Back to college.

Posted by Tyranic-Moron on Sept. 6, 2006, 11:41 a.m.

So, I noticed there's been a lot of other blogs about going back to school, college, or whatever. How's it going for all you guys? I'm off back to college tommorow. Yip-de-doo. Oh well, I guess I kind of need to, if I want to get enough A-levels to go on to Uni and study Game Design.

In other news, I'll be 18 in November. Since I live in the UK, that means I'll be able to legally drink alcohol :P

On a GM related note, I've kinda started work on some new scripts. They're supposed to make it so you can use particles more easily, but heh, it's a bit tricky to simplify something that needs that amount of arguments to get anything looking good.

On a php related note, I've finished my bbcode parsing script. Dunno if this will display properly, I'll remove it if it doesn't:

[removed - too large. go here to see it: bbcode parsing script]

There's a way to fix the url tag, but it prevents you using the [[blk]blk] tag or any ']' brackets :P

There's also a script that un-parses, but that's easy to get from this one. (hint, it's to do with the str_replace)

– Tyranic-Moron, out!

Thats a nice little PHP function there, I might have to steal it. One thing, you might want to change the b tag into the strong tag.

Yeah, I guess so. The b tag is getting kind of out-dated now =/

I went back to school today. Apart from the 6th formers, our year is now top of the school ^_^

Easy to do, but cool. I'm talking about the script.

That aint a parser. a parser reads thru the input string little by little in order to do fancy things like [[blk]code=blah] [[blk]/code]

Tyranic-Moron 18 years, 3 months ago

what do you mean, 'fancy things like [[blk]code=blah] [[blk]/code]'?

My script reads through the text, and replaces any of the bbcode things with the html equivalents, and for the code and quote ones, it makes 'fancy things like' a code and a quote box with different formatting. That is exactly what a bbcode parser does =/

Oh cool, how's college working out? I know some people love college compared to 6th form at a school.

Yeah, college is pretty awesome. No uniform, no dumbasses in the lessons, parts of the day off, drinking and eating in lessons. heh, it's overall-ly awesome :D. Apart from all the extra work, of course. But the good points out-weigh that really.
