pro tip for programmers - how to alias

hey, so you know that annoying thing that happens when you're coding, and you need to run/test the same program 100 times in a row, so you end up typing "python3 testScriptWithASuperLongName.py" into the terminal about 80,000 times?

well, there's a better way! it's called aliasing :D

in your bash shell (or zsh, or whatever shell you use, but bash is the default on VSCode and most people on tumblr use VSCode, so I'm using bash as the default to explain this concept) you can set an alias, essentially a shortcut command, that runs longer commands.

(yes you can just use the up arrow key to re-run the same command, but sometimes you're typing other things into the terminal too and you don't feel like hitting the up arrow key four times in a row, and also this is just a cool and useful tip to get comfortable with aliasing so shhhh)

so, in your terminal shell, just type this:

alias run="python3 testScriptWithASuperLongName.py"

now, you can run that entire super long command, just by typing the word "run" into your terminal. Here's a screenshot of an example on my computer to make it make more sense:

in this example, i just created a simple python file that contains one line of code: print("it works!")

then, as you can see, by setting the alias to run, i can now run that file, runningatestscript.py, simply with the command 'run'.

the best part is, this alias is temporary - it only lasts as long as your shell session is open. so once you close the terminal, the run alias is cleared and you can set it again next time to any file or task you're currently working on, to save yourself a lot of typing, typos, and time.

so if you want to, you can get in the habit of always setting a run alias in the VSCode terminal for whichever file you're working with as soon as you get everything open. that way, when you need to run the same file 50 million times, you have a super easy way of doing it! you can even set it to a single letter if you want to go for maximum speed, but i prefer to use whole short words, because they're easy for me to remember.

note: if you do want to set an alias to work for all sessions, you can simply add it to your ./bashrc file. this is a common way to automate repeatable tasks, and simply to set easier-to-remember commands for terminal commands that are really complicated/confusing/hard to remember.

for example, i saved the alias checkboot="[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo 'UEFI mode' || 'BIOS mode'" into my zshrc file (zsh equivalent of bashrc file). this way, no matter how many times i rebooted my machine, i would always be able to quickly check which boot mode was running by simply typing 'checkboot'.

yesterday i was updating my boot mode from BIOS to UEFI on my very old machine that is technically compatible with UEFI, but not configured for it by default. So it was extremely helpful and saved me the time and headache of having to remember and type that long-ass command a thousand times in between many different reboots and new shells.

if you have any tasks like that, or terminal commands that you know would be useful to you, but you can never remember them when you need them, i highly recommend getting comfortable with aliasing! it can be super useful to simply set custom aliases for all the commands you don't want to remember, so that you can automate things away and not have to worry about so much linux syntax all the time when you're tring to focus on programming.

i know this may seem like a simple tip to some, but i only learned about it recently and it's been extremely helpful to integrate into my workflow and customize my OS with! so i thought it might be worthwhile to some people if i share :) hope it helps!

hullo! um- this is my first time sending an ask so sorry if i just start rambling lmao. i really, really love your IF it’s amazing (also, irus has me straight up cackling at the worst times lol) <3

anyways, i love creative writing and stuff like that and i’ve only recently found IFs so i was curious about what it would be like to make one. i didn’t think it’d be that hard 🥲 it is a struggle. i’m still trying to figure out coding, then my laptop broke. so. yeah :)

anyways (i feel like i’m saying that too much…), i had two questions. sorry if you already answered them already -v-‘

how do you do the music? do you create it yourself or download it?

do you have any tips for coding? little nuggets for beginners or something?

thank you! i hope you have a nice day/night! :3c

Hi Anon 😊 There is no right way to send an ask, and the way you've asked is perfectly fine 🌼

Thank you so much for playing and I'm really happy to know that you're enjoying Irus 💖

Gosh, writing IF always seems easy at first then you start writing one and you think, crap, I was so wrong.

1. For music, I download it from Pixabay - the music is free and you can use it for commercial use as well - mix it, edit it etc and it's fine. What I've done is search through the different songs available and went for atmospheric music (rarely do they contain voices) and stuff that pertains to the story (a lot of the songs for Crown of Exile have Middle-Eastern or Indian themes).

2. As for little tips, I'm not nearly as experienced in coding as others - I only started in June last year to use Twine Sugarcube and I did dabble in Choicescript a few years before that 😅 But I'll try my best to help.

Choose the coding language that fits you best. There are a ton of different ways to code an IF game - I use Twine Sugarcube because it let me customise the way the game looks (and I've always wanted to learn how to use it).

Learn to code the basics. It's quite daunting to start off when you're new to coding (I didn't even know how to offer custom names to players or figure out why I kept getting errors when testing the game). If you're using Twine Sugarcube, i suggest this guide. It explains everything quite simply and it's what helped me a great deal when I started using Twine.

Do a test game - learning to code means actually using the code in a game. Start with small things - creating a link or stats and then testing them. It doesn't have to be fancy, but once you get the hang of basics, you quickly realise it's not nearly as hard as you think and you'll slowly build your confidence up to actually figuring out how to add music to your game 😅

Don't be afraid to ask for help. There's a ton of people online who are willing to help or have already put up guides. Also don't be afraid to do a search online for answers - the internet can save you hours of time because someone out there has already had the same question as you and it's been solved.

I hope this helps you and if you do have anything specific in mind you need help with, you can always ask 😊 I'll do my best to help.

How did ypu create the settings, saves, etc. Icon links? I'm very stumped on how to do that.

Heyy ~

It's just a stylised <<link>> macro. The icons are from Font Awesome (make sure you import the icons in your Javascript file) so you can directly use the icons in html on the StoryInterface passage or wherever your UI is. I'm using cerberus' template and I have a separate passage for the menu. You'd write it like this for example :

<<link '<i class="fa-solid fa-gear"></i>'>><<script>>UI.settings()<</script>><</link>>

You have to write your Html inside the single quote, inside the link macro. You can add multiple html tags and classes to style the links however you want in CSS. After closing the first <<link>>, you can write what script that button is supposed to trigger. You can use <<script>> for something like UI.settings() or UI.saves(). If you want, instead of a script, to have a link to another passage or a website, you can write it just like you would with a normal <<link>> :

<<link '<a href="https://gthiah-if.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><i class="fa-brands fa-tumblr"></i>tumblr</a>'>><</link>> <<link '<i class="fa-solid fa-heart"></i>credits' 'credits'>><</link>>

Hope that's what you were asking about, if not or if you still have questions, let me know :^)

fun fact: you can put links in your bios section on tumblr dot com! Just put this "<a href="url">link text<;/a>" (w/out quotations) into the bio under settings > edit blog

it'll look like this

and it should show up on your blog! (also, yes, that's my age/petre blog lmao it's agenpetre)

the only downside to this is that if you wanna quickly edit your bio you'll HAVE to go through the settings > edit blog > change bio because it'll default back to plain txt if you don't!

edit: the "<br>" stands for break, and can break the text you put in the desc! it's not needed for this code, but it does make it look neater if needed!

If you're looking to improve your competitive programming and data structures and algorithms (DSA) skills, here are some friendly tips to help you navigate the process effectively.

Understand the Difference: DSA vs CP

When diving into competitive programming and DSA, it's important to recognize the distinction between the two:

- DSA: Focuses on solving real-world problems using programming concepts relevant to computer science. It involves finding suitable solutions for real-world scenarios and implementing them using code.

- Competitive Programming (CP): Often described as a "mind sport," CP involves competing with other coders to solve problems using programming, logic, and analytical skills within a limited time and memory. While DSA can help with real-world problem-solving and job readiness, CP hones problem-solving skills and critical thinking.

Set Your Goal

Define your ultimate goal behind engaging in competitive programming and DSA:

- If you aim to excel in programming interviews and enhance your development skills, focus on honing your problem-solving skills through platforms like LeetCode, GeeksForGeeks, and HackerRank.

- If you're keen on training your brain and improving problem-solving and critical thinking, consider diving into competitive programming to utilize various programming aspects to solve problems efficiently.

Start Gathering Information

Once you've decided on your path, take some time to gather essential resources, including books, roadmaps, YouTube playlists, websites, and advice from experienced individuals. Engaging with those who have prior experience can provide valuable guidance.

Clear Your Fundamentals

Before delving into problem-solving, ensure your fundamentals are solid. This includes:

- Language: Choose a language like C++, Java, or Python, as they are commonly allowed in interviews and can offer efficiency in competitive programming.

- Programming Fundamental*: Brush up on data types, functions, decision-making, and language-specific features to bolster your understanding and problem-solving capabilities.

- Mathematics: Familiarize yourself with concepts such as number theory, modulo arithmetic, prime numbers, and other mathematical principles relevant to problem-solving.

Start with Baby Steps

Take a gradual approach to problem-solving, understanding that it's a learning process. Embrace challenges and setbacks, and allow yourself time to grasp and solve problems effectively.

Document Your Progress

Maintain a record of your learning journey, including problems you've solved and the approaches used. This documentation can help identify patterns and improve your problem-solving strategies over time.

Don't Beat Yourself Up

Remember to take breaks and engage in activities outside of programming to avoid burnout. It's okay to encounter challenges; perseverance and learning from setbacks are central to growth in competitive programming and DSA.

By following these tips, you can embark on your competitive programming and DSA journey with a clearer understanding and a friendlier approach to learning and improvement.

Good luck!

HTML & CSS Comment Tips

One valuable thing I have learned when starting any project is to include comments on your pages to provide a more structured layout.

For example, in HTML files, comments can be made with ; anything within that space won’t appear on the page or be read by the browser.

A good way to use this in a page is to outline your areas, like in the image below.

Anywhere on your pages where you have a new section, you should use comments to outline what they are. This helps in a few ways. First, it increases readability for yourself and anyone else reading your code. Second, as your projects grow, doing this helps keep them organized.

It’s easier to add to and edit when you can find the area where you want to make changes or add classes based on the comment tags rather than trying to narrow it down through many <div> tags. Third, it helps with remembering what you were doing.

The same principles apply to CSS files, although comments are left in a CSS file type with /* */.

Using comments to outline the different style groups you intend to use in your projects can help you find the parts you want to edit. In general, using comments is something everyone should do. They are very helpful in JavaScript and other languages when making notes about what a function does or should be doing. You can also leave yourself notes about what you were working on.

I have a question about coding : how did you make the passage for the ritual where things are greyed out if you have already the item?

Hello nonny ~ It's a mix of if, else and hasVisited(). Basically, the passage with the greyed out options is called prologue.4save and every time you click on an option and get one of the items, you go back to the passage except now you've filled one of the if condition which is to have visited prologue.5save (where you get the chalice) for example.

Here's part of the code for the dagger, I removed the html class for the button's styling to make it a little less cluttered though the code is still messy haha;;; The stuff after '//' is an explanation of what the line of code does, let me know if you'd like a better explanation :^)

<<if not hasVisited("prologue.5save")>> //this means you won't see anything and the line will be empty if you haven't first visited the passage 5save where you get the chalice. <<else>> <<if hasVisited("prologue.3kill")>>You have the dagger. //if you went for the kill route beforehand and already got the knife in 3kill, it's greyed out <<elseif hasVisited("prologue.6save")>>You have the dagger. //if you went back to the passage prologue.4save after getting the dagger through the save route (ritual) in 6save, it's greyed out <<else>><<link>>'You remember the dagger used for the sacrifices, it should be in its box in another classroom.' 'prologue.6save'>><</link>> //if you didn't go for the kill route and haven't gotten the knife yet = after getting the chalice, you'll be able to click this link <</if>> <</if>>

One last thing about if statements : the order of your elseif statements matters. The program is read from top to bottom and as soon as it finds one condition to your if/elseif statement that reads as true, it will stop reading the rest of the if. So, for example :

On the relationships page, you'll get a special line indicating your friendship / love status for each character to get a general sense of how they feel about MC. There'll be a different line if your friendship is between 0 and 20, 20 and 40, 40 and 60 etc. I have to write the else if statement from highest friendship (greater than or equal to 90) to lowest (greater than or equal to 0).

If I wrote :

<<if $Mfriend gte 0>>They're distrustful of you <<elseif $Mfriend gte 20>>They're not sure what to think of you

Then you'd always only ever see the first statement since no matter if you have 5 friendship or 79 friendship with them, it'll always be greater than 0 and so the program will never bother reading anything else below that statement, and every elseif you write will be ignored. So you have to write it the other way :

<<if $Mfriend gte 20>>They're not sure what to think of you <<elseif $Mfriend gte 0>>They're distrustful of you

Now, it'll make a difference if you have friendship higher than 20 or higher than 0 but lower than 20.

I'm not great at explaining stuff haha but I hope that made sense, ask again if you want more precisions !
