Talk:NetHack 3.6.0 source code
Is nethack vanilla C or ANSI C? -- PraetorFenix 03:26, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's definitely not ANSI C, but I don't know exactly which specification it tries to adhere to. --Jayt 18:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have started an ANSI C article. It seems that NetHack is sometimes in ANSI C, but sometimes not, depending on conditions in tradstdc.h. (Having source code here helped me much in starting an ANSI C page.) --Kernigh 04:52, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
In the Source Code what files define the corpse weights? -- PraetorFenix 08:43, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- They're in monst.c#line101. The first number in that line says giant ants (and also their corpses) have weight 10. --Jayt 18:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
What does it mean to be able to "annotate" the code on this wiki? Is it just the ability to provide links to the code on other wiki pages, or could we add in commentary on the source page itself? 146.145.99.210 19:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Kernigh writes: It is a wiki, so you could try anything! Just go to a source code page, click "edit" and do something interesting...
- For example, I have been reading artifact.c and saving my notes about artifact invocations in there. The one thing that we are not doing is that we are not editing the C code itself. However, it is possible to use square brackets to insert links. --Kernigh 02:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- I would add that the overall goal of annotation is to explain the source code; in particular, to document what each bit means in terms of gameplay. So you can add any kind of annoation between source code lines, but it would be nice to keep comments like "What the hell was he on when he wrote rnz()?" to the discussion pages :-) --Jayt 13:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Function/macro reference
I've been thinking about making a page that lists all the functions and macros in the source, with links to the point where it is defined. Any thoughts on that before I start doing it? GreyKnight 02:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
