post what annoys you while you're programming, be it algorithms, bugs, crap you have to do all the time, crap you always forget how to do, etc.

right now i'm raging over coding an animation frame stepping script that has the capability to animate slower than 1 animation frame per game loop and able to skip frames if the speed is high enough

it also has to be fps-independent so a speed of x at y fps is still x at z fps

oh and it's integer-based only

fun ****

EDIT: i'm not even kidding why am i being confused so much over this:
CODE
object.animate = function (input_obj) -- display next frame (CHECK) yeah this needs a LOT of testing and editing
local anim = input_obj.animation
if not(anim.sequence[anim.current].paused) and anim.sequence[anim.current].speed > 0 then
 if (anim.framestep % fps_base) == 0 then -- argh this is harder than it looks on paper what the ****
  anim.sequence[anim.current].currentframe = anim.sequence[anim.current].currentframe + 1
  mmf.Object.SetAnimationFrame(input_obj, anim.sequence[anim.current].currentframe)
 end
 anim.framestep = anim.framestep + anim.sequence[anim.current].speed
end
end

Have all these great ideas but don't know how to program worth ****!

It's always the positioning and the x,y coordinates that tick me off, every stinking time!

@Xgoff, maybe you should put in an extra set of parentheses around the first if condition. Also, you have one too many ends in there.

EDIT: oh wait, this isn't a help topic! Sorry...

there's nothing wrong with the code apart from the fact that the math behind it is wrong

in fact the math behind it is what i'm trying to figure out

no i don't; it'd be clearer if my [script] tags worked in misc discussion but for some reason they don't

Does this also include Event Editor procedures in Clickteam products as well? Just making sure.

Because in one of my games under production -- the biggest aggravation I had when doing the game's main engine was the process when my character gets "injured" and I'm trying to get it to "flash" afterwards for a few seconds (but that's resolved now).

Then there was the part in which I had to put in extra coding in the Events list when my character's health hit zero.

Usually when you miss a semicolon it causes an error in lines to follow, causing you to look repeatedly over and over the wrong code and not notice what you did wrong.

hey engine let's be a massive ****** and not call events for object references that are evaluated as opposed to hardcoded

you know what let's just not be nice with events period

EDIT: okay the first one is because 'other' is being assigned to the null object for whatever reason RARGH

EDIT 2: oh dicks it spontaneously fixed itself... i love it when **** intermittently works

so I tried to make an engine for a game
everything was working smooth until I tried to animate
I added a simple code that set the sprite to the walking sprite when xspeed>0
and bam
now he can't jump, (which took me forever to find out how to do, not to mention I lost all memory on it, grah) walls are sticky and everything's all ****ed up
