Success Stories
Many people use Ruby in their daily jobs. Others just as a hobby. Here you’ll find a small sample of real world usage of Ruby.
Simulations
- NASA Langley Research Center uses Ruby to conduct simulations.
- A research group in Motorola uses Ruby to script a simulator, both to generate scenarios and to post process the data.
3D Modeling
- Google SketchUp is a 3D modeling application that uses Ruby for its macro scripting API.
Business
- Toronto Rehab uses a RubyWebDialogs based app to manage and track on-call and on-site support for the IT help desk and IT operations teams.
Robotics
- At MORPHA project, Ruby was used to implemented the reactive control part for the Siemens service robot.
Networking
- Open Domain Server uses Ruby to allow people using Dynamic DNS clients to update in real time their IP configuration so that it can be mapped to static domains.
Telephony
- Ruby is being used within Lucent on a 3G wireless telephony product.
System Administration
- Ruby was used to write the central data collection portion of Level 3 Communications Unix Capacity and Planning system that gathers performance statistics from over 1700 Unix (Solaris and Linux) servers scattered around the globe.
Web Applications
- Basecamp, a web-based project management application developed by 37signals, is programmed entirely in Ruby.
- 43 Things allows you to keep a list of goals and share it with the world. It was developed entirely in Ruby.
- A List Apart, a magazine for people who make websites that has been around since 1997, has recently been revamped and uses a custom application built with Ruby on Rails.
- Blue Sequence, a sophisticated mission-critical application which forms part of Toyota Motor Manufacturing’s own “sequence-in-time” production process, has recently been selected as finalist the British Computer (BCS) Information Management Awards.
Security
- The Metasploit Framework, a community open source project managed by Rapid7, is a free penetration testing platform that helps IT professionals assess the security of their networks and applications. The Metasploit Project consists of over 700,000 lines of code and has been downloaded over a million times in 2010. The commercial editions Metasploit Express and Metasploit Pro developed by Rapid7 are also based on Ruby.


Breast Lift Without Breast Implants
Is it possible to do breast lift without breast implants? Many women claim that it is possible to increase bust size without implants, using herbal breast enhancement helped them to increase their breast size naturally.  Clients of natural breast upgrades have guaranteed that their breast size has expanded by up to two full cup sizes. Try not to take the homegrown breast upgrade supplement with refreshments that are carbonated or contain caffeine.
Women and men have been obsessed over breast size since God knows when, from birth time, we have got nourishment from our mom’s breasts. Young girls develop into young ladies and begin to build up their own breasts and regularly doing exercises to enlarge their bust size. Young men begin to take note of young ladies as their breasts become bigger and well, young men never grow out of their fixation on bigger breasts on a lady! A lady’s breasts are what cause her to feel provocative, erotic, and alive. This is why many women who survived breast cancer are glad to beat the disease, however frequently left crushed without their breasts. Fortunately, there is help now for all ladies, regardless of whether they want to increase their bust size naturally or surgically.
There are companies offering breast lift without breast implants using safe enhancement pills, non-hesitant options in contrast to medical procedures. Gone are the days where the careful increase was the main accessible choice for ladies who needed breast expansions. There are various options now, normal breast pills, cream for breast enhancement. Leaving ladies feeling hot, certain, and delightful!
A typical misguided judgment about characteristic breast enhancement is that it will just take weeks or a hardly any months to pick up results, for example, 1-2 cup sizes. This just isn’t the situation frequently since most ladies who do see achievement is normally increasing their breast size don’t see extensive outcomes for somewhere in the range of 6 months to a year. Additionally, it is significant that the privileged item is picked. A few ladies may react to one item or technique, while other ladies may not react by any means. Since everybody’s body and concoction cosmetics are so different, it is almost difficult to promise one single item will work the equivalent on everybody.
When it comes to natural breast enhancement or breast lift without breast implants by using either cream for breast enhancement or pills, these offer a lady a steady inclination of breast development, each early daytime awakening feeling increasingly well proportioned. We have had reports this has sent a flood into connections! Men love to rub the breast creams on their spouses what’s more, sweethearts breasts realizing that they are in a little manner scouring them to expand and more full! It resembles scouring the genie bottle and getting their greatest wish! Would you be able to envision what that does to a relationship?
Above all, this more secure option in contrast to a medical procedure permits women to have authority over what is happening to their bodies.

Revision 6/25/2017 cs7.51
In addition to concepts defined in script files, the system automatically defines a bunch of dictionary-based sets as well as dynamically computed concept members.
| set | description |
|---|---|
~web_url |
word is a web url |
~email_url |
word is an email address |
~kindergarten |
word learned early in life |
~grade1_2 |
word learned in these grades |
~grade3_4 |
word learned in these grades |
~grade_5-6 |
word learned in these grades. Unmarked words are learned even later |
~utf8 |
word has nonascii characters |
~daynumber |
word could be a number of a day in a month |
~yearnumber |
word could be the number of a recent year |
~dateinfo |
phrase is month day year of some kind |
~kelvin |
temperature marker |
~celcius |
temperature marker |
~fahrenheit |
temperature marker |
~twitter_name |
twitter user name |
~hashtag_label |
twitter topic reference |
Some words and phrases have interpretations based on whether they are at sentence start or not. E.g., good day, mate and It is a good day are different for good day.
Likewise sure and I am sure are different.
Words that have a different meaning at the start of a sentence are commonly called interjections.
In ChatScript these are defined by the livedata/interjections.txt
file. In addition, the file augments this concept with "discourse acts", phrases that are like an interjection. All interjections and discourse acts map to concept sets, which come thru as the user input instead of what they wrote.
For example yes and sure and of course are all treated as meaning the discourse act of agreement in the interjections file. So you don’t see yes, I will go coming out of the engine.
The interjections file will remap that to the sentence ~yes
, breaking off that into its own sentence, followed by I will go as a new sentence.
These generic interjections (which are open to author control via interjections.txt) are:
| interjection | description |
|---|---|
~yes |
|
~no |
|
~emomaybe |
|
~emohello |
|
~emogoodbye |
|
~emohowzit |
|
~emothanks |
|
~emolaugh |
|
~emohappy |
|
~emosad |
|
~emosurprise |
|
~emomisunderstand |
|
~emoskeptic |
|
~emoignorance |
|
~emobeg |
|
~emobored |
|
~emopain |
|
~emoangry |
|
~emocurse |
|
~emodisgust |
|
~emoprotest |
|
~emoapology |
|
~emomutual |
Because all interjections at the start of a sentence are broken off into their own sentence, this kind of pattern does not work:
u: (~yes _*)
You cannot capture the rest of the sentence here, because it will be part of the next sentence instead. This means interjections act somewhat differently from other concepts.
If you use a word in a pattern which may get remapped on input, the script compiler will issue a warning. Likely you should use the remapped name instead.
The following concepts are triggered by exactly repeating either the chatbot or oneself (to a repeat count of how often repeated). Repeats are within a recency window of about 20 volleys.

Words will have pos-tags attached, specififying both generic and specific tag attributes, eg., ~noun
, ~noun_singular
.

Auxilliary verbs are segmented into normal ones and special ones. Normal ones give their tense directly. Special ones give their root word. The tense of the be/have/do verbs can be had via ^properties()
and testing for verb tenses

In addition to normal generic kinds of pos tags, words which are serving a pos-tag role different from their putative word type are marked as members of the major tag they act as part of. E.g,
| description | |
|---|---|
~noun_gerund |
verb used as a ~noun |
~noun_infinitive |
verb used as a ~noun |
~noun_omitted_adjective |
an adjective used as a collective noun (eg the beautiful are kind) |
~adjectival_noun |
noun used as adjective like bank "bank teller" |
~adjective_participle |
verb participle used as an adjective |
For ~noun_gerund
in I like swimming the verb gerund swimming is treated as a noun (hence called noun-gerund) but retains verb sense when matching keywords tagged with part-of-speech (i.e., it would match swim~v
as well as swim~n
).
Additionally, there is
| description | |
|---|---|
~number |
is not a part of speech, but is comprise of ~noun_number (a normal number value like 17 or seventeen) |
~adjective_number |
also a normal numeral value and also ~placenumber ) like first. |
~integer |
|
~float |
|
~positiveinteger |
|
~negativeinteger |
|
~modelnumber |
not a true number, but a word with both alpha and numeric |
To can be a preposition or it can be special. When used in the infinitive phrase To go, it is marked ~to_infinitive
and is followed by ~noun_infinitive
.
| description | |
|---|---|
~verb_infinitive |
refers to a match on the infinitive form of the verb (I hear John sing or I will sing). |
~There_existential |
refers to the use of where not involving location, meaning the existence of, as in There is no future. |
~Particle |
refers to a preposition piece of a compound verb idiom which allows being separated from the verb. If you say I will call off the meeting, call_off is the composite verb and is a single token. But if you split it as in I will call the meeting off, then there are two tokens. The original form of the verb will be call and the canonical form of the verb will be call_off, while the free-standing off will be labeled ~particle . |
~verb_present |
will be used for normal present verbs not in third person singular like I walk and |
~verb_present_3ps |
will be used for things like he walks |
~possesive |
refers to ‘s and ‘ that indicate possession, while possessive pronouns get their own labeling ~pronoun_possessive . |
~pronoun_subject |
is a pronoun used as a subject (like he) |
~pronoun_object |
refers to objective form like him |

The system has some predefined variables which you can generally test and use but not normally assign to. These all begin with %
. Ones that are reasonable to set are written in bold underline. Boolean values are always 1

on returns. 1
or 0
if you are setting them.

You actually can assign to any of them. This will override them and make them return what you tell them to and is a particularly BAD thing to do if this is running on a server since it affects all users (unless you reset the variable at the end of the volley. Assigning a period to a variable resets it).
Typically one does this as a temporary assignment in a #!
comment line to set up conditions for testing using :verify
.
Making them return a new value is NOT the same thing as making the engine have a different value. Unless the variable is marked as settable, setting a value affects only the value returned by a future call to the system variable. It does not change engine values the variable is meant to reflect.
The system can do a number of standard processing on user input, including spell correction, proper-name merging, expanding contractions etc. This is managed by setting the user variable $cs_token
.
The default one that comes with Harry is:
$cs_token = #DO_INTERJECTION_SPLITTING |
#DO_SUBSTITUTE_SYSTEM |
#DO_NUMBER_MERGE |
#DO_PROPERNAME_MERGE |
#DO_SPELLCHECK |
#DO_PARSE
The #
signals a named constant from the dictionarySystem.h
file. One can set the following:
These enable various LIVEDATA files to perform substitutions on input:
| flag | description |
|---|---|
#DO_ESSENTIALS |
perform LIVEDATA/systemessentials which mostly strips off trailing punctuation and sets corresponding flags instead |
#DO_SUBSTITUTES |
perform LIVEDATA/substitutes |
#DO_CONTRACTIONS |
perform LIVEDATA/contractions , expanding contractions |
#DO_INTERJECTIONS |
perform LIVEDATA/interjections , changing phrases to interjections |
#DO_BRITISH |
perform LIVEDATA/british , respelling brit words to American |
#DO_SPELLING |
performs the LIVEDATA/spelling file (manual spell correction) |
#DO_TEXTING |
performs the LIVEDATA/texting file (expand texting notation) |
#DO_SUBSTITUTE_SYSTEM |
do all LIVEDATA file expansions |
#DO_INTERJECTION_SPLITTING |
break off leading interjections into own sentence |
#$DO_NUMBER_MERGE |
merge multiple word numbers into one (four and twenty) |
#$DO_PROPERNAME_MERGE |
merge multiple proper name into one (George Harrison) |
#DO_DATE_MERGE |
merge month day and/or year sequences (January 2, 1993) |
#JSON_DIRECT_FROM_OOB |
asking the tokenizer to directly process OOB data. See ^jsonparse in JSON manual. |
The contents of the files are pairs of tokens per line. Left is the word to replace and right is the replacement. When multiple words are involved, the left side uses underscores to represent this and the right side uses +
. If the right side is missing, it means just delete.
If any of the above items affect the input, they will be echoed as values into %tokenFlags
so you can detect they happened. The next changes do not echo into %tokenFlags and relate to grammar of input:
| flag | description |
|---|---|
DO_POSTAG |
allow pos-tagging (labels like ~noun ~verb become marked) |
DO_PARSE |
allow parser (labels for word roles like ~main_subject) |
DO_CONDITIONAL_POSTAG |
perform pos-tagging only if all words are known. Avoids wasting time on foreign sentences in particular |
NO_CONDITIONAL_IDIOM |
will not perform substitutions in the dictionary which are considered conditional idioms |
NO_ERASE |
where a substitution would delete a word entirely as junk, don't |
DO_SPLIT_UNDERSCORES |
happens after all other input tokenization and adjustments except number merge, and separates words that have been conjoined either because the dictionary has them (credit_card) or because they were merged by proper name merging, or by substitution. The result is only words without underscores (excluding number words like five_thousand_and_four |
MARK_LOWER |
if a word is considered a proper name in CS and is marked as an upper case word, this will force it to perform any markings for its lower case form as well. Sometimes users type stuff in upper case that really should be lower |
Normally the system tries to outguess the user, who cannot be trusted to use correct punctuation or casing or spelling. These block that:
| flag | description |
|---|---|
STRICT_CASING |
except for 1st word of a sentence, assume user uses correct casing on words |
NO_INFER_QUESTION |
the system will not try to set the QUESTIONMARK flag if the user didn't input a ? and the structure of the input looks like a question |
DO_SPELLCHECK |
perform internal spell checking |
ONLY_LOWERCASE |
force all input (except "I") to be lower case, refuse to recognize uppercase forms of anything |
NO_IMPERATIVE |
|
NO_WITHIN |
|
NO_SENTENCE_END |
Normally the tokenizer breaks apart some kinds of sentences into two. These prevent that:
| flag | description |
|---|---|
NO_COLON_END |
don't break apart a sentence after a colon |
NO_SEMICOLON_END |
don't break apart a sentence after a semi-colon |
UNTOUCHED_INPUT |
if set to this alone, will tokenize only on spaces, leaving everything but spacing untouched |
LEAVE_QUOTE |
if input is found withing " " it will become a single token exactly as it is seen. W/o Leave_Quote, it is converted into a word without quotes and using underscores instead of spaces. So "My Fair Lady" becomes My_Fair_Lady, which would match a movie title if you had one, unlike My Fair Lady becoming the resulting token and unrecognized |
Note
you can change $cs_token
on the fly and force input to be reanalyzed via ^retry(SENTENCE)
. I do this when I detect the user is trying to give his name, and many foreign names might be spell-corrected into something wrong and the user is unlikely to misspell his own name.
Just remember to reset $cs_token
back to normal after you are done. Here is one such way, assuming $stdtoken
is set to your normal tokenflags in your bot definition outputmacro:
#! my name is Rogr
s: (name is _*)
if ($cs_token == $stdtoken)
{
$cs_token = #DO_INTERJECTION_SPLITTING |
#DO_SUBSTITUTE_SYSTEM | #DO_NUMBER_MERGE |
#DO_PARSE
retry(SENTENCE)
}
_0 is the name.
$cs_token = $stdtoken
If you type my name is Rogr into a topic with this, the original input is spell-corrected to my name is Roger, but this will change the $cs_token
over to one without spell correction and redo the sentence, which will now come back with my name is Rogr and be echoed correctly, and $cs_token reset
.
That's assuming nothing else would run differently and trap the response elsewhere. If you were worried about that, it would be possible for the script to save where it is using ^getrule(tag)
and modify your control script to return immediate control to here after input processing if you had changed $cs_token
.
While in general, substitutions are defined in the LIVEDATA folder, you can define private substititions for your specific bot using the scripting language. You can say
replace: xxx yyyyy
which defines a substitution just like a livedata substitution file. It actually creates a substitution file called private0.txt
or private1.txt
in your TOPIC folder.
Even then, those substitutions will not be enacted unless you explicitly add to the $cs_token
value #DO_PRIVATE
, eg
$cs_token = #DO_INTERJECTION_SPLITTING |
#DO_SUBSTITUTE_SYSTEM |
#DO_NUMBER_MERGE |
#DO_PROPERNAME_MERGE |
#DO_SPELLCHECK |
#DO_PARSE |
#DO_PRIVATE
The left side of the substitution pair is case insensitive (matches either case on input) and can be placed in double-quotes (which converts spaces to underscores internally).
The right side of the substitution pair is case sensitive and can be placed in double-quotes (which converts spaces to plus signs internally).
Similarly while canonical values of words can be defined in LIVEDATA/SYSTEM/canonical.txt
, you can define private canonical values for your bots by using the scripting language. You can say:
canon: oh 0 faster fast
which defines new canonical values for things and creates a file canon0.txt
or canon1.txt
in your TOPIC folder.
If you want to set a canonical pair from a table during compilation, you can use a function to do the same thing (but only 1 pair at a time).
^canon(word canonicalform)
A special kind of private substitution (equally applicable in regular substitution files) is the numeric substitution.
replace: ?_km kilometers
The ?_ matches a digit number followed immediately by km, like 1.2km
and will separate the number and replace the units with the given replacement. The input can be singular or have an 's' like 10.5dollars
. And it can be with or without abbreviation periods, like 10kps
or 10k.p.s
The following variables can be defined in a script and the engine will react to their contents.
| interchange variable | description |
|---|---|
$cs_token |
described extensively above |
$cs_response |
controls automatic handling of outputs to user. By default it consists of $cs_response = #Response_upperstart | #response_removespacebeforecomma | #response_alterunderscores | #response_removetilde If you want none of theses, use $cs_response = 0 (all flags turned off). See ^print for explanation of flags. #response_noconvertspecial – leave escaped n r and t alone in output and ^log, #response_upperstart – makes the first letter of an output sentence capitalized, #Response_removespacebeforecomma – does the obvious, #Response_alterunderscores - converts single underscores to spaces and double underscores to singles (eg for a web url) |
$cs_jsontimeout |
seconds before JsonOpen declares a time out failure. If unspecified the default is 300 |
$cs_crashmsg |
in server mode, what to say if the server crashes and we return a message to the user. By default the message is Hey, sorry. I forgot what I was thinking about. |
$cs_abstract |
used with :abstract |
$cs_looplimit |
loop() defaults to 1000 iterations before stopping. You can change this default with this |
$cs_trace |
if this variable is defined, then whenever the user's volley is finished, the value of this variable is set to that of :trace and :trace is cleared to 0, but when the user is read back in, the :trace is set to this value. For a server, this means you can perform tracing on a user w/o making all user transactions dump trace data |
$cs_control_pre |
name of topic to run in gambit mode on pre-pass, set by author. Runs before any sentences of the input volley are analyzed. Good for setting up initial values |
$cs_usermessagelimit |
max number of message pairs (user input & bot output) saved in topic file |
$cs_externaltag |
name of a topic to use to replace existing internal English pos-parser. See bottom of ChatScript PosParser manual for details |
$cs_prepass |
name of a topic to run in responder mode on main volleys, which runs before $cs_control_main and after all of the above and pos-parsing is done. Used to amend preparation data coming from the engine. You can use it to add your own spin on input processing before going to your main control. I use it to, for example, label commands as questions, standardize sentence construction (like if you see me what will you think to assume you see me. What will you think?) |
$cs_control_main |
name of topic to run in responder mode on main volleys, set by author |
$cs_control_post |
name of topic to run in gambit mode on post-pass, set by author |
$botprompt |
message for console window to label bot output |
$userprompt |
message for console window to label user input line |
$cs_crashmsg |
message to use if a server crash occurs |
$cs_language |
if spanish, will adjust spell checking for spanish colloquial |
$cs_token |
bits controlling how the tokenizer works. By default when null, you get all bits assumed on. The possible values are in src/dictionarySystem.h (hunt for $token) and you put a # in front of them to generate that named numeric constant |
$cs_abstract |
topic used by :abstract to display facts if you want them displayed |
$cs_prepass |
topic used between parsing and running user control script. Useful to supplement parsing, setting the question value, and revising input idioms |
$cs_wildcardseparator |
when a match variable covers multiple words, what should separate them- by default it's a space, but underscore is handy too. Initial system character is space, creating fidelity with what was typed. Useful if _ can be recognized in input (web addresses). Changing to _ is consistent with multi-word representation and keyword recognition for concepts. CS automatically converts _ to space on output, so internal use of _ is normal |
$cs_userfactlimit |
how many of the most recent permanent facts created by the script in response to user inputs are kept for each user. Std default is 100 |
$cs_response |
controls some characteristics of how responses are formatted |
$cs_randIndex |
the random seed for this volley |
$cs_utcoffset |
if defined, then %time returns current utc time + timezone offset. The offset is usually a simple number, meaning hours, and can have + or – in front of it. It can also be a normal time reference like 02:30 which means plus 2 hours and 30 minutes beyond utc, or -01:30:20 which means 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 20 seconds before utc (as if anyone would use that). The following variables are generated by the system on behalf of scripts |
$$db_error |
error message from a postgres failure $$findtext_start - ^findtext return the end normally, this is where it puts the start |
$$tcpopen_error |
error message from a tcpopen error |
$$document |
name of the document being read in document mode |
$cs_randindex |
current value of the random generator value |
$cs_bot |
name of the bot currently in use |
$cs_login |
login name of the user |
$$csmatch_start |
start of found words from ^match |
$$csmatch_end |
end of found words from ^match |
$cs_fullfloat |
if defined, causes the system to generate full float 64-bit precision on outputs, otherwise you get 2 digit precision by default |
$cs_botid |
when non-zero creates facts and functions restricted by this bitmask so facts and functions created by other masks cannot be seen. allows you to separate facts and functions per bot in a multi-bot environment. During compilation if this is set by a bot: command, then functions created and facts created by tables will be restricted to that owner. |
$cs_numbers |
if defined, causes the system to output numbers in a different language style: french, indian. All other values are english. |
$cs_topicretrylimit |
if defined changes how many times you can pass back RETRY_TOPIC before it fails (current limit is 30) |
$$topic_retry_limit_exceeded |
set if topic retry limit is encountered |
$cs_topicretrylimit |
if defined changes how many times you can pass back RETRY_TOPIC before it fails (current limit is 30) |
$cs_saveusedJson |
if not null, the only JSON facts CS will write into the user's topic files that are referred to (directly or indirectly) from user variables being saved. (see below) |
$cs_proxycredentials |
See ^JSONOPEN in JSON manual |
$cs_proxyserver |
See ^JSONOPEN in JSON manual |
$cs_proxymethod |
See ^JSONOPEN in JSON manual |
$cs_saveusedJson
exists as a kind of garbage collection. Nowadays most facts will come from JSON data either from a website or created in script. But keeping on top of deleting obsolete JSON may be overlooked. When this variable is non-null, ChatScript will automatically destroy any JSON fact that cannot trace a JSON fact path back to some user variable. Variables that have as values the name of a JSON object or array automatically protect all JSON facts underneath. JSON references merely within some text string will not protect anything, nor will references from some other non-JSON fact.

Robbery suspect killed in Ashuganj ‘shootout’
by bdnews24.comA suspected robber has died in a so-called shootout with police in Brahmanbaria’s Ashuganj Upazila.
The incident took place in Jatrapur Chaporbari area of the Upazila around 1:15 am on Wednesday, according to Ashuganj Police OC Jabed Mahmud.
The dead man has been identified as 26-year-old Saddam Hossain. He had been implicated in a robbery case, police said.
Three others -- Akash Mia, 27, Hridoy Mia, 25, and Ashraful Islam, 25 -- were arrested by the police in connection with the incident. They are all members of a gang of robbers, according to police.
Officers from the district’s detective police, Ashuganj Police Station and Sadar Model Police Station surrounded Chaporbari area at night after being tipped off about the presence of robbers in the area, said OC Jabed.
“The bandits opened fire when the police arrived on the scene, forcing the law enforcers to retaliate. The bullet-ridden body of Saddam was found on the spot at the end of the gunfight. Police managed to nab Akash, Hridoy and Ashraful from the site.”
Four police officers were injured in the shooting, said OC Jabed.
Police recovered a pistol, an auto-rickshaw and a motorcycle from the spot.

Mississippi socialite released early after manslaughter conviction wants pardon
by Roslyn AndersonJACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Despite early release on a manslaughter conviction that killed two people in a fiery crash, a Jackson socialite wants a pardon.
Karen Collin, known in prominent circles as Karen Irby, is appealing to the governor to clear her name.
She was convicted in 2010 of two counts of manslaughter in the deaths of doctors Mark Pogue and Lisa Dedousis. She was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
According to investigators, Collins was speeding after drinking when the Mercedes she was driving crossed the median and caused the fatal collision.
Her husband, prominent businessman Stuart Irby, was a passenger. The two divorced while she was behind bars and he would commit suicide in January of 2012.
Collins was released from prison that same year.
Former Governor Haley Barbour commuted her sentence to three years house arrest and two years of Mississippi Department of Corrections supervision.
In October, Collins published a Clemency Application Notice that stated she is intending to apply for an executive pardon.
Her plea may be falling on deaf ears with the current governor.
“Don’t plan on issuing any pardons. None,” said Governor Phil Bryant. “It’s just my belief in not having a system where one person being elected should be able to erase violent crimes."
He continued, saying, “It doesn’t have anything to do with Governor Barbour or Governor Barnett or anyone else. I just don’t think that’s a system that we should use to expunge and do away with violent crimes that have occurred.”
Collins spent roughly two years in prison before being released.
We were unable to reach Collins’ attorney or the Pogue and Dedousis families for comment.

The SALTSampler package facilitates Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) sampling of random variables on a simplex. A Self-Adjusting Logit Transform (SALT) proposal is used so that sampling is still efficient even in difficult cases, such as those in high dimensions or with parameters that differ by orders of magnitude. Special care is also taken to maintain accuracy even when some coordinates approach 0 or 1 numerically. Diagnostic and graphic functions are included in the package, enabling easy assessment of the convergence and mixing of the chain within the constrained space.

Your snakelet gets the current request and response objects in the serve method, and you can do lots of stuff with them:
Scope: request
| Method | description |
|---|---|
| getOutput() | get the response output stream (socket/file). Notice that once you obtain the output stream, a number of methods will no longer work on the response object (more precisely: the methods that modify the HTTP headers that will be returned). So you have to take care of those first, before getting the output stream (try to call getOutput() as late as possible). The things you can no longer do after calling getOutput() include the following: setResponse, setHeader, setEncoding, setContentType, setContentDisposition, setContentLength, setCookie, delCookie. |
| setContentType(type) | set the content type (mime type) of the response (default is "text/html") |
| setContentDisposition(disposition) | set the content disposition (RFC 2183) of the response; you can control downloads with this. For example: setContentDisposition('attachment; filename="foobar.txt"') |
| setContentLength(len) | set the content length (number of bytes of the response data). This is useful if you know the exact size of your response in advance. Note: you cannot use this together with a custom content character encoding! If you are 100% certain that you are providing the correct length in bytes (after the character encoding has been applied!) you can give a second parameter, "force=True" to set the length even if a custom encoding has been set. Note that the server often determines the correct content-length by itself. Only in the case of snakelets it's left to you. |
| setEncoding(enc) | set character encoding of the response ('UTF-8' etc). You usually are required to set a specific character encoding if your page contains characters that are not in the plain ASCII character set. Notice that you must call getOutput() after this method! Set the encoding first, and get the output stream object after that. Also, you cannot use setContentLength() anymore. |
| guessMimeType(filename) | possible mime type for this file (string) |
| setHeader(header, value) | set a custom HTTP header |
| getHeader(header) | get a custom HTTP header previously set by setHeader , returns None if header wasn't set |
| setResponse(code, msg="output follows") | set the HTTP response code (int) and response message (string) |
| HTTPredirect(URL) | send a HTTP 302 client-side redirect to the specified URL The URL can be absolute ("http://.../...") or relative to this host ("/.../...") server-side redirection/inclusion is done on the Snakelet interface. |
| sendError(code, message=None) | send HTTP error with specified HTTP error code (int) and message (string) |
| getCookies() | return cookies set for sending (Cookie.SimpleCookie object) |
| setCookie(name, value, path=None, domain=None, maxAge=None, comment=None, secure=None) | Add a cookie that will be sent to the client. Be careful what you provide as path, when you don't specify it, a default path will be used, that can be quite different from what you expect (especially when you use internal page redirection). |
| delCookie(name, path=None, domain=None, comment=None, secure=None) | Make the client browser delete the specified cookie. Be careful what you provide as path, if it isn't exactly the same as when you originally set the cookie, it won't be deleted! |
| kill() | tries to abort the response connection. |

kpss
(x, regression='c', lags=None, store=False)[source]¶ Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin test for stationarity.
Computes the Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) test for the null hypothesis that x is level or trend stationary.
Parameters: x : array_like, 1d
Data series
regression : str{‘c’, ‘ct’}
Indicates the null hypothesis for the KPSS test * ‘c’ : The data is stationary around a constant (default) * ‘ct’ : The data is stationary around a trend
lags : int
Indicates the number of lags to be used. If None (default), lags is set to int(12 * (n / 100)**(1 / 4)), as outlined in Schwert (1989).
store : bool
If True, then a result instance is returned additionally to the KPSS statistic (default is False).
Returns: kpss_stat : float
The KPSS test statistic
p_value : float
The p-value of the test. The p-value is interpolated from Table 1 in Kwiatkowski et al. (1992), and a boundary point is returned if the test statistic is outside the table of critical values, that is, if the p-value is outside the interval (0.01, 0.1).
lags : int
The truncation lag parameter
crit : dict
The critical values at 10%, 5%, 2.5% and 1%. Based on Kwiatkowski et al. (1992).
resstore : (optional) instance of ResultStore
An instance of a dummy class with results attached as attributes
Notes
To estimate sigma^2 the Newey-West estimator is used. If lags is None, the truncation lag parameter is set to int(12 * (n / 100) ** (1 / 4)), as outlined in Schwert (1989). The p-values are interpolated from Table 1 of Kwiatkowski et al. (1992). If the computed statistic is outside the table of critical values, then a warning message is generated.
Missing values are not handled.

Cannabis |
(plant material) |
First of all, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one this has happened to.
I'd smoked cannabis off and on for years recreationally. It has never taken very much to satisfy me. A 10 dollar bag could easily last me 3 months. My favorite pastime was to 'light up' and watch silly science fiction movies. I always had a good time.
Then out of the blue, everything changed. I enjoyed a few hits with some friends and went home to watch movies. Within minutes I was overwhelmed with pure terror. I spent a good hour on the phone with my mom bawling hysterically. By the way, did I mention I was 30 at the time? I'd smoked since I was 16. I managed to conceal the fact I was stoned, just very upset. That experience was enough to scare me away for a few months.
A few months later I lit up with the same friends. Two hits. I felt the panic set in within 10 minutes. The only thing that kept me going was making them laugh as much as possible with my horrid impersonation of Biggie Smalls. Somehow I managed.
Six months later I enjoyed two hits with my roomate and his girlfriend. The panic slammed into me again. I felt as if my heart rate had broken 200 beats per minute. I felt cold, dislocated, and petrified. I was afraid to go to sleep thinking my heart or breathing would stop. Nothing happened of course, and my roommate and his girlfriend were very supportive and kind to me.
A month later I tried one in a very social setting. I could feel the panic rising but managed to keep myself distracted enough to maintain composure. How unenjoyable it is to go 'under the influence', and then not be able to wait for it to end. A week ago I did the tiniest hit you could imagine. Jerry Garcia would be laughing at me. Sure enough, here come the panics again but at an extremely subdued level.
Folks, I don't understand this at all. I have taken some extremely potent substances in my time and nothing has had the same devastating effect. I have no theories, ideas, or anything to give a remote hint. I've thought maybe it's a chemical change that happens when you grow older. Maybe it's something used in the cultivation of marijuana now. Maybe it's a potency issue.
I know quite a few people who've had to deal with this happening to them, and it's scared most of them permanently sober. I've even heard of people mixing tranquilizers like Xanax in with their cannabis experience, which seems kind of self-defeating as THC is supposed to RELAX you.
I sure hope someone has some ideas. I'm completely baffled and haven't smoked it since.

One of the great things about ROS is that since most tasks are done over the network through publisher/subscriber
communication (see chapter 4 of
this book to learn more)
many tasks can run on any system in the network. For instance, in the turtlebot examples almost all of the ROS nodes are running on an outside
computer instead of directly on the turtlebot. This provides convenience, ease of use, ease of debugging, and the ability to leverage immense
amounts of processing power on your ROS-enabled robot. It should be noted that, unlike in the image above, the ROS network is not a cloud, and
there is a
single master nodeFor ROS 1. This is not the case in ROS 2. You are likely using ROS 1. in your network and that device manages the ROS network, no magic or wizards involved.
For this to work, you need to have a desktop computer (or any computer really) set up
to work with the turtlebot. The basic criteria to do this are as follows:
- Set up a computer with Ubuntu Linux 16.04You can run other Linux
distributions, and in fact you will likely need to if you are not using ROS Kinetic. There is also a way to use Windows with ROS. I highly
recommend a local installation of Ubuntu 16.04 if you are using ROS Kinetic as it will be the easiest to set up and likely the
easiest to use. See the resources page for links to linux guides.
- Install ROS KineticAt the time of writing this,
Kinetic gives the most compatibility with the turtlebots on that computer
- Install Turtlebot-specific packages on that computer
- Make sure you are on the same network as the turtlebot
- Run the turtlebot from your computer
A comprehensive guide for setting up a workstation to work with the Turtlebot can be found
here. What follows is
a summary of that.
You can use the following script to install ROS Kinetic with relative ease:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/robotis_tools/master/install_ros_kinetic.sh && chmod 755 ./install_ros_kinetic.sh && bash ./install_ros_kinetic.sh
If that does not work, you can follow the manual installation steps found
here.
Next, install the turtlebot specific ROS packages:
$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-joy ros-kinetic-teleop-twist-joy ros-kinetic-teleop-twist-keyboard ros-kinetic-laser-proc ros-kinetic-rgbd-launch ros-kinetic-depthimage-to-laserscan ros-kinetic-rosserial-arduino ros-kinetic-rosserial-python ros-kinetic-rosserial-server ros-kinetic-rosserial-client ros-kinetic-rosserial-msgs ros-kinetic-amcl ros-kinetic-map-server ros-kinetic-move-base ros-kinetic-urdf ros-kinetic-xacro ros-kinetic-compressed-image-transport ros-kinetic-rqt-image-view ros-kinetic-gmapping ros-kinetic-navigation ros-kinetic-interactive-markers
$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src/
$ git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3_msgs.git
$ git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3.git
$ git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3_simulations.git
$ cd ~/catkin_ws && catkin_make
Now, the network needs to be set up. The basic topology of a ROS network consists of a single master
node and some number of other nodes on the network. The term node here refers to individual ROS
programs, and many nodes can run on a single physical machine or these nodes can be spread out across
many machines. The important point is that ROS needs a network and a master node to operate, even if
there is only one physical machine on that network. See chapter 4 of
this
book to learn more. In order for this to work, each physical machine
needs to know the
IP-addressInternet Protocol Address; A series of numbers like: <IP_ADDRESS> that identifies a computer on a network.
of itself and the IP-address of the ROS master node. It does not need to know the IP-addresses of any
other computers on the ROS network, if there are any, because the master node will facilitate
communication with those devices. To do this, ROS uses
environment variables
Variables shared accross the system; learn more here
called ROS_MASTER_URI and ROS_HOSTNAME. In linux, the syntax to set an environment variable is
Do NOT type this into your terminal!
$ export variable_name=value
but, if you did this manually, you would need to type it every time you opened a new terminal. To avoid
doing that, we will add the export commands to the end of the
.bashrc
A shell script which is run each time you open a new terminal; learn more here
file so that they are run automatically. When setting up your workstation, both the master and
hostname point to the same address, assuming you are running the ROS master from your workstation.
To check your machine's IP address, run:
$ ifconfig
There should be a line that starts with "inet addr:" followed by a number 192.168.10.XXX . Note that
your could have multiple IP-addresses. If your IP-address does not start with "192.168.10" you are
probably not on the lab's WiFi, and you will need to get on it before continuing. It should be called
Linksys08906{something} and the password is written on a sticky note on the router.
Once you have your IP-address, remember it (here is a convenient place to write it down):
Now edit your .bashrc file by typing:
$ nano ~/.bashrc
If there are already export lines for master and hostname, modify them, if not add them, so that there
are three lines in your .bashr file that look like:
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://{YOUR_IP_HERE}:11311
export ROS_HOSTNAME={YOUR_IP_HERE}
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=burger
This line tells ROS that you are using the Turtlebot3 Burger model, and is necessary for running simulations
After editing your .bashrc file, you need to source it for changes to take effect (or you could close
and re-open all your terminals, but sourcing is faster). You can do this by typing:
$ source ~/.bashrc
At this point, your computer should be set up to work with the turtlebots. Assuming you have at least
one turtlebot set up as well, you can head to the
Quickstart
page to test your setup. If you have problems, please consult the
Troubleshooting
page or use the questions box on the
Resources page. Getting the workstation
setup right was one of the most frustrating parts when I first tried it, so hopefully this helped.


This dialog makes it straightforward to filter the data in your project,
e.g., to find proteins with a given post-translational modification, or to find
all peptides with more than a certain number of spectra.
You can filter the data at three levels: (i) proteins, (ii) peptides or (iii) PSMs.
When editing one of the filtering fields the table at the bottom will display
the proteins, peptides or PSMs matching the given filter. Note that selecting
a row in this table will select the given proteins, peptides or PSMs in the
currently selected PeptideShaker tab.
To save a given filter click the Save button in the lower right corner.
Note that Identifier field for proteins and the Protein and Sequence fields for the
peptides are case sensitive, i.e., searching for 'Albumin' and 'albumin' is not the same thing.
Also note that both fields support regular expression search. For more details on regular
expressions in Java see Java Regular Expressions.
You can type in match identifiers (protein accession, peptide sequence or spectrum key) to be specifically selected/excluded by the filter. For example, manually starring a match in a table will result in creating such a specific filter named "Manual selection".
In some cases one just wants to locate a specific protein, peptide or spectrum.
For this it is often simpler to use the Find feature found in the upper
right corner of PeptideShaker.
Inserting text in this field will automatically make the selection jump to the
given protein, peptide or spectrum.

Note that this is a fairly CPU intensive routine. On slow machines, it can take up to a second or more when blurAmount is large. In such cases, it is better to precompute the pictures before starting the program. The second example shows this being done.
|
|
|
View.Set ("graphics:270;120,nobuttonbar")
% Create the original picture
var f := Font.New ("serif:60:bold,italic,noantialias")
Font.Draw ("Turing", 10, 30, f, red)
Draw.FillStar (70, 80, 90, 100, brightgreen)
Draw.FillBox (240, 5, 270, 35, brightblue)
var oldPic : int
oldPic := Pic.New (0, 0, maxx, maxy)
loop
var newPic : int
% Create the new picture by blurring the old picture
newPic := Pic.Blur (oldPic, 10)
% Free the old picture so we don't run out of memory
Pic.Free (oldPic)
Pic.Draw (newPic, 0, 0, picCopy)
delay (300)
oldPic := newPic
end loop
This means that you can only call the function by calling Pic.Blur, not by calling Blur.

Getting Started
Here you will find both basic and advanced tutorials to help you get started using Piccolo2D. All tutorials provide examples in both Java and C#. This section assumes you have read Piccolo2D Patterns and have a basic understanding of the concepts presented there.Adding Special Effects
This tutorial will show you how to use activities to control animation and other scheduled behaviors. It will cover how to extend existing activities, how to use PNode's animation methods, how to set an activity's delegate, and how to schedule activities to occur in a specific sequence.
Download the complete code sample in Java or
C#.
1. Setup
We need to create a window with a Piccolo2D canvas, so that we can add the interface components to the canvas.
-
First you will need to reference the appropriate packages/namespaces. Add the following lines to the top of your code file:
import edu.umd.cs.piccolo.*; import edu.umd.cs.piccolo.activities.*; import edu.umd.cs.piccolo.nodes.*; import edu.umd.cs.piccolox.*;
using UMD.HCIL.Piccolo; using UMD.HCIL.Piccolo.Activities; using UMD.HCIL.Piccolo.Nodes; using UMD.HCIL.Piccolo.Util; using UMD.HCIL.PiccoloX;
The first line adds the base Piccolo2D types, such as
PNode
. The second line includes the activity classes. The third line includes the default node types that Piccolo2D provides, all of which extendPNode
. The fourth line (for the C# sample) includes several utility classes. And the last line includes various "extras," such asPForm
in .NET andPFrame
in Java, which will be used below. -
Next we will extend the
PForm
class in .NET or thePFrame
class in Java. This is a convenience class that adds aPCanvas
to a window. When you extend this class, you should NOT add your Piccolo2D code to the constructor. Instead, you should override theinitialize
method and add all of your Piccolo2D code there. See the FAQ for more details.public class EffectsFrame extends PFrame { public void initialize() { //Add Piccolo2D code here. } }
public class EffectsForm : PForm { public override void Initialize() { //Add Piccolo2D code here. } }
2. Create the Target for our Activities
An activity defines a time-dependent behavior. You can perform any operation you want each time the activity steps. Typically, you will modify a node in some way. For example, to animate a node, you would move the node each time the activity steps. Here we will define a new node that will be the target of our activities.
-
We will create a new node and position it at the bottom right corner of the screen. Add the following lines of code to the
initialize
method.// Create a new node that we will apply different activities to, and // place that node at location 200, 200. final PNode aNode = PPath.createRectangle(0, 0, 100, 80); PLayer layer = getCanvas().getLayer(); layer.addChild(aNode); aNode.setOffset(200, 200);
// Create a new node that we will apply different activities to, and // place that node at location 200, 200. aNode = PPath.CreateRectangle(0, 0, 100, 80); PLayer layer = Canvas.Layer; layer.AddChild(aNode); aNode.SetOffset(Canvas.Width-aNode.Width, Canvas.Height-aNode.Height);
3. Extend PActivity
Here we will explore how to create a new activity to act on our node by extending one of the activity classes.
-
First, we will design a new flash activity that will toggle our node's color between red and green continuously without terminating. To do this, we will extend
PActivity
, the base activity type. Add the following internal class beneath theinitialize
method.PActivity flash = new PActivity(-1, 500, currentTime + 5000) { boolean fRed = true; protected void activityStep(long elapsedTime) { super.activityStep(elapsedTime); // Toggle the target node's brush color between red and green // each time the activity steps. if (fRed) { aNode.setPaint(Color.red); } else { aNode.setPaint(Color.green); } fRed = !fRed; } };
class Flash : PActivity { bool fRed; PNode target; public Flash(PNode target, long aDuration, long aStepInterval, long aStartTime) : base(aDuration, aStepInterval, aStartTime) { this.target = target; } protected override void OnActivityStep(long elapsedTime) { base.OnActivityStep (elapsedTime); // Toggle the target node's brush color between red and green // each time the activity steps. if (fRed) { target.Brush = Brushes.Red; } else { target.Brush = Brushes.Green; } fRed = !fRed; } }
PActivity
is the top-level activity class that all activities descend from. It will run for a predetermined time, specified by its duration, and it will step a number of times, specified by its step interval.PActivity
provides three methods that you can override to be notified when an activity starts, each time it steps, and when it finishes. In Piccolo2D.NET these methods areOnActivityStarted()
,OnActivityStep()
, andOnActivityFinished()
. In Piccolo2D.Java, they areactivityStarted()
,activityStep()
, andactivityFinished()
. By default, nothing will happen when a PActivity steps. Typically, you will extend PActivity and overrideactivityStep()
orOnActivityStep()
so that you can perform some operation for each step of the activity.In the above example, we create a new constructor that will take in the node whose fill color we wish to flash. The constructor also takes in the duration, step interval and start time for the activity. We pass these millisecond values to the base activity.
We also override the
activityStep()
method in java and theOnActiviytStep()
method in .NET. For each step of the interval we toggle our target node's color between red and green. -
Next, we will create a new flash activity and schedule it with the root. Add the following lines of code to the
initialize
method.// Store the current time in milliseconds for use below. long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); // Create a new custom "flash" activity. This activity will start running in // five seconds, and while it runs it will flash aNode's paint between // red and green every half second. PActivity flash = new PActivity(-1, 500, currentTime + 5000) { /* see code above */ }); // Schedule the activity. getCanvas().getRoot().addActivity(flash);
// The animate activities will start immediately (in the next call to // PRoot.processInputs) by default. Here we set their start times (in PRoot // global time) so that they start when the previous one has finished. a1.StartTime = currentTime; a2.StartAfter(a1); a3.StartAfter(a2);
First, we store the current time in milliseconds, so that we can use it with our activities below.
Next, we create a flash activity, passing it the node we created above as the target. We specify a duration of -1, which will cause the activity to run continuously, and a step interval of 500ms. Finally, we set the start time to be
currentTime
+ 5000ms, indicating that we want our activity to start stepping five seconds from now.Finally, we schedule the activity with the root. An activity will not run until it has been scheduled to do so.
Note, for clarity, this example uses a full static class to define the Flash activity. But, Piccolo2D does provide a few shortcuts. In Piccolo2D.Java, you could use an anonymous inner class to inline the Flash activity. The .NET Framework does not support anonymous inner classes. However, with Piccolo2D.NET, you could still instantiate a
PActivity
and set itsActivityStepped
delegate, rather than creating a new class. You would then move the code in theOnActivityStep()
method to your new delegate method. For an example of how to define a flash activity in this way, see the Activities section of the patterns document. Activity delegates will be described in detail later.
4. Use PNode's Animation Methods
Now, let's add some animation. It turns out we don't have to create
any activities to do this. PNode provides several convenience methods that will animate a
node in various ways. Internally, these methods will of course create activities.
Note, if you want to create animation activities from scratch, you should extend
PInterpolatingActivity
.
-
We will use
PNode's
AnimateToPositionScaleRotation()
method to move the node across the screen, rotating it and scaling it along the way. Add the following lines of code to theinitialize
method.// Create three activities that animate the node's position. Since our node // already descends from the root node the animate methods will automatically // schedule these activities for us. PActivity a1 = aNode.animateToPositionScaleRotation(0, 0, 0.5, 0, 5000); PActivity a2 = aNode.animateToPositionScaleRotation(100, 0, 1.5, Math.toRadians(110), 5000); PActivity a3 = aNode.animateToPositionScaleRotation(200, 100, 1, 0, 5000);
// Create three activities that animate the node's position. Since our node // already descends from the root node the animate methods will automatically // schedule these activities for us. PActivity a1 = aNode.AnimateToPositionScaleRotation(0f, 0f, 0.5f, 0f, 5000); PActivity a2 = aNode.AnimateToPositionScaleRotation(100f, 0f, 1.5f, 110f, 5000); PActivity a3 = aNode.AnimateToPositionScaleRotation(200f, 100f, 1f, 0f, 5000);
The
AnimateToPositionScaleRotation()
method will animate a node from its current transform to a new transform specified by the given position, scale and rotation. The first two arguments to this method specify the new position. The third argument specifies the new scale. The fourth argument specifies the new rotation. And, the final argument specifies the duration of the animation. This method will also return the newly scheduled activity.First, we will animate the node to the position (0, 0) and scale it down to .5. We will not rotate the node at all. This animation will occur over a period of five seconds.
Next, we will animate the node to the position (100, 0), scale it up to 1.5, and rotate it 110 degrees. This animation will occur over a period of five seconds.
Finally, we will animate the node to the position (200, 100), scale it back down to its natural size, and rotate it back to 0 degrees. This animation will occur over a period of five seconds.
-
Now, we need to specify the order in which these animations will occur. Add the following lines of code to the
initialize
method.// The animate activities will start immediately (in the next call to // PRoot.processInputs) by default. Here we set their start times (in PRoot // global time) so that they start when the previous one has finished. a1.setStartTime(currentTime); a2.startAfter(a1); a3.startAfter(a2);
// The animate activities will start immediately (in the next call to // PRoot.processInputs) by default. Here we set their start times (in PRoot // global time) so that they start when the previous one has finished. a1.StartTime = currentTime; a2.StartAfter(a1); a3.StartAfter(a2);
PNode's
animation methods will always schedule the activities they create to start running immediately. We don't want these activities to run at the same time, since they would conflict with each other. So, we need to specify when they should occur.We set the first activity's start time to be
currentTime
. We usePActivity's
StartAfter()
method to specify that the second activity should start after the first one and that the third activity should start after the second one. We could have also achieved the same effect by setting the start time on all three activities. Since our flash activity starts five seconds fromcurrentTime
, it should begin as soon as the first activity ends.
5. Set the Activity Delegate
Sometimes you will want to be notified when an Activity goes through different states, such as starting and stopping. Of course, you could extend PActivity and override the appropriate methods to be notified of these state changes, as we did with the flash activity above. But, what if you want to keep track of an activity that has already been defined elsewhere. For example what if you want something to happen at the end of an activity that was created using one of PNode's animate methods. In this situation you should use the activity delegate. Below we will use the activity delegate to get notified when an activity starts and stops.
-
We will print out a message when our first animation activity starts and stops. Add the following lines of code to the project. The java snippet should be added directly to the
initialize
method. The .NET snippet should be added beneathinitialize
.a1.setDelegate(new PActivity.PActivityDelegate() { public void activityStarted(PActivity activity) { System.out.println("a1 started"); } public void activityStepped(PActivity activity) {} public void activityFinished(PActivity activity) { System.out.println("a1 finished"); } });
// This method will be called when a1 starts. public void a1ActivityStarted(PActivity activity) { System.Console.WriteLine("a1 started"); } // This method will be called when a1 finishes. public void a1ActivityFinished(PActivity activity) { System.Console.WriteLine("a1 finished"); }
The Java version of this snippet implements the PActivityDelegate interface, which includes three methods (
activityStarted()
,activityStepped()
andactivityFinished()
). TheactivityStepped()
method is simply left empty, since we are not interested in doing anything when the activity steps.The C# version could have been written the same way. But, since .NET has language support for delegates, Piccolo2D.NET provides a separate delegate for each of these methods, allowing you to set them individually. That way you don't have to implement the whole interface if you don't need to. In this case, we provide delegate methods that will get called when the activity starts and stops.
In both versions, when the activity starts, we print out a message that says "a1 started" and when it ends, we print a message that says "a1 finished".
-
Now that we have implemented the activity delegate methods we need to register them with the activity. Add the following lines of code to the
initialize
method.// We can use the delegate methods to learn about and act on the different // states an activity goes through, such as when it starts and stops. The Java version defines and attaches the delegate using an anonymous class. See previous code sample.
// We can use the delegate methods to learn about and act on the different // states an activity goes through, such as when it starts and stops. a1.ActivityStarted = new ActivityStartedDelegate(a1ActivityStarted); a1.ActivityFinished = new ActivityFinishedDelegate(a1ActivityFinished);
In the Java version, we set the activity delegate to our implementation of
PActivityDelegate
. In the C# version, we set each of the delegate methods individually.

We invited you to celebrate our wedding
Born in Gresik, a software engineer, a left brain user, an introvert, a computer geek.

Wedding ceremony will be held at Akasia Ballroom fl. 5, Hotel Savana Malang, wedding ceremony is where we pronounce our sacred vows, attended by the big family of both and also some of our friends.
Still in the same place as wedding ceremony, wedding reception is a party usually held after the completion of a marriage ceremony as hospitality for those who have attended the wedding.
A long distance relationship since 6 years ago!
They were introduced through a mutual friend, they spent 3 months chatting online before they met in person.
He decided to meet her mother and introduced himself, she remember he's being incredibly nervous, his voice was really deep, and he had smile that told her everything's gonna be okay.
Long distance relationships are hard, but they're really faithful and persistent. If you can love, trust, respect, and support each other from a distance then you'll be unbreakable once you're physically together.
And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
( QS. Ar-Rum 21 )
