I fixed the pie charts so the colors look better, thanks for the suggestion!Much better!

This was in the changelog for 1.21.1 (Nov 5):Hope so - because nether portals acted VERY strange when I played with them, resulting in 5+ portals appearing on my map after going back and forth a couple of times O_o.* Attempted to fix the portal dupe bug where you could exit through a different (new) one than the one you entered through.
So it should be mostly fixed, but I think he's still working on it.-Deozaan (November 10, 2010, 09:18 PM)
* zombie pigs eventually forgivesYay!
* zombie pigs and ghasts no longer get hurt by fire or lavaHm, perhaps OK for ghasts, but zombiepigs really ought to... baconize... from fire/lava.
I didn't want to mention the performance thing as I have no personal experience with it, but I've heard a few times that RoR is really good for prototyping, but the performance issues make it unsuitable for large deployments.Mention that to a Ruby aficionado and you'll be told to throw more hardware at it.-Renegade (November 09, 2010, 06:53 PM)
I get the impression that the RoR people tend to be somewhat fanboys. Could be wrong there.A lot of ruby developers are on macs - 'nuff said.-Renegade (November 08, 2010, 07:19 PM)
As long as there is a reasonable export path.You can export from TheBAT, and to a standard format... but it requires a manual step for each and every (sub)folder, which is darn tedious.-Jibz (November 08, 2010, 09:18 AM)
).I have *looked* at this avatar (top-center) of a long-time member (who I will let remain anonymous) of DC for a long time. What I thought I saw over the years was...Why are you keeping Jibz anonymous?-CodeTRUCKER (November 06, 2010, 06:25 PM)
Why do you think Vanilla would be better than SMF or phpBB?I was considering that your users are probably going to be a non-technical bunch - so a clean and uncluttered interface (which Vanilla has) would probably be a benefit. OTOH, as I also mentioned earlier, it is pretty Vanilla OOTB, so you'd need a bunch of plugins to add some of your wanted functionality.-CodeTRUCKER (November 06, 2010, 04:52 PM)
SciTE is quite the same as Notepad++, right?No.-Tuxman (November 06, 2010, 04:31 PM)
Where's the skinned UI and fancy animations, Miles?I thought you were gonna' make me a kit so all I need to do is one function call?-f0dder (November 04, 2010, 03:16 AM)-MilesAhead (November 04, 2010, 12:01 PM)
- and do you reckon we could get away with snatching up the "steve.jobs" domain?That sentence is 99% correct.Mono is a decent project, but it doesn't have WPF support - that's a big showstopper IMHO.
However, Mono comes to the rescue. My windows 98 box (Windows 98SE, 256MB ram) is running several programs that equire .NET 3.0+.-kamahl (November 02, 2010, 09:14 PM)
I do have my own list of issues with .NET, but they are more about the C# language specifically:The first two items on your list are .NET framework, not C#, issues
- System.Windows.Forms: Why came up with the idea that data (Listboxes specifically [They're wonderful things, all things considered]) should be kept on the control, and not in a database somewhere. And not only that, said data is in a read-only collection.
- Most Collections have no .sort() method.

- exactly how to do things right depend on whole bunch of things, though. But in general, you'll want to bind your controls to objects (as opposed to string/int/whatever representations of individual properties) and use proper sorting: check out IComparable<T> and IComparer<T> interfaces. There's several ways to handle sorting, and there's more to it than just the sorting itself... for instance, it's often better practice to not sort your object data directly, but bind the GUI element to a filter/sort adapter that constructs the binding collection from it's source collection.
