Comment on MUSHCode: Functional Programming the Really Hard Way by Zen

Zen — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 03:58:06 +0000

Dave — Developing my own Star Wars game at the moment as well, have supported and developed several other SW games in key roles over the years. Anyway, I’ve got a fairly neat d6 system coming together (WEG) but I’ve got a concept for integrating d6 and d20 onto the same server (but not in the same IC space). Anyway, I was googling d20 Pennmush and found your site and was curious about what you had prepared — specifically in chargen and RPG elements. How did it work? Any thoughts about do/donts? There aren’t tons of great d20 implementations that I know of, so I’m trying to get educated on how people have approached it in the past.

Best regards,

Comment on Pattern: Stubbing Legacy Superclasses with Mockito Spies by Rahul

Good info. Thanks.

I think the method in the base class is getUserInfo() but in later examples, you refer to it as getUser().

Thanks for this article, really quite useful.

An important caveat I have just discovered to do with spying/mocking legacy code with an inheritance hierarchy, is that all classes in the hierarchy must be public.

Comment on It’s Time For You To Learn JavaScript by dave

Yes, I completely agree. If you are going to be writing JavaScript it has to be a first class citizen — just like any other part of your stack, you write tests for it, think about code architecture, and try to make it better.

The hardest thing is to write that first test written. Writing that first test requires:
* Mentally committing to JavaScript testing as something you are going to ‘do’
* Figuring out how to get the test code talking to your main code
* Figuring out how to run the tests, preferably in some kind of automated way

Once this is done, writing the actual tests is easy…

Ok, I’ll be honest. I just skimmed the post so I apologize if I am repeating something you said. Regardless, I would like to take the opportunity to rant, mostly due to the section headings : “Javascript is just like any other language” and “Javascript is easy to learn.”

I think that most of the crap javascript code (mine included) comes out of people assuming that it’s close enough to whatever language they already know to not have to invest a little 1:1 time with javascript. Hell, it even sounds familiar (JAVAscript). And so, they (we) jump in, throw up some code into the editor, tweak it until it works (== ?, maybe === will do it) and move on.

And, I’ve seen devs who usually labour of their “craft” do this too. It’s like lots of people have a clean code blind spot when they are working javascript

So yeah, let’s all actually learn some javascript

Thanks for posting, this is a real confidence boost for the self-taught! I deceive myself daily by thinking that form trumps function.
