If you want to call the same method repeatedly, but use different variables from other ones, and ones with different data types as well.

well, there's method overloading, and default parameters. but it has to actually make sense to call your method with different data types.

or you just write your method with broader data types, which is a good idea anyway. maybe you want something like generics. you can say public T DoSomething<T>(T somedata), where T can be any type, but whatever type it is, both the parameter and return value have to be that type. this is something you can only do with strong typing not weak typing. with weak typing you're left with public object DoSomething(object somedata) and then you can't know that the parameter matches the return value.

a lot of what you do when you program should be about helping you to reason about your code. for example, seal classes that don't get inherited, not because you need to force them to be uninheritable, but because when you read "sealed class" or "final class", you instantly know it has no inheritors and limits the scope of what can be going on in your program. make fields readonly or final if you can, for the same reason. not because you need to force it to be readonly, but because when you know it's readonly there's less to think about. same with keeping things as private and local as possible.

strong typing helps in this by allowing you to declare precisely what types it is that your code is valid to work with. if you constantly have to say "anything can be passed here, even though not really" that just makes it harder to reason about your code.

But I am talking about something even more weakly typed than that, that can be a clone of any other existing variable, without declaring it other than a declaration of the method or class that is being called itself.

if you're going for a CS degree you should have to take one or two low-level programming courses where you code in assembly and translate it into machine language, etc. you'll learn a lot about what all these programming constructs really are underneath.

otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean. maybe you are talking about default parameters? "clone of anything without declaring it other than declaring it" doesn't make any sense to me. I guess it could be inheritance, or prototyping in javascript?

If I were to make a language, one of the main things I would do is I something I call "phantom variables". They would be variables of no type, and no value that exist only within a method, and can dynamically change to any existing variable type and value that gets passed directly to the method, while reverting back to its blank state once the code is done reading it.

well like you said, in javascript there is almost no notion of "type". any variable can hold anything. VBScript is also like this. the "reason" they are like this is more or less just because they are simple scripting languages and aren't complex enough to have things like a static type system.

(thinking in terms of implementing a compiler yourself, you should be able to notice that it's easier to do "there are some variables with some values, but who knows if they match" rather than "I know this variable has type X, and I know this value has type Y, therefore we should generate an error here about this type mismatch".)

otherwise I'm not sure what you mean.

Makes me wish Java was a weakly-typed language like JavaScript, although there may be a reason why it is strongly typed.

I am going to dual-major in Computer Science, in addition to CITS (which the latter I am already taking), so I will get to learn the reason why languages must be strongly typed or weakly typed (with my guess being that scripting languages take up far less memory than anything else, due to the browser compiling everything, so it can keep all of those 0 values in binary).

you *want* strong typing (more correct to say "static typing") because then the compiler can tell you when something is wrong. what Java is really missing is type inference. Java is absurdly verbose, but it does make it a good language to learn on IMO.

Dungeon Siege is about as simple as it can possibly get while still being a good game. Whole game is based on the concept of "pick up the weapon of your choice and go use it". Starts off slow, though.

Crashlands would almost be great, since it's colorful, fun, and simple, with a little bit of RPG elements, but it does have a fair bit of text.

Might and Magic X is great, just straight up classic RPGing and is pretty simple. Does require reading (and maybe writing...) to know where to go to advance your skills.

(for some reason I thought you specifically said on Steam... I see you did list PC though, so still barely relevant.)

You don't need a ton of tech to have good games. In fact, the tech race is generally a race to the bottom where bloated graphical budgets take away from good gameplay.

well, you need enough processing power so that every time the dev tries to do something interesting and innovative it doesn't just end up bogging the whole system down. a lot of games from the last gen are designed from start to finish around performance bottlenecks, with every single area fine-tuned to death just so that it'll run. (ex: doom 3 VS doom 2016)

I feel like spellcheck should be a part of the O/S like copy and paste, and it should be on-demand, not automatic (maybe with a setting somewhere if you do want it auto).

I don't need to be told a million times over that certain non-standard words are incorrect. but if I type a long enough block of text and would like to check it for errors, then I should just hit ctrl-k or something (o/s standard) and have the text in the active control analyzed.

they're obsessed with novelty instead of good games. or put another way, they're obsessed with hardware innovation instead of software (game) innovation.

the problem is, hardware is peaking, more or less. now is the time to go full-on with software innovation, but you need a powerful enough system to do it with, and you need to promote games and game development. stop wasting time and money on hardware R&D and focus on software.

we should be drowning in a Nintendo sea of gaming innovation, which is what the SNES was like and why it was so good, but that sure isn't how things are now...

I voted PS, but really, most or all of the games that I assume are better than N64 games I haven't even played. N64 is definitely clunkier, though.

favorite N64 games include:
Blast Corps
Body Harvest
DK64
Doom 64
F-Zero
Goldeneye I guess
JFG
KI:G
OoT
Pilotwings 64
SM64 I guess
Mario Kart I guess
Star Fox I guess (not really)
Space Station Silicon Valley
Tetrisphere
Wave Race
Top Gear Rally
Turok games

great thing about N64 was that it was actually experimenting with what you could do in 3D. the games were simple and clunky but often pretty innovative. way more innovative than what motion controls gave us.

favorite PS games include:
Crash Bandicoot 1 and 2
FFT
maybe Harvest Moon
FF7 and 9 I guess

it seems that you both believe the result of one coin does impact on the probability of the other coins

past coin flips do not affect future coin flips, but partial information does impact what we can say we know about past coin flips. otherwise, we'd have to say that the chance is actually only 0% or 100%; it either happened or it didn't.

BG or GB - 50%
GG - 50%
50 + 50 = 100

this implies that chance of GG, BB, and BG/GB are equal, so chance of flipping two heads on two flips is apparently 33% now... and chance of BG distinct from GB is 16.5%? this isn't even close to correct.

the individuals are not what matters, what matters is the events. BG and GB are different because they are different outcomes of two events. this is extremely basic statistics and probability.

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

If order matters for BG and GB then it also matters for GG and GG.

even if you consider G1G2 to be different from G2G1 (as if that makes any sense), you would *still* have to cut the odds in half. GG, BG, GB, and BB each hold 25% of the odds, period. if you think GB and BG are the same, then it gets 50%. If you think G1G2 (whatever that means) is different from G2G1, then they each get 12.5% odds.

otherwise, the pictures you're painting don't even add up to 100% odds.
