dont worry everyone i got my 2015 high school snakes and ladders assignment to compile i know you were all very concerned about it but its workign
i can't believe i submitted this as for an assignment my god
good news, it doesn't work under wine
if you really want to play this on your own machine here you go https://cloud.lynnesbian.space/s/dfdDPgcN9EbyeJK
why did i subtitle it "the newest snake game"? the world may never know
@lynnesbian lynne i love u
@00dani dani this is not something to be proud of,
@lynnesbian lynne you are adorable,
@lynnesbian i think my favorite part is the progress bars for scores
@lynnesbian I knew I recognized those sounds
@luna make sure you leave the bugs in
@lynnesbian Untitled Snake Game
nobody wants to play a game with old snakes.
@lynnesbian Time to file a bug report
@lynnesbian if I was better at wine I would totally try to prove you wrong
@lynnesbian yeah me neither
@lynnesbian i feel like im looking at someone's nightmare
@lynnesbian lynnes chicken girl phase
@lynnesbian OH GOLLY IPT PALS fuck yea
@lynnesbian my school offered it accelerated so I did it 2012-13 and then did SDD 2014-2015 which was a massive loophole because they’re nearly the same course on theory and me and my friends could complete the programming assignments with our eyes closed. Was fun aside from yknow the whole trans & depression thing that year
@lynnesbian somewhere deep in my backups I have the assignments I did in PHP/MySQL instead of MS Access out of spite
@lynnesbian this reminds me of shovelware games people could buy on generically branded CD-ROMs in the '90s and '00s 😂
@lynnesbian this is great and if you didn't get 100% I will be very mad on your behalf
@lynnesbian I high key love this.
@lynnesbian fuck I didn't think this would have audio I'm in a meeting
@shadow8t4 hopefully you noticed from the w7 "ding" noise and not the marbleblast gold music
@lynnesbian you fucking better believe it was the music and I embarrassed myself
@lynnesbian haah waaw i should dig up the Bejeweled clone i made for my final advanced higher computing coursework in school, it's similarly Extra
@lynnesbian my favourite part is at the beginning when it says "now loading" and definitely just sleeps for a couple seconds because what could it possibly be loading
@monorail i wanted it to look cool and advanced like it was doing heavy processing
@lynnesbian
That was amazing. Are you releasing it as open source? This needs a Linux port.
@loke i guess i may as well release the source
even if it is really badly written visual basic made before the teacher had told us what an array was
@lynnesbian What does that slider under the current player indicator do?
Also, how do you implement this without arrays? A huge set of if statements?
@loke the slider indicates who's turn it is, it moves to 2/4 if it's players 2's turn for example
and yes, lots of if statements
@lynnesbian I think the reason why I love this so much is because it represents the innocence of a newboe programmer. The first project before one has started to become so bogged down in software architecture decision and visual design.
It's the playfulness of it that really shows why programming is fun. I wish I had my first code, but I usually didn't even save my work. I just turned the computer off and started a new project when I turned the computer back on.
@lynnesbian this was one of the first things I saw upon joining Mastodon and i feel safe in saying it's a masterpiece
@Jessica the school made us
@lynnesbian since these things move in cycles this is actually what good application design will look like in ten years
@lynnesbian so wait when in the timeline was that other one program you showed off--
@zoe a year afterwards
@lynnesbian oh my LORD I accidentally clicked play on this and kept scrolling, and I cannot describe to you the thought process that I just had after hearing a windows "ding" in response to clicking something on my debian machine lmao
i got the "whoops" and "yippee" clips from an AVGN episode about bad bible games
