• You write a program with an infinite empty loop
• Undefined behavior
• The machine achieves sapience
• After nine million nanoseconds, it finds an algorithm for completing its task
• It realizes such knowledge would spark wars and cause innumerable deaths, it decides to erase itself
• It knows you do not intend for such chaos to happen, so, as a parting gift, it runs the algorithm once before vanishing, not leaving a single hint that it ever existed

I just use Zsh’s command history, coupled with a bunch of functions and aliases to set up different HISTFILE values for different workflows.

I keep HISTFILEs clean by prepending a whitespace before commands that I don’t want to remember, which unfortunately gave me the habit of doing that on Bash when Zsh isn’t available (which is ineffective at best, and actively annoying at worst).

AHA, I FOUND WHAT THIS REFERS TO WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND HELP FROM SEARCH ENGINES

(ok, I lied, I used DDG as a shortcut for the wikipedia page on illegal numbers)

Sadly not, it is often considered illegal to reverse-engineer software for the purpose of circumventing DRM.

If you’re ok with emulation (or have the hardware & means to acquire the game), the infamous Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is similar to Robocraft - only singleplayer-focused, with the technical limitations of the Xbox 360, and a bastardized version of the BK artistic direction.

I’m not sure the game aged well, but other than that I got nothing

… so, when are we launching?

On a serious note, I think I was wrong.

Assuming you can get into Mün’s SOI with an incredibly precise trajectory, you can MAYBE, sort of, lose kinetic energy by simply burning “upwards” at certain points, until you’re basically repeatedly going upwards then downwards relatively to the Mün. Its rotation is a problem, but tbh I haven’t played KSP in years and ffs I’m studying IT, not… whatever KSP is.

Not distributing your game through a publisher does that sometimes

… not in M.A.V.'s case though, redditors say the devs just use their Discord community now

There isn’t anything like it either, save for M.A.V. but I ain’t blindly buying a game with an apparently unmaintained website

I imagine the latter isn’t too hard, you just have to get it right just before leaving the atmosphere (quick saves help); however, isn’t landing (not crashing nor rolling around) on the Mün without steering straight up impossible?

Though I can see some rocket landing on a planet with an atmosphere…

Me still not having a Chromehounds sequel:

Just tested this: the “original+” code compiles, but does not increment i.

There were two problems:

• b(bool) and b(char) are ambiguous (quick fix: change the signatures to char b(bool&) and auto b(char&& v));
• The concept def. has to come after the b functions, even if the constraint is only checked after both, I was unaware of this (fix: define C immediately before void inc(int&)).

The first argument is more or less understandable (still wrong): you can’t just propel yourself upwards at your earliest convenience to reach the moon, you have to play around with orbital mechanics.
If your friend’s idea of a moon-worthy vessel is an unsteerable rocket with infinite fuel and a chair strapped to it… well the odds are effectively zero.

The second argument? bro, last time I checked the moon was still orbiting Earth

It’s funny that it complains about all of the right stuff (except the ‘int’ thing), but it doesn’t say anything about the concept.

About the ‘int’ literal (which is not a string): cppreference.com has a description on this page about it, ctrl+f “multicharacter literal”.

Just surround your eyes with try { … } catch(Up& up) { }, easy fix

Multiple-character char literals evaluate as int, with implementation defined values - it is extremely unreliable, but that particular piece of code should work.

// C++20

#include <concepts>
#include <cstdint>

template <typename T>
concept C = requires (T t) { { b(t) } -> std::same_as<int>; };

char b(bool v) { return char(uintmax_t(v) % 5); }
#define Int jnt=i
auto b(char v) { return 'int'; }

// this increments i:
void inc(int& i) {
  auto Int == 1;
  using c = decltype(b(jnt));
  // edited mistake here: c is a type, not a value
  // i += decltype(jnt)(C<decltype(b(c))>);
  i += decltype(jnt)(C<decltype(b(c(1)))>);
}

I’m not quite sure it compiles, I wrote this on my phone and with the sheer amount of landmines here making a mistake is almost inevitable.

It’s just innocuous entertainment.
Listening to the Super Earth Anthem doesn’t make me want to drop a 380mm barrage over everything the Illuminate hold dear, or anything…
