Strings In United Bot

[sPlOrYgOn]

no one is allowed to delete any posts/threads...
didn't you read the rules?
They are only allowed to modify posts to remove things that are in serious violation of the rules..

why would you want to delete it anyway ?

your strings class might be of interest for somebody one day...

Ok Thanks. So what can i do for United Bot? Give me something to do

OK heres what i am doing now:
I have found out that most of my code would work if cut and pasted in an STL String Class. But i am doing this in a better way, cutting and pasting the STL Class into my code, thats way shorter . NOW have i made it attractive?

[stefanhendriks]

you don't know what to do? I dare you to compile RB and fix bugs for me

Sure thing, as soon as my exams finish


No Really

copying and pasting classes ?! that doesnt sound object oriented at all

why not just inherit that class and extend it with your custom replace functions

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Could someone tell me why I have the feeling this discussion has come out of hand already ?

IMO C++, algorithms, classes, and extra features should be used because they are useful, not because they are cool.

Is a custom string class with such advanced features a great need of the United Bot ?
And why wanting us to use your class at all costs ?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to offend anyone. I just wonder the point of all this. Writing a good string class is cool. But isn't it far beyond the use the United Bot could make of one ?

Magnus, if you want to be of some help to the United Bot, I'd advise to familiarize yourself with 3D engines, client/server relationships, FPS game physics, entity systems, navigation algorithms... hacking the HL1 SDK and one of the open-source bots out there may be a good start for you. Once you know better these, you can hop in in the discussion about how we will implement this multi-game bot according to the goals we have settled with.

You are not offending anyone.
Thank you for advice
