539 signs that you're addicted to CodeWalrus (or calculators)

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 31, 2016, 11:37:49 PM

I am surprised we don't have this topic yet [edit: it looks like we had one, but it was named differently and not related to calcs, so I decided to merge both] considering the days where 100% of CW members were Omnimaga exiles are over, but here is it now. Ideally you should try to keep up with past signs to avoid repeating too much, though. That might make it easier one day to compile all signs in one text. Anyway the rule is to not double-post unless it has been 24 hours and avoid spammy signs such as "1: lol" or saying "I like repeating a lot" over and over. Here I go:

26) You have been into calculators since before the birth of some current members
27) You made over 100 derivatives from

sprites.
28) Your calculator is one of (if not your) most used gaming console.
29) Your calculator is your main computer.

What did I do?

also 11 is scary

Also I wonder how I could forget the following:

37. You own more than one graphing calculator (in my case 29)
38. You own multiple copies of the same graphing calculator model (*cough* @CVSoft 's TI-80 collection *cough*)

39. you use your calc to browse the internet. (Gossamer)
40. Even your English accepts the fact you need your calc in class.
41. Your reputation for programming far surpasses what you can actually do.
42. You become enraged at Walrifier for not working over data.

43. You've tried to make some sort of calculator RPG and failed. (Anyone? Don't hide!)

About Gossamer and Calcnet chat, it's funny how it's easier to chat on CodeWalrus for free on a TI calculator than it is on an iPad

Also @E37 isn't there a Walrifier setting that allows using data? If not then that's probably something @Cumred_Snektron might want to implement.

44: You have tried to make multiple calculator RPGs and succeeded

(Note that 44 applied several times to me too, despite finishing many)

45. You managed to release a calc RPG a month
(still not sure how it was possible o.o)

That's called good (or poor?

) time management.

But one thing that sped up development was the fact most graphics used ASCII art. The other thing is that I often re-used code from previous Illusiat/ROL games in the next ones (Illusiat 7 uses the same engine as Illusiat 6). I also had a lot of free time due to school not being very demanding at the time.

Yo, what happened to the reasons?

46. You know C and have never made a came for a PC/Mac, only for a Calculator

47. When asked what languages you know, you list all the calc related languages first.

48. You have a fascination for walruses.

@Unicorn there is no rule in this topic stating that every single post should have a reason. It's recommended to have reasons, though.

49. When asked what language do you speak, you answer TI-BASIC, ASM, Axe or some other similar language instead of English/Dutch/etc.

JUju did the opposite at a Job interview.

So a little bump:

50. You just realizes there was actually another topic similar to this on CW then merge them. This would normally not be a sign that I am addicted to CW, but the fact I went as far as doing the effort of editing all previous posts to increment the numbers by 15 makes it one.

51. You are saving money for a trip to Quebec City just to see the five walruses located at the Quebec Aquarium, hoping you'll get to see a show with the three adult

doing tricks

52. You already went to see the walruses at Quebec Aquarium, but were disappointed that they couldn't fly like

u/Yuki August 05, 2016, 06:36:26 AM

Eh, told ya there was another topic about that.

I can't believe I actually did that. They asked me in what programming language this project was written in and I said English.

53. You acknowledge the fact DJ is cranked enough to increment every number in the thread by 15.
