Coding Club II

So in Coding Club, we actually made it all the way through the levelgen tutorial. I think the people who participated in that would like to go on to more advanced stuff, but it seems like a good idea to go through the basic levelgen tutorial again before we try to do anything more complicated.

Anybody who's interested in learning some easy coding stuff but missed out on the first classes, post here and we'll work out a time. Also feel free to post if you went through the first time and just want to do it again to make sure you understood everything. If nobody really cares, we don't need to worry about any of it!

Anybody's free to sign up if they're interested. It's okay if you don't know anything or if you have trouble once we get started. My one rule is that you actually have to be trying - and that means showing up!

Re: Coding Club II

Bot coding is a possibility down the road, if you guys can handle it. Like I said, we should probably review the basic Lua stuff by going through the levelgen tutorial one more time and pick up any stragglers if they're interested.

Re: Coding Club II

Its funny I said I needed help coding and poof the coding club is born. But I didn't need lua help, I need C++ help. Either way, I'm in. I might not be able to make the homework happen, because I have lotsa school homework in real life, but I will try fosho.

Re: Coding Club II

The trouble with learning C++ as your first language (although it's certainly possible!) is that you have to compile the code before you run it. Starting with something a little simpler like Lua teaches you a lot of the same ideas, but lets you try lots of things and get quick results.

Re: Coding Club II

Meh. Levelgens sound boring.
I really want to try BOT coding... it sounds really fun like talking bots (like ElizaBot) because i want to make a fact core bot :D but levelgens are cool too i guess.

Eliza is simply programmed to respond to key words and phrases. Editing the phrases isn't hard. That's how la made Gary.

I would love to learn how to program bots, but I want to make sure I know the basics before I start programming bots.

Re: Coding Club II

Bots are also in Lua, but they ramp up the level of complexity from levelgens significantly.

For a frame of reference, I can read through the bot code and understand what every part of it is supposed to do, but I still struggle with writing everything out from scratch and getting it to work the way it should.

We can head that direction as a group, but if you don't understand levelgen coding forward and backward, bots are going to be just about impossible for you.

Yes, but if you're disruptive, you get kicked out.

So we're going to try to add Santiago, Lone Wolf, Opti, and maybe(?) CleverBot?

In a little over an hour. We've met at 9:00 Eastern in the past. I was sort of waiting for people to post their availability, but since nobody did, I guess we're going with 9:00 on Fridays.

Re: Coding Club II

So the first one is Jan. 17th, 2012?

How many weeks sill this go on?

Also, i made a Google Calendar for the club, i need _k's email*, and i can allow him to manage events.

*Preferably via PM.

Maybe in the Coding Club, we have a registration and you can sign up for classes. ALSO, theres 4 a year, the Spring classes, the Summer classes, the Fall classes, and the Winter classes. What do you think?

If you needed help with C++, this is the site to go to: http://thenewboston.org/tutorials.php

It has 73 tutorials on C++, and a lot on other languages too. Unfortunately none on lua.
The bottom statement is false.
The top statement is true.
