Oolite Bulletins

Also 35, though was spoilt with a brother who owned a new-fangled 5.25 floppy drive!

Hah! In my day, we used phonograph cylinders, and counted ourselves lucky we didn’t have to haul stone tablets uphill, both ways, in the snow!

And you tell that to t’ kids today, and they won’t belive you!

Actually, I’m 27.

Have you ported Oolite to run on stone circles yet?

No, Oolite is fully Hex-compatable ever since the 'Anthill Inside' functionality was added.....

As long as there are enough bugs, that is...

Oh By the way Next week I will...

Code: Select all

{"Arnouds_life" = 
 {
  conditions = ("status_string equal STATUS_LAUNCHED_FROM_UTERUS");
  do = ("set: mission_timer_myage 0", "set: local_timer_days 0");
 },
 {
  conditions = ("status_string equal LIVING_24HOURS");
  do = ("increment: local_timer_days");
 },
 {
  conditions = ("local_timer equal 365");
  do = ("increment: mission_timer_myage", performBirthday, "set: local_timer 0");
 },
}

So I will be incremented to mission_myage == 30. Officially an old guy.

edit: found a bug in myagecode. forgot to reset day-count.

You found only one? That invariably means you missed all the others!

And who has to correct them? ... Me again! :sigh:

So: (1) In the third condition it has to be local_timer_days as it was in the second condition. Same applies to the final set: local_timer_days 0

(2) performBirthday is an AI-method and can't be used in a script.plist.

(3) local_timer_days equal 365 isn't exact. What about leap years?
[/pedant-teacher-mode]

Officially an old guy.

I can't agree with that. Where I am living people are officially counted as youths until they are 35. Up to that point they are supposed to shut up when the elders are debating the serious issues.

I myself made it happily to the adults a couple of years ago (39 now).

And in my days it wasn't custom to congratulate somebody before his birthday. So that will have to wait for two more days.

Oh, definitely. Last night I spent hours trying to track down a crash in the new sky-drawing code which would manifest as soon as I wasn’t looking for it, then go away when I tried to crash it. Bugs shouldn’t have that much sense…

@McL: lol poor guy.
1- good spotting there!
2- oh well... are you sure?
3-was intentional, i didn't want to trpple the amount of code to subtract one day every four years, let alone to make it accurate to more than two decimals after floatingpoint (or however it is called in english).

Seems I'm getting in a habit of ripping your code apart wherever I see it. Never mind!
