Hello world...

What language was the origional logo? Otherwise for me it was either the comodore or spectrum I think, the one where you typed your game out for a hour, played for 10 mins, it crashed and all was wiped.
Yeah, the 2nd one was Logo, which we had on our Apple II machines. The first was Basic on a C64 era machine.

I did type such a game out and modify it and such. Spent ours looking at the “list” output to try and find typos.

:coffee:
I’m always a fan of x = x - 1, where operator- is overridden to do +.
 
We live in a society :coffee::popcorn:
I am just tired of the insults, I am more than just a bit salty about them. Honestly and truly, I just wanted us to have fun, even bond a little over how we all started to put us all on an even plain. But no, you always have to get that one a-hole that took a dump in the drinking water.

Well, I was happy when my hello world worked. It looked different from most attempts, and yet a great many have done the same. It was nice to see how we can think differently and still think the same. But I am not going to take it from a-holes any more. Why should we? I am going to call them out, put the shiny light of Hemorrhoids on them. Why not?

Try not to take everything on the internet so seriously.
 
In the case of say analyzing roof deflection, a human draws an area they want analyzed on a previously reconstructed 3D model.

The point cloud is then cut along that polygon with a reasonable buffer to reduce the amount of data needed to be analyzed.

The challenge is then to best fit a plane to the structure of the roof, ignoring noisy data, trees which may have grown over parts, conduits, aircons, solar panels, debris etc. Once that's done we basically spit out and save the equation of that plane in point-normal form.

The 3D model (with faces) is then compared to that plane to generate a map of the deflections of the physical roof. That plane is then colored similar to this random picture from the internet and overlaid on the 3D model for display and further analysis to the user (comparing pitch of one side of the roof to the other etc.

Edit: In practice it looks something like this, only the model is real world data.

Cool, I once did the graphics for a fellow student at varsity that did a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model of one of Iscor's dams where they needed to determine how much & how long it would take to achieve a certain % mix when pumping some secondary fluid into the dam.

Good old days, free from this corporate bullsheite I have to deal with every day.
 
Oh... Its that time of the month....
@Romy_ this is actually factual.
Usually about midway through the month, @RedViking turns into an absolute ****** for no apparent reason. If you ignore him for about a week he usually returns to his usual, sunny disposition. Just stick it out like the rest of us do.

Worse.

He's married so it's second-hand PMS and he takes his physical and mental frustrations out on us.

This is true, although I don't hurt bunnies and hamsters.
 
My first few lines of code were either:
10 PRINT “HELLO WORLD “;
20 GOTO 10
Or
FD 50
RT 90
FD 50
RT 90
FD 50
RT 90
FD 50
RT 90

Some 40+ years ago.

Try FizzBuzz next:

My very first program was on my Spectrum 48k:
10 GOTO 20
20 GOTO 10

It went into an obvious loop, but on the Spectrum it would launch the coloured scrolling bars around the screen such as when loading a game, so I considered it a success.

Well, since we are blunt and on the subject, I guess. Just know, "some woman" get it, not all of us do. Maybe it is because I am a heavy smoker, maybe it is because I smoke while exercising. I can't tell you. But only two things makes me moody. 1 > if I don't have my coffee, heaven's help anyone that cross my path and 2 > if someone hides my cigarettes. Then I am just a dragon outright, no excuses. Other than that, I am chill 99% of the time.

I don't really care if smoking kills me, I am not that fond of life to begin with. I don't like vaping, I feel if you are going to smoke, do it properly. But yea...

So, are we cool for now?

ach buggrit, here's my take on this hello world thing

Program HelloWorld;
Begin
Writeln('Hello World');
End.

@OP - there's always more than one way to skin a c*t.

As long as you don't puff your smoke over into my area we're cool. :)

Well you see now, there's an issue. You said if someone hides your cigarettes then you're a dragon. However, dragons blow smoke and fire and if your cigs have been stolen, you cannot blow smoke and there's no fire. So the logic doesn't work there as you have attributes assigned to a missing item instead of the item being present.

Please keep this lesson in mind as you advance in your coding career.
