Re: Menuing system of OEUO

Just like everything Cheffe does, he's complicated the use of other 3rd party tools, so getting the stuff running in SUO will be difficult I'm finding....

I think the biggest problem people will have is case sensitivity.  But it's easy once you get used to it.  Also, learning some of the new lua stuff is a bit of a pain if you've never programmed.  Lots of new stuff to learn.  But writing scripts will be just as easy as in EUO I think, it's the more advanced stuff that's gonna suck to learn without tutorials and people to help.

For the normal programmers out there, the case-sensitivity thing isn't a biggy.  I never really noticed it in EUO since I do so much stuff in other languages that are highly case-sensitive.  The problem where the case sensitivity comes into play is in Lua, there is no formal declaration of a variable, so you get lulled into a false sense of safety when in fact you are trying to reference an uninitialized variable.

You can fix this by encapsulating your data from within a table.  Then if you try and reference a variable in a table, but it's not declared, you'll get an error.  Might help a bit.

If you explain that with a little code example it probly would.  Otherwise you're speakin Zimbabwan.

This sounds awesome (I love structured programming) and is pulling me in a little more each day I here you talking about lua TM.

But some times I still think cheffe is toying with us and will pull the rug or toss a tantrum any minute and expect this again and again.

Honestly, that's what has prevented me from jumping in myself.  That and partially finished work.
