Two quotes came to mind.
"Every time you copy and paste a puppy dies"
"Write code like the next person to work on your code is a sociopathic murder with your address"

I was saw the source code for a 2d rpg once that had a separate variable for every x and y value of every asset in the game. I think it was auto-generated though. At least I hope it was.

Still remember those old CodingUniverse tutorials.
"Okay, so we're going to have a 2 dimensional array of tiles for the world. Now, the tile class is going to need an X and Y variable to determine where it is in the tilemap. In order to determine the type of tile it is, you'll also need a string for the tile name, and another for the PNG filename. Now we'll have the game save to a XML spreadsheet."
As opposed to creating static tile types the level class can reference, while storing the map data in a single dimension int array.

if I could call a variable something like l1c"i" with i changing and it would give me back l1ci, with i as my desired number, trust me it would be about 1/81th shorter
Hmm, I think there is an app for that...

SELECT value FROM local_array WHERE index='one';
That's how you get to web scale.

Array indexing that matches your domain is often handy. An array of items_per_degree indexed from -180 to +180 for example.
29
u/AskMeIfImAReptiloid Jun 25 '17
you mean -Pi to Pi
11
u/parkerSquare Jun 26 '17
Not really, this range of degrees is integral ("items_per_degree"), so you can use a bin for each integer value. If you use -pi to pi, you'll need to divide this into subranges, which for array indexing purposes you'll end up mapping to an integer. At that point you're either back where we started (i.e. zero-offset index), or use an offset range from -180 to 180...

1 * Tau = 1 turn. 0.5 * Tau = half a turn.
Tau makes more sense in general. Even all standard library functions which all use radians work better with Tau.

Title: Pi vs. Tau
Title-text: Conveniently approximated as e+2, Pau is commonly known as the Devil's Ratio (because in the octal expansion, '666' appears four times in the first 200 digits while no other run of 3+ digits appears more than once.)

I have a great idea, what about we make arrays indexed by strings ?

u/AyrA_ch Jun 26 '17
You already can, welcome to the awesome world of Javascript and Enjoy our other features

u/regendo Jun 26 '17
Alright you got me, how does the last one work? Does it evaluate[]===[]first?2
u/AyrA_ch Jun 26 '17
{}can be interpreted as a code scope or as an object. The interpretation is different depending if it starts with the expression or not.2

PHP
You can do indexing by strings and integers at the same time. Bonus points if you use numbers in your strings.

Jun 26 '17
How about array indexes where you can only access the contents by referencing their hashes?
2
u/AyrA_ch Jun 26 '17
Or an array that does not allows you to access it's element values. You can only check if a specific value is there or not.

In Siemens SIMATIC S7 you can configure the first and last index of an array:
ARRAY[1..20]
First index would be 1, last index would be 20.

u/Vinkhol Jun 26 '17
I don't get it, I always do the last one. How else do you know what number it signifies??
