Great idea, how about you describe it in so much minute details it bores your goddamn mind? Can’t do it? Sorry, then you’re not cut for being the idea guy, you’re fired.

If the fucker can’t do the above, he’s what programmers call a client: an asshole who thinks too highly of himself and his ideas and will annoy everyone every time he changes the goals.

i mean, provided you actually want to put in effort that’s called “being a game designer”, it’s perfectly valid to not write code or create assets.

Asking for and/or expecting unpaid volunteers is most definitely not valid.

If he wants to pay them properly, then I would agree.

Previous commit was some stupid easy fix I didn’t even bother compiling. Well, I should have, because it was the first time in recent memory I committed some code with a missing semicolon…

Before anyone asks : no, we don’t do reviews ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think this might be the first of these I’ve seen where pretty much all the comments are just agreement.

I thought I was reading The Onion for a second.

xmunk , in 93% of Paint Splatters are Valid Perl Programs

Aka our OCR software is insanely inaccurate.

It’s interesting that mapping random noise to characters via OCR generally produces valid perl… but I always hated how they phrased the title of this experiment since it’s obviously bullshit. Essentially, a good interesting experiment made less interesting by a sensationalist title.

SpaceNoodle ,

It’s whimsical, Leland.

xmunk ,

Whimsical is awesome - but be upfront about what’s going on. It’s interesting enough without an overly sensational title.

mox OP ,

I think it’s okay to relax a little when we’re just having a bit of fun.

BatmanAoD ,

Perl programs are, by definition, text. So “paint splatters are valid Perl” implies that there’s a mapping from paint splatters to text.

Do you have a suggested mapping of paint splatters to text that would be more “accurate” than OCR? And do you really think it would result in fewer valid Perl programs?

“Feeding garbage to OCR” is a really boring way of generating text. I was assuming it would be something more interesting, like creating a symbolic representation of the splatters and generating text from that. Using OCR is basically piping /dev/urandom to perl and seeing what happens. The fact that they’re valid perl programs is worth a laugh but the generation method is totally uninteresting.

BatmanAoD ,

I agree that a symbolic representation of the splatters would probably be more interesting. The whole point is that random character sequences are often valid Perl, though, so changing the generation method wouldn’t change that aspect.

When I read the headline I also assumed “valid Perl program” meant it did something interesting. I was expecting to read an article about an interesting image to text conversion process that produced non-trivial Perl programs.
