Code:

Unknown identifier: priorities

I really must stop using string literals as abstract handles to things.

Today's first bug located...

Code:

mainView.switchTo("TitLepage");

I'm pretty sure I saw one of her DVDs for sale in a banner ad once.

I was once bored enough to type this and laugh at it:

Code:

double rainbow;

I was also laughing like a mad scientist while finishing up my Java Tetris clone, at both the things that actually worked and the things that went horribly wrong.

HAHA, damn; that cracked me up 

[Triplefox]

Code:

		// units to be rescued
		var resQueue = new Array<Dynamic>();

[Evan Balster]

Hah.  ResQueue.

LOG ("Cancel lock (" << x << ", " << y << ") for #"
   << client << endl << "    Result: ");if (world.checkLock(x, y) == client)
{
   LOG("OKAY");
   user.lock = false;
   cell.lock = 0;
   resp.sendTo(client) << NC_CELL << NC_CELL_CANCEL << x << y;
   world.toUsers(resp)
      << NC_CELL << NC_CELL_EVENT
      << NC_CELL_CANCEL << x << y;
}
else
{
   LOG("NO SUCH LOCK"); //The third time I saw this I laughed.

   //Anyway, humor the little fella
   resp.sendTo(client) << NC_CELL << NC_CELL_CANCEL << x << y;
}

My favorite line of code in the history of ever, just in case it hasn't been posted already:

Code:

stop(); //hammertime

i recently stumbled upon this comment in code i wrote about two months ago, the code itself isn't very amusing, but my nice little insult at the end cracked me up.

Code:

if(isLandscape){
	// w/h needs to be swapped here for landscape, took me about half a day to figure that out. communists.
	glTranslatef(-h/2,-w/2,0);
} else {
	glTranslatef(-w/2,-h/2,0);
}

I used to put little puns in my comments about how the World class was by far the best class in the the entire program. Recently I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why a sprite wasn't rendering when I was drawing it before the background. That caused the laugh of stupidity and dispair.

[Evan Balster]

Oh, laugh of stupidity and despair.

At times, you are my only true friend.

[BitPuffin]

Code:

 String tanga = "Worst joke ever"; 

 

[GeoffBorchers]

My favorite line of code in the history of ever, just in case it hasn't been posted already:

Code:

stop(); //hammertime

I find myself preferring:

Code:

stop(hammertime);

[Derakon]

Here's one I found in my code just a bit ago:

Code:

if not shouldContinue:
    continue

Of course, when I named the variable, I was thinking in terms of "should continue with the rest of the iteration", not in terms of Python keywords...

[Evan Balster]

Code:

if not shouldContinue:
    continue

You rebel, you.

It's late at night, I'm working on my GLSL

I read Uniform as Unicorn...

can't unsee it!

An old link, but worthy of this thread.

An old link, but worthy of this thread.

First time I've seen that.

This line should be another thread 'post if you just made your code impossible to debug':

#define TRUE FALSE //Happy debugging suckers

Of course, that kind of idea could be good for deliberate obfuscation, if you wanted to avoid decompiling for example.

[drChengele]

Code:

void add_influence(Influence influence) // influence influence influence.
// influence. 
{ ...
}

But this :

#define TRUE FALSE //Happy debugging suckers

This wins the evil olympics.

[Evan Balster]

Code:

Exception up = new Exception("Something is really wrong.");
throw up;  //ha ha

Hah!

[Player 3]

My favorite line of code in the history of ever, just in case it hasn't been posted already:

Code:

stop(); //hammertime

I find myself preferring:

Code:

stop(hammertime);

Time to put actual use to the hammertime!

Code:

stop();

this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, hammertime);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

function hammertime(e:ProgressEvent):void {
...
...

It actually stops for hammertime.
I'm dead inside.

I didn't laugh right now but I just remembered about the time I read the code I did 7/8 years before for my first C++ game that was also my first "big" game.

The gameplay mechanics were fully written in one unique function. (the GUI and graphics were well separated, only the gameplay was a unique block of ifs...)

The gameplay function started with a if that looked if there was at least one game entity of a specific type. If there was, it did one half of the function. If there wasn't, it did the other half. Both the if and else blocks were the same but few minor modifications.

I created objects using new. I deleted them using free. It's still apparently stable on Windows7.

There was 5 cpp files and 5 headers files. One for each "module". (really fast compilation!)

The scripting was done using a command-line application that asked you for each script line what instruction and parameter you wanted.

That was so wrong and naive, yet it's the most complete game I ever done outside my dayjob.
I was almost crying from laughing (is it english?) while reading this code. Incredible.
