I know the purpose of this thread is to help and encourage, but that should win a medal. For something.

That's being mean.

Gunin basically implemented a manual hardcoded key-value lookup table or an array using if/elses, which is a pretty logical way to handle things if you don't know that dicts exist.

yeah...

I'm sorry, GUNIN.

Is otay. :3

Are there any good 2d graphical libraries for C that don't use camelcase? I am beginning to have thought of moving on from NCurses to something more complex.

[Rose]

Allegro uses underscore_case, and is a pretty good library.

Say that I have a file with words in a list and my program must guess a word. How can I narrow the list down each time without deleting entries from the file? Or is the only way possible by creating a temporary file with the exact same contents and from there delete words with the help of different criteria?

Say I want to narrow it down from length and I want to decrease the amount of viable words from the search. I remove the shorter and longer words. But how do I do that?

[Rose]

How big is the list? Can't you copy the list of words to an array and use that?

[vagel7]

How big is the list? Can't you copy the list of words to an array and use that?

Pretty much the entire dictionary.

EDIT: Well I solved this little problem by creating a temporary file in which I only copied the words which had the exact same length. But is there a way to do this without making a temporary file?

[MagmaMcFry]

No seriously, copy the words to an array, it's much faster than reading them all from disk every cycle. No actually use two vectors. Store all your words (by reference) in the first vector. When you have a new criterion, just fill the second vector with the matching words from the first vector, clear the first, then swap them. Repeat per criterion. This should be the fastest method, after all it's only the entire dictionary.

[Skyrunner]

You can even reserve a certain size if you're using C++ to decrease vector allocation time. Precount the number of words per word size and retrieve values!

This is only sorta programming, but is there a way to have a fork of something on github on the same account as the master? We want to have two versions of the code, one controlled by a joystick and one by a controller, but it seems like the only option is to just have it in the same branch and have some weird toggling going on.

[Putnam]

Uh... branch it. You don't have to respect the master that much.

[frostshotgg]

With branches, when you push to them, won't they go back to the master? Eg, if joystick was master and then I made some changes to it then pushed to controller, wouldn't it replace the controller code with joystick code?

[Putnam]

Not unless you changed joystick code.
