Existing Standards

[oeed]

To get this repo in a state where it is truely useable we need to have as many of the existing standards/formats/whatevers submitted. If you can think of something missing comment below or make a PR!

[viluon]

Diffs and patch functionality should be definitely standardized!

[oeed]

Didn't we already sorta discuss diffs in #1?

[oeed]

...being?

[oeed]

Don't really get what it has to do with standards though.. does it save the difference to a file?

[viluon]

@oeed it's the generated difference file displayed when viewing a commit which shows which lines were added/removed. You can also see it when you edit a file in Sublime, right click and click on "Show unsaved changes".

.nbs noteblock songs?

[viluon]

Could you link us to software using .nbs please @justsomeoneelseagain ?

[viluon]

NoteBlock API was released on 3rd July 2012. While it might very well work on current versions of ComputerCraft, I doubt it will. I didn't look into the code but I suspect it uses coloured cables, which are deprecated now.

i just searched for a noteblock image format

[ghost]

i mean audio format

[ghost]

maybe @lyqyd ´s packman repository format if he agrees

[viluon]

His nickname is @lyqyd @justsomeoneelseagain :wink:

[ghost]

yes, I realyced it afterwards

[lyqyd]

Yeah, I'd have no problem with that. I don't really have the time/energy to write it up, but I'd be happy to answer any questions on it that the readme in the packman repository can't.

we might want to standardize the intendation(Is that a word?) 2 spaces might be good, as that is what the normal edit program uses, someone can change Lua.md if enough people agree

[oeed]

@Luca0208 Indentation tends to be fair subjective. Some people like tabs, others spaces. 2 spaces works better on the CC screens because the screen size isn't very big, but personally, I find 4 spaces much easier to read in external editors and only use that.

Hence, I'm not sure whether it's worth standardising. It's not something that's causing clashes or anything like that.

[Luca0208]

The big problem comes when someone uses tabs to intend. It just looks awful in CC

[viluon]

@Luca0208 that is the problem of CC, not tab indent. Few actual developers use the flawed ingame editor. Still not a reason to standardize indentation.

[lyqyd]

Indentation is personal choice, and outside the scope of this project. The standards should be about how programs work or interact with other code/files, not about how they look.

Agreed @lyqyd (and actually even with @demhydraz ).

[viluon]

Oops, this isn't a proposal, sorry!

What about .skch (layered image file from Oeed's Sketch) and .nfa (animation file from NitrogenFingers' NPaintPro) files? I consider them pretty standard and useful.

[oeed]

Yeah I don't object to that, sketch files and nfa do seem to be used a bit.

59 contains a proposal for adding (a slightly modified version of) TRoR.
