Description : To wait 5 seconds, people type in Delay 5000. Now all you have to type is wait5. It saves 5 spaces which doesn't sound like alot of room but if you can type 60 words-per-minute, and a word was 3 letters long (so 160 letters per minute) and you used the delay command 16 times in a minute, you would save 5 seconds of that time. So if you did that 12 times (12 minutes) with a total of 80 delay's, you would save one minute. Thats a lot of math! Short version: for every 12 minutes you spend codeing you save a minute of time. So for an hour of coding, you save 5 minutes using the folling code. Here's the code and please comment. All you must do is save this, and in your program use the include command to include these functions in your program. Goes to 1 minute which would be wait60

 Seems pointless.  Somebody would need to be a pretty bad coder to use the delay command so much that it makes a significant difference worth the extra memory.


TaskMaster(Posted 1+ years ago)

 If you type delay commands for an hour, you save 5 minutes?  I don't think I type 1 minute of delay commands in an entire program that might take weeks/months to write.

 Ho wow! I thought I was bad. ...that is so silly. why would I do that if I can do something like this:

Code: [Select]


funciton secs(seconds:float)
     wait 1000*seconds
end function
and how about minutes:

Code: [Select]

function mins(minutes:float)
    secs(60*minutes)
end function

 ..these are really pointless stuff..

 true

 Take it easy, guys.Maybe this is/seems useful in Nikes current project? And if not everyone should have the right to be "new to programming" and find out what they like by own experiments.Personally I'd go for Jesses suggestion with "shortcut abbreviation functions" for most work that would involve a lot of "waits":function wSec()function wMin()function wHour()function wDay()function wWeek()etc...This is also similar to what can be found in the std-libs of many higher level languages.

 <div class="quote"> and you used the delay command 16 times in a minute, you would save 5 seconds of that time </div> Funny, but a bit of a waste of the code archive. [/i]
