Posted in Multiply on Jan 24, ‘09 8:28 PMHello guys…

This is the very first time I posted something out of the blue (well, maybe not the first time; it doesn’t matter anyway). It is SO boring here (I don’t have the urge to study) so whatever this post’s outcome will be, then so be it. :)

For starters:

[img 404]This picture is from Digimon Adventure 01 (the anime I am currently watching). For those who do not know, this code is the one translated from symbols by Koushiro (Tentomon’s owner). At first glance, it is just a BASIC code (please correct me if I’m wrong) that does mathematical computations (notice the square root functions) and does further processing via the fractal function (which then calls itself recursively).

I’ll just type the code here:

100 /* func sample, coast creation */ 110 float s 120 while s<1 or s>2 130 input “ratio 1 to 2”; s 140 endwhile 150 s = (s-1)/10+1 160 screen 1,2,1,1 170 s=sqr(s*s-1) 180 float x0=100, x1=412, y0=0, y1=0 190 fractal(x0,x1,y0,y1,1)200 line(100, 50, 412, 50, 255, 65535) 210 end220 func fractal(x0;float,x1;float,y0;float,y1;float,sp;int) 230 float l, r, x2, y2 240 l=sqr[(x1-x0)*(x1-x0)+(y1-y0)*(y1-y0)] 250 if l<2 or sp>=9 then ( 260 line(x0,y0/3+50,x1,y1/3+50,255,65535) ; return() 270 ) 280 r=rnd()+rnd()+rnd()-2 290 x2=(x0+x1)/2+s*(y1-y0)*r 300 y2=(y0+y1)/2+s(x0+x1)*r 310 sp = sp + 1 320 fractal(x0,x2,y0,y2,sp) 330 fractal(x2,x1,y2,y1,sp) 340 endfunc There! Done typing! :)

What’s notable with this is that this code segment seem to do nothing but churn numbers (with the distance formula appearing at line 240 and the midpoint fla at lines 290 and 300), then call fractal again recursively two times (at lines 320 and 330). The program gets input at line 130 via a while loop. When input is either less than 1 or greater than 2, the program again prompts the user to enter a number (displaying the message “ratio 1 to 2”). As you can see, the valid inputs are from the interval (1,2) (1 and 2 not included).

Also, there you can see function line at 200, which was not declared in this code segment. My guess is that maybe this is a built-in function, or declared somewhere else (of course, this should be declared somewhere).

Also, this function returns when 250 is satisfied, after executing 260 (calling function line then returning afterwards). Whatever function line does, we do not know; this is the only code segment that was shown at the whole season.

What interests me so much is that this code segment made the following transformation possible:

On the left is Tentomon (holding Koushiro’s laptop) and to the right is Kabuterimon, Tentomon’s Adult form.

Cool, isn’t it? (This happened at ep 5).

Secondly, this picture:

This is what my Firefox looks like now. This is about:blank page.

How did I do it? Btw, this is my Linux version of Firefox.

1. Install Stylish add-on. 2. Then, go to www.userscripts.org and search for the following scripts:

a. Matrix - Global Style <- makes all webpages have a black background and green text b. about:blank - Dark Firefox <- for displaying the blue Firefox logo at every blank tab c. BlackMail (real black gmail Theme) d. Firefox 3 - Chrome Theme (Dark Gray) Tabs on Top <- for Google Chrome styled tabs e. Firefox 3 - Tab Tweaks f. OneManga - Optimal Viewing g. Yahoo! Wide BlackForest

Anyway, all of these are optional; so choose whatever you like.

I conclude this post by wishing you a happy day. :)

Also, there are no opening/closing braces, which are prerequisites in C programs for grouping statements. Also, “input” is not a special word in C, but it is in BASIC.Please be not offended. I don’t intend to offend anybody, I’m just saying what I know. [img 404] none taken!we all are human, thus flawed! :D and its good to learn something new! :D | |—|—|
