Workshop Logs
Listed here are the lectures/workshops I gave to a number of players. It's remarkable how teaching something really improves your familiarity with a subject!
| Name | Contents |
|---|---|
| Lecture 1 | Basics of object types, attributes, commands and responses. |
| Lecture 2 | Building on the simple greeting object from the previous week, and branching into spoofing, and then into the command queue. Also covers some basic lookup and array work. |
| Lecture 3 | More enhancements on the poker table object from last week, and coverage of loops using iter. String manipulation and shuffling was also discussed. |
| Lecture 4 | Recap on lecture 3, and a bit more discussion on shuffling and dealing cards efficiently. |
| Lecture 5 | Decision making using multi-switching. Differences in parsing v(0) and %0. |
| Lecture 6 | Iter and iter2 functions. 2K Limits on single emits. Use of iter2 to avoid repetition of function calls. Example of iter() to produce a list of players in your location. |
| Lecture 7 | A spammy log that covered nothing in particular. Probably not worth the time. |
| Lecture 8 | Basic interaction using @drop/odrop/adrop and siblings, and $ and ! commands. Also covered register locks and @ulock. Some basic security discussions about storing user supplied data. |
| Lecture 9 | A basic allocation calculator. (Note actual numbers replaced with X's). Use of ifelse and lookin for decision making. Use of U() and Ur() to avoid code duplication. Use of s(ifelse(condition,{true},{false})) to prevent unnecesssary evaluations. |
| Lecture 10 | Quick recap of ! and $ commands. Basic efficiency examples. Some list searching techniques using lookin() and wlookin(). |
| Lecture 10 Errata | Note about match()/wlookin() and < and > signs. |
