 360/370? Binary isn't a language, it is a means of representing numbers and encoding schemes and the binary for 'A' in ASCII is different than the binary for 'A' in LMBCS. So, now that we have clarified you actually don't know what the fuck you are talking about, wnt to try bullshitting a 30 year IT veteran again?

Oh, and there are 10 types of people in the world.

And this is the number Bill and Ted are always thinking of: 01000101

Hahahaha, nice one Draugnar. That's my favorite number too!!!

Well, i never said i spoke and did anything well, being able to do something does not mean do something good

But you can't "program in binary" at all. You can only encode a machine language into it's binary form for a specific processor or assemble an Assembly program into binary encoding for a specific platform/OS. There is no binary "language", only a series of machine languages and OS runtime encodings that can be represented in binary or hexadecimal if you prefer (or octal if you are really in the mood to hurt your brain).

you can write machine code, but very slowly

Hey now, that's not true.

My father definitely coded a machine using only binary as an undergrad.

Oh, I understand what you're saying. Yes, a binary string can mean anything depending on what architecture you're using, but you *can* program in binary in the sense that you're skipping all the compiling steps.

But there is no binary language. There are many languages represented in binary for many different machines/processors. But the ZAP command (Xero and Add Packed) in every different assembler compiles to something diiferent for each processor and platform. So there is no such thing as "binary language". Instead it is "360/370 machine language" or "x86 machine language" and the binary to perform the same function in each is different.

That is what I was saying. You can code machine language for a specific machine *in* binary, but it isn't called "binary language".

And I once rewote Turbo Pascal's INT 13 keyboard handler by writning and hand assembling an x86 INT 13 handler of my own then embedding it at the beginning of the TP program as an inline binary encoded routine. But to read it, you'd have to know what platform it is for.

I knew there was a language I forgot,above: Pascal.

Oh, and I think Diplomat33 actually meant he could read ANSI binary-encoded characters, which is what most people call "binary code".

Agreed, abgemacht. But that wasn't what Diplomat33 meant. and we both know it.

@Draug

We agree. I was reading the thread from bottom-to-top and misunderstood you.

argh

so much cross-posting!

Does LaTex count as a language? Cause that's complicated as shit.

Don't know that one. Does it have looping and conditional constructs? If so, those are my two primary qualifications.

I count TI programable calculators as having a language.
