The real winner is to make one that doesn't break down when new specials are made.

So I decided to take up the challenge and created... InitParse!

InitParse dynamically detects special blocks and their parameters (and it does not have any special block ids hardcoded). Therefore, it will not break when new blocks are introduced in the game.
It has been optimized for performance and parsing "init" messages of semi-full 200x200 worlds took ~475µs (about 1/2000th second) on average.

How to use:
Visit the github page and copy paste the file contents of InitParse.cs into your own project.

Sounds pretty cool.

madiik · 2015-03-19 18:29:47

There's a problem here:

if (m.Type != "init" && e.Type != "reset")

e does not exist in current context. It should be m.

It's whatever you name your PlayerIoClient.Message, you can name it banana, everyone just uses 'm' for 'message'

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but how do I pass the roomData variable (uint[*.*.*]) to a variable that I can use from m.Type == "say"?
This is of course from the example. I am new to world deserializers. Anyway, since I need to verify a block in the m.Type == "say" message, I'd kinda like to know how to have this variable declared at the start. I can't seem to be able to create such a uint variable.

If he made his Message parameter to "m", it should be "m" not "e"

My bad -_- Has been fixed, thanks madiik for pointing it out.

Psychocrysma: First create a variable outside your function:

static uint[,,] world;

Then set it in your code, so you have something like this:

static uint[,,] world;
static void Connection_OnMessage(object sender, Message e)
{
    switch (e.Type)
    {
        case "init":
            var roomData = new uint[2, e.GetInt(12), e.GetInt(13)];
            var chunks = InitParse.Parse(e);
            foreach (var chunk in chunks)
                foreach (var pos in chunk.Locations)
                    roomData[chunk.Layer, pos.X, pos.Y] = chunk.Type;

            // Set the world
            world = roomData;
            break;

        case "say":
            if (world[0, 0, 0] == 44) { // If top left corner is fully black...
                // TODO: Do something here
            }
            break;
    }
}

EDIT: He fixed it. Thanks~

madiik · 2015-03-19 19:07:27

He fixed it. Re-copy the source. Note how his previous version has "static uint[] world;" instead of "static uint[,,] world;"

Psychocrysma · 2015-03-19 19:42:26

So, I got this error:
Translation: Index is out of the limits of the table. Well, it's too big.
EDIT: My world is the biggest size you can have in the shop. Dunno how it was called~

I also get this error that makes me think that there's probably something very wrong in there:

madiik · 2015-03-19 19:55:22

I can't even seem to assign the "world" variable, BUT I NEED IT. It's just like...

var roomData = new uint[1, m.GetInt(12) - 1, m.GetInt(13) - 1];
                var chunks = InitParse.Parse(m);
                foreach (var chunk in chunks)
                    foreach (var pos in chunk.Locations)
                        roomData[chunk.Layer, pos.X, pos.Y] = chunk.Type;
                // oh let's stop here and not let madiik assign this variable :) :) :) :)
                world = roomData;

Processor · 2015-03-19 22:09:33

Oh come on people, learn to debug. Everyone makes off-by-one errors

I've fixed the error in examples.

Must be

var roomData = new uint[2, e.GetInt(12), e.GetInt(13)];

instead of

var roomData = new uint[1, e.GetInt(12) - 1, e.GetInt(13) - 1];

Note to self: Next time, make sure to debug your code before posting it here...

                // oh let's stop here and not let madiik assign this variable :) :) :) :)
                world = roomData;

Yeah that's because its crashing before it can set the variable, try the fix I posted above.

Jesse, Koya

madiik · 2015-03-19 22:26:40

Then again... Your github readme says "0, m.GetInt(12), m.GetInt(13)"

Are we sure that even Processor knows how to handle this?

I don't see how this "chunk" system works.

MOAR EDIT:

I don't believe you know how your own deserializer works. Tried the fix above

Well, still not working for me. I'm not sure what's wrong. Your code is way too advanced for me (in the class, I mean). Well, I'm going to guess that there is still a lot to be done on this. I have the same problem as madiik BTW

Console: No Errors.
Output: No Errors.
ME: Cool , let's try.
*some minutes later*
ME: FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU. CODE RUIINED. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
No seriously, index was outside of array? oh mah gosh...
Variables.blockIDs = new uint[2, m.GetInt(12), m.GetInt(13)];
var chunks = InitParse.Parse(m);
foreach (var chunk in chunks)
{
foreach (var pos in chunk.Locations)
{
Variables.blockIDs[chunk.Layer, pos.X, pos.Y] = chunk.Type;
}
}
Variables.blockIDs is same as roomData. EXACTLY EQUAL (except not a var and yes an uint[,,]).
It's supposed to work, but even with normal roomData it did the same.

does not liek this.

Processor, Psychocrysma

I still didn't test it even once. Q_Q

Okay so, my bad, I got owned by operator precedence. Use the newer version of the gist, I promise it works now (because I actually tested it once!!)

lol processor is too good to test, no time for that
Very nice tho

Argh, I'm probably misguided but seeing quantum physics stuff this like just for a Flash game makes me give up all my hope of actually learning programming someday.

It's fixed now.
Also processor,

'The (best)','Therefore, it will not break when new blocks are introduced in the game.'
>= Breaks 4 times

kkkkk i beliv u omg give me siganutre
(no srs, breaks 4 times before works at once)
