ephan, I'll give you a tip: Lua starts with 1, python with 0
(/me waits for the beating)

@Levak, lol

Jim, I did not understand your algorithm, I just copied so I don't know where it is wrong.

def increment(x):
    """Increments the string x"""
    length_of_string = len(x)
    if length_of_string == 0:
        return "a"
    bt = ord(x) #The problem is that ord doesn't work for strings, only characters
    if bt < 122:
        x = x[-1] + chr(bt+1)
    else:
        x = increment(x[-1] + "a")
    return x
   
def main():
    """Displays all possible words using alphabet a-z"""
    a = "a"
   
    for i in range(1000):
        a = increment(a)
        print a
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

So I tried:

def increment(x):
    """Increments the string x"""
    length_of_string = len(x)
    if length_of_string == 0:
        return "a"
    bt = x.encode("hex")
    if bt < 122:
        x = x + chr(bt+1)
    else:
        x = increment(x + "a")
    return x
   
def main():
    """Displays all possible words using alphabet a-z"""
    a = "a"
   
    for i in range(1000):
        a = increment(a)
        print a
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

But I get recursion errors.

def increment(x):
    """Increments the string x"""
    length_of_string = len(x)
    if length_of_string == 0:
        return "a"
    bt = ord(x)
    if bt < 122:
        x = x[1:-1] + chr(bt+1)
    else:
        x = increment(x[1:-1] + "a")
    return x
   
def main():
    """Displays all possible words using alphabet a-z"""
    a = "a"
   
    for i in range(1000):
        a = increment(a)
        print a
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Heh Jim, I tried to copy cat your version to Python, but failed

Inspired on the Rock, Papers, Scissors topic I decided to try and make a C version:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>

int main();

int main() {
  char options[][8] = {"rocks", "papers", "scissors"}; //Possible options
  srand( time(NULL) ); //For random integer
 
  /* Define variables needed */
  int user_choice_index;
  char user_choice[8];
  int cpu_choice_index;
  char cpu_choice[8];
  int i;
 
  while (1) {
    /* Get user choice and index */
    fgets(user_choice, sizeof user_choice, stdin);
    for (i=0; i<3; i++)
    {
      if ( user_choice == options[i] )
      {
        user_choice_index = i; //Index of user's choice
        break;
      }
    }
   
    /* Get computer choice */
    cpu_choice_index = ( rand() %3 ); //Random number [0,3]
    cpu_choice = options[cpu_choice_index];
   
    /* Check who wins */
    if ( strcmp(cpu_choice, user_choice) == 0 )
    {
      printf("Tie\n");
    }
    else if ( (cpu_choice_index + 1) % 3 == user_choice_index )
    {
      printf("You won");
    }
    else
    {
      printf("You lose");
    }
  }
 
  return 0;
}

However, when compiling I get:

rock_papers_scissors.c:33:16: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘char[8]’ from type ‘char *’

On the line:

cpu_choice = options[cpu_choice_index];
Each member of the array options is of type char[8], as you can see in the declaration:

char options[][8] = {"rocks", "papers", "scissors"}; //Possible options
So why does it think it is a char * instead of a char[8]? Thanks!

EDIT

I recorded I was copying addresses and used strcpy(); but the program isn't work that well:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>

int main();

int main() {
  char options[][8] = {"rocks", "paper", "scissors"}; //Possible options
  srand( time(NULL) ); //For random integer
 
  /* Define variables needed */
  int user_choice_index;
  char user_choice[8];
  int cpu_choice_index;
  char cpu_choice[8];
  int i;
 
  while (1) {
    /* Get user choice and index */
    fgets(user_choice, sizeof user_choice, stdin);
    for (i=0; i<3; i++)
    {
      if ( user_choice == options[i] )
      {
        user_choice_index = i; //Index of user's choice
        break;
      }
    }
   
    /* Get computer choice */
    cpu_choice_index = ( rand() %3 ); //Random number [0,3]
    strcpy(cpu_choice, options[cpu_choice_index]);
    printf("%s", cpu_choice);
   
    /* Check who wins */
    if ( strcmp(cpu_choice, user_choice) == 0 )
    {
      printf("Tie\n");
    }
    else if ( (cpu_choice_index + 1) % 3 == user_choice_index )
    {
      printf("You won\n");
    }
    else
    {
      printf("You lose\n");
    }
  }
 
  return 0;
}

When I inputed scissors, here's what happened:

scissors
scissors�@You won
rocksYou lose

Poor chemist, too bad the joke is English-only.

Seriously, though, I have no idea where else to put it. And I want to put it somewhere

My problem is using it, having validated pages is cool, but showing it off is not so cool in my opinion. The only important website using it was python.org, but they removed it recently.

Some progress today:

• Run File Option
• Code Improvement

The "Run File" option uses "wxwabbitemu" as default, but will soon be customizable, so that the user can also use "wabbitemu" for example

I'll also be adding custom fonts soon.

On Linux, can I save things to the Windows partition, then?

yes you can. if you want to share files, though, you can use the cloud, I think you have a server, don't you?

Hrm, random question (before I forget) -- if I dual boot both a Linux OS and a Windows OS on the same computer, is there a way to set it up in a way that they can both share each others' files (like my papers for school and stuff, and code I'm writing).

I can easily access my Windows files from Linux, not sure if otherwise, never had to.
