In many projects, it is necessary to override specific flex behavior on items within the flex container. For example, you may wish to adjust the order in the flex container, or change the alignment behavior of just one item. The options below provide may classes prefixed with .flex-item
to provide this item-specific support.
.flex-item-align-
)
The .flex-item-align-
overrides the flex container's align-items property for a specific item. It has the same possible values as the .flex-align-items
property.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
.flex-item-align-start
|
Item is positioned along top or beginning of the flex container. |
.flex-item-align-end
|
Item is position at the bottom or end of the flex container. |
.flex-item-align-center
|
Item is centered in the flex container. |
.flex-item-align-baseline
|
Item is aligned with the baseline of the flex container. |
.flex-item-align-stretch
|
Item is stretched to fill the flex container. |

.flex-item-order-*
)
By default, flex items are laid out in the order they appear in the source code. The .flex-item-order-*
property specifies the order of a flexible item relative to the rest of the flexible items inside the same container. The *
suffix will accept any value between -100
and 100
.

.flex-item-grow-*
)
The class .flex-item-grow-*
specifies the proportion you wish the item to grow relative to other items when there is more remaining space in the flex container than the width of the items inside. If other items also have flex grow defined, the proportion will be calculated across all defined flex grow values. For example if there are two objects in your flex container, and the first object has class .flex-item-grow-2
, then this object will increase it's size twice that of it's sibling. Likewise, if the second object has class .flex-item-grow-4
, then the first object will increase it's size at 50% (or 2/4ths) that of it's sibling.
By default the flex grow property is 0
. The *
suffix in .flex-item-grow-*
provided by CNVS will accept any value between 0
and 10
.

 2

.flex-item-shrink-*
)
The class .flex-item-shrink-*
specifies the proportion you wish the item to shrink relative to other items when there is less available space in the flex container than the width of the items inside. If other items also have flex shrink defined, the proportion items shrinks will be calculated across all defined flex shrink values. For example if there are two objects in your flex container, and the first object has class .flex-item-shrink-2
, then this object will decrease it's size twice that of it's sibling. Likewise, if the second object has class .flex-item-shrink-4
, then the first object will decrease it's size at 50% (or 2/4ths) that of it's sibling.
By default the flex shrink property is 0
. The *
suffix in .flex-item-shrink-*
provided by CNVS will accept any value between 0
and 10
.

 1

 2

.flex-item-basis-
)
Flex basis defines the default size of an element before any remaining space is distributed between the items. Flex basis accepts the same values as the width and height property (e.g. 40%, 30px, etc...), plus keywords auto
and content
. CNVS provides classes that allow you to define the auto
and content
keyword properties for an item. However, if you wish to use a specific value, this should be defined in your project-specific styles.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
.flex-item-basis-auto
|
Remaining space is distributed based on its flex-grow value.
|
.flex-item-basis-content
|
Remaining space is distributed based on the item's content. |
.flex-item-basis-none
|
Remaining space is not factored in. |

The pangs of your sadness will pass as your senses will rise
For the flowers of the city, though breath-like, get death-like at times
And there's no use in trying to deal with the dying, though I cannot explain that in lines.

Your magnetic movement still captures the minutes I'm in.
But it grieves my heart, love, to see you trying to be a part of a world that just don't exist.

I can tell you are torn between staying and returning on back to the South.
You've been fooled into thinking that the finishing end is at hand.

I've heard you say many times that you're better than no one and no one is better than you.
If you really believe that, you know you got nothing to win and nothing to lose.
From fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem,
That hype you and type you, making you feel that you must be exactly like them.
I'd forever talk to you, but soon my words, they would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart I know there's no help I can bring.
Everything passes, everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.
And someday maybe – who knows, baby? – I'll come and be crying to you.


Timelines
This is a template article demonstrating how to turn a standard CoreMedia article into a timeline.
If you want to use this template:
- Open it in CoreMedia Explorer
- Copy and paste it into your work folder
It's worth noting as you begin the process of creating a timeline that you will need a specific date for each entry in your timeline, in order for this template to work.
Another thing worth noting here: any text above the first Heading 1 in your article will not be included in the timeline. It will appear above the timeline navigation widget.
Timeline sections
January 1, 2000
Timeline sections are delimited by Heading 1 sub-headings within the article which should be a brief headline description of what happened at that point in the timeline.
At some point before the next Heading 1 there should be a Heading 2 which specifies the date at which the timeline event occurs. Ideally, this Heading 2 would appear directly below the Heading 1.
Date formats
January 1, 2008
Quite a few different date formats are accepted, the key requirement being that they must be unambiguous. For example "10 January, 2008" is unambiguous whereas "10/1/2008" is ambiguous (this could be 10 Jan or 1 Oct depending on where you are in the world) and may not be the expected date for all users.
Some example date formats that definitely will work are:
- January 10, 2008
- 10 January, 2008
- 10 January 2008
- Thursday January 10th 2008
- Jan 10th 2008
Not all formats you might expect to work will work (e.g. 10th January 2008) so if you're using date formats different from the list above, ensure everything is in order before publishing.
At this point, inexact dates are not supported. For example "January 2008" or "Late March 2015" will not work as they don't contain enough information to construct a specific date.
Years should always be four digits.
Please keep in mind: a single timeline should use one standard date format, even though the timeline tool itself supports different formats. The ABC News style is "January 10, 2008", so this should be your go-to format.
Times
1pm January 1, 2015
Date formats can include the time of day if this level of precision is important. Supported formats:
- 1pm
- 1:30pm
- 1:30:45pm
- 1:30
For times with an hour less than or equal to 12 but without an 'am' or 'pm' designator 'am' will be assumed.
Relative dates
February 2
It's possible to use dates without a year. When this is the case, the year is assumed to be the same as the date of the article. So this section will appear on the timeline at February 2nd on whatever the current year is (since this article is-or should be-unpublished).
Other content
March 1, 2015
There isn't any reason you can't use all the other types of content you'd ordinarily embed in an article like images, quotes, teasers, etc.
However, be careful with left and right embedded items as they may cause layout issues depending on the length of the timeline section compared to the height of the item. Make sure everything looks ship shape in preview before publishing.
What if I'm having trouble finding specific dates?
July 24, 2015
It is usually possible to find a specific date related to an event, even if you need to narrow the focus a little and choose a key date from within a wider timeframe. You can then write the wider timeframe into the accompanying text entry.
For example, instead of:
1939-1945
World War II
World War II was a global war that involved the vast majority of the world’s nations. The war began after Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, prompting France and the United Kingdom to declare war on Germany.
You could use…
September 1, 1939
World War II begins
Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, prompting France and the United Kingdom to declare war on Germany, events that led to a global conflict running until 1945 and involving the vast majority of the world’s nations.
Future dates
March 1, 2030
Finally, there isn't any reason you can't specify future dates.
After the timeline
If for any reason you need to add content below the timeline in your story, you need to insert a paragraph containing only '#endtimeline'. Anything after that will be outside the timeline.

Hack 67 Automate Security Patches
Keep up-to-date with security patches. We all know that keeping up-to-date with security patches is important. The trick is coming up with a workable plan that ensures you're aware of new patches as they're released, as well as the steps required to apply those patches correctly. Michael Vince created quickpatch to assist in this process. It allows you to automate the portions of the patching process you'd like to automate and manually perform the steps you prefer to do yourself. 6.15.1 Preparing the Scriptquickpatch requires a few dependencies: perl, cvsup, and wget. Use which to determine if you already have these installed on your system: % which perl cvsup wget /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/cvsup wget: Command not found. Install any missing dependencies via the appropriate port (/usr/ports/lang/perl5, /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui, and /usr/ports/ftp/wget, respectively). Once you have the dependencies, download the script from http://roq.com/projects/quickpatch and untar it: % tar xzvf quickpatch.tar.gz This will produce an executable Perl script named quickpatch.pl. Open this script in your favorite editor and review the first two screens of comments, up to the #Stuff you probably don't want to change line. Make sure that the $release line matches the tag you're using in your cvs-supfile [Hack #80] : # The release plus security patches branch for FreeBSD that you are # following in cvsup. # It should always be a long the lines of RELENG_X_X , example RELENG_4_9 $release='RELENG_4_9'; The next few paths are fine as they are, unless you have a particular reason to change them: # Ftp server mirror from where to fetch FreeBSD security advisories $ftpserver="ftp.freebsd.org"; # Path to store patcher program files $patchdir="/usr/src/"; # Path to store FreeBSD security advisories $advdir="/var/db/advisories/"; $advdirtmp="$advdir"."tmp/"; If you're planning on applying the patches manually and, when required, rebuilding your kernel yourself, leave the next section as is. If you're brave enough to automate the works, make sure that the following paths accurately reflect your kernel configuration file and build directories: # Path to your kernel rebuild script for source patches that require kernel #rebuild $kernelbuild="/usr/src/buildkernel"; #$kernelbuild="cd /usr/src ; make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC && make #installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC ; reboot"; # Path to your system recompile scipt for patches that require full # operating system recompile $buildworld="/usr/src/buildworld"; #$buildworld="cd /usr/src/ ; make buildworld && make installworld ; reboot"; #Run patch command after creation, default no $runpatchfile="0"; # Minimum advisory age in hours. This is to make sure you don't patch # before your local cvsup server has had a # chance to recieve the source change update to your branch, in hours $advisory_age="24"; Review the email accounts so the appropriate account receives notifications: # Notify email accounts, eg<EMAIL_ADDRESS>root@localhost); @emails = qw(root); 6.15.2 Running the HackRun the script without any arguments to see the available options: # /.quickpatch.pl # Directory /var/db/advisories/ does not exist, creating # Directory /var/db/advisories/tmp/ does not exist, creating Quickpatch - Easy source based security update system "./quickpatch.pl updateadv" to download / update advisories db "./quickpatch.pl patch" or "./quickpatch.pl patch > big_patch_file" to create patch files "./quickpatch.pl notify" does not do anything but email you commands of what it would do "./quickpatch.pl pgpcheck" to PGP check advisories Before applying any patches, it needs to know which patches exist. Start by downloading the advisories: # ./quickpatch.pl updateadv This will connect to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories and download all of the advisories to /var/db/advisories. The first time you use this command, it will take a while. However, once you have a copy of the advisories, it takes only a second or so to compare your copies with the FTP site and, if necessary, download any new advisories. After downloading the advisories, see if your system needs patching: # ./quickpatch.pl notify # If the system is fully patched, you'll receive your prompt back. However, if the system is behind in patches, you'll see output similar to this: # ./quickpatch.pl notify ###################################################################### ####### FreeBSD-SA-04%3A02.shmat.asc ####### Stored in file /var/db/advisories/tmp/FreeBSD-SA-04%3A02.shmat ####### Topic: shmat reference counting bug ####### Hostname: genisis - 20/2/2004 11:57:30 ####### Date Corrected: 2004-02-04 18:01:10 ####### Hours past since corrected: 382 ####### Patch Commands cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch ### c) Recompile your kernel as described in <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the system. /usr/src/buildkernel ## Emailed root It looks like this system needs to be patched against the "schmat reference counting bug." While running in notify mode, quickpatch emails this information to the configured address but neither creates nor installs the patch. To create the patch, use: # ./quickpatch.pl patch ######################################################### ####### FreeBSD-SA-04%3A02.shmat.asc ####### Stored in file /usr/src/FreeBSD-SA-04%3A02.shmat ####### Topic: shmat reference counting bug ####### Hostname: genisis - 21/2/2004 10:41:54 ####### Date Corrected: 2004-02-04 18:01:10 ####### Hours past since corrected: 405 ####### Patch Commands cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch ### c) Recompile your kernel as described in #<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the #system. /usr/src/buildkernel # file /usr/src/FreeBSD-SA-04%3A02.shmat /usr/src/FreeBSD-SA-04%3A02.shmat: Bourne shell script text executable This mode creates the patch as a Bourne script and stores it in /usr/src. However, it is up to you to apply the patch manually. This may suit your purposes if you intend to review the patch and read any notes or caveats associated with the actual advisory. 6.15.3 Automating the ProcessOne of the advantages of having a script is that you can schedule its execution with cron. Here is an example of a typical cron configuration for quickpatch.pl; modify to suit your own purposes. Remember to create your logging directories and touch your log files before the first run. # Every Mon, Wed, and Fri at 3:05 do an advisory check and download any # newly released security advisories 5 3 * * 1,3,5 root /etc/scripts/quickpatch.pl updateadv > \ /var/log/quickpatch/update.log 2>1 # 20 minutes later, check to see if any new advisories are ready for use # and email the patch commands to the configured email address 25 3 * * 1,3,5 root /etc/scripts/quickpatch.pl notify >> \ /var/log/quickpatch/notify.log 2>&1 # 24 hours later patch mode is run which will run the patch commands if # no one has decided to interfere. 25 3 * * 2,4,6 root /etc/scripts/quickpatch.pl patch >> \ /var/log/quickpatch/patch.log 2>&1 6.15.4 See Also

Every example program so far has consisted only of
a sequence of routines, each within beginning and end markers [
and ]
. Such routines have no way of communicating with each
other, and therefore of sharing information with each other, except by
calling each other back and forth. This arrangement is not really suited
to a large program whose task may be to simulate something complicated,
such as the world of an adventure game: instead, some central registry
of information is needed, to which all routines can have access.
In the author's game ‘Curses’, centrally-held
information ranges from the current score, held in a single variable
called score
, to Madame Sosostris's tarot pack, which
uses an array of variables representing the cards on the pack, to a
slide-projector held as an “object”: a bundle of variables
and routines encoding the relevant rules of the game, such as that
the whitewashed wall is only lit up when the slide projector is
switched on.
Every Inform source program is a list of constructions, made using commands called “directives”. These are quite different from the statements inside routines, because directives create something at compilation time, whereas statements are only instructions for the interpreter to follow later, when the story file is being played.
In all there are 38 Inform directives, but most of
them are seldom used, or else are just conveniences to help you organise
your source code: for instance Include
means “now
include another whole file of source code here”, and there
are directives for “if I've set some constant at the start of
the code, then don't compile this next bit” and so on. The 10
directives that matter are the ones creating data structures, and
here they are:
[ Array Attribute Class Constant Extend Global Object Property Verb
The directive written [
, meaning
“construct a routine containing the following statements,
up to the next ]
”, was the subject of
§1. The four directives to do
with objects, Attribute
, Class
,
Object
and Property
, will be the subject of
§3. The two directives to do with laying
out grammar, Verb
and Extend
, are intimately
tied up with the needs of adventure games using the Inform library,
and are useless for any other purpose, so these are left until
§30. That leaves just Array
,
Constant
and Global
.
The simplest construction you can make is of
a Constant
. The following program, an unsatisfying
game of chance, shows a typical usage:
Constant MAXIMUM_SCORE = 100; [ Main; print "You have scored ", random(MAXIMUM_SCORE), " points out of ", MAXIMUM_SCORE, ".^"; ];
The maximum score value is used twice in the routine
Main
. The resulting story file is exactly the same as it
would have been if the constant definition were not present, and
MAXIMUM_SCORE
were replaced by 100 in both places
where it occurs. But the advantage of using Constant
is
that it makes it possible to change this value from 100 to, say, 50
with only a single change to the source code, and it makes the source
code more legible.
People often write the names of constants in full
capitals, but this is not compulsory. Another convention is that the
=
sign, which is optional, is often left out if the
value is a piece of text rather than a number. If no value is specified
for a constant, as in the line
Constant BETA_TEST_VERSION;
then the constant is created with value 0.
A constant can be used from anywhere in the source code after the line on which it is declared. Its value cannot be altered.
The variables in §1 were all “local variables”, each owned privately by its own routine, inaccessible to the rest of the program and destroyed as soon as the routine stops. A “global variable” is permanent and its value can be used or altered from every routine.
The directive for declaring a global variable is
Global
. For example:
Global score = 36;
This creates a variable called score
, which
at the start of the program has the value 36. (If no initial value
is given, it starts with the value 0.)
A global variable can be altered or used from anywhere in the source code after the line on which it is declared.
An “array” is an indexed collection of
variables, holding a set of numbers organised into a sequence. To
see why this useful, suppose that a pack of cards is to be simulated.
You could define 52 different variables with Global
, with
names like Ace_of_Hearts
, to hold the position of each
card in the pack: but then it would be very tiresome to write a routine
to shuffle them around.
Instead, you can declare an array:
Array pack_of_cards --> 52;
which creates a stock of 52 variables, called the “entries” of the array, and referred to in the source code as
pack_of_cards-->0 pack_of_cards-->1 ... pack_of_cards-->51
and the point of this is that you can read or alter
the variable for card number i
by calling it
pack_of_cards-->i
.
Here is an example program, in full, for shuffling the pack:
Constant SHUFFLES = 100; Array pack_of_cards --> 52; [ ExchangeTwo x y z; ! Randomly choose two different numbers between 0 and 51: while (x==y) { x = random(52) - 1; y = random(52) - 1; } z = pack_of_cards-->x; pack_of_cards-->x = pack_of_cards-->y; pack_of_cards-->y = z; ]; [ Card n; switch(n%13) { 0: print "Ace"; 1 to 9: print n%13 + 1; 10: print "Jack"; 11: print "Queen"; 12: print "King"; } print " of "; switch(n/13) { 0: print "Hearts"; 1: print "Clubs"; 2: print "Diamonds"; 3: print "Spades"; } ]; [ Main i; ! Create the pack in quot;factory order": for (i=0:i<52:i++) pack_of_cards-->i = i; ! Exchange random pairs of cards for a while: for (i=1:i<=SHUFFLES:i++) ExchangeTwo(); print "The pack has been shuffled into the following order:^"; for (i=0:i<52:i++) print (Card) pack_of_cards-->i, "^"; ];
The cards are represented by numbers in the range
0 (the Ace of Hearts) to 51 (the King of Spades). The pack itself has
52 positions, from position 0 (top) to position 51 (bottom). The
entry pack_of_cards-->i
holds the number of the
card in position i
. A new pack as produced by the factory
would come with Ace of Hearts on top (card 0 in position 0), running
down to the King of Spades on the bottom (card 51 in position 51).
▲
A hundred exchanges is only just enough. Redefining SHUFFLES
as 10,000
takes a lot longer, while redefining it as 10 makes for a highly suspect
result. Here is a more efficient method of shuffling (contributed
by Dylan Thurston), perfectly random in just 51 exchanges.
pack_of_cards-->0 = 0; for (i=1:i<52:i++) { j = random(i+1) - 1; pack_of_cards-->i = pack_of_cards-->j; pack_of_cards-->j = i; }
· · · · ·
In the above example, the array entries are all created containing 0. Instead, you can give a list of constant values. For example,
Array small_primes --> 2 3 5 7 11 13;
is an array with six entries, small_primes-->0
to small_primes-->5
, initially holding 2, 3, 5, 7, 11
and 13.
The third way to create an array gives some text as an initial value, occasionally useful because one popular use for arrays is as “strings of characters” or “text buffers”. For instance:
Array players_name --> "Frank Booth";
is equivalent to the directive:
Array players_name --> 'F' 'r' 'a' 'n' 'k' ' ' 'B' 'o' 'o' 't' 'h';
Literal text like "Frank Booth" is a constant,
not an array, and you can no more alter its lettering than you could
alter the digits of the number 124. The array players_name
is
quite different: its entries can be altered. But this means it cannot
be treated as if it were a string constant, and in particular can't
be printed out with print (string)
. See below for the right
way to do this.
• WARNING
In the pack of cards example, the entries are indexed 0 to 51. It's
therefore impossible for an interpreter to obey the following statement:
pack_of_cards-->52 = 0;
because there is no entry 52. Instead, the following message will be printed when it plays:
[** Programming error: tried to write to -->52 in the array “pack_of_cards”, which has entries 0 up to 51 **]
Such a mistake is sometimes called breaking the bounds of the array.
· · · · ·
The kind of array constructed above is sometimes called a “word array”. This is the most useful kind and many game designers never use the other three varieties at all.
▲
The first alternative is a “byte array”, which is identical
except that its entries can only hold numbers in the range 0 to 255,
and that it uses the notation ->
instead of -->
. This
is only really useful to economise on memory usage in special circumstances,
usually when the entries are known to be characters, because ZSCII
character codes are all between 0 and 255. The “Frank Booth”
array above could safely have been a byte array.
▲
In addition to this, Inform provides arrays which have a little extra
structure: they are created with the 0th entry holding the number
of entries. A word array with this property is called a table
;
a byte array with this property is a string
.
For example, the table
Array continents table 5;
has six entries: continents-->0
, which holds
the number 5, and further entries continents-->1
to continents-->5
. If the program changed
continents-->0
this would not magically change the
number of array entries, or indeed the number of continents.
▲▲
One main reason you might want some arrangement like this is to write
a general routine which can be applied to any array. Here is an example
using string
arrays:
Array password string "danger"; Array phone_number string "0171-930-9000"; ... print "Please give the password ", (PrintStringArray) password, " whenever telephoning Universal Exports at ", (PrintStringArray) phone_number, "."; ... [ PrintStringArray the_array i; for (i=1: i<=the_array->0: i++) print (char) the_array->i; ];
Such routines should be written with care, as the normal checking of array bounds isn't performed when arrays are accessed in this indirect sort of fashion, so any mistake you make may cause trouble elsewhere and be difficult to diagnose.
▲▲ With all data structures (i.e., with objects, strings, routines and arrays) Inform calls by reference, not by value. So, for instance:
[ DamageStringArray the_array i; for (i=1: i<=the_array->0: i++) { if (the_array->i == 'a' or 'e' or 'i' or 'o' or 'u') the_array->i = random('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'); print (char) the_array->i; } ];
means that the call DamageStringArray(password_string)
will not just print (say) “dungor” but also alter the one
and only copy of password_string
in the story file.
Surprisingly, perhaps, given that Inform is a language for text adventure games, support for reading from the keyboard is fairly limited. A significant difference of approach between Inform and many other systems for interactive fiction is that mechanisms for parsing textual commands don't come built into the language itself. Instead, game designers use a standard Inform parser program which occupies four and a half thousand lines of Inform code.
Reading single key-presses, perhaps with time-limits, or for that matter reading the mouse position and state (in a Version 6 game) requires the use of Inform assembly language: see §42.
A statement called read
does however
exist for reading in a single line of text and storing it into a
byte array:
read text_array 0;
You must already have set text_array->0
to the maximum number of characters you will allow to be read. (If
this is N, then the array must be defined with at least
N + 3 entries, the last of which guards against overruns.)
The number of characters actually read, not counting the carriage
return, will be placed into text_array->1
and
the characters themselves into entries from text_array->2
onwards. For example, if the player typed “GET IN”:
->0 |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
6 |
7 |
| max | characters | text typed by player, reduced to lower case | |||||
| 60 | 6 | 'g' |
'e' |
't' |
' ' |
'i' |
'n' |
The following echo chamber demonstrates how to read from this array:
Array text_array -> 63; [ Main c x; for (::) { print "^> "; text_array->0 = 60; read text_array 0; for (x=0:x<text_array->1:x++) { c = text_array->(2+x); print (char) c; if (c == 'o') print "h"; } } ];

read
can go further than simply reading in the text:
it can work out where the words start and end, and if they are words
registered in the story file's built-in vocabulary, known as the
“dictionary”. To produce all this information, read
needs to be supplied with a second array:
read text_array parse_array;
read
not only stores the text (just
as above) but breaks down the line into a sequence of words, in
which commas and full stops count as separate words in their own right.
(An example is given in Chapter IV,
§30.) In advance of this
parse_array->0
must havebeen set to W, the
maximum number of words you want to parse. Any further text will be
ignored. parse_array
should have at least 4W
+ 2 entries, because parse_array->1
is set to the
actual number of words parsed, and then a four-entry block is written
into the array for each word parsed. Numbering the words as 1, 2, 3,
…, the number of letters in word n is written into
parse_array->(n*4)
, and the position of the start
of the word in text_array
. The dictionary value of
the word, or zero if it isn't recognised, is stored as
parse_array-->(n*2-1)
. The corresponding parsing
array to the previous text array, for the command “GET IN”,
looks like so:
->0 |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
6 |
7 |
8 |
9 |
| max | words | first word | second word | ||||||
| 10 | 2 | 'get' |
2 | 3 | 'in' |
5 | 2 |
In this example both words were recognised. The
word “get” began at position ->2
in
the text array, and was 3 characters long; the word “in”
began at ->5
and was 2 characters long.
The following program reads in text and prints back an analysis:
Array text_array -> 63; Array parse_array -> 42; [ Main w x length position dict; w = 'mary'; w = 'had'; w = 'a//'; w = 'little'; w = 'lamb'; for (::) { print "^> "; text_array->0 = 60; parse_array->0 = 10; read text_array parse_array; for (w=1:w<=parse_array->1:w++) { print "Word ", w, ": "; length = parse_array->(4*w); position = parse_array->(4*w + 1); dict = parse_array-->(w*2-1); for (x=0:x<length:x++) print (char) text_array->(position+x); print " (length ", length, ")"; if (dict) print " equals '", (address) dict, "'^"; else print " is not in the dictionary^"; } } ];
Note that the pointless-looking first line of Main
adds five words to the dictionary. The result is:
>MARY, hello
Word 1: mary (length 4) equals 'mary'
Word 2: , (length 1) is not in the dictionary
Word 3: hello (length 5) is not in the dictionary
▲
What goes into the dictionary? The answer is: any of the words given
in the name of an object (see §3),
any of the verbs and prepositions given in grammar by Verb
and Extend
directives (see §26), and anything
given as a dictionary-word constant. The last is convenient because
it means that code like
if (parse_array -->(n*2-1)) == 'purple';
does what it looks as if it should. When compiling
this line, Inform automatically adds the word “purple”
to the story file's dictionary, so that any read
statement
will recognise it.
• REFERENCES
Evin Robertson's function library "array.h"
provides some simple array-handling utilities.
•L. Ross Raszewski's function
library "istring.h"
offers Inform versions of
the ANSI C string-handling routines, including strcmp()
,
strcpy()
and strcat()
. The further extension
"znsi.h"
allows the printing out of string
arrays with special escape sequences like [B
interpreted
as “bold face.” (See also the same author's
"ictype.h"
.)
•Adam Cadre's function library
"flags.h"
manages an array of boolean values
(that is, values which can only be true
or false
)
so as to use only one-sixteenth as much memory as a conventional array,
though at some cost to speed of access.

welcome to baltimore, guy !
you're now at the head of a dock workers team, and i can swear that you'll have no time to get bored !
well... a ship's just berthed over there, anyway. rally the troops, and get crackin' !
rules:
- // unload all containers and try to make a maximum of money from it. //
- // there are four sorts of legal containers: red, green, blue and yellow ones. //
- // you must start emptying the cargo from above. you'll be warned if you click on a wrong container. //
- // a red container should be removed at least every 5 containers. //
- // a green container shouldn't be removed after a red one. //
- // a blue container shouldn't be removed after another blue container located in the same row. //
- // a yellow container shouldn't be removed after another yellow container located in the same colum. //
- // in order to make more bucks, or to avoid facing a lose-big situation, you can hire up to 3 extra dockers. By clicking on the extra docker button, 3 randomly-selected of your containers will turn into another color. //
- // you don't really know who extra dockers are, and they might be malicious guys. For each color conversion, there's a 20% probability that a container converts into an illegal black container, full of smuggled goods, clothes, drugs, or even women to be sold as prostitutes. //
- // a black container must be removed after a 4 differently-colored containers streak (a red one, a green one, a blue one and a yellow one, whatever the order). //
- // if removed correctly, a legal container will make your gains increase by 10.000$. if not, your gains will decrease by 30.000$. //
- // by removing two consecutive evenly-colored containers, gains will be multiplied by 2. by removing 3+ of them, gains will be multiplied by 3. //
- // if removed correctly, an illegal container will make your gains increase by 100.000$. if not, your gains will decrease by 150.000$. //

ownership¶
You can take a reference to something that exists in Lua by pulling out a sol::reference or a sol::object:
sol::state lua;
lua.open_libraries(sol::lib::base);
lua.script(R"(
obj = "please don't let me die";
)");
sol::object keep_alive = lua["obj"];
lua.script(R"(
obj = nil;
function say(msg)
print(msg)
end
)");
lua.collect_garbage();
lua["say"](lua["obj"]);
// still accessible here and still alive in Lua
// even though the name was cleared
std::string message = keep_alive.as<std::string>();
std::cout << message << std::endl;
// Can be pushed back into Lua as an argument
// or set to a new name,
// whatever you like!
lua["say"](keep_alive);
Sol will not take ownership of raw pointers: raw pointers do not own anything. Sol will not delete raw pointers, because they do not (and are not supposed to) own anything:
struct my_type {
void stuff () {}
};
sol::state lua;
// AAAHHH BAD
// dangling pointer!
lua["my_func"] = []() -> my_type* {
return new my_type();
};
// AAAHHH!
lua.set("something", new my_type());
// AAAAAAHHH!!!
lua["something_else"] = new my_type();
Use/return a unique_ptr
or shared_ptr
instead or just return a value:
// :ok:
lua["my_func"] = []() -> std::unique_ptr<my_type> {
return std::make_unique<my_type>();
};
// :ok:
lua["my_func"] = []() -> std::shared_ptr<my_type> {
return std::make_shared<my_type>();
};
// :ok:
lua["my_func"] = []() -> my_type {
return my_type();
};
// :ok:
lua.set("something", std::unique_ptr<my_type>(new my_type()));
std::shared_ptr<my_type> my_shared = std::make_shared<my_type>();
// :ok:
lua.set("something_else", my_shared);
auto my_unique = std::make_unique<my_type>();
lua["other_thing"] = std::move(my_unique);
If you have something you know is going to last and you just want to give it to Lua as a reference, then it’s fine too:
// :ok:
lua["my_func"] = []() -> my_type* {
static my_type mt;
return &mt;
};
Sol can detect nullptr
, so if you happen to return it there won’t be any dangling because a sol::nil
will be pushed.
struct my_type {
void stuff () {}
};
sol::state lua;
// BUT THIS IS STILL BAD DON'T DO IT AAAHHH BAD
// return a unique_ptr still or something!
lua["my_func"] = []() -> my_type* {
return nullptr;
};
lua["my_func_2"] = [] () -> std::unique_ptr<my_type> {
// default-constructs as a nullptr,
// gets pushed as nil to Lua
return std::unique_ptr<my_type>();
// same happens for std::shared_ptr
}
// Acceptable, it will set 'something' to nil
// (and delete it on next GC if there's no more references)
lua.set("something", nullptr);
// Also fine
lua["something_else"] = nullptr;

TITAN A.E. (20th Century Fox) Voices: Matt Damon, Bill Pullman, Drew Barrymore, Nathan Lane, John Leguizamo, Janeane Garofolo. Screenplay: Ben Edlund and John August and Joss Whedon. Producers: David Kirschner, Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. Directors: Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. MPAA Rating: PG (adult themes, violence) Running Time: 93 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Early in the animated science fiction/adventure TITAN A.E., in a scene that takes place in the year 3028, the earth is obliterated by an alien race called the Drej. Apparently, the Drej fear humanity, and want it stamped out forever. Why exactly do the Drej fear humanity? Who cares?
Flash forward 15 years, where a human survivor named Cale (Matt Damon) is living among aliens and other scattered humans as a laborer.  He is supposed to be deeply embittered by feelings of abandonment, but why are we supposed to understand that when Damon's vocal performance never suggests anything more than mild annoyance? Who cares?
A spacecraft captain named Korso (Bill Pullman) arrives, and informs Cale that the location of Titan is locked into his DNA. Cale accompanies Korso and his crew on a mission to find Titan, and along the way becomes smitten with Korso's pilot Akima (Drew Barrymore). Why exactly does Cale fall for her, except for the fact that she appears to be the only human female he's ever met? Who cares?
 It is also inexcusably lazy and dramatically inept, and there is no earthly or after-earthly reason why that had to be the case. Director Don Bluth has made fine animated films like AN AMERICAN TAIL, THE LAND BEFORE TIME and ANASTASIA, which would be reason enough to hope for the best. But look at the talent credited with this script: Ben Edlund created the wonderfully satirical comic book "The Tick;" John August wrote the propulsively clever GO; Joss Whedon co-scripted TOY STORY, and created "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Put those three writers together, and the law of averages would almost demand something smart, unconventional and utterly original.
Instead, they pasted together a story so blatantly cribbed from so many different sources that it would be an endless and thankless task to list them all (STAR WARS, STAR TREK 2 and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA are only the most obvious). That's not an uncommon problem with films of this genre; after all, there are certain buttons one is expected to push, and certain hero-on-a-quest motifs one is obliged to include. That doesn't excuse creating a thoroughly unappealing protagonist, introducing an evil alien race whose motivations never make any sense, or filling the script with dialogue that could have come from a Random Cliche Generator. Not a single line stuck in my head within minutes of leaving the theater; not a single character relationship was explored with any care.
Of course, it doesn't help that virtually every voice performance in TITAN A.E. feels as though it were completed while the actor involved was preoccupied with some other mundane task, like making dinner reservations, or trying to get out of traffic. Damon's lackluster work is most evident, but Pullman and Barrymore certainly give him a run for his money; even Janeane Garofalo and Nathan Lane are wasted. Only John Leguizamo, as a high-strung scientist/navigator on Korso's ship, seems at all interested in creating a character, and he does so primarily by talking really fast in a squeaky voice. There isn't a single moment in TITAN A.E. when a performance feels directed. Bluth and co-director Gary Goldman appear to have felt the actors had done their job if they read their lines without stuttering.
There's no question that TITAN A.E. is visually striking, and that the action sequences are well-paced. There are two stunning flights of fantasy in particular that briefly give the film a vivid sense of place: a planet with a sea covered in plants that bloom as hovering balls of hydrogen, and a nebula filled with massive reflective ice crystals. Both effects are computer generated, and the mix of conventional animation and CGI elements continues to push the boundaries of the form. But TITAN A.E. can't survive on its dazzle; it's too grim and mirthless to hold anyone's interest as pure fantasy. This is one long, long 90 minute wait for us to see whether Cale and his cohorts can save humanity. Do they save humanity? Who cares?
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 Titan-icks: 4.

Let me just preface this by saying Golden Teachers teach if you let them.
And so it began by three of us I, M and L all munching down our little baggies of teachers on a street in I and M's hometown. We all consumed relatively the same amount and the same strain. I'd say within 25 minutes I noticed the pavement looking a bit distorted but I have always seem movement in objects my brain should filter out as being still. My physical effects came in five minutes later with me having a typical type of heavyness.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
At this point I was driving ans said to L who was in the front seat, 'better get to my house'. She nodded knowing exactly what I meant. I had played prop in two rugby matches earlier that day so I figured I'd try to nap before the stuff kicked in as I was a bit tired. I have noticed trying to sleep on mushrooms seems to always produce a negative reaction and have yet to figure out why, my guess is part of you wants to sleep and the other is going jesus man you are missing out on something here.
Anyway, after a half hour of half sleeping other friends of mine came into the room and woke me up L convinced me that sleeping wasn't a good idea. Their faces were slightly distorted this about 90 minutes in. This next part is atypical of past experiences but I stood up from my bed and wham, a huge whack and I was into the abyss.
My red light in my room had dominated half my room and a green tint was cast on the walls that where not red. L was now laying on the bed and energy was flowing all around her curves like a clear river. For a brief second she turned into medusa and then looked exceedingly attractive (in a non sexual way). I then looked at myself in the mirror and.......no words for that one. Somehow L appeared there next to me and seemingly the exact time we said wow.
For the next while I'm guessing an hour I walked around saying minimal mostly wow and yeah with a grin on my face the peak I cannot really describe other then a total flow of sensory input distorting time so much that living in the moment seemed possible. It was quite zen. I had an idea that all the senory distorts time because with the exstensive input my brain might say hey all that happened it must have taken this long. But really all I am doing is seeing/hearing/ etc. more at that particular point in time.
The next decisive string of events which seemed significant was my falling in between my couch and table with a plant on it, for some reason I stayed there while L and a non tripping kid where tyring to tell me thep lant was falling off I just did not care and found a large amount of enjoyment in sitting there. Luckily they moved the plant for me to my living room floor which I found insanely comical. The very Idea of pet plants.
By now they had peaked about 3.75 hours after the eating of the bag. Another important part I noticed was in the hours of comming off the plateau. I and L also percieved so many realities, those of the people around us about 12 people in all and the big reality we all where in and still are in. It's interesting because we could actually see the path and energy flowing around in these realities. L told me she wasn't afraid of death anymore about 6 hour into it and I congradualted her. She still claims this.
A little bit of notes on the experience:
Intense but mentaly linked visuals
Only partial ego was dissolved
I had injested the yohimbe hearing it was an MAOI but could not conclude if it had any real effects
I had been victorious in two matches of rugby earlier that day so had a jolly mindset

The opacity property is often used together with the :hover selector to change the opacity on mouse-over:
10% opacity
30% opacity
60% opacity
opacity 1
10% opacity
30% opacity
60% opacity
default
Notice how the text gets transparent as well as the background color when using the opacity property.


ctgm_lfdr
computes the oracle local FDR estimate, by using all p-values without masking.
ctgm_lfdr( x, pvals, models, dist = beta_family(), type = c("over", "raw"), params0 = list(pix = NULL, mux = NULL), niter = 50, cr = "BIC", verbose = TRUE )
| x | covariates (i.e. side-information). Should be compatible to |
|---|---|
| pvals | a vector of values in [0, 1]. P-values |
| models | an object of class " |
| dist | an object of class " |
| type | a character. Either "over" or "raw" indicating the type of local FDR estimates. See Details |
| params0 | a list in the form of list(pix = , mux = ). Initial values of pi(x) and mu(x). Both can be set as NULL |
| niter | a positive integer. Number of EM iterations. |
| cr | a string. The criterion for model selection with BIC as default. Also support AIC, AICC and HIC |
| verbose | a logical values in the form of list(fit = , ms = ). Indicate whether the progress of model fitting and model selection is displayed |
lfdra vector of values in [0, 1]. Local FDR estimates of each hypothesis.
modelan adapt_model
object. The selected model if multiple models are provided.
ctgm_lfdr
implements the EM algorithm to fit pi(x) and mu(x) on unmasked p-values. Although it is not related to FDR control of AdaPT, it provides useful measures for post-hoc justification and other purposes.
For instance, one can use these local FDR estimates for prioritizing the hypotheses if strict FDR control is not required.
In contrast to adapt
, cytm_lfdr
does not guarantee FDR control unless the model is correctly specified. It is recommended to use ctgm_lfdr
only when FDR control is not required.
x
should have a type compatible to the fitting functions in models
. For GLM and GAM, x
should be a data.frame. For glmnet, x
should be a matrix.
models
could either be an adapt_model
object, if a single model is used, or a list of adapt_model
objects, each of which corresponding to a model. Each element should be generated by gen_adapt_model
. For glm/gam/glmnet, one can use the shortcut by running gen_adapt_model
with name = "glm" or "gam" or "glmnet" but without specifying pifun
, mufun
, pifun_init
and mufun_init
. See examples below.
When type = "over"
, it yields a conservative estimate of local FDR
$$lfdr(p) = (1 - \pi_{1} + \pi_{1}f_{1}(1)) / (1 - \pi_{1} + \pi_{1}f_{1}(p)).$$
When type = "raw"
, it yields the original local FDR.
$$lfdr(p) = (1 - \pi_{1}) / (1 - \pi_{1} + \pi_{1}f_{1}(p)).$$
The former is shown to be more stable and reliable because the weak identifiability in conditional mixture models.
