having no programming experience at all I'm going to throw this out there, if a goal counts as something that is a process that continues until a certain value or point is reached, then stops unless things have changed, then you merely add conditions

if, then, else

if I have pizza I will eat, else I will attempt to gain money for hamburgers

might have to translate into programmese

Lurk Zend Technologies history. And the fact, that PHP by design indulges code with a lot of security flaws, leads to conjecture that PHP designers included a few Mossad advisers, interested in having a free supply of exploits. I.e. the purely Jewish ingenuity: providing a language that generates backdoors itself.

>>3579
Wait wait. Jews made PHP? Is that why it's so hated?

No. PHP is hated for being "a fractal of bad design", overshadowing even Perl. There are other languages, Jews made, like Algol and Eiffel, which ain't hated. Still some of Algol features, like call-by-name are inefficient and confusing, but nothing compared to PHP.

Well. Maybe that isn't sign of bad language, but just different approach to programming ... ?

What?

You can. I did it few times.

Yes. And mental retardation is just a "genetic diversity"

Broken scope design arises, when some crook, say Ierusalimsky, does his calculator.cpp undergrad assignment: at some point Ierusalimsky thinks it is a neat idea to have variables, so he implements them using naive hash-table approach, where "x = y" acts as a simple Hash<string,float>.set("x", y); everything works well, while there are just a few vars and a single calculator context, so Ierusalimsky gets high grades from his comp-sci teacher.

Alas Ierusalimsky decides to go big and sell his defective calculator.cpp "language", so he hastily ductapes together for-loops and conditionals, then even gluing subroutines on top and packaging final abomination under a neat title like "Hyper-Text Preprocessor: Enterprise Edition". But suddenly scoping cracks began to show and all the filth leaked out of his neat package! Because you know what? In practice a single calculator context with a few one-letter variables isn't enough, and to describe a general system we need millions of independent calculators, each with its own isolated set of variables, so that an assignment Alice does on her calculator won't affect Bob's calculator, behind his back. And what our "Ierusalimsky" did is called leaky abstraction, because assigning variable on one calculator breaks completely unrelated calculator. Psychiatrist's call it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophasia when different parts of brain clutter each other.

keep trying hard and looking though.

It allows you to know what is and is not computable, and if a problem is not computable it can't be solved computationally no matter how hard you try.

In a collision.class have a function that sees if the bullet falls into the square where the character's sprite falls on the map. Also instead of using a separate class this method could be added to the Players class or its parent

Sounds like homework to me.

By the way I am aware of the flawed programming. But since I am likely to let this sit around for the next few days/weeks, I have posted this anyways. :-)

>How do I go about plotting a function, rather than a set of data?
Take the function and calculate a set of data with it?

>>3576

Bingo.

To make this more general, define a subroutine in python that accepts a lambda expression as an argument, a list of independent variables and their upper and lower ranges.

Your subroutine will then calculate the n-tuples by evaluating the lambda expression on the variables for each point in their range with some chosen step value. Once you have those points, you are free to plot your curve, manifold, range, whathaveyou. That way you'll have a single function that you can pass in an expression and some ranges and it'll spit back a plot.

My guess is there is already a package that will do this for you--which I would use unless you have a burning curiosity about how graphics packages work, and trust me, thats an entire branch of computer science that can literally take up your life--teh google is your friend.

I think scipy has a function for that.
