*Innocent look*

So I can calculate things like the XKCD number.

"Can" also means that you need a computer powerful enough. Besides, unless computing large numbers is a hobby (I wouldn't put it past you) or some part of your job, I'd think you'd be better off writing your own functions. That's probably what such a feature would look like in any language anyway, even as a builtin.

 

Point.

I just think it would be amusing.

You want amusing? Look at LOLCODE.

Seen it.

Also Brain Fuck, Whitespace, Piet, Velato, Omgrofl, Malbolge, and Befunge.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Dammit, stop being cooler than me. Although I do have to thank you for showing me those.

 

TBH I'd only heard about Malbolge before, but not in detail, and Befunge I found when trying to find Piet (by which I mean I'd forgotten the name).

I mean, look at Lisp.

Lisp is a functional language, not an imperative language.

While you obviously cant only have one way of doing things for everything, I'm sure it is one of the reasons why the parenthesis trick usually doesn't work. I'm sure it could be implemented without too much trouble, but is avoided for other reasons.

Yes, I know, but it's difficult to work with, and to understand.

 

PYTHON FTW!

I don't even know how I stumbled across LOLCODE; I think it was the Wikipedia random button. I was actually thinking about making an esoteric language myself that was completely grammatically correct.

Let "x" represent the number five.
If the value represented by "x" is greater than three, write "Hello, World" to the console.

That's called Natural Language Programming.  Wolfram Alpha is a good example.

Well, yes, but with fixed syntax, because I'm not that talented.

      Forge 1.21 – How can I add a custom HUD Overlay (Item Icon + Text)

      By OhOhIWontLetUGo · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!

      [1.20.1] Severe server freeze when exiting Nether portal or entering End (no mods, Forge 1.20.1, Arch Linux)

      [Help] How to update a mod from 1.19.2 to 1.20.1

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!

      Crash the server

      Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
