1. Pixel bot examples?
now, being a fairly new user to Euphoria (and a huge fan of it already),
I'm still learning all the little nuances and tricks that come with
learning a new language. I decided I'd get a hold on the language by
writing my own Pixel Bot. I have a working one, as it is, but I'd love
to see examples of what other people are doing, as I'm the type of
person who learns by seeing, and it's hard enough already to find
Euphoria resources on the internet, not to mention examples of Pixel
Bots.
Speaking of Euphoria resources, does anyone have a good web site that
could save me from having to ask any stupid questions on the mailing
list? =)
Thank you,
Greg

Why dont you share you bot with the world ?
Im not sure for which botengine it is meant. Is it for the engine available
at RDS' site, you could just post it here. Otherwise here's the link to site
of the other (much more complex) botmatch engine (it has its own mailing
list, although not that active, it is esspecially ment for sharing bots )...
http://www.hippy.freeserve.co.uk/pixelbot.htm
The link to web-acces to its list-server should be there as well.

I lost a lot of bot code in a horrible hard disk accident, so I'm still
sore when it comes to this subject. However, I'll be posting most of the
code I have to http://euphoric.webjump.com.
Short Description: From initial location, head in a random compass
direction until we hit a wall. Find shortest "turn distance" to wall and
turn bot that way. Follow wall to end of bot maze.
Simple, but fun. What was especially enjoyable was getting the bot down
diagonal walls... I don't know if I have the most efficient code for
this part, actually.
Anyway, I'll be posting it tonight. If not, tomorrow.
Later.

Thank you, everyone, for the help I've recieved so far, I appreciate it.
Now, I have an idea for a website. A nice archive of written code,
whether it be full source, or just parts, maybe some tutorials or
general help with writing a bot.... what do you think? Good idea? Bad?
Already been done?
I just think it'd be nice to have a sort of central place, where people
could download pixelbots to their hearts desire, or upload their
creations for the world to see, and for other people to learn off of.
Give me your feedback, thanks
Greg

Hey, neksys! Good idea. :)
I'm trying to do that already at the web site I provided. Any and all
help is appreciated, and there will be a Pixel Bot area goin' up real
soon now.
Check out http://euphoric.webjump.com.
Let me know what you think and what more needs to be done.
Thanks.

Not really. Previousle we had Irv's Ftp + Archives, that was pretty nice,
however it is gone now. I myself am also working on something, however im a
bit lazy so I wrote a little program that turns directories, .url files,
.zip's and other 'download-extension' files into a website using a template.
You can see it in action at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~nieuwen
However, im not very satisfied with the layout and the contents is still
pretty basic, I only have a few libraries, etc. So, this is not the official
'promotion' or something, and it will be improved. (a hint.. go into the
'chambers' )
Have fun all, got to go to school again.. just ONE more weeek..
