Anyone know anything about LOLcode?

We wanna program our robot in this and we only have a little bit accomplished, so what should we do?

Re: Anyone know anything about LOLcode?

Sorry to be so blunt, but: although LOLcode is funny, you should use a real programming language.

You'd have to write an interpreter to convert LOLcode into one of the other languages (C++ or Java), which would require actually defining a lot of things about LOLcode and porting the libraries. Not worth it...

I appreciate the suggestion but we already got to far to turn back now, if anyone has any code that they can show us i would appreciate it. any other ideas?

You are still in week one (for another day), no way are you too far along now. Seriously, use a real programming language. Lolcode is far too silly and unprofessional.

LOLcode is beast. I've used a Java interpreter for it once - it would definitely be worth it. You would probably get a standing ovation from everyone for it!

I agree with Andy.

It's ok to be unprofessional if it's hilarious but what the heck? :)

If your mentors are fine with it, and you really want to waste your time, go ahead. Your mentors don't put in hours for you to port WPILib in to LOLCode.

Imagine if they won the Championships with LOLCode. That would be a worthy achievement.

But seriously - don't.

You are all wrong, real programmers don't waste time with compilers and all that nonsense because they use binary

No, real binary programmers use butterflies to create air pockets which direct cosmic rays onto hard-drive platters to flip bits.

No, real programmers make references to xkcd in casual conversation.

Re: Anyone know anything about LOLcode?

18 posts to make an xkcd reference? SHAME on you CD SHAME!

(Btw, frcfeed v3 has a line in it #import soul, my religion won't let me play god so I can't uncomment it. ;) )

Andy, Vivek, I personally laughed at this thread, anything that makes one laugh in build season = ok in my book.

Op, if you want to write your robot code in lolcode and you make it so you can go right ahead. You will learn a ton. Remember folks, most languages are all equally powerful some just make things easier than others.

Since this thread is sort of full of jokes, who knows what the probability of the worlds greatest programmer solving any given programming problem is?

(And real programmers use Lisp)

Re: Anyone know anything about LOLcode?

EBFE, anyone?

Nice try, but there was a LOLCODE topic last year. It's OK to try to be funny if you're also being original.
To shut the haters up: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/285110/20090124.zip
You have no excuses. Take the code (it's all mostly #defines) and use what you want, but it won't work by itself.

That probability, BTW, is X, where X is somewhere between 0 and 0xFF.

Coming from someone learning Lisp and Haskell at the same time I have to say that I like Lisp better than Haskell. Lisp is nice and clean IMHO.

Look at the field, its EXACLTY like the breakaway game. Therefore this must be an awesome robot design. I know what my team is building now!

This joke thread provided me with great lulz. And, that LOLCODE language looks pretty interesting, personally. Definitely not for the robot, but just to learn it.
