Devathon Public Discord Chat

Scarsz lol 04-Nov-16 01:49 AM

Can we use external libraries? No. If the library you're wanting is packaged into the provided Spigot jar you are allowed to use that. (for example, Spigot uses gson, you can use the gson packaged into Spigot's jar). (edited)

Can we take small snippets of code from StackOverflow? Yes as long as you type out the solution by hand- no copy + pasting.

How often does code have to be committed + pushed? Often enough that you aren't sending a tsunami of code to GitHub every time you push. Try to commit at milestones like when you fix something or a new feature is added.

I have a class (from Spigot/GitHub Gist/etc.) that'll help me make the plugin. Am I allowed to use it? As long as you type it, yes. Once again, no copy + pasting.

Will the plugins need to be compatible with so many game/Bukkit/Spigot versions? What versions are required to be stable? You only need to target the jar that is given at the start of the event, likely the latest version of Spigot.

Where is the code going to? Should I make my own repo for the event? No. You will be marked as a collaborator on a repository owned by the Devathon GitHub organization. You'll have write permission to that repo- that's where you'll push your code.

What time does the event start? Is it different per timezone? Devathon starts on November 5th at 8AM CST; translate that to your timezone for the local time of it starting. Multiple topics will not be held for different timezones. (see http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/) (edited)

I have a library that I wrote previously. Can I use that in the event? No unless you type the entire thing over again. If it's some huge library with a bunch of classes you're better off just taking the bare minimum of what you need and typing it into new helper methods in your event project's code.

What's the event's theme for the plugins? This will be announced when the event starts.

Scarsz lol 04-Nov-16 02:13 AM

What will the theme be like? Vague, very vague. For instance: dragons. Want to create ridable, fire breathing dragons? Go ahead. Choice is yours, just has to relate to that central yet vague idea.

Cameron 04-Nov-16 09:52 AM

How is the code judged? (Quality, efficiency, design, complexity, etc..)

benn 04-Nov-16 08:16 PM

"as long as you type it" "no copy and pasting" just seems like busy work lol

Cameron 04-Nov-16 08:17 PM

Fair trade I guess

I can compromise on that

Innectic 04-Nov-16 09:44 PM

Am I allowed to create my repo, and write a readme before the contest starts?

Scarsz lol 04-Nov-16 09:57 PM

read the faq right above

Innectic 04-Nov-16 10:03 PM

Oh, when I first read that, I must have skipped over it

sothatsit 05-Nov-16 12:16 AM

With the "Code will be pushed regularly", what if we sleep in the middle of it

Blake Gaming 05-Nov-16 12:17 AM

I guess that would only apply if you are working on it, you should push at milestones.

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 12:18 AM

The code needs to be pushed regularly while you work on it.

While you aren't working on it, there's nothing to even push ;p

sothatsit 05-Nov-16 12:18 AM

so, you can take a sleep break in the middle of it

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 12:18 AM

Yes.

It is not a mandatory 24 hours

As long as it is done and working by the end, all is good

Blake Gaming 05-Nov-16 12:19 AM

15 minutes of writing code. 4 hours 45 minutes of debugging.

I'm using only 5 hours

Scarsz lol 05-Nov-16 12:19 AM

I love how a FAQ answer channel has turned into a Q&A channel

Blake Gaming 05-Nov-16 12:19 AM

Same here!

Q: Why are there 2 gmem's? A: ?!??!??!?!

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 12:27 AM

Why the hell not

Blake Gaming 05-Nov-16 12:28 AM

Why not have more?

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 12:29 AM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blake Gaming 05-Nov-16 12:29 AM

We need more

what is a gmem? (edited)

oh xD

Scarsz lol 05-Nov-16 12:35 AM

please take the conversation to #general

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 07:07 AM

To add on to what @Deleted User was saying earlier, you also don't need to finish. If you end up not finishing, that's ok.

Markcreator 05-Nov-16 07:08 AM

As long as it compiles, right?

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 07:09 AM

Yep

(edited)

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:11 AM

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:11 AM

Oh god damn it!

Right, let's move to #general

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 07:11 AM

I mean you already get this written for you, so you're kind of half done https://i.imgur.com/CTI7ttQ.png

yeah why are we in #faq lol

Cameron 05-Nov-16 07:12 AM

@Paul Sauve is that GitHub's theme or an IntelliJ one?

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 07:14 AM

github

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:38 AM

when we push, how should we do so? do we each push to our branch?

Cameron 05-Nov-16 07:39 AM

You will get your own repository

From what I heard

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:39 AM

ok

boomboompower 05-Nov-16 07:40 AM

@Deleted User program will automatically make a repo in the Devathon group

you will have write access etc

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:40 AM

Yep every person gets a repo, so just push to the master branch in there

ah

korstmos 05-Nov-16 07:40 AM

It's all fine to join in a bit later, right?

Evoltr 05-Nov-16 07:40 AM

Yeah

korstmos 05-Nov-16 07:41 AM

Aight

boomboompower 05-Nov-16 07:41 AM

don't you need to join before the contest starts?

(20 mins)

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:41 AM

You can start work anytime after the content starts

Oliver 05-Nov-16 07:42 AM

Will our .jar be the Spigot-API or actually Spigot?

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:42 AM

It's maven so no jar

boomboompower 05-Nov-16 07:42 AM

@Oliver you will be able to use NMS

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:42 AM

But it likely will be Spigot

You can always change the pom.xml anyway

Oliver 05-Nov-16 07:42 AM

We can't

Wes 05-Nov-16 07:43 AM

and get disqalified for using a different version??????

boomboompower 05-Nov-16 07:43 AM

don't think you should

^ @Wes

sothatsit 05-Nov-16 07:43 AM

Good question: Are we allowed NMS?

boomboompower 05-Nov-16 07:43 AM

@sothatsit yes

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:43 AM

use what ever you get with maven

Oliver 05-Nov-16 07:43 AM

I was just wondering as presumably we can use NMS, in which case we must be getting a full Spigot build. I thought they couldn't be distributed though.

boomboompower 05-Nov-16 07:44 AM

do you even maven

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:44 AM

You don't get the jar file

Wes 05-Nov-16 07:44 AM

@Oliver we get a build script so I'm sure it will create one for us if we even get one

MatthewE 05-Nov-16 07:44 AM

When do I get my repo

Oliver 05-Nov-16 07:44 AM

@boomboompower Maven still requires access to a hosted version of the jar.

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 07:44 AM

@MatthewE As soon as the event starts

sothatsit 05-Nov-16 07:44 AM

Oliver, it will use the one from build tools i assume

or they have some external jar hosted somewhere

boomboompower 05-Nov-16 07:45 AM

@Evoltr ^ ?

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 08:34 AM

Can we commit a specific world to go with our project?

?

sothatsit 05-Nov-16 08:39 AM

Can we change the package?

Cameron 05-Nov-16 08:51 AM

@Paul Sauve am i allowed to use foul language in my commits?

benn 05-Nov-16 08:51 AM

Cameron 05-Nov-16 08:51 AM

lmao

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 09:23 AM

Can we use head textures others have made? Or do we need to make our own

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 09:27 AM

What are you talking about?

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

Head textures

benn 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

like custom human skulls (edited)

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

You can use head textures

tmxx 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

Are we allowed to use Lombok?

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

it's a programming contest

Deleted User 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

Ok. good

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

@tmxx We were going to allow it, but since we didn't it's not allowed

tmxx 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

Okay fine

benn 05-Nov-16 09:28 AM

@tmxx, alt-insert on intellij

generate all of the things

tmxx 05-Nov-16 09:29 AM

I know, thanks

Land 05-Nov-16 09:32 AM

How can I auto import suggestions on IntelliJ?

benn 05-Nov-16 09:36 AM

Settings > Editor > General > Auto Import

play with those settings to fit to your liking @Land

Land 05-Nov-16 09:37 AM

Cool, thanks.

Kisu 05-Nov-16 10:44 AM

Are we allowed to edit the readme, or should we create a seperate file for notes and stuff?

Land 05-Nov-16 10:45 AM

You might just want to create a Notes.txt or something to be safe - not my decision tho

boomboompower 05-Nov-16 10:48 AM

@Kisu I would suggest not editing that

Kisu 05-Nov-16 10:48 AM

ok for now I'll make a separate file then

Kisu 05-Nov-16 10:57 AM

One more question - resourcepacks? Can we create a resource pack to go along with the plugin like they do on Hypixel? (I'm assuming no) @Paul Sauve (edited)

Autom 05-Nov-16 10:58 AM

i don't see why not

Florian 05-Nov-16 10:58 AM

Should code be commented?

Evoltr 05-Nov-16 11:05 AM

Well we're not really looking at textures so it isn't really neccesary but if you want to do it go ahead

Kisu 05-Nov-16 11:05 AM

ok cool, thanks

sherp 05-Nov-16 11:31 AM

textures take a lot of time normally

Andrew 🦃 05-Nov-16 12:01 PM

If people wanted to, could they still join?

Kisu 05-Nov-16 12:05 PM

@Andrew 🦃 I believe paul said no-one can join after the start time

Calucon 05-Nov-16 12:05 PM

*unless they signed up before the constes has started

if you signed up in time there's a repo waiting for you on github

Kisu 05-Nov-16 12:06 PM

^^

JamesJ 05-Nov-16 12:07 PM

It says "No public libraries". What if they're made by us previously?

Wes 05-Nov-16 12:07 PM

then you have to rewrite them by hand

Kisu 05-Nov-16 12:07 PM

somewhere they said that isn't allowed either

Wes 05-Nov-16 12:07 PM

or not use them

Kisu 05-Nov-16 12:07 PM

unless you re-write them

like wes said

Wes 05-Nov-16 12:07 PM

I really would like to use AnvilGUI but whatevs

\o/

Kisu 05-Nov-16 12:08 PM

@Wes I wanted to use it too

JamesJ 05-Nov-16 12:09 PM

fml. alrighty then.

wait are libraries included in spigot itself allowed?

Scarsz lol 05-Nov-16 12:14 PM

yes

@JamesJ

JamesJ 05-Nov-16 12:14 PM

oh thank god

Land 05-Nov-16 12:14 PM

No, you have to recode Spigot.

JamesJ 05-Nov-16 12:14 PM

no idea mean like the libraries included by spigot

i.e, google common

Land 05-Nov-16 12:15 PM

k jk

Scarsz lol 05-Nov-16 12:15 PM

yes

Florian 05-Nov-16 12:24 PM

Is there a list of evaluation criteria? ._.

benn 05-Nov-16 12:24 PM

not that I know of

just make what you want

then you'll see what happens

Florian 05-Nov-16 12:24 PM

xD

I hope it's more about good code than good idea. (edited)

Scarsz lol 05-Nov-16 12:27 PM

isn't

@Florian

Florian 05-Nov-16 12:27 PM

?

Scarsz lol 05-Nov-16 12:27 PM

@Paul Sauve has already said code quality is not being judged

it's about the functionality

who has the best idea, who makes the best stuff actually happen

Florian 05-Nov-16 12:27 PM

rip

I thought it's more like your get "points" for different criteria like codeStyle, idea, efficiency, etc.

william 05-Nov-16 01:45 PM

Do we have to use the repo setup? (edited)

like run-server etc

JamesJ 05-Nov-16 01:45 PM

i think its there to help u

i didnt use it

oops

Kisu 05-Nov-16 01:46 PM

I used it and after doing the maven fix in #announcements it's been working great (edited)

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 01:58 PM

if your code compiles with mvn install then you're good. (edited)

william 05-Nov-16 01:59 PM

how to close the run-server script on mac

(when server is running)

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 01:59 PM

it's all in the readme

william 05-Nov-16 02:00 PM

in server console?

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 02:00 PM

yes

william 05-Nov-16 02:00 PM

interesting

this doesnt run build tools again does it

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 02:01 PM

nope

william 05-Nov-16 02:01 PM

k kewl

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 02:01 PM

Fine by me

Cameron 05-Nov-16 04:08 PM

Notoh 05-Nov-16 04:18 PM

@Evoltr will documentation/readability of our code factor into our score

Kisu 05-Nov-16 04:23 PM

then I should get bonus points for my runtime generated in-game wiki in a book

no

they just can't help with the development

Andy_ 05-Nov-16 06:20 PM

Are there any licenses we should be using for these projects? Presuming GPLv3 should be fine, jus' want to make sure that won't get in the way of anything

MiniDigger 05-Nov-16 06:23 PM

you need to use a license that allows the judges to run your plugin, that's alll

Pollitoyeye 05-Nov-16 06:25 PM

Are we allowed to post the plugin in spigot during the contest?

flying gorilla 05-Nov-16 06:27 PM

Yeah sure

sherp 05-Nov-16 07:46 PM

plugin is ours to modify then

you guys have no rights to it correct?

Scarsz lol 05-Nov-16 07:55 PM

whatever you give them ian

put a license in the repo

@sherp

sherp 05-Nov-16 08:18 PM

ok

im too lazy to do a license

and I don't really want to keep it anyway

just was curious

thanks @Scarsz lol

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 10:06 PM

This is the first, of hopefully many!

We have a few sponsors that wanted to stay private

Kisu 05-Nov-16 10:07 PM

You would think that they would want people to know who they where

dean 05-Nov-16 10:13 PM

Yeah that seems weird

private sponsors

Florian 05-Nov-16 10:19 PM

Should I write craft receipes into readme or will you find it yourself in code? :p

It's not allowed in the rules, so it's not allowed

Kenny was mistaken

𝙹𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚊𝚗 06-Nov-16 01:41 AM

Paul Sauve 06-Nov-16 01:41 AM

IntelliJ's lombok plugin has an auto converter if you accidentally used it

𝙹𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚊𝚗 06-Nov-16 01:42 AM

Using eclipse sadly

np

Still can't understand why it's not allowed

Lombok make the code easier to read

Pollitoyeye 06-Nov-16 04:23 AM

Does anybody know when the winners will be announced? (Estimated)

Desetude 06-Nov-16 04:27 AM

@Paul Sauve If/When you go through mine, make sure you read the README

Calucon 06-Nov-16 05:19 AM

@Evoltr i've added a tiny description in the Readme, but i've also implemented a tutorial in my plugin. is that fine aswell or should i describe it with more detail in the readme?

Evoltr 06-Nov-16 05:19 AM

No that is fine as well

OscarWoHA 06-Nov-16 05:20 AM

@Evoltr Does it have to be in the Readme?

I have made an INSTRUCTIONS.MD-file

Evoltr 06-Nov-16 05:20 AM

Oh yeah that is fine

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 06:32 AM

damnit i have 1 hour left to finish my whole thing

stupid alarm clock

MiniDigger 06-Nov-16 07:41 AM

will the jury write something about every contestant or just announce the winner and the follow ups?

CodeBeasty 06-Nov-16 07:43 AM

Gyllie² 06-Nov-16 07:45 AM

sothatsit 06-Nov-16 07:45 AM

Are you going to make a video showing off the top 3 and honorable mentions and how are you going to tell us who won? Announcements? (edited)

OscarWoHA 06-Nov-16 07:55 AM

What are your estimates on how long the judging will last?

(edited)

Evoltr 06-Nov-16 07:56 AM

We will write something positive about their entry and some feedback on what to do better(if there is any)

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 07:57 AM

Good point

@Evoltr do you also take crafting recipes in json format? xD

Bascically, can i tell you to look at the config file?

Evoltr 06-Nov-16 07:58 AM

sure

MiniDigger 06-Nov-16 07:58 AM

guess they will test every feature

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 07:58 AM

Good

MiniDigger 06-Nov-16 07:58 AM

so if you mention it in the readme you are fine

Evoltr 06-Nov-16 07:59 AM

yup

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 07:59 AM

From readme "Recipes can be found and modified in server/DevathonPlugin/machines.json"

lol

i'm gonna read it

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 08:01 AM

lol

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 08:01 AM

assuming its in nbt format

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 08:02 AM

MinniDigger, well for a config file nbt is a bit sub-optimal

Florian 06-Nov-16 08:48 AM

Where will we get a response? Email, Repo?

@Evoltr (taggin u since other judges seem to be judging) (edited)

Evoltr 06-Nov-16 08:48 AM

Florian 06-Nov-16 08:49 AM

Meh, I never watch my emails xD

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 08:49 AM

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 08:49 AM

i've been watching it since I want intellij ultimate for students

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 08:50 AM

Andrew, don't you get an instant notification if your domain is whitelisted?

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 08:50 AM

?

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 08:50 AM

When requesting intellij ultimate

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 08:50 AM

lol

so i sent a pic of my student card for middle school

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 08:51 AM

I'm in highschool and university

That works?

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 09:10 AM

i've waited a week

and it didnt work

Are staff judging right now? (edited)

Land 06-Nov-16 09:18 AM

Probably

sherp 06-Nov-16 09:33 AM

You get free IntelliJ ultimate if ur a student???

benn 06-Nov-16 09:34 AM

mhm

Mikeyy 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

O how would I do that??

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

google intellij for students

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

@sherp you get all intellij products for free as a student

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

theres 3 methods to get it

a .edu email

a school thingy

benn 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

a school thingy

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

lol

rip

benn 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

go here https://www.jetbrains.com/student/

Free for students: Professional developer tools from JetBrains

JetBrains, Inc. is a technology-leading software development company specializing in the creation of intelligent development tools.

Yamakaja 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

Not necessarily an .edu mail. For me a normal university.(de) mail worked

benn 06-Nov-16 09:37 AM

follow the instructions

ez pz

sherp 06-Nov-16 09:38 AM

I have a school card

I already did the github student thing

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 09:38 AM

they take scanned copeis of it

sherp 06-Nov-16 09:38 AM

Now to apply for IntelliJ I guess

Andrew 🦃 06-Nov-16 09:38 AM

if theres a certain type of code on it, u can type it in

ISIC/ITIC (edited)

sherp 06-Nov-16 09:38 AM

I took a pic of it for GitHub

And they accepted it

Mikeyy 06-Nov-16 02:00 PM

I can't apply for it cause I don't have a edu email j just have a .net email from my school

Scarsz lol 06-Nov-16 02:00 PM

I have this

https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/

JetBrains Toolbox: The right tool for the job — every time!

dean 06-Nov-16 03:05 PM

Deleted User 07-Nov-16 09:18 AM

I have a <school>.<area>.sch.uk email

JamesJ 07-Nov-16 10:50 AM

same

Florian 07-Nov-16 01:21 PM

Any news about the winners?

Kisu 07-Nov-16 01:23 PM

@Florian someone said that it will probably take a few weeks

Florian 07-Nov-16 01:29 PM

MiniDigger 07-Nov-16 01:39 PM

60 projects to judge m8 :D

sherp 07-Nov-16 02:33 PM

mine doesn't have to be judged

i get last

send me a shirt

done

i tooke 90 minutes to make mine cuz i had to work

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:34 PM

I don't care if I lose, I'm still proud of what I made in just ~5 & 1/2 hours

sherp 07-Nov-16 02:34 PM

what'd ya make?

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:34 PM

Something sort of similar to what Cryptkeeper made (no zombies though, no AI)

it's a Minecraft PVP "bot"

sherp 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

that's still pretty sweet

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

thanks

it even plays the ender dragon death effect when it dies xd

sherp 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

xd

LoonyRules 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

But does it learn from your actions?

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

No.

I didn't have time to do that.

LoonyRules 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

Then it's just a simple targetting system

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

Pretty much. It still works pretty well though.

LoonyRules 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

Gj

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:35 PM

I mean

The code is absolute trash

(not all of it, but some of it) (edited)

LoonyRules 07-Nov-16 02:36 PM

I know how you feel

sherp 07-Nov-16 02:36 PM

they don't judge code so no worries

LoonyRules 07-Nov-16 02:36 PM

When I start coding things the code is great, then I get bored and go on a 'fuck it' sort of thing (edited)

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:37 PM

i'm remaking my pvp bot, so i'll probably try to add AI and stuff

LoonyRules 07-Nov-16 02:37 PM

Well, only if the code doesn't have to be really efficient. Otherwise I make it nice and stuff obviously

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:38 PM

I once coded a tool to scrape a Minecraft server list. Took me ~12 hrs

And it was actually decent

LoonyRules 07-Nov-16 02:38 PM

This server syncing thing I'm doing started off nicely, then I got bored of (de)serilization and been sat here looking at 3 mc instances for the past like hour

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:38 PM

Then I refactored it, made it "nicer", added support for multiple lists, etc

LoonyRules 07-Nov-16 02:39 PM

we probably shouldn't be talking in faq

heyitsleo 07-Nov-16 02:39 PM

yea lol

MiniDigger 07-Nov-16 02:50 PM

@sherp why do you think that they don't judge code? this is a coding contest, lol

Land 07-Nov-16 04:32 PM

@MiniDigger do they tell you if yours is judged? I don't see anything at the moment

sherp 07-Nov-16 04:41 PM

@MiniDigger one of the organizers said they wouldn't

Markcreator 07-Nov-16 04:42 PM

Will each entry get personalized feedback?

Gyllie² 07-Nov-16 04:59 PM

they were going to give everyone feedback

Markcreator 07-Nov-16 05:01 PM

That sounds nice. I'd love to hear what was enjoyed, or even more important, what could be improved on!

sothatsit 07-Nov-16 07:15 PM

@sherp one of the organisers said they were going to check code

sherp 07-Nov-16 07:38 PM

Oh

Paul Sauve 11-Nov-16 11:47 AM

Each judge will give feedback on your project in 3 categories.

We have over 200 projects to look over, so it will be a while before we can come out with results.

Markcreator 11-Nov-16 11:48 AM

Have these 3 categories been published?

Paul Sauve 11-Nov-16 11:58 AM

no

Markcreator 11-Nov-16 12:00 PM

Very well. I'm looking forward to see the results!

Paul Sauve 11-Nov-16 12:02 PM

Yep. Hoping to get them done within the next month, but we'll see.

Pollitoyeye 11-Nov-16 01:19 PM

Lol I can't imagen how many submisions can exist if there's a second devathon.

MiniDigger 11-Nov-16 01:34 PM

there are not 200 submissions tho, only like ~70 repos have commits and ~10 of those have only one or two commits

Deleted User 11-Nov-16 02:55 PM

64 repos IIRC

Paul Sauve 17-Nov-16 09:20 PM

@Deleted User There's 237 total

and we're looking over them because i'm too lazy to write another script that checks if they have more than 1 commit

and that could be an issue too, because what if someone merges all of their commits into a single commit

Kisu 18-Nov-16 11:52 AM

But even in that case there should only be one commit, the bot adding the project templates

Red_Epicness 18-Nov-16 04:54 PM

@Paul Sauve the good way of knowing is looking the the bar f what language the project is made out of, if it's 80% green - thus shell script there is no commits as your run script takes that amount versus the java code pusched initially, other pluginas have much more java code thatn that thus th ebar is different largerly

Paul Sauve 18-Nov-16 07:35 PM

@Kisu no, because someone could rewrite their git history

@Red_Epicness Sure, but that requires hooking into the GitHub API which is annoying.

dean 25-Nov-16 10:59 PM

check the size of the repo

oh dear I'm late

Paul Sauve 26-Nov-16 01:29 AM

@dean calculating a hash of the current directory excluding . files would work better

but i was obviously too lazy to do that

JustMaffie 01-Dec-16 04:19 AM

Is this contest gonna be coming back every now and then or what?

Deleted User 01-Dec-16 04:39 AM

@JustMaffie Every year

JustMaffie 01-Dec-16 04:39 AM

Next year I'm definitely participating

flying gorilla 01-Dec-16 01:08 PM

It'll be coming back in the summer

MatthewE 16-Jan-17 02:22 PM

When is the next event?

MiniDigger 16-Jan-17 02:25 PM

after they managed to finish the first one?

Land 16-Jan-17 02:26 PM

^^ the message above says "it'll be coming back in the summer"

JamesJ 16-Jan-17 04:55 PM

kek

people asking about when the next one is

yet this one hasnt even been completed yet

like 3 months on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Paul Sauve 17-Jan-17 09:47 PM

Yeah we're finishing up judging, mostly waiting on the new site because we built it on a piece of technology that wasn't quite ready yet..

Deleted User 18-Jan-17 01:48 AM

JamesJ 19-Jan-17 10:17 AM

@Paul Sauve why does it need a website to release the results.. ;-;

Autom 19-Jan-17 10:31 AM

why is patience impossible?

MiniDigger 19-Jan-17 11:19 AM

why is judging without reasonable timeframes impossible?

Paul Sauve 19-Jan-17 03:09 PM

@JamesJ Because we need a way to show the results?

JamesJ 19-Jan-17 03:48 PM

@Autom- the content was in October / November. It's been >2 months :3 @Paul Sauve I personally would've though Discord would've been the best method. But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Autom 19-Jan-17 03:50 PM

i know its been a long time, i just dont like to judge people

Cameron 19-Jan-17 03:50 PM

i would assume they have been getting around to them when they can

flying gorilla 19-Jan-17 03:51 PM

We know it's been a long time but judging has completed, we are just waiting on the site now. We also learned some important lessons about picking judges

Cameron 19-Jan-17 03:51 PM

they have jobs (most to my knowledge), and a life

Autom 19-Jan-17 03:51 PM

for all you know its something out of their reach

flying gorilla 19-Jan-17 03:51 PM

For our first run we're pleased and we will apply what we've learned in future contests

Autom 19-Jan-17 03:51 PM

its the first bukkit devathon too right? so idk things go unexpected

flying gorilla 19-Jan-17 03:52 PM

The first one by us, not the first bukkit coding contest certainly

Autom 19-Jan-17 03:52 PM

no definitely but yes thats what i meant :)

flying gorilla 19-Jan-17 03:52 PM

Yeah considering that we had very few hiccups (edited)

Autom 19-Jan-17 03:53 PM

all im hoping for is that people that reviewed my entry had a good laugh :P

it was fun for me too cause i did things ive never done before with bukkit

flying gorilla 19-Jan-17 03:57 PM

It was awesome seeing all the entries

and we're glad we picked a theme that allowed some innovation

heyitsleo 19-Jan-17 04:17 PM

it was fun for me because I got to see how long it would take me to make something that I found cool

Markcreator 19-Jan-17 04:18 PM

I had a ton of fun because I got to play with mechanics that I usually don't touch

heyitsleo 19-Jan-17 04:19 PM

yeah that was fun for me also

flying gorilla 19-Jan-17 04:25 PM

That's awesome

𝙹𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚊𝚗 12-Sep-17 10:46 AM

Can we have more details on TShirt sizes @Paul Sauve

I live in france and the "Small size" may be different from the one in US

Oh I just saw the TINY chart below the tshirt photo

You should make it larger

Paul Sauve 13-Sep-17 10:35 AM

Sorry I rushed getting that page out
