| − | == Does robo rumble work? ==
| |
| − | hi im new to robocode, been doing it as part of my uni course and i was wondering, is it possible to run roborumble at home anymore because ive follwed the instructions and none of the battles ive been doing have been uploading.... [[User:Quietus|Quietus]] 15:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yep! It sure as he heck still works! The thing is, the rumble.fervir.com server has been kind of broken for a while. You need to point your client at [http://darkcanuck.net/rumble/ this URL] instead now (See [[Darkcanuck/RRServer|here]] for more information). There's new fanciness in that server too :) --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 19:48, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

| − | == Article count ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | A couple questions about the article count (after having some trouble Googling for answers). First, why isn't it updating automatically? Is that something I can trigger to update, or add to the "job queue", does anyone know? (Notice if you edit / preview it is higher than 43, which it reads on the main page right now.) Second, what qualifies as an "article"? Is there a minimum length that a page needs to be (other than not being a user or talk page) to qualify as an article? --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 19:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
| |
| − | :The main page just updated, it now says 48 articles. Also, the statistics page says that there are 145 pages total, but it is excluding, "talk pages, pages about RoboWiki, minimal 'stub' pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages." --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 20:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | According to the MediaWiki wiki (now that's a mouthful), the main page will come up to date as soon as its HTML cache is invalidated, at which point all of the templates, etc. will be transcluded again. Don't know if that helps... --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 20:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

| − | == Font size ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just out of curiosity, why is the font size so large here compared to, say, Wikipedia? I know, I know, it's the same as the old wiki's font, but that wiki didn't have a sidebar. --[[User:AaronR|AaronR]] 07:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | : Primarily because I thought "x-small" was just too small, and yes, it was also just sooo much smaller than the old wiki. I also figured that with the skins options, we could easily give people more choices to choose their own style, anyway. I will confess that tiny fonts for the sake of sleeker designs is a major pet peeve of mine. :-P --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 07:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

| − | Wikimedia Commons has a [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smiley whole section] of GFDL'd or public domain smileys (look at the link at the bottom for more). I don't really see the point though. If you want to upload them and use them, feel free, but I'll stick with =) on the wiki. --<code>[[User:AaronR|AaronR]]</code> 01:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

| − | == Old wiki ==
| |
| − | The old wiki is not working (error 500), and so my roborumble client (it cannot find the list of partecipants), but i see many client is uploading. What is your solution?
| |
| − | --[[User:Lestofante|Lestofante]] 10:35, 1 Dic 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The clients currently running are just using the last copy of the participants list they downloaded from the old wiki. I emailed PEZ a bit ago and got a reply that he'll look into it so hopefully the old wiki will be up again in not too long. If that ends up taking longer than expected though, we could update/fix the participants page on the new wiki and point clients at that instead. (Note: Don't point clients at the one on the new wiki just yet, it's out of date and such. It needs to be copied over from a downloaded copy of the list from the old wiki) --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 12:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | maybe we can drop definitely the old wiki for roborumble client, or better every ramble server can implements it's own participants list, maybe integrated with general wiki list
| |
| − | --[[User:Lestofante|Lestofante]] 15:13, 1 Dic 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'd agree that migrating to using the new wiki participants list would be good, though I think some more veteran wikiers/rumblers than myself should give their input before any such switch is made 'official'. As far as keeping a participants list with the rumble server, well, there's only one working rumble server at the moment so I'm not sure what good that would do, and furthermore multiple rumble server would be a bad thing I think becacuse it would divide the processing power that goes towards making the battles. --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 17:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | That's right, then I thing the server have to had a mirror of the wiki's official participants list, so in this case we can continue run our client, simple we cannot modify the list (if the two list are not synchronize together)
| |
| − | --[[User:Lestofante|Lestofante]] 21:49, 1 Dic 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yeah, the real problem is getting the participants list from the currently-erroring wiki. The RR client has no problem parsing the new wiki format. I may be able to get that from the RoboWiki server when I get home (if it isn't fixed before then).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other issue we might encounter in the future would be when we move this wiki to robowiki.net, and we have RR clients pointing to testwiki.roborumble.org, but I don't think forwarding that URL and/or having people update their clients would be a big issue. I'm glad you contacted PEZ about the old wiki's current problems, I've been out of touch for at least a week...

| − | --[[User:Lestofante|Lestofante]] 22:00, 1 Dic 2008 (UTC)

| − | Hey Nat - I will add the InterWiki link because I'd like to support your efforts to start a Thai Robocode community and wiki. But I really don't appreciate being commanded to do that (or much of anything, really), and especially to do so "NOW". Please keep in mind the RoboWiki's only rule: "Pretty please be polite." --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 18:48, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

| − | Cool, I read up on the InterWiki stuff, added your Thai wiki to the database, and posted a link on the main page. As I can't read Thai, please make sure that looks right and edit it if necessary. =) --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 22:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

| − | == Database error ==
| |
| − | I didn't know where to put this, but here seems like a decent spot. All my posts are getting this message today (4 times, probably 5 with this one), the posts are still uploaded but the message is:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.

| − | The last attempted database query was:

| − | (SQL query hidden)

| − | MySQL returned error "126: Incorrect key file for table './wikidb/searchindex.MYI'; try to repair it (localhost)".
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | I don't know if ''localhost'' is meant to be from mine point of view, or the server's. Maybe someone else is getting the same messages, I haven't tried to logout/in, because I just thought of that. --[[User:Zyx|zyx]] 23:47, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | : Just like when you go to the mechanic, I didn't get the message this time. Another piece of information may be that all the other 4 posts where at [[Talk:PwnBot]], so maybe the problem relies in that page. --[[User:Zyx|zyx]] 23:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :: I found some mentions of people hitting this, and it sounds like a "repair table" SQL command is the remedy. I've run that now, so hopefully it's fixed. Can you let me know if it happens again? Thanks, --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 00:31, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

| − | :::: Thanks for the info. I saw it as well when I posted the downtime note. I'm guessing the server crashing corrupted the searchindex table -- I'll rerun the "repair table" and post here when I do.

| − | | |
| − | Honestly, I believe many things on the wikipedia article, at least 2/3rds of the page, just plain don't belong on Wikiedia, due to valid reasons. In fact I'm not sure anything beyond the overview and the first two sections belong, given how Wikipedia's 'original research' and 'notability' criteria apply to such sections. Even those sections which do make sense to keep to desperately need citations. Essentially, I don't feel the sections [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robocode&action=historysubmit&diff=37661690&oldid=35178091 added by PEZ] fit wikipedia's criteria for what belongs. So... I think it does deserve to be challenged for good reason. I don't have time to improve what should stay though. --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 16:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'll make more comments on the Wikipedia talk page, but I agree it needs a lot of cleanup and I'm willing to help out with that. I half agree with Rednaxela. The overview and first 2 sections are fine and neutral. The rest could use a lot of cleaning up, but I don't think it all needs just to be axed. Some editing down / revising / adding citations should do the trick. (I think the RoboWiki is a "reliable source"? If not, I don't know what is.) --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 19:03, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | : Well, while I would personally consider Robowiki a "reliable source" for my own purposes, it seems to me it violates some of what is noted on [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources_.28online_and_paper.29|Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources]], in particular how it notes "open wikis" among other things as "largely not acceptable". Also, note the "no original research" policies, and consider that much of the purpose of Robowiki is for "original research". There is a significant difference between a source one trusts, and a source that fits Wikipedia's rules. --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 01:54, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

| − | : Hmm, thanks. I really don't know much about Wikipedia's policies, but just starting to read up on it now. In that case, you are probably right that a lot of stuff needs to just be axed... --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 13:46, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

| − | == "Robocode Guidebook" ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other day I was thinking it was a pity that it isn't that easy to get into Robocode really. Sure, we have a "Getting Started" page but that's pretty loose. I was then reminded about Wikibooks. So here's a question: Who thinks it might be a good idea to make a fairly self-contained "Robocode Guidebook" of a similar style to the things on Wikibooks? Many existing tutorials could probably be moved in or adapted, though trying to organize things in that format might, 1) Reveal things that need tutorials still, and 2) Make it easier for a newcomer to follow. Thoughts? --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 13:37, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | : I need to check out Wikibooks to see the "style", but it sounds like a great idea if we can find people with the time. I'd certainly be happy to contribute. I try to visit the RoboWiki with a "newbie mind" sometimes, and there is definitely a lot of work to be done... --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 13:52, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

| − | :: It sounds like a good idea to me. I started robocode less than a month ago and I could tell you what I would find helpful / not helpful etc. If you decide to do it and need me help feel free to ask :) --[[User:Exauge|Exauge]] 21:03, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

| |
| − | | |
| − | : Which brings up another point I wanted to make... It seems important to consider target audience, since there's such a wide range of backgrounds of people that come to Robocode. They may have Java experience and fresh-in-mind trig knowledge, or be new to programming entirely and don't know/forgot trig and other maths. Of course, ideally we write something that anybody can learn from, but target audience definitely affects the style and pace. --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 21:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :: I think there are a lot of basic of Java book out there, so I don't think we need to write about Java or OOP. But we should have basic trig cuz even programmers may have forgotten about trig already (if you didn't work with geometry/graphics that is) --[[User:Nat|<span style="color:#099;">Nat</span>]] [[User talk:Nat|<span style="color:#0a5;">Pavasant</span>]] 05:43, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

| − | :Yes! ... " Robocode cookbook " ?? :) I would highly suggest a collection of sample AdvancedRobots (in their own directory) packaged with robocode. With a link in the help menu to the "Guide". Include a sample AdvancedRobot with a decent 'base' for melee. It took me 5 years of fighting with ways of storing info for melee. (homeMade silliness) because API's are difficult to understand... (Only to make use of module after) Include useful utils like 'project'.. helps make Trig easy... and If I knew eclipse would of made learning java easier I would switched over from the robocode editor much sooner..
