40d Talk:Macro design

Updates to my work in progress

Wow thats a lot of updates to a page I was building, that had no links to, with no discussion page entires.., and I had to go to bed.

I like most of what has been done except for the following

• Changing a "Step to Far" to Off-by-one Errors
  • This is the exact oppiste of the common off-by-one error of arrays and for loops, while it is an error of just 1, this is missleading I think. Also "off-by-one" is really just a CS term.
• The Change (labled " Off-by-one") to make "current" into "initial"
  • This is wrong, as it can occure anywhere in the script not on just the inital movement.
• In Fast Movement
  • The Concept of the cursor jumping was removed and repalced with " the cursor moves ten squares instead of one". The old Term of "Jumping" gets across the idea of skipping/is-faster than ten squares of movement
• What was wrong with "(nearly half)"
• "Troubleshooting"
  • this is a "design" page, not a how to code page. thge Orginal "Problems to avoid" term is more toward the concept of "read this section first and have it in your head while coding". Not to figure out what when wrong after the fact. Hopefully if they design it right the first time, it will work perfectly with no debugging.
• I think the Second Edge Collion paragraph read a lot better the way it was.
• "applies to a comand" isn't correct.
  • Original didn't have that issue

Over all I'm glad for the help (espescally in the conversion to a 3rd person), I just didn't expect it until the page was activly linked some where. I'll make the above changes if I don't see a justifaction not-to comments. Larek 22:37, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
