No they put out their feelers but they couldn't find anyone that would put up with us and our behaviour!

Hard to live with but I guess we've only got ourselves to blame, But hey! It's easier to live in denial!

Not everything is a conspiracy
Maybe. But to programmers English IS a native language. I never understood how you could begin trying to code without even understanding and more importantly express content in English.

Patch info is needed by sukhoi.ru because true
developers why must they write because coder blue
In Mother Russia, the forum posts you.
That is why they post and patch sukhoi.ru cuz its a sim too
They do not write official forum because its moo
and not official, it is trivial to do

B patient R U?

Really? Here's a random bit of Java (probably with added bugs.. I wrote it)
Quote:
public boolean importCAGraphicLattice(CAEngine engine, File file) {
if (!file.exists() || !file.canRead() || file.isDirectory()) {
showErrorMessage(importTitle, "Unable to read " + file.getName());
return false;
}
try {
image = ImageIO.read(file);
} catch (Exception e) {
showErrorMessage(importTitle, "Error reading " + file.getName() +
":\n" + e);
return false;
}
if (image == null) {
showErrorMessage(importTitle, "File " + file.getName() +
" is not a known graphic format");
return false;
}
System.out.println("File: " + file.getName());
System.out.println("Image: " + image);
int cCols = countImageColors();
System.out.println("Colours: " + cCols);
if(cCols > {
showErrorMessage(importTitle, "File " + file.getName() +
" has too many colours for a valid lattice");
return false;
}
if(cCols > engine.getRule().getNumCellStates()) {
showErrorMessage(importTitle, "File " + file.getName() +
" has too many colours/states for the current rule");
return false;
}
if(!readStateColors(engine.getRule().getNumCellSta tes())){
showErrorMessage(importTitle, "File " + file.getName() +
" does not define colour/state correspondance\n" +
"(see Help for further information)");
// I could add a dialog box to sort out correspondances...
return false;
}
for(int c = 0; c < cCols; c++)
System.out.println("Colour " + c + ": " + stateColors[c]);
try {
int w = image.getWidth();
int h = image.getHeight() - 1; // exclude state color row
engine.setLatticeSize(w, h);
CACursor.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR);
for(int y = 0; y < h; y++)
for(int x = 0; x < w; x++) {
int c = image.getRGB(x, y);
int v = 0;
for(int t = 0; t < cCols; t++)
if(stateColorRGBs[t] == c)
v = t;
engine.setCell(x, y, v);
}
} catch (CAException e) {
CACursor.setDefaultCursor();
showErrorMessage(importTitle, "Error loading " + file.getName() +
":\n" + e);
return false;
}
CACursor.setDefaultCursor();
return true;
}
How many non-programmer English-speakers would consider that to be written in English? I've used vaguely-English names for variables, methods etc, but I could just have easily used any language compatible with the recognised character set for the language. Arbitrary labels are just that - arbitrary. And programming 'languages' aren't languages in the normal sense at all, any more than '6 x 7 = 42' or 'R = S/C+V' is.

EDIT: - just to clarify, the smiley character isn't normally used in Java, and I do actually indent code when I write it - the formatting seems to have got slightly screwed up when I pasted it here...

Have to agree with Madfish.

As an example, not knowing russian and programming in russian would be...very если!

Code:
общественного логический Ошибкапричтении(попробуйте двигателя, если файл) {
если (если.прочитать () | |! если.Поймать () | | если.изображение ()) {
определяетцвет (прочитать, "Невозможно прочитать" + если.прочитать ());
вернуться ложным;
}
}

No, it is not. Even if programming languages borrow keywords from English, it does not mean that they are more than keywords for programmers.

it's not normal that information in a russian forum is not automatiquely reported on the official forum...
i can believe that developpeur don't succeed to write english, even if it's a "bad-english" ( like me )

I want all the info in Czech first. It is mÿ right 'cause I purchased the game here, in the Czech Republic. It cost me fortune (699 CZK, to be exact ie. some 30 €)

Ilya, how you even dare to publish it in Russian or English and not in Czech at all for the God sake?

How you even dare... whatever.
