Anyone know how the contemporary competition is going? It will take the YAGP.org website forever to put anything up!

YAGP results are now available on the YAGP website (www.yagp.org). They are posted in the "guest book" section because of some temporary technical difficulties with the site.

Kiki, please be careful about going far down the lists and bringing up old threads, especially those which are time-sensitive. This thread had to do with events last May, and I nearly had heart failure to see that YAGP competition time was back already, until I looked at the dates on the posts.

Make sure your firewall isn't blocking the connection. Often, it's easiest to simply disable it completely during an update.

The terms scripts and scripting appear to be used interchangeably on the Game Development Stack Exchange, but other than reading questions about a scripting language choice, I don't understand the relationship between scripts and scripting, and the core language. What does a script typically do, when would it be used, and are scripts in some contexts (as defined by game programmers) different than a scripting language?
Scripts are written for a scripting language. People can use the words in slang sentences to get the muddling that you are referring to but ask anyone for the definitions of Script, Scripting and Scripting Language and you will get something like: Scripting is the act of writing Scripts using a Scripting Language.
When you embed a scripting language into a game engine, or core language as you are referring to, you are exposing not only the objects within the game engine but also allowing logic to be written for the game engine. One other thing of note is that this turns your game into kind of a virtual machine, as scripting languages seldom compile down to machine language and are instead put into a form of byte code and interpreted at run time by your game engine.
This has some huge benefits to the development team, a few of which you can find listed next:
I am sure the list can keep going on and on I am sure, especially when you get into specialized game types and how scripting can help define group formation rules for moving groups of units in an RTS or how you can create a UI's logic in a scripting language to provide an extensible UI to your end-users and the like.
Using scripting has many advantages over "core language". Some of these include:
A script is usually a piece of code that runs outside your core engine. It is usually contained within text files wherever you like to keep them. Then it is usually loaded by the engine, parsed, and executed at runtime.
What generally happens is that whatever language you use (Lua, Angelscript for example), this language usually has some facilities that enable the engine programmer to expose engine-functions or even entire classes to the instance of the "scripting engine" that is currently running.
For example (totally stupid example, but just to get the point across) your game code might have a public function that spawns zombies somewhere:
The scripting language that you use now enables you to expose this function to the scripting parser that is running. This effectively means that you can open a text file, write "SpawnZombie(200,300,1337)" and once your engine executes the code, a Zombie will spawn at that location.
The other answers already list a couple of good examples of how this is typicaly used, but they leave out one point which I find very important:
These kinds of scripts make it very easy to debug or test gameplay during runtime.
Let's say you want to figure out the perfect way to place a zombie in the map so it has the maximum scare effect on the player once they discover it. Without scripting support, you'd have to exit the application, change some magic numbers in the code, recompile and test it.
With scripting support (providing you already have some method of entering text during runtime, for example a debug console), you just type in "SpawnZombie(333,444,555)" and see how it looks.
In the same manner it could be possible for you to spawn weapons, vehicles, load different maps, change the values of some things in the game etc, instakill enemies because you don't want to waste time getting to the part that needs to be tested etc.
This will save you tons of times in more complex games.
1) Scripts are often much easier to modify than code.
2) Scripts are often field-modifiable. This permits modding the game.
Most scripting languages are a lot more expressive than the language in the core engine. Often the engine is written in a relatively low-level language (eg. C++) for performance reasons, but the gameplay code doesn't need to be as performant and so the priorities shift toward being able to express functionality easily.
For example, dynamic vs. static typing. Another example: garbage collection vs. manual memory management.
Scripting allow you to write logic at a higher level. In other word, you write less code with more functionality.
So an example, the following shows the difference between writing something in code and writing it in a script language.
Game Code
Script Code
See how much less coding the designer have to do if you use a scripting language?
The reason is becase in game code, you have to split an event into multiple frames, and write code from a multiple frames perspective. On the other hand, scripting allow you to think of multiple frames event as a just a single line of code, because all the extra codes are abstracted behind an script function.
You may asked, but can't that function just be written in game code too? Well, yes, but that means the designers will have to open the source code of the game engine and write all the codes in there, and you don't want your designers going through the source code of the game engine (they might accidentally change some other code and the whole thing crash).
Instead, you want your designer to do something like this instead: Right-click a car in the Map Editor, click Insert Script, type in the script codes. There's no messing with the critical game engine source codes.

WEIRTON - Shana Pepper, shown in the photo illustration at right, isn't really playing matchmaker or Cupid by organizing an online dating seminar for people 18 and older interested in a relationship.
Article Photos
Shana Pepper will lead the online dating seminar that will be held Saturday, Feb. 23, at Cove Presbyterian Church in Weirton.
-- Photo illustration by Michael D. McElwain
But the Weirton woman does stand ready to help people navigate down Love Lane, so to speak, mapping out an Internet-based journey minus the detours and bad directions, the headaches and heartaches.
It is, however, no coincidence that Pepper's seminar is purposely scheduled during this month defined by hearts and Valentine's Day.
"Absolutely - that's why I wanted to do it in February," she said of the online dating seminar that is rescheduled for Feb. 23 (an incorrect date is in the printed version of this story) at Cove Presbyterian Church located at 3404 Main St., Weirton, beginning at 1 p.m. It was to have been held Feb. 2 but was canceled because of inclement weather.
It's also early in the year for people who may have resolved for 2013 to be the year that they try to meet that someone special yet are "wavering to take that first step," she said.
"Let's give them a boost and make it happen, and if somebody is just thinking about it and disappointed with Valentine's Day, well then, maybe we can make a change. Successful or not, let's give it our best shot," says the graduate of Weir High School who has never married but has had her share of good and not-so-good online dating experiences.
"One in five relationships begins with online dating," said Pepper, whose seminar will offer tips for using online dating websites and creating a profile to help people put their best foot forward. It also will cover safety tips, do's and don'ts, and "how to really work well in the online environment to make the best of it."
The estimated 90-minute seminar has a class size limited to 40 people. Participants must be 18 and older, and the cost is $10. Participants can pre-register through e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Although pre-registering is encouraged in the event that inclement weather might require notification to cancel, Pepper said walk-ins will be welcomed. As for the $10 charge, that's "to pay for the heat and the staff that needs to be on hand at the church."
A longtime member of Cove Presbyterian Church and an elder there, Pepper said her background in office work and sales and marketing combined with her desire to help others and her own personal experiences with online dating are ideal ingredients for a successful seminar recipe.
If it is, the seminar could be a quarterly event or an annual one, she said. "If this is something that works out, wonderful. I will go to other churches, other community events to help folks out. I'd be more than willing to do that," she said.
"Online dating really is sales and marketing of one's self to potential dates or potential relationships so that was a perfect match," Pepper said of what she hopes will be a way to use her strengths to help people put thought, understanding and preparation behind their online searching - a thought-out, educated approach instead of a random one.
Pepper said her motivation to do the seminar stems basically from a heart to help others.
"I love to help people. That's a big motivator for me," Pepper said. "I love to help people no matter what it is I'm doing. In the past, I've done Habitat for Humanity with the church, served on boards with the church, and I've served on community events, so I thought this would be a perfect thing that I'm currently involved in to help share my experience with someone who might be new to it or might be uncertain, might not be as technologically savvy about what they're doing to really make that work, so that's how I decided to come up with the idea of the seminar," she explained.
"We are also looking within the church to find ways that we can really help the community - how can we best serve those folks who are out there. There are a lot of places that will obviously help with food, utility bill assistance and things of that sort for people who are desperately in need, but how can we serve both the folks in our church community and the greater community with something that they deal with every day," Pepper continued.
"Loneliness is certainly a big problem with the number of divorces and number of folks who have lost their loved ones. One of the numbers quoted already is that online dating is the No. 1 way that folks over 50 meet because their friends are all married or have children or have activities they're involved in, so once they are divorced or widowed, that changes their friendship with a lot of folks," Pepper said during a recent interview. "It leaves them with fewer friends that can help them connect with someone new, so online dating has become a big area for them, and some of them are very capable with the computer technology, and some are going to need a little bit of help with that so that's another reason."
The seminar is an outreach of sorts, Pepper agrees.
"I do consider this as somewhat of an outreach to help people, again, put their best foot forward and to hopefully help them find what they are looking for, to encourage them to look for someone special in their life, and this (seminar) is a trial run. This is just a test to see if this is something the community needs. I can't know that unless I ask the question," she said.
Pepper explained that she has put together a "simple presentation" and some handouts for participants.
"There are so many ways to date on- line, and we will talk about online dating, but there really are different types of services," she said.
"There are types that help you to simply date, and there are more relationship matching things like eharmony and match.com that really go through a questionnaire process to help match you to people that you would be most successful with in a relationship, and then there are full-service types of dating services where not only do you have the website, but you also have business cards you can hand out to somebody saying, 'Hey, I am really interested in you if you would like to check me out - here is my web profile,' so there are a lot of different ways and different relationship stages," she said.
People may have different reasons for using online dating websites, not all of them with a walk down the aisle in mind.
"Some people are new to the area and would like to just meet some folks and make some new friends, and some people are really looking to get married," she said.
"There are some dangers inherently with online dating as well," Pepper said. "You can't guarantee that somebody who said they have had a background check is who they say they are. You have to be careful. There are definitely safety tips involved with this as well."
Pepper said 80 percent of people surveyed have said they lied about some characteristic on their profile.
"It could have been something as simple as they're an inch taller and again I have to consider that part of it is also what the websites are providing. A lot of the websites give you specific characteristics that you can choose from, but they don't let you describe necessarily with your physical attributes other than hair color, eye color, and so not necessarily do they have something that really defines who you are," she said.
In her research, she said, she has seen characteristics that probably aren't true, including descriptions of "athletic and toned" yet a photo hinting of a potbelly.
"Knowing yourself and knowing what is a dealbreaker is a significant part of online dating," Pepper said, citing "nonsmoker" as one example of a dealbreaker.
"A lot of the matching services don't necessarily take that into consideration, so again you have to really be careful about who you are looking at in their profiles. Of course somebody can tell you something that is not true, but there are certain dealbreakers," she said.
That someone is not a fan of a certain football team, of a specific religious view or political conviction don't necessarily constitute dealbreakers, however, according to Pepper.
"It's not necessarily something that is going to drive the two of you apart," she said, acknowledging that dealbreakers can be a tough list to make.
"I definitely suggest everybody write a profile of what their perfect match would be so that they have an idea of what it is you are really looking for, but not to be tied down to being that specific because somebody might come along and be absolutely perfect and they are brunette instead of blond," she said.
"There are a lot of nice people out there, very nice, even if they are not your type. There's a lot of opportunity out there regardless of what kind of websites you use," Pepper said, pointing out that there are websites that zero in on specific interests or groups such as equestrian lovers, chess players and the over-50 crowd.
"There are a lot of specialty dating sites, but it limits you to a very small pool of people, but you're guaranteed at least having one thing in common," Pepper said.
"There is just so much to the online dating right now, I want to condense it so people get the best bargain and not waste their time," Pepper said. "I am trying to give them the best information based on the major players in the online dating world to give them a good shot at finding somebody."
Pepper hopes her own research and experience help eliminate the start-from-scratch beginning for newbies to the online dating website approach.
"I have taken a lot of time to go in and research blogs and advice columns and everything else about online dating and looking at numbers, statistics, who has more women, who has more men, those types of things, trying to condense it down to a small package for folks so they can say, 'OK, well maybe it makes sense for me to really focus on this one site because it fits me the best,'" she said.
Getting a date isn't always so easy - Internet or no Internet.
"We don't have the interaction even with people we love," Pepper said. "We don't have the same interaction anymore. We text people a lot. We don't send them actual cards. We don't send them gifts. We do so much online anymore, and it is very hard to find somebody that is compatible," she said.
Online dating can be a great way to connect with people, according to Pepper, and it can be a viable option.
"There are so many reasons why people don't have time to (find a) date, including the long hours that they work. I know I have worked in restrictive workplaces where you can't date anybody you work with. There are a lot of reasons people need to have another resource at their disposal, so that's what we're trying to give them."

In several early (pre-1600) astronomical texts I read about "cycles of anomaly" and "cycles of longitude", but it us unclear to me what these terms mean. They were clearly familiar to authors at the time and are undefined in any of the texts I've looked through.
How were these terms employed in pre-1600s solar system models? What modern astronomical terms or observable events do they correspond to?

After a multitude of rescheduling and a move to Carmi, the Lady Bulldogs finally played Zeigler-Royalton on Friday in a road game that was played at home. The move was fitting, with Carmi winning the BDC championship in front of the home fans with the 5-1 win.
Bailey Winters took the pitching duties for the team, going seven innings and allowing one run on six hits with two walks and six strikeouts.
Jerrica Money had a nice day for the team, hitting a home run in the win.
Kelsey Rogers also played well, driving in a pair of RBIs with Money adding one herself.
Alexa Combs led the team in runs with two and Emma Bachman led the way with three hits.
The girls will have a chance to wrap up the BDC undefeated on Tuesday with a home game against Johnston City. The team's final home game will be Wednesday against Mount Vernon, Ind.

The Last of Us Remastered appears on PlayStation Webstore, official announcement incoming? [Update]Written by: / / 7 Comments
Sony Computer Entertainment has confirmed that The Last of Us will be making its way to PlayStation 4 – in a statement to consumer site Mashable, a spokesperson wrote:
"SCEA can confirm The Last of Us Remastered is coming to PS4, and we'll be sharing more details with you shortly."
A product listing on Amazon.com reveals that The Last of Us on PS4 will run at 1080p with "higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, in addition to several other gameplay improvements." The following extras are also included:
– Includes all DLC packs: over $30 in value
– In-game cinematic commentary from the cast and creative director
Will you be looking to replay The Last of Us on PS4 later this year? Or maybe try it out for the first time?
[End of Update]
Rumours about a remastered PS4 version of The Last of Us have escalated over the past few weeks and now the game has all but been confirmed after a banner advertising "The Last of Us Remastered" (seen above) appeared on the US PlayStation Webstore.
Unfortunately clicking on the banner results in a "page not found" error but the advert itself tells us that the game will cost $59.99 and will also be available at retail (hence the Day 1 Digital logo). The fact that this banner is already live on the PlayStation Webstore also suggests that The Last of Us Remastered is not too far off and we should therefore expect an official announcement from Sony within the next few days.
Head over here to browse through El33tonline's previous coverage of The Last of Us which includes our review of this story-driven third-person shooter.

TEMPLE (November 19, 2012)—The City of Temple's Parks and Leisure Services Department is offering day camps for students during Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks and parents like Lora Farbo say they are taking advantage of these camps for their cost and convenience.
"It's frustrating to know with the economy the way it is having to find a babysitter," Farbo said.
Farbo said her fourth grader, Faith, rarely ever goes to a babysitter.
"Here you're in more of a group so you can do more activities than what two people can do," Faith said.
"If there's a day off in the middle of the week, with the program, they have the capabilities of taking care of them here at camp," Farbo said.
Robert "Peanut" Henderson, who started the day camps in Temple about 10 years ago, said the program has grown.
"Our economy is so bad right now, and so we try to make it to where it's basically affordable for all parents," Henderson said.
Farbo said the holiday day camps help her rest assured her child is safe and active while she's at work.
"I don't think that'd be good for me just sitting at home playing video games with my eyes on the TV," Faith said.
"I can't imagine what it would take for other moms and dads that have to look for a babysitter and not choose to go this way," Farbo said.

New Pew Poll Tool
The folks over at the Pew Forum have a new interactivegraph that allows you to look at support for the two presidential candidates by religious affiliation and degree of religious practice.I know, you're dying to know what the Catholic numbers are, right? Among all Catholics, Obama has a 15 point lead. Since he's essentially tied with Romney among White Catholics, I suspect Obama is running up very large margins among Latino Catholics, but the tool doesn't provide that breakdown. Similarly, you can look at differences between those who frequently attend services and those who come less often, but you can't look at differences in attendance by denomination.And, yes, this post is a bit prosaic, but it's really just an excuse to see if I can get the blog interface to work on my smartphone. The answer is yes, but don't expect a lot of longform.

For white mainline Protestants, the graph show that Mitt Romney held a lead throughout the year - until recently. I don't know exactly what that portends, but both parts of it interest me: that Romney was ahead in that category for most of the year; and that the gap has now closed in September such that it's now a dead heat.Also interesting how the mostly-unchurched and completely unaffiliated vote for Obama by tremendous margins - probably his biggest groups of supporters except for black Protestants. No doubt, there is a lot of overlap among the kinda- and completely-irreligious and young adults.
Despite the bishops' intervention in Presidential politics, my guess is 75% of religious women and 60% of clergy will vote for Obama. [Jim.. I say only half the deacons!]
Ed - it might be 75% of the deacons, too! (At least in Chicago)
Prediction: church going Catholics will choose Romney by at least 55%. Those regarded in this forum as more enlightened Catholics will go for Obama by margin of 60% or greater. What will matter most in terms of outcome will be which of these groups vote in greater numbers. That will likely differ from state to state.

I have created the ubuntu dvd but when i choose to boot from dvd drive on start up it automaticallt loads windows 7. Please can you help??
Are you sure you burned the DVD correctly? What's happened to me before is the burning software burned the *.iso directly to the disc, instead of copying the contents of the image to the disc. It's a frustratingly simple solution if you've already checked the BIOS boot properties.
You may have to change your BIOS settings to 'Boot' from the CD/DVD first.
Jago G.
CD wasnt burned right.
Do you have one of the following ---
If you have no USB flash drive, but you do have a smart phone, You could do the following without losing any data on your smart phone. Depending on the model, and if you have anything installed on the external card, youd have to move it back.
There is no need to format, chances are you have more than 700 Mbs free on Your SD card, all it will do is copy the data to it. You can use your phone as a usb drive.
Final step: Reboot your computer, and enter the "boot menu" It might be F1, or F8 or even ESC. It should be listed in the bottom of the screen at boot.
If its not listed, go into the bios (There should be a key marked) → Find your boot settings and set the FIRST as Boot from USB (Your phone will be listed, probly as "Android phone" or "Motorola" or something like that.
Make sure "USB storage is toggled.
Of course, if you dont have a smart phone, this entire thing is useless. If you have a USB drive, then just use the USB Installer, and select that.

From the insulated bottle holder (which keeps bottles at warm or cold for up to two hours) to the zip-top wet bag, I was pleasantly surprised by the functionality of my OiOi. The outside zipper pocket is great for holding your phone, keys and lipgloss, and the three elastic inner pockets and one inside zipper pocket are perfect for pacifiers and baby lotion. It also comes equipped with a changing pad and wipes case. It has water-resistant nylon lining for easy cleaning and an adjustable leather shoulder strap, as well as two short stroller straps.
I only have two things I would like to improve upon the bag. First, I wish it had another outside pocket for quick access to a bottle or sippy cup. And secondly, since I have two kids under the age of 2, it could stand to be a little larger so I could carry extra outfits for both, and two bottles instead of just one. Once our diaper needs are pared down to one kiddo though, I have a feeling this bag will be sized just right.
Overall this is certainly my favorite diaper bag I've ever owned. (And I think it's strangers' favorite bag I've ever owned too—I'm constantly getting compliments!) I love that I can—and absolutely will—use it as a purse long after I am done using it as a diaper bag. After all, dragging this bag all over town only enhances its rugged leather exterior, so it will just get better with age.

Our good friends at Fusible note, somewhat wryly, that while Nintendo's gotten around to filing trademark applications on the Wii U it's lacking ownership of the wiiu.com domain. The console by that name is due for sale sometime in 2012.
Materially, this is something that concerns beancounters, really. I think Nintendo is rich enough that it can peel off those dollar bills and slap 'em down for wiiu.com, one hundred, two hundred! But they should have seen those fighter planes. This isn't callofduty11.com or halo29.com, or any number of sequelized domain names your garden variety cybersquatter should register. This is something registered June 7, 2011, which was—ding, ding ding!—the day Nintendo revealed to the world that trademark. A trademark it, presumably, knew about a day or two before. Whoops.
[Correction] Fusible in fact says wiiu.com was registered in 2004, but is not believed to be owned by Nintendo. www.nintendowiiu.com is the domain that was registered June 7, 2011. In either case, neither domain is believed to be under the control of Nintendo.
So (shameless plug!) that's why you watch Kotaku's liveblog coverage of E3, folks! It can make you rich, if you register domain names as soon as the products are announced.
Fusible notes that the owner of wiiu.com is hidden behind Whois privacy and currently is a Shopping.com affiliate site that displays videogame and console ads.
wiiu.com! What you need, when you need it.

Today, I replied to a post. It was the first reply. The post wasn't very clear and I made a guess as to what the OP wanted. It appeared that he didn't understand array indexes. However, as the question "evolved" or was edited to become clearer, my answer slowly became irrelavent and to someone just browsing it may appear irrelavent. I'm guessing that's why someone downvoted it. Now, I don't care too much about voting or scoring, but I do care about answers becoming obsolete.
If questions can be modified and there is no active "conversation" of that modification it can be misleading.
How does StackOverflow prevent "evolving post syndrome." Maybe allow the answers to be tagged as no longer relevant?

Drone Kills Pakistani Militant Leader
A U.S. drone strike in a Pakistan border region killed the leader of a militant group accused of cooperating with Afghan Taliban fighters in attacks on U.S. troops in Afghanistan, officials said Thursday.
The Pakistani militant, Mullah Nazir, was killed with some "trusted deputies," a U.S. official said.
Mr. Nazir's organization, one of several Pakistani militant factions, controls areas of Pakistan's South Waziristan region that border Afghanistan. He used that position to team up with Afghan Taliban fighters in fighting coalition troops in Afghanistan, and to provide protection for al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan, U.S. commanders said.
"This is someone who has a great deal of blood on his hands," said Pentagon press secretary George Little, without confirming Mr. Nazir's death, "This would be a major development."
Mr. Nazir and his organization have been in the cross hairs of the Central Intelligence Agency's drone program. The death of the militant and some of his deputies "could push his network into disarray, degrading al Qaeda's access to South Waziristan as a result," said the U.S. official who confirmed his death.
Mr. Nazir was one of nine people killed in a drone strike on a house in a village in South Waziristan, the Associated Press reported, citing Pakistani security officials. Another drone strike hit a vehicle in Pakistan's North Waziristan region, killing four people, the AP said.
Pakistani officials couldn't be reached to comment.
Mr. Nazir refrained from attacking Pakistani troops under a truce that held for the past four years, said Imtiaz Gul, author of "Pakistan Before and After Osama."
Mr. Gul said the agreement made it easier for Pakistan's army to concentrate on targeting the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, known as the Pakistan Taliban, a militant group that regularly attacked government, military and civilian targets.
In 2009, the Pakistani army invaded South Waziristan and largely pushed out the Pakistani Taliban, though many of its fighters found shelter in North Waziristan and other Pakistani tribal regions.
Pakistan made the truce with Mr. Nazir in an attempt to show progress in bringing South Waziristan back under the writ of the state after years of lawlessness, Mr. Gul said.
In recent months, the military has allowed hundreds of refugees from the fighting in 2009 to return to South Waziristan and has been showcasing new schools, roads and other infrastructure.
But Mr. Nazir, who led the Ahmadzai Wazir tribe, also continued to allow foreign militants to take shelter in his territory, undercutting any chance for long-term stability in the region, Mr. Gul said.
Those militants, he said, likely included Arab members of al Qaeda believed to have taken part in attacks in Pakistan.
"It was a double game he was playing," Mr. Gul said. "I don't think the Pakistanis would be annoyed" by his killing.
Mr. Nazir's death "would be helpful not just to the United States, but also to our Pakistani partners and the Afghans," said Mr. Little, the Pentagon spokesman.
Pakistan's military has publicly condemned U.S. drone strikes. But Pakistan military leaders also have acknowledged cooperating on some attacks by giving intelligence on potential targets.

I wondered if anyone could recommend any good introductory books on primitive recursive functions. I'm currently working through a Number Theory and Mathematical Logic module, and I'm finding it helpful to look at different books to gain a broader understanding and intuition of topics.
Free e-books/notes would be particularly good to get hold of, or books which are available second-hand at an affordable price.
Thanks in advance!
