Very neat! Declaring intermediate variables rather than all of them being in one line makes the code very readable.
def foo1():
i = 0
result = 0
while i < 10:
result += i
i += 1
return result
print(foo1())
Upon inspection, realize that the code is doing a summation of 0 to 9.
0 + 1 + 2 + ... + 9 = 45
def foo2():
i = 0
result = 0
while i < 10:
if i == 3:
break
result += i
i += 1
return result
print(foo2())
Similar to foo1()
, but the loop stops when i == 3
0 + 1 + 2 = 3
def bar1():
result = 0
for i in range(10):
result += i
return result
print(bar1())
Does exactly the same thing as foo1()
, but a for
loop version.
0 + 1 + 2 = 3
def bar2():
result = 0
for i in range(10):
if i % 3 == 1:
continue
result += i
return result
print(bar2())
Like bar2()
but does not add to result when i % 3 == 1
.
0 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 9 = 33

Very clear and to the point.
But note that sum

Better not overwrite it.

French Cuisine is notoriously famous for its exquisite, elegant dishes that complements all elements on a plate. French Cuisines consists of cooking traditions that have been developed, improved upon to deliver world famous food that is renowned for its taste! So as they in France Bon Apetit Monsieur/Madame!
A common element of French Cuisine is the tradition revolving outdoor dining. It’s no secret that the French love outdoor dining. Therefore, on most side streets/promenades, it won’t be uncommon to find for example the following:
- Bistros
- Cafes
- Restaurants
French cuisine is very popular across the globe. Many dishes that originated from France, has seen a widespread adoption throughout the world. Below, you will find some of these dishes!!
Crepes
The French Crepe is a very thin but packed full of flavour. To us a Crepe would mirror our famous pancakes.  Many times Crepes are stuffed with chocolate to add that extra little bit of flavour that many people love some much. This Crepes are usually garnished with fresh fruit and some icing sugar to decorate.
Ratatouille
Ratatouille has to be my favourite French delicacy of all time! Ratatouille is such a simple recipe to make, although when ready it looks like a meal served in a five star Restaurent. Ratatouille is essentially a stew. The main ingredients include tomato, garlic, onion, courgette with some other ingredients being added by other chefs. Some chefs include meat as an ingredient but its not mandatory.
Croissants
Croissants is one of the most common French delicacies that have seen a widespread adoption across the globe. These soft but sweet breakfast essential is a food item France will never be in short supply of. This cresenct shaped, flakey pastry, tipically enjoyed at breakfast time is a must have when visiting France! And what makes this delicacy even more enjoyable is croissants can aslo be stuffed with items such as chocolate and haslenut! Sometimes these breakfast delights can be stuffed with cheese and ham to a little more flavour!

@Scott Morrison The tidy hole command is really marvellous. Here are some trivialities that might give epsilon improvement:
(1) If tidy
generates the proof begin refl end
, generate rfl
instead.
(2) If tidy
generates the proof begin exact foo end
, generate foo
instead.
@Johan Commelin, the first is impossible, or rather useless: Lean actually decides _in the parser_ whether you not you proved by rfl
, rather than inspecting the proof term!
But (2) will go on my todo list. (i.e.
The hole command returns some string, and VScode substitutes that for the hole. Is that right?
Ah, okay. Absolutely, I can do that.
If that string is exactly begin refl end
, then you might as well output rfl
instead.
by induction convert tactic proofs to term proofs
I can also have "begin just_one_tactic end" into "by just_one_tactic".
I think refl
tries slightly harder than rfl
That's somewhere on the VScode extension wishlist
I think
refl
tries slightly harder thanrfl
Hmmm... that might be true. So maybe we need to slightly patch tidy, to first try exact rfl
. Then (1) will be a special case of (2).
Anyway, this is not high priority stuff.
refl
works for any reflexive relation I think. rfl
is just equality.
I think it also does more definitional reduction
Can you give an example? If I prove something with by refl
, the proof term is just eq.refl _
which is rfl

It's always nice to catch up with a few things one has been delaying for (say) weeks...
I'm impressed with the easy and quality of the free software available to virtualise computers!
In case you're new to virtualisation of computers; roughly speaking, a virtual computer is 'software behaving like a full computer'.
When your home computer is about to die, or you have the extra $$ to buy a more powerfull machine, then you can move your virtual computer by 'copy and pasting' a folder (kinda)...
I'm also using virutalisation to run Ubuntu in Windows and Windows in Ubuntu - now how silly is that ;-)

NOTTING HILL A movie review by Joe Barlow (c) Copyright 1999
STARRING: Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, Alec Baldwin, Rhys Ifans DIRECTOR: Roger Michell WRITER: Richard Curtis RATED: PG-13 RELEASED: 1999
"Notting Hill," the new romantic comedy from director Roger Michell ("Four Weddings and a Funeral"), is the cinematic equivalent of a hot fudge sundae: it has no nutritional value whatsoever, but tastes so good going down that you simply don't care.  Tooth decay be damned.
Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is the world's most beloved actress. While in London to promote her latest film, she wanders into a dilapidated bookstore run by Will Thacker (Hugh Grant), the even more dilapidated owner. Anna is charmed by Will's amiable personality, and the fact that he treats her like a person as opposed to a celebrity. A second accidental meeting later on sets the amour wheels in motion... as well as the inevitable complications stemming from their vastly different backgrounds.
There's nothing new about the structure of "Notting Hill"; the "rich girl falls for poor boy" scenario is well-established, having been employed in movies ranging from "Titanic" to Disney's "Lady and the Tramp," and the delights of the film certainly owe nothing to the formulaic way in which the story devlops. Still, the movie does offer some pleasant surprises along its journey to Happily Ever After-ville. The biggest one: the performances. Although the lead actors are fine (and Hugh Grant is significantly more than that), the show is stolen by the strong supporting cast, which include a wheelchair-bound woman that Will has always loved... despite the fact that she's married to his best friend. Will's little sister is pleasantly freaky, stuck working in London's worst record store to make ends meet. Comic relief is provided by Will's sleezy roommate Spike (Rhys Ifans), the Jar Jar Binks of the story. I was quite frankly more interested in learning more about these folks than I was in seeing the outcome of the tale itself, primarily because they were all so interesting and unusual.
Visual grace is not Roger Michell's strong point. Most of the time he chooses to simply point the camera at his cast and turn it on, allowing the sweet chemistry between his two lead actors and the clever screenplay from Richard Curtis to carry the momentum. Much has been made of the fact that the movie was actually shot in the Notting Hill region of London, but we never get to see very much of it, and that's a little disappointing. Too much of the film plays like a montage of talking heads: there's a lot of dialogue, and not much else. There are, however, two amazing shots that I must make mention of. The first is the impressive pullback of Anna and Will sitting alone on a park bench, enjoying a rare moment of privacy together. Through the pullback, the camera not only allows them a much-deserved moment of solitude, but also foreshadows a later discussion on perspective, a scene upon which the whole movie hinges. There's also a great weather montage: Michell shows the passage of several months by having Will walk down the street, through bright sunlight, into rain, then snow, and back into the sunlight again, all in one continuous shot, while Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" plays softly in the background.
"Notting Hill" isn't really a film about relationships so much as the concept of 'celebrity.' We're given a glimpse into the claustrophobic life of a big-name movie star, watching as her personal life is basically irradicated before our very eyes. It's undeniably interesting... but surprisingly, it's not really involving on an emotional level. Although Grant and Roberts look great together, I had trouble believing their relationship. The script flings them together much too quickly-- the first kiss occurs after they've been together only a handful of minutes. Nor did I understand why Grant's character, so charming and intelligent, was utterly smitten with a woman who treats him so horribly. It's probably not a good sign when, while watching a romantic comedy, you're hoping the guy will dump the girl and find someone who actually deserves his affections. I can understand the lure and appeal of Hollywood glitz and fairy dust, but they should not be a key factor in deciding whether or not to pursue a relationship with a person.
There are some problems with the film--and significant ones-- but in the end I was won over by the movie's utter sweetness and great comedy. I don't often laugh out loud at the theater, but "Notting Hill" got me on at least five occasions, and had the rest of the audience rolling in the aisles as well. It's that beloved rarity: a romantic comedy in which the humor is actually given the same amount of attention as the love story. The touching but hilarious scene in which Will poses as a reporter for "Horse and Hound" magazine simply so he can be near his beloved shows both the absurdity of love, and the lengths to which people will go to keep it. The entire movie is full of gems like this.
"Notting Hill" is a paint-by-numbers story, completely predictable from start to finish... but since the ride was an entertaining one, I have absolutely no problem with that.
RATING: *** (out of a possible ****)
("Notting Hill" sweetens the deal on Friday, May 28th.)

Local leader, family pushing for autism symbol on NYS driver's licenses
by Joe TorresPUTNAM LAKE, Putnam County (WABC) -- For Pete and Denise Gagliardo of Putnam Lake, the epiphany for placing the autism symbol on the New York State Driver's License came during the season opening episode of ABC's hit show "The Good Doctor."
"It popped into my mind about kids that are on the spectrum. What happens to my son now that he is driving if he gets pulled over in this instance," Pete said. "What is he going to do if something happens out of the norm."
So Pete, thinking of his 18-year-old autistic son Ryan, put his idea on paper.
He sent a letter to 20 area state legislators, including Governor Andrew Cuomo who responded and said he would look into the proposal.
Yonkers State Assemblyman Nader Sayegh went even further.
The Westchester Democrat drafted a bill designed to turn the Gagliardo's idea into reality.
"I jumped on it because I like being pro-active and when something makes sense, why delay," Sayegh said.
A quick internet search shows there have been many instances, in our area and across the country, where a police officer took aggressive action to subdue an uncooperative driver, only to find out later the driver was autistic.
The approach would have been completely different if the officer had that information beforehand.
"They're able to see the person is on the spectrum and they can respond accordingly as far as they can turn it down a notch," said Sgt. Gerald Locascio, of the Town of Kent Police Department. "They can, if there are other officers responding for whatever the situation is, they can advise them to back it down with the lights, the siren."
Denise and her son know exactly how Ryan would respond if an officer pulled him over.
"He's never been experienced with an officer before in that close capacity, and that would make him seem that he was agitated," Denise said.
"Do you think that might be interpreted by the officer as being uncooperative?" Eyewitness News asked.
"Yes," Ryan said.
Sayegh's bill still needs approval from the full state assembly. His search for a co-sponsor in the senate is now underway.
He anticipates almost universal support and told Eyewitness News the legislation could be on the governor's desk by the end of June.

Nigel Farage unveils immigration cap as part of Brexit Party election pitch
The anti-EU party wants a net migration limit of ‘around 50,000’ people per year.
Nigel Farage has called for a cap on immigration as he set out the Brexit Party’s policy platform for the General Election.
Launching the party’s “contract with the people”, Mr Farage said all the party’s demands were underpinned by the need to secure a “clean-break Brexit” with the European Union.
On immigration, he said his suggested 50,000 per year target for net migration entering the UK was not “an absolute” figure but instead a “rough marker” in order to bring back “post-war normality” in terms of social integration.
Asked whether, with tens of thousands of skills shortages in the nursing and construction professions, his figure was “unattainable”, Mr Farage replied; “No, not at all.”
He added: “I’m setting it as a rough marker, I’m not saying it is an absolute.
“I’m saying, let’s return to 60 years of post-war normality that actually led to us having the best levels of integration in any country in Europe, the best race relations in Europe.
“We did this incredibly well until the late 1990s, when we took a different direction.
“We are now paying quite a big price for that.”
The former Ukip boss said skills gaps would be filled by focusing on training young people for trade jobs rather than arts degrees and issuing temporary work permits to help fill some sectors.
Speaking to supporters and journalists in Westminster on Friday, the anti-EU leader appeared to row back on his demands for a no-deal Brexit – dubbed a “clean break” by the Brexit Party.
Mr Farage hinted that his cohort could be prepared to throw its support behind a Canada-style free trade deal with Brussels – an agreement which would not see Britain aligned with Brussels regulations.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has suggested he would look to negotiate a type of free trade deal during the 2020 transition period.
Questioned about his comments, Mr Farage said: “A clean-break means not being under EU rules and not adjudged by their courts, it is quite simple.”
He denied his support for a Canada-style agreement was a “change in definition” to what a clean-break had meant previously.
“I stick to what I’ve said for 25 years.
“I want a genuine free trade agreement with the European Union, whether we get that before we leave or what do we do after we leave, doesn’t matter to me,” he said.
“Brexit, that vote that everybody tries to talk about the economic terms, was a political decision.
“We voted to leave the European Union and its institutions.
“And it is that, so far, that Westminster has completely failed to deliver and that explains much of the breakdown of trust.”
Other measures included in the 21-page policy document, include:
– Halting HS2
– Scrapping the BBC licence fee
– Allowing citizens to call referendums if five million people agree
– Abolishing inheritance tax
– Investing £2.5 billion in fishing and coastal communities
– Giving businesses zero-rate corporation tax for the first £10,000 of pre-tax profits
– Abolishing privatisation in the NHS
– Establishing 24-hour GP surgeries
– Creating freeports in “certain regions”
The Brexit Party said binning the blueprints for HS2, keeping the payments Britain currently pays to Brussels and re-directing half the foreign aid budget would give the government £200 billion of investment to play with.
The Eurosceptics, who are standing candidates in 274 seats after opting not to contest Tory-held constituencies, want that money to go towards abolishing interest on student loans, reducing import tariffs to cut the cost of food and clothes coming from outside the EU and abandoning the apprenticeship levy which they said had caused employment opportunities to “collapse”.
Mr Farage denied his party’s referendum policy, allowing one to take place if five million people concurred, would pave the way for a second Brexit referendum through the backdoor.
The MEP said: “The same subject could not be re-examined within the space of a 10-year period.”
The so-called “contract” announcement also saw the party air its election broadcast, which is designed to encourage Labour Leave voters to pluck for the Brexit Party over the Tories in Labour-held marginals.
“It will give us the freedom to shape our future by taking immediate control of our own laws, borders, money, fishing and defence.”


MachineAccountQuota (MAQ) is a domain level attribute that by default permits unprivileged users to attach up to 10 computers to an Active Directory (AD) domain.
ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota
So Is MachineAccountQuota Useful?
Since I first started working on Powermad, I’ve learned a lot about MAQ beyond just the default 10 system limit. Recently, I’ve learned even more from some amazing blog posts by Elad Shamir, Harmj0y, and Dirk-jan, in which MAQ makes an appearance.
Overall, the conclusion I’ve reached is that MachineAccountQuota is useful…...sometimes.

Helping to build DIY Skatespots through community.
With the many DIY project sites going on in the United States, and the world for that matter, we teamed up with local skate shops to start an incentive program to get donations for these projects. What started out as a silly idea, the bucket, grew to vast support through our curated hashtag over Instagram. Initially, the website was secondary. Basic and informational with a list of participating shoups throughout the world.
However, as the project proceeded, we began to gather how-to video and step -by-step build resources that could help out the local community of skateboarders and DIY park builders to help them realize their dreams and build better and long lasting obstacles with the help of professionals and the community.
Though the project has ended, the site lives on to feature ongoing efforts in the DIY community. This not only keeps the initiative alive, but helps to inspire other new-comers as well as current builders. Spots come and go, but the spirit of building your own skatepark lives on. We built in a blog section that is crafted to receive high rankings in searchbility for each story, giving the spots more views and recognition throughout the web.
Sketches and workflows for the second phase of The Build Project.
Visual design was done within the browser for fast deployment. We knew the site was going to get build and the faster the information was out, the better. Intitially the site started with a home page, and about section and a shop list. It then began to grow with the resources section and then a blog section for any DIY crew that cared to submit a story. These have become valuable exposure for these spots, helping them out with donations.
The visual design of the site uses black and dark grey tones and the orange from construction buckets to give it strength without overwhealming users. Consideration for legibility was placed in the use of cards with white backgrounds that work seamlessly for mobile and desktop layouts. Minor animation details in the buttons help cue the user.
Currently the site feedback and involvement has been great, but it is only one-sided. We are in the works of creating an app that could possibly bring in even more in donations to groups that are even more remote! We aim to make each and every DIY a success story. Even the ones that fall to destruction can be considered a success.


In Ayurveda, fertility is at the deepest level of health. Everything that is consumed is transformed into shukra, “the seed of life”. In Ayurvedic view, poor diet, digestion or internal toxicity and stress are the frequent causes of fertility problems. Ayurvedic detox protocols are used if the fertility blocker is determined to be “ama” (toxins) in the system. Many factors contribute to toxins including: excess weight, fibroids, poor digestion, constipation or anaemia. Ayurveda takes a holistic view about health and treats the body as a whole instead of an individual ailment. Some of the treatment protocols and herbs proven useful are: Swedanam, Banyan tree bark, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Triphala, Phala Gritam etc. Ayurveda also recommends a strict diet for those who are having difficulty in conception. Apart from avoiding spicy and excessively salty food, it recommends including the following foods in the patients diet: • Almonds • Fresh Vegetables • Whole Grains • Dairy products such as milk • Fresh Fruits • Dried Fruits All these foods help provide nutrition to the shukra dhatu, which in turn can help a person conceive.

--- layout: post title: MMO2 closes Manx Telecom 3G network date: 2004-04-16 00:00:00 category: mobile ---
MMO2 have shut down the 3G network which ran on the Isle of Man (in conjunction with Manx Telecom).
I'm not quite sure why they've done this (and despite the fact that Future Platforms provided a set of 3G healthcare services, this press story is the first I've heard about it). An O2 spokesman says "it was never intended to be a commercial service", which directly contradicts what was said when the service launched:
"Mr Briers says Manx Telecom's service is intended to be commercially successful rather than merely a chance for BT to try out the technology."
It's interesting that, having set up the not-quite-first 3G network in the world with support from NEC and Siemens, MMO2 have decided to go with Nokia and Nortel for their future European 3G services.

LECTURE 4¶
DIGITAL INPUTS¶
(images needs to be added here)
In many cases, you only need to know one thing about the physical world: Whether something is true or false. Is the viewer in the room or out? Are they touching the table or not? Is the door open or closed? In these cases, you can determine what you need to know using a digital input, or switch. Digital inputs have two states: off and on. If voltage is flowing, the circuit is on. If it’s not flowing, the circuit is off. To make a digital circuit, you need a circuit, and a movable conductor which can either complete the circuit, or not.
PULL UP Configuration¶
In pullup configuration, when switch is pressed then arduino digital pin is connected to ground. So, input pin will read it as logic low. When switch is released then pin is connected to vcc via a resistor. The pin will read it as logic high.
PULL DOWN Configuration¶
In pulldown configuration, when switch is pressed then arduino digital pin is connected to vcc. So, input pin will read it as logic high. When switch is released then pin is connected to ground via a resistor. The pin will read it as logic low.


On Making Mistakes I Tweet
Gut Reaction to failing
I went with a good friend of mine to North Carolina for Snow Tubing. On our way up the mountains, his car started to skid and his engine sounded strange. I said in a soft voice, “what’s going on?”. He didn’t respond. He was cool and collected. No “Oh shit! We’re fucked!” even if the front hood started to smoke. There was no cellphone signal too! So, even if it was probably a crisis, I didn’t get too worried because he was cool. Within 5 minutes, strangers helped us.
I talked to him later on. I told him that I was amazed with how he dealt with everything. I wondered if he was always like that. He told me that his problem-solving mode was on overdrive. I was at awe. He apologized to me for putting me in that situation but I said, I was the one having the free ride. I couldn’t help him get his car back. He admitted to me that he broke down in private and that he was thinking that he’s too relaxed about things. That he made a mistake in buying a car - a luxury he didn’t need.
When things go wrong at one point, I was wondering if it is right to call that moment we made a decision a mistake. Was marrying someone a mistake? Was deciding to be friends with someone you like a mistake? Was getting into a university you had doubts with a mistake? My answer is no to all of them. If I went back in time, there are things I might have done slightly differently. I look back and am thankful that I made those choices.
When things are going right, you tap your shoulders and tell yourself, “ah good decision!”. And when things go horribly wrong, why is our gut reaction in the form of deep regret and calling ourselves stupid?
I was trying to put myself in my friend’s shoes. I tried to imagine that moment I decided to say yes to buying that car. Without rigorously listing the pros and cons, I might have thought, I want to get this car for the following reasons: 1.) I need it so I can easily get food/groceries. 2.) I want to meet and see people outside of Tuscaloosa 3.) I want to go on nature trips like I used to back home 4.) I want to be able to go to the airport, go to doctor’s out-of-the-county doctor’s appointments without bugging people to take me. I personally have many reasons to get that car. It was cheap and in a good condition.  And in a sense, I had the opposite problem, “I wanted a car, but I never had the courage to get one. And here’s my friend having the time of his life being mobile and all.”
Our gut reaction to failing is in the form of being demoralized and having a feeling of helplessness. There’s this helpful article by a psychologist named Guy Winch that I’ve been trying to put in practice. One of the ways we can practice emotional first aid is to redirect our gut reaction when we fail. We can make a list of factors we can control if we were to try again. For example, when preparing or planning, how could we improve on those aspects. We can reduce our feeling of helplessnes and make things better in the future.
Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted. – Some meme I saw somewhere
How do we make better decisions? How much should we listen to the “something’s off” voice? How does time, the lack of resources, specially poverty affect decision-making? I’ve been reading and thinking about these questions the past few days since the trip. I decided to split this blog post because I need to wake up early for work tomorrow and damn I think I’m really behind on my physics work now. :P #soliloquy


To build a department of global repute for providing technical ability and professional skills in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
The department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (E&EE), is one of the three branches of Diploma Engineering started at CCCT in the year 2005. At present , there are five M. Tech faculties specialized in various fields of Electrical & Electronics Engineering. About 20 research papers have been published by the E & EE faculty and student till date in various international journals and conferences. Apart from the Diploma Course in E&E Engg., the department also offers an short term courses on various topics. The department is recognized as a research centre by the Power and Energy Department , Government of Sikkim for the execution of Suryamitra Project. These projects are being guided by the professional society. The department has a large number of highly qualified and experienced faculties. The department has received so far the total amount of about Rs. 45 Lakhs from various Governement funding agencies. The department has excellent laboratory and well equipped computer center facilities which are useful to the students, research scholars as well as for industrial consultancy work.


I am a software engineering student at Olin College of Engineering. When the weather is warm and sunny you can find me hiking or on a golf course. When the weather isn't so nice, I will be found wrapped in a blanket reading a book or watching a romantic comedy. I also enjoy spending my time writing letters to friends and family members. As a result, I have recently picked up the art of calligraphy.
I grew up in San Antonio, Texas and went to North East School of the Arts (NESA). At NESA I dedicated many hours to the orchestra, playing the viola for many musicals and concerts. I decided to focus on fine arts in high school instead of tech/engineering because I knew it would be the last time I could really engage with this passion.
I decided to go into the field of engineering because engineers have a solid hand in the future of the world. Without engineering we would be a very rudimentary society. I want to use my knowledge to empower people and create a better society. I am still unsure how I will accomplish this goal, but it is something I strive towards every day.


Ambiguous permutations
问题描述 :
Some programming contest problems are really tricky: not only do they require a different output format from what you might have expected, but also the sample output does not show the difference. For an example, let us look at permutations.
A permutation of the integers 1 to n is an ordering of these integers. So the natural way to represent a permutation is to list the integers in this order. With n = 5, a permutation might look like 2, 3, 4, 5, 1.
However, there is another possibility of representing a permutation: You create a list of numbers where the i-th number is the position of the integer i in the permutation. Let us call this second possibility an inverse permutation. The inverse permutation for the sequence above is 5, 1, 2, 3, 4.
An ambiguous permutation is a permutation which cannot be distinguished from its inverse permutation. The permutation 1, 4, 3, 2 for example is ambiguous, because its inverse permutation is the same. To get rid of such annoying sample test cases, you have to write a program which detects if a given permutation is ambiguous or not.

输入:
The input contains several test cases.
The first line of each test case contains an integer n (1 <= n <= 100000). Then a permutation of the integers 1 to n follows in the next line. There is exactly one space character between consecutive integers. You can assume that every integer between 1 and n appears exactly once in the permutation.
The last test case is followed by a zero.

分三种情况讨论。Not Possible就是impossible
很好。代码比书上的简练！
这一题的代码这样提交时错误的~少考虑了很多情况
很好，注释很详细啊
这个问题应该是有一般性的解决方法
额楼主能否在发布代码的同时对解题思路做个讲解呢？这样大家在学习的时候就方便多了。
mark, 备用
L（X [0 .. M-1]，Y [0 .. N-1]）= 1 + L（X [0 .. M-2]，Y [0 .. N-1]）这个地方也也有笔误
应改为L（X [0 .. M-1]，Y [0 .. N-1]）= 1 + L（X [0 .. M-2]，Y [0 .. N-2]）
http://www.realoj.com/problem/7如果楼主不介意，以可以在这个oj上做下，按照你的代码是错的。。。直接复制粘贴你的也是错。。不懂错在哪。
不错，赞一个！
.net中char类型不是两个字节么
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)

int arr[] = {10,20,30,40,50,60};
int *p=arr;
printf("%d,%d,",*p++,*++p);
printf("%d,%d,%d",*p,*p++,*++p);
return 0;
}
为什么是 20,20,50,40,50. 我觉得的应该是 20,20,40,40,50 . 谁能解释下？
请不要灌水，多谢！
太好了，收藏


Thunder rolled across the low, brown grassland hills in a continuous peal, though the sky held not a cloud, only the burning sun, still with a way to climb. On a hilltop, Rand held the reins and the Dragon Scepter on the pommel of his saddle and waited. The thunder swelled. It was hard not to look over his shoulder constantly, south toward Alanna. She had bruised her heel this morning and scraped her hand, and she was in a temper. How and what for, he had no notion; he had no real notion how he could be so sure. The thunder crested.
The Saldaean horsemen appeared over the next rise, three abreast at a dead gallop in a long snake that kept coming, down the slope into the broad sweep between the hills. Nine thousand men made a very long snake. At the foot of the slope they divided, the center column coming on while the others peeled off to right and left, each column dividing again and again until they rode by hundreds, swooping past one another. Riders began standing on their saddles, sometimes on feet, sometimes on hands. Others swung impossibly low to slap the ground on first one side of their galloping mounts, then the other. Men left their saddles entirely to crawl underneath speeding horses, or dropped to the ground to run a pace beside the animal before leaping back into the saddle, then dropping on the other side to repeat the performance.
Rand lifted his reins and heeled Jeade’en. As the dapple moved, so did the Aiel surrounding him. This morning the men were Mountain Dancers, Hama N’dore, more than half wearing the headband of siswai’aman. Caldin, graying and leathery, had tried to get Rand to let him bring more than twenty, what with so many armed wetlanders about; none of the Aiel wasted any time with disparaging looks for Rand’s sword. Nandera spent more time watching the two hundred-odd women who trailed after them on horses; she seemed to find more threat in the Saldaean ladies and officers’ wives than in the soldiers, and having met some of the Saldaean women, Rand was not ready to argue. Sulin would probably have agreed. It occurred to him that he had not seen Sulin in . . . not since returning from Shadar Logoth. Eight days. He wondered if he had done something to offend her.
This was no time to worry about Sulin or ji’e’toh. He circled around the valley until he reached the hilltop over which the Saldaeans had first appeared to him. Bashere himself rode about down there examining first one group as they went through their paces, then another; almost coincidentally, he just happened to do this standing up on his saddle.
For an instant Rand seized saidin, and released it a heartbeat later. With his vision enhanced, it had not been difficult to see the two white stones lying near the foot of the slope, right where Bashere had placed them personally last night, four paces apart. With luck, no one had seen him. With luck, no one would ask too many questions about this morning. Below, some men were riding two horses now, a foot on each saddle, still at a dead gallop. Others had a man on their shoulders, sometimes in a handstand.
He looked around at the sound of a horse walking toward him. Deira ni Ghaline t’Bashere rode through the Aiel with seeming unconcern; armed only with a small knife at her silver belt, in a riding dress of gray silk embroidered in silver down the sleeves and on the high neck, she appeared to be daring them to attack her. As tall as many of the Maidens, nearly a hand taller than her husband, she was a big woman. Not stout, nor even plump; simply big. She had wings of white in her black hair, and her dark tilted eyes were fixed on Rand. He suspected she was a beautiful woman when his presence did not turn her face to granite.
“Is my husband . . . amusing you?” She never gave Rand a title, never used his name.
He looked at the other Saldaean women.  All they awaited was Deira’s command. He could well believe the stories of Saldaean women taking up fallen husbands’ swords and leading their men back into battle. Being pleasant had gotten him exactly nowhere with Bashere’s wife; Bashere himself only shrugged and said she was a difficult woman at times, all the while grinning with what could only be pride.
“Tell Lord Bashere I am pleased,” he said. Turning Jeade’en, he started back toward Caemlyn. The Saldaean women’s eyes seemed to press against his back.
Lews Therin was giggling; that was the only word for it. Never prod at a woman unless you must.
Are you really there? Rand demanded. Is there more to you than a voice? Only that soft, mad laughter answered.
He stewed over Lews Therin all the way back to Caemlyn, and even after they had ridden past one of the long markets of tile roofs lining the approaches to the gates and into the New City. He worried over going mad—not just the fact of it, though that was bad enough; if he went insane, how could he do what he had to do?—but he had seen no sign of it. But then, if his mind did crack, would he know it? He had never seen a madman. All he had to go by was Lews Therin maundering in his head. Did all men go mad alike? Would he end like that, laughing and weeping over things no one else saw or knew? He knew he had a chance to live, if a seemingly impossible one. If you would live, you must die; that was one of three things he knew must be true, told to him inside a ter’angreal where the answers were always true if apparently never easy to understand. But to live like that . . . he was not sure he would not rather die.
The crowds in the New City gave way before more than forty Aiel, and a handful recognized the Dragon Reborn as well. Maybe more did, but it was a ragged handful of cheers that went up as he rode by. “The Light shine on the Dragon Reborn!” and “The glory of the Light for the Dragon Reborn!” and “The Dragon Reborn, King of Andor!”
That last one jolted him whenever he heard it, and he heard it more than once. He had to find Elayne. He could feel his teeth grinding. He could not look at the people in the street; he wanted to smash them to their knees, roar at them that Elayne was their queen. Trying not to hear, he studied the sky, the rooftops, anything but the crowd. And that was why he saw the man in a white cloak rise up on a red-tiled rooftop and lift a crossbow.
Everything happened in heartbeats. Rand seized saidin and channeled as the bolt flew toward him; it struck Air, a silvery blue mass hanging above the street, with a clang as of metal against metal. A ball of fire leaped from Rand’s hand, struck the crossbowman in the chest as the bolt was bouncing away from the shield of Air. Flames engulfed the man, and he fell shrieking from the rooftop. And someone leaped into Rand, carrying him out of the saddle.
He hit the paving stones hard with a weight atop him; breath and saidin left him together. Struggling for air, he wrestled with the weight, wrenched it off—and found himself holding Desora by the arms.  Sightless blue eyes stared at him, already glazing. The crossbow bolt standing out from her ribs pressed against his wrist. Why had she ever wanted to hide such a beautiful smile?
 Shouts and screams rang everywhere, but the street was already clear for better than fifty paces either way, and then it was a milling mass of people struggling to get away. The street was clear except for bodies. Desora, and six others, three of them Aiel. One more a Maiden, he thought. It was hard to be sure from a distance with someone lying crumpled like a heap of rags.
Rand moved, and the Aiel around him pressed together more tightly, a wall of flesh. “These places are rabbit warrens,” Nandera said conversationally, without letting her eyes stop their search above her veil. “If you join the dance in there, you can take a blade in the back before you know there is danger.”
Caldin nodded. “This reminds me of a time near Sedar Cut, when—We have a prisoner, at least.” Some of his Hama N’dore had appeared from a tavern across the street, pushing ahead of them a man with his arms and elbows bound behind him. He continued to struggle until they shoved him to his knees on the paving stone and laid spearpoints against his throat. “Perhaps he will tell us who commanded this.” Caldin sounded as though he did not doubt it in the least.
A moment later Maidens came out of another building with a second bound man who was limping, his face covered in blood. In short order four men knelt in the street under Aiel guard. Finally the semicircle hemming Rand loosened.
The four were hard-faced men all, though the blood-smeared fellow swayed and rolled his eyes at the Aiel. Two others wore sullen defiance, the fourth a sneer.
Rand’s hands twitched. “Are you sure they were part of it?” He could not believe how soft his voice sounded, how steady. Balefire would solve everything. Not balefire, Lews Therin panted at him. Never again. “Are you sure?”
“They were,” a Maiden said; he could not see who, behind her veil. “Those we killed all wore this.” She tugged a cloak free from behind the bloodied man’s bound arms. A worn white cloak, grimy and stained, with a golden sunburst embroidered on the chest. The other three had them too.
“These were set to watch,” a broad Mountain Dancer added, “and report if the attack went badly for the others.” He laughed, a short bark. “Whoever sent them did not know how badly it would go.”
“None of these men fired a crossbow?” Rand asked. Balefire. No, Lews Therin shrieked in the distance. The Aiel exchanged glances, shook shoufa-wrapped heads. “Hang them,” Rand said. The bloody-faced man nearly collapsed. Rand seized him in flows of Air, dragged him to his feet. It was the first he realized that he held saidin. He welcomed the struggle for survival; he even welcomed the taint, staining his bones like acid slime. It made him less aware of things he would rather not remember, emotions he would rather not have. “What is your name?”
“F-Faral, m-my Lord. D-Dimir Faral.” Eyes almost popping out of his head stared at Rand through that mask of blood. “P-Please don’t h-hang me, m-my Lord. I’ll w-walk in the Light, I s-swear!”
“You are a very lucky man, Dimir Faral.” Rand’s voice sounded as distant in his own ears as Lews Therin’s cries. “You are going to watch your friends hang.” Faral began to weep. “Then you’ll be given a horse, and you will go tell Pedron Niall that one day I will hang him too for what happened here.” When he loosed the flows of Air, Faral collapsed in a heap, moaning that he would ride to Amador without stopping. The three who were to die stared contemptuously at the sobbing man. One of them spat at him.
Rand put them out of his mind. Niall was the only one he had to remember. There was something else he had to do yet. He pushed away saidin, went through the struggle to escape it without being obliterated, the struggle to make himself release it. For what he had to do, he wanted no screen between him and his emotions.
A Maiden was straightening Desora’s body; she had raised Desora’s veil. She reached to stop him when he touched that piece of black algode then hesitated, looking at his face, and settled back on her haunches.
Lifting the veil, he memorized Desora’s face. She looked as if she were sleeping now. Desora, of the Musara sept of the Reyn Aiel. So many names. Liah, of the Cosaida Chareen, and Dailin, of the Nine Valleys Taardad, and Lamelle, of the Smoke Water Miagoma, and . . . so many. Sometimes he ran down that list name by name. There was one name in it he had not added. Ilyena Therin Moerelle. He did not know how Lews Therin had put it there, but he would not have erased it if he knew how.
It was both an effort and a relief to turn away from Desora, a pure relief to find that what he had thought was a second dead Maiden was instead a man, short for an Aielman. He hurt for the men who died for him, but with them he could remember an old saying. “Let the dead rest, and care for the living.” Not easily, but he could make himself do it. He could not even make himself summon the words when it was a woman who had died.
Skirts spread on the paving stones caught his eye. Not only Aiel had died.
She had taken a crossbow bolt squarely between the shoulder blades.  Kneeling, he turned her over as gently as he could; the other end of the bolt stood out from her chest.  Her dark eyes were open wide; she looked surprised. He did not know her name, but he memorized her face. She had died for being on the same street with him.
He caught at Nandera’s arm, and she shook his hand free, not wanting the use of her bow impaired, but she did look at him. “Find this woman’s family and see they have whatever they need. Gold . . . ” It was not enough. What they needed was a wife back, a mother back; he could not give them that. “See to them,” he said. “And find out her name.”
 When he stood, the Maidens were watching him. Oh, they were watching everything as usual, but those veiled faces turned toward him a little more often. Sulin knew how he felt, if she did not know about the list, but he had no idea whether she had told the others. If she had, he had no idea how they felt about it.
Walking back to where he had fallen, he picked up the tasseled Dragon Scepter. Bending was an effort, and the short length of spear felt heavy. Jeade’en had not gone far once his saddle was empty; the horse was well trained. Rand climbed onto the dapple’s back. “I’ve done as much as I can here,” he said—let them think whatever they wanted—and dug in his heels.
If he could not outdistance memory, he outdistanced the Aiel. For a time at least. He had handed Jeade’en over to a stableman and was inside the Palace before Nandera and Caldin caught up to him, with about two-thirds the number of Maidens and Mountain Dancers they had had. Some had been left to care for the dead. Caldin looked sourly irritated. From the heat in Nandera’s eyes, Rand thought he should be glad she was not veiled.
Before she could speak, Mistress Harfor approached Rand and curtsied deeply. “My Lord Dragon,” she said in a deep, strong voice, “there is a petition for audience with you from the Wavemistress of Clan Catelar, of the Atha’an Miere.”
If the fine cut of Reene’s red-and-white dress was not enough to say that “first maid” was a misnomer, her manner certainly was. A slightly plump woman with graying hair and a long chin, she looked Rand right in the eye, tilting her head back to manage it, and somehow combined a proper degree of deference, an utter lack of obsequiousness, and an aloofness most noblewomen could not attain. Like Halwin Norry, she had stayed when most others fled, though Rand half-suspected that her motive had been to defend and preserve the Palace from invaders. He would not have been surprised to learn that she periodically searched his chambers for hidden Palace valuables. He would not have been surprised to learn she tried to search the Aiel.
“Sea Folk?” he said. “What do they want?”
She gave him a patient look, trying to make allowances. Very plainly trying. “The petition does not say, my Lord Dragon.”
If Moiraine had known anything about the Sea Folk, she had not made it part of his education, but from Reene’s attitude, this woman was important. A Wavemistress certainly sounded important. That would mean the Grand Hall. He had not been there since returning from Cairhien. Not that he had any reason to avoid the throne room; there just had been no need to go there. “This afternoon,” he said slowly. “Tell her I will see her in the mid-afternoon. You’ve given her good apartments? And her retinue?” He doubted anyone with so grand a title traveled alone.
“She refused them; they have taken rooms at The Ball and Hoop.” Her mouth flattened slightly; apparently, however lofty a Wavemistress, that was not proper in Reene Harfor’s eyes. “They were very dusty and travel-sore, hardly able to stand. They came by horse, not coach, and I do not believe they are used to horses.” She blinked as if surprised to have unbent that much, and regained her reserve like donning a cloak. “Someone else wishes to see you, my Lord Dragon.” Her tone picked up the faintest hint of distaste. “The Lady Elenia.”
Rand almost grimaced himself. No doubt Elenia had another lecture prepared on her claims to the Lion Throne; so far he had managed not to hear more than one word in three. She would be easy enough to turn down. Still, he really should know something of Andor’s history, and no one handy knew more of it than Elenia Sarand. “Send her to me in my rooms, please.”
“Do you really mean the Daughter-Heir to have the throne?” Reene’s tone was not harsh, but all deference was gone. Her face had not changed, yet Rand was sure that with a wrong answer she would shout “For Elayne and the White Lion!” and try to bash his brains in, Aiel or no Aiel.
“I do,” he sighed. “The Lion Throne is Elayne’s. By the Light and my hope of rebirth and salvation, it is.”
Reene studied him a moment, then spread her skirts in another deep curtsy.  Her back was stiff as she glided away, but it always was; there were no telling whether she believed a word.
“A crafty enemy,” Caldin said heatedly before Reene had gone five paces, “will set a weak ambush you are meant to break through. Confident because you have dealt with the threat, your guard relaxed, you walk into the second, stronger ambush.”
Right on top of Caldin, Nandera said in a cold voice, “Young men can be impetuous, young men can be rash, young men can be fools, but the Car’a’carn cannot let himself be a young man.”
Rand glanced over his shoulder before starting off, just long enough to say, “We’re back inside the Palace now. Choose your two.” It was little surprise that Nandera and Caldin chose themselves, and none at all that they strode after him wrapped in a hard silence.
At the door to his apartments, he told them to send Elenia in when she came and left them in the corridor. There was plum punch in a silver-chased pitcher waiting, but he did not touch it. Instead he stood staring at it, trying to plan out what he was going to say, until he realized what he was doing and grunted in surprise. What was there to plan?
A tap at the door announced honey-haired Elenia, who swept a curtsy in a dress worked with golden roses. On any other woman, Rand would have thought they were just roses; on Elenia, they had to stand for the Rose Crown. “My Lord Dragon is most gracious to receive me.”
“I want to ask you some things about Andor’s history,” Rand said. “Will you take plum punch?”
Elenia’s eyes widened in delight before she could stop them. Undoubtedly she had planned how to work Rand around to this in order to lead into her claims, and here it was handed to her. A smile bloomed on her foxlike face. “May I have the honor of pouring for my Lord Dragon?” she said, not waiting for him to wave his assent. She was so pleased with the turn of events that he almost expected her to press him into a chair and urge him to put his feet up. “Upon what point of history may I shed light?”
“A general sort of . . . ” Rand frowned; that would give the excuse to be listing her ancestry in detail inside of two sentences “ . . . that is, how Souran Maravaile came to bring his wife here. Was he from Caemlyn?”
“Ishara brought Souran, my Lord Dragon.” Elenia’s smile turned briefly indulgent. “Ishara’s mother was Endara Casalain, who was Artur Hawkwing’s governor here then—the province was called Andor—and also the daughter of Joal Ramedar, the last King of Aldeshar. Souran was only . . . only a general”—she had been going to say a commoner; he would have wagered on it—“though Hawkwing’s finest, of course. Endara resigned her warrant and knelt to Ishara as Queen.” Somehow, Rand did not believe it had happened quite that way, or so smoothly. “They were the worst of times, of course, quite as bad as the Trolloc Wars, I am sure. With Hawkwing dead, every noble thought to become High King. Or High Queen. Ishara knew that no one would be able to take it all, though; there were too many factions, and alliances broke as soon as made. She convinced Souran to raise the siege of Tar Valon, and brought him and as much of his army as he could hold together here.”
“Souran Maravaile was the one besieging Tar Valon?” Rand said, startled. Artur Hawkwing had laid a twenty-year siege against Tar Valon, and put a price on the head of every Aes Sedai.
“The final year of it,” she said, a touch impatiently, “as nearly as the histories record.” It was plain she had little real interest in Souran except as Ishara’s husband. “Ishara was wise. She promised the Aes Sedai that her eldest daughter would be sent to study in the White Tower, thus gaining the Tower’s backing and an Aes Sedai advisor named Ballair, the first ruler to do so. Others did follow, of course, but they still wanted Hawkwing’s throne.”  Words bubbled out.  Esmara was assassinated in the end, though there is no record of why anyone would want her dead once Telaisien broke her power. You see, the Queens who came after Ishara, from Alesinde to Lyndelle, followed what she had begun, and not only in sending a daughter to the Tower. Ishara had Souran secure the land around Caemlyn first, only a few villages in the beginning, then slowly expanded her control. Why, it took five years for her sway to reach the River Erinin. But the land that Andor’s Queens held was solidly theirs when most others who called themselves kings or queens were still more interested in gaining new lands than in solidifying what they already had.”
She paused for breath, and Rand leaped in quickly. Elenia spoke of these people as if she knew them personally, but his head was spinning with names he had never heard before. “Why is there no House Maravaile?”
“None of Ishara’s sons lived past twenty.” Elenia shrugged and sipped her punch; the subject did not interest her. But it did give her a new topic. “Nine queens reigned over the course of the War of the Hundred Years, and none had a son live beyond twenty-three. The battles were constant, and Andor was pressed from every side. Why, in Maragaine’s reign, four kings brought armies against her—there is a town named for the battle, on the site. The kings were—”
“But all the queens have been descendants of Souran and Ishara?” Rand put in quickly. The woman would give him a day-by-day account if he let her. Sitting, he motioned her to take a chair.
“Yes,” she said reluctantly. Probably reluctant to include Souran. But she brightened immediately. “You see, it is a matter of how much of Ishara’s blood one has. How many lines connect you to her, and in what degree. In my case—”
“It isn’t easy for me to understand. For example, take Tigraine and Morgase. Morgase had the best claim to succeed Tigraine. I suppose that means Morgase and Tigraine were closely related?”
“They were cousins.” Elenia made an effort to hide her irritation over being interrupted so often, especially now that she was so close to the heart of what she wanted to say, but her mouth still narrowed. She looked like a fox that wanted to bite, but the chicken kept slipping just out of reach.
“I see.” Cousins. Rand drank deeply, half-emptying his goblet.
“We are all cousins. All the Houses.” His silence seemed to invigorate her. Her smile returned. “With marriages over a thousand years, there is not a House without some drop of Ishara’s blood. But the degree is what is important, that and the number of connecting lines. In my case—”
Rand blinked. “You’re all cousins? All of you? That doesn’t seem poss—” He leaned forward intently. “Elenia, if Morgase and Tigraine had been . . . merchants, or farmers . . . how closely would they have been related?”
“Farmers?” she exclaimed, staring at him.  She wet her lips, a nervous flicker of the tongue. “I suppose . . . I should have to think. Farmers. I suppose that means imagining all the Houses as farmers.” A nervous titter broke from her before she drowned it in her punch. “Had they been farmers, I don’t think anyone would consider them related at all. All the connections are too far back. But they were not, my Lord Dragon . . . ”
He stopped listening with more than half an ear and sank back in his chair. Not related.
“ . . . have thirty-one lines to Ishara, while Dyelin has only thirty, and . . . ”
Why did he feel so relaxed suddenly? Knots had vanished from his muscles that he had not even known were there until they went.
“ . . . if I may say so, my Lord Dragon.”
“What? Forgive me. My mind wandered for a moment—the problems of . . . I missed the last thing you said.” There had been something in it that had tugged at his ear, though.
Elenia wore the obsequious, flattering smile that looked so strange on her face. “Why, I was just saying that you yourself bear some resemblance to Tigraine, my Lord Dragon.
“I . . . feel a little tired.” He tried to make his voice normal, but it sounded as distant as if he were deep in the Void. “If you would leave me, please.”
He did not know how his face looked, but Elenia bounced out of her chair, hurried to set her goblet on the table. She was trembling, and if her face had been bloodless before, now it looked like snow. Dropping a curtsy deep enough for a scullery maid caught stealing, she hurried toward the door, each step faster than the last, all the while watching him over her shoulder, until she tore the door open and the sound of running slippers receded down the hall. Nandera put her head in, checking on him, before pulling the door shut.
For a long time Rand stood staring at nothing. No wonder those ancient queens had been staring at him; they knew what he was thinking when he did not himself. That sudden worm of worry that had gnawed at him unseen since he discovered his mother’s real name. But Tigraine had not been related to Morgase. His mother had not been related to Elayne’s mother. He was not related to . . .
“You’re worse than a lecher,” he said aloud, bitterly.  ” He wished Lews Therin would speak, so he could say to himself, That is a madman; I am sane. Was it those dead rulers of Andor he felt staring at him, or was it Alanna? Striding to the door, he jerked it open. Nandera and Caldin were sitting on their heels beneath a tapestry of brightly colored birds. “Assemble your people,” he told them. “I’m going to Cairhien. Please don’t tell Aviendha.”

Chocolate Pizza
POSTED IN 15 DEC 2013 / DESSERTS
for the fig-swirl: Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add brown sugar and stir to dessolve. Halve all of the figs and toss in the saucepan with water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until you have chunky-jammy mixture. Add salt with one or two stirs, set aside and let cool completely.
Ice cream: In a small pot over medium heat, combine milk, and granulated sugar until sugar is completely disolved and the milk is just barely lukewarm. Whisk in the egg yolks. Set mixture in the fridge and wait until the fig mixture is cooled.
Using an ice cream machine, pour liquids into the frozen bassin and process according to manufacturer instruction, i.e., let spin and thicken for 20 minutes before adding mascarpone, fig jam mixture and the nuts. Continue process for +/- 10 minutes. Pour semi.frozen mixture into a pyrex dish or glass tupperware. Freeze for at least two hours before serving.

Using the selection(solution* pop) function to choose two solutions as parents in population.Randomly decide if the parents should crossover. In this project, we set the rate of the crossover is 0.8. You can change the rate by by yourself. If they don’t cross, they both go to the next step unchanged. If they are to cross, a random point in the vector is chosen and all of the values before that point are swapped with the corresponding points in the other vector.After cross over, store the two curit_vector in child_1 and child_2 respectively.

What is Torque 2D?
A game engine dedicated to 2D game and app development featuring
full source code access, WYSIWYG editors, a simple scripting language
and support for many Windows and Mac features.
How much does Torque 2D cost?
$128
Do I have to pay for each game I make or pay royalties?
No. Pay $128 once, release as many games as you want royalty free.
What is the latest version of the engine?
1.7.6
Can I make non-game applications for
Windows or the Mac with this engine?
Yes you can. The GarageGames EULA specifically states you can make non-game applications.
Can I make 3D games with this engine?
Unfortunately no. We do not currently offer a 3D iPhone engine.
Why do I get the "Unable to open project" message when I try to load a project?
This is a Windows security issue. UAC is preventing Torque 2D from
saving out the necessary files required to create and open projects. To
resolve this issue, you must go through the following steps on Windows 7
or Windows Vista:
1. Please navigate to the target file/folder.
2. Right-click on the file/folder and choose Properties.
3. Click the "Security" tab and see if your current user is
listed in the "Group or user names" list. If not, please click Edit->
Add button, type the name of your current user in the "Enter the object
names to select " box, then click "OK" to add this group.
4. Select the user from the list and then check the "Allow" checkbox next to "Full Control".
You can learn more about the solution in this thread: http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/119243
Why do my images show in the editor, but not in the game?
You need to add your imageMaps to the level's datablocks file. You
can do this using the Level Datablocks Editor. Once you have added them,
you will be able to see your images during game play. You can see an
example of this in the Rainy Day tutorial.
The Level Datablocks system is an optimization feature. When you are
editing your project in the Torque 2D Editor, all of the sprites,
animations, scrollers, tilemaps and so on are loaded into memory at all
times. However, you may not need all of them for every single level.
For example, you may only need four specific sprites and
animations for one level, then a completely separate set in another
level. The Level Datablocks editor allows you to manually control what
gets loaded on a per-level basis, thus reducing the overall memory
consumption of your game.
How do I create new level datablocks files?
Each level needs to have its own datablocks file. Typically, the
editor will create the file automatically when you create a new level.
If you are porting an older project, you will need to manually create
the file. For example, let's say you create a new level called
myLevel.t2d. You should create a myLevel_datablocks.cs file in
level/datablocks directory. Simply creating the file will link it to
your project and the Level Datablock Editor will handle the rest.
Why can't I see sprites larger than the camera area?
This is an optimization that can be toggled on and off. The
optimization prevents unnecessary rendering of objects outside of the
camera view, but it is applied to any sprite that is outside the
boundaries (regardless of it being inside as well). Here are the steps
to disable this optimization:

Why do my particles stop working off screen?
See above answer.
Do we still use behaviors? What do we use instead?
Yes, behaviors are still used. Any behaviors added to the folder
named "behaviors" in your game's projectFiles/scripts/ directory. Any
behavior scripts you put in that folder will automatically load into the
engine.
How can I make my game run faster?
There are several methods of optimization. The following tips are not
always required, but you can cherry pick from them to see if they
improve your games' performance:
- Try to keep your individual art files square and at a power of two resolution (64x64, 128x128, 256x256, etc)
- Extremely complex and math heavy code is best kept in C++.
Native code, such as C++, will always execute faster than a scripting
language. TorqueScript is still useful for creating game play, but
sometimes it is worth diving into C++ to create the complex parts
- Combine images together into an "atlas". If you have four
images that are all static (not animated) and can fit in a 512x512 or
lower image, you should use the UnChaos tool. You can find this in the
tools folder where you installed Torque 2D. This tool will create a new
image file (png) containing your selected sprites and arrange them in
an optimal way. You will be provided with texture coordinates, which are
fed into the Source Rect property of a sprite in the editor.
- When you can, pool objects. For example, let's say your game
has enemies spawn off screen and move into the camera view. The player
is able to destroy these enemies, thus removing them from the scene.
Rather than delete those objects, disable their visibility and move them
off screen. From there, reset their state or restore their original
values then send them back at the player. This avoids constantly
creating and destroying objects, which will use less of the CPU and
memory.
When is the next update?
GarageGames does not provide exact dates for product releases. You
can track progress on development in the Torque 2D forums, where we
will reveal new features, new documentation and some plans for the
future.
When will "X" feature be in the engine?
Anytime you see a feature in another engine that is
not supported in Torque 2D, feel free to post a suggestion in our
forums. When a demand becomes popular amongst the community, there is a
good chance it will rise in our priority for a future release.
How can I contribute to Torque 2D?
GarageGames has the best developer community you will find on the
web. We always appreciate people who are willing to give back to the
engine. If you have a sample game or code you want to share, jump to our
resource section of the site to post it for everyone to enjoy.
If you are in a helping mood, lurk in our IRC channel to talk to other
developers and help solve problems. This is a live chat room where
experienced Torque 2D users and GarageGames employees lurk, waiting to
help those with emergency problems.
The forums are perhaps our best support tool. Just by asking a question
and getting an answer, you will help everyone else who might run into
the same problem. Don't be shy, join the employees and your fellow
Torque developers at GarageGames.com. You're always welcome.
If you think you have what it takes to be a part of GarageGames and join
the Torque 2D engine team, you can find a list of open positions we
are hiring for on our Jobs page. If you find you are qualified for one
of the positions, do not hesitate to contact us and send in a resume. We
