----------------------------------- TheXploder Wed Feb 04, 2004 10:26 pm Reverse Effect!?! ----------------------------------- Ok, here is the thing... I've decided to act like I don't understand anything in turing and make it look like I am advancing slowly so that you'll give me bits for my simple programs, which will take me about 1min to create... I see, that being a noob at programming is better, for the bit status. When I came here I think one of my first posts wes the Battleship game or the Isometric prog, that was a bad choice for me, you end up better if you act Noob-Like, and look like you are progressing, lol this is so weird... Do any of you get this weird effect? ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Feb 04, 2004 10:32 pm ----------------------------------- it was the isometric I believe, no we don't (at lease I and we64) don't think your noobish, we think that your much more advanced than us, with your advanced games that I can't even dream to make at my stage. Anyone who sees your programs won't think your noobish. ----------------------------------- Maverick Wed Feb 04, 2004 10:36 pm ----------------------------------- I guess ppl feel bad for newbie programmers so they give em bits. But i also see alot more bits giin to pppl who make good programs so i thinks its better to be good and make awesome progs. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Feb 04, 2004 11:45 pm ----------------------------------- dont spam with random 2 line programs (one being a comment :lol: ) for bits... else lots of people will be angry :evil: ----------------------------------- santabruzer Thu Feb 05, 2004 7:13 am ----------------------------------- .... so don't do this : % This program outputs a 5 put 5 ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Feb 05, 2004 7:46 am ----------------------------------- Holy shit! Well done, santabruzer! +allmybits :clap: EDIT: Don't worry, tony, dan, I only had 8 bits. ----------------------------------- McKenzie Thu Feb 05, 2004 11:28 am ----------------------------------- The problem is related to the relentless spamming of the Turing Help section as well. The 2 bits awarded should be for someone who posts something usefull not simply : "Wow that's awesome. Can you post the code?" Although off-topic posts are part of the fun, the recent exponential rise of fluff has started to anoy a number of people. Don't worry X, bits are far from everything, just because people aren't standing in line to give you bits or tell you you're a great programmer does not mean your contributions are not appreciated and respected. ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu Feb 05, 2004 12:10 pm ----------------------------------- this should be in the spam or GD? it is talking about turing... i think...or am i confused? hmm damm.. ----------------------------------- TheXploder Fri Feb 06, 2004 5:11 pm ----------------------------------- so you think I should act like a noob (at programming), cause I think I am better off acting like a noob (at programming)... ----------------------------------- recneps Fri Feb 06, 2004 5:17 pm ----------------------------------- helps if you HAVE bits to give to newbies.... ----------------------------------- Martin Fri Feb 06, 2004 11:42 pm ----------------------------------- Bugz has the most bits on our site, and he's definately one of the best coders on the forum. ----------------------------------- Paul Fri Feb 06, 2004 11:45 pm ----------------------------------- Don't get insecure about what other ppl think of you, I mean when you posted this topic, it pretty much said you not a noob programmer, even if you say you should "act" like one. I mean, come on, most of our class can't understand what your doing cause your so advanced, now if you can only turn that worrying of yours to string manipulation... ----------------------------------- Martin Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:57 am ----------------------------------- The bits thing does encourage spam, so we might end up getting rid of it one day. ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Feb 07, 2004 7:09 am ----------------------------------- YAY! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ----------------------------------- TheXploder Sat Feb 07, 2004 9:38 am ----------------------------------- Yes, I know that I'm good at programming... But I think this forum should have an evaluation of your skills not of your spamming abilities... ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Feb 07, 2004 12:41 pm ----------------------------------- jkjk ----------------------------------- TheXploder Sat Feb 07, 2004 12:50 pm ----------------------------------- yes I must addmit, it's the 1st year I'm using turing so maybe I don't know all the functions.. ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:01 pm ----------------------------------- Yes, I know that I'm good at programming... jkjk Ah, its all relative, and relative to my compsci class, he is. ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:43 pm ----------------------------------- lol, what school u guys from? ----------------------------------- naoki Sat Feb 07, 2004 4:02 pm ----------------------------------- But I think this forum should have an evaluation of your skills not of your spamming abilities... I love you Xploder. That was the smartest thing I've read coming from the hands of a new joiner. Your rant is refreshing compared to the endless topics and replies coming from "revolutionary web comic team" Also, above is how you quote somebody Dodge. ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Feb 07, 2004 4:05 pm ----------------------------------- lol, what school u guys from? Waterloo Collegiate Institute in Waterloo Ontario, and b4 you say we suck, all the bestgrade 10 programmers skipped grade 10 compsci. ----------------------------------- TheXploder Sat Feb 07, 2004 4:17 pm ----------------------------------- I wish I would of skipped to compsci in grade 9 or grade 6, wouldn't of mattered much.. ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Feb 07, 2004 5:11 pm ----------------------------------- i never took gr 10... nobody here from my school took gr10... although i do want to now that they teach vb ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Feb 07, 2004 9:20 pm ----------------------------------- haaw haw! suckers! I took compsci in gr 9 :) except what sucks is I now must wait till gr 11 to take it again :cry: ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Feb 08, 2004 10:15 am ----------------------------------- you could take grade 11 compsci in grade 10. my school has it set up so that the grade 12 is only given every 2 years cause no one takes it. so i hvae to take grade 11 in grade 11 1st semester, and grade 12 in grade 11 2nd semester. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Feb 08, 2004 11:04 am ----------------------------------- I dunno why but they wouldn't let us take gr 11 compsci in gr 10. though I didn't elect to take it anyways because the compsci teacher this year sucks, and the good one will be back next year. :) also I wanted to have a course with less homework in it in GR 11 instead of GR10.. ----------------------------------- .hack Sun Feb 08, 2004 1:01 pm ----------------------------------- we have grade 11 and 12 compsci, grade 11 being turing and grade 12 being java. We also haveother courses that show u how to use a wordprocesser, I took one of those courses becuase I knew I could blow thru it , being that i took it in grade 9, Its so boring, she asked us what the start button was, KJGVASJFAS I was going to snap at the stupidity of the course.
