Give Terraria a try, It's really awesome and versatile!

Then let me say thanks! There was a programming competition in university where we made bots to play 2048 for (with a few months time), that played against each other in a live tournament (who got the most points mostly). That was the most fun competition I ever participated in!!

The bot was playing way better than me personally and regularly reached the 4096 tile. It was a lot of fun to just watch it play and really awesome to make it play better :)

Thanks for the information. It does seem like the anti-vax movement is a lot larger within the Waldorf-community than outside. I never really thought about that.

What do you mean by dangerous exactly? I was briefly involved with some people from the Steiner philosophy (the school) and while some people could definitely be labeled as a weird bunch with esoteric tendencies, none of them seemed dangerous at all.

Everything seemed very open and accepting to people different than themself. In a positive way, not in a "join my cult" way.

Yes, I think you should absolutely get one!

For once, it will always place your resume above the ones without a masters degree. And even if you look at the topics and think you won't like it or need it - you will always learn things that will likely be useful in the future! Be it to just get a different perspective on things or be able to suggest or bounce some ideas.

For me personally, the masters degree was the best thing I could have done. It helped me academically, made me a better programmer and helped several times when applying for jobs!

So yes, I highly recommend it!

This is pretty much how the interview with my current position went. It felt really good to just talk about software development, private projects and other topics instead of doing tests in one form or another.

No. We are not even allowed to bring a monitor home temporarily during this phase. Explicitly forbidden to take any kind of working equipment.

So I guess we're expected to work in the 15" laptop? No wonder productivity goes down.

Not really. Not everything is interesting all the time, but at least every couple of days there are submissions that perfectly fit my interests.

And I like the general high quality and good/positive community towards people that build things.

I can confirm. Same thing for, started 3 hours ago. It seems to work again for the moment though (after one hour, no change from my side).

The setting is also gone for me!

It's a bit of pain to implement in some cases, but worth it :)

Let me know, if you have questions or need hints where to find some relevant details in my code.

Nothing wrong with semi-colons. Everyone has a different preference anyway.

Thanks for saying all that. It was a huge amount of work and getting appreciation makes it all worth it!

No hard constraints as of now. But I don't think I want to include meta programming or a pre-processor (don't really like it to be honest). I do want to keep it compatible with C internally, on Assembly level. One thought is, to create a file with function headers/definitions that are then dynamically linked and can just be used.

I used some C std library functions that way for debugging (printf, ...). And as I follow the standard calling conventions, the compiler should automatically generate compatible code.

With this, it would also be possible, to write OpenGL code. That would be really awesome :)

As of usage of my language - Not sure yet. Up until now, the road was more of the goal then the finished language.

I didn't really read any books on that topic. But did lots of general research about compiler stages. I also posted a few links some comments up, that helped a lot.

For for it! Start small and increase. But seeing a program in your own language output something makes it all worth it :)

That is really motivating, thank you for saying that!
