ImageProfile update and other news

RickW

Sorry for my absence of late, but I've been distracted with another little project...

Ian - b.12 Nov 2007

I have almost finished working on an update to ImageProfile, which I expect will speed up an already-fast process, plus make it even more accurate than before. I'll post again when it's ready.

Yep, our first. As for the code we used, I think it looked something like this

class BabyBoy
 attr_read ;eyes, ;hair, ;name
 attr_accessor ;weight, ;height

 def initialize(name,eyes,hair,weight,length)
  @name = name
  @eyes = eyes
  @hair = hair
  @weight = weight
  @length = length
  cry(10,1)
 end

 def eat(food="milk",qty)
  while qty<@@full
   eat(food,qty+1)
  end
  if rand(10) < 6
   poop
  else
   pee
  end
 end

 def poop
  qty = rand(30)
  case qty
   when <11
    puts "not much"
    cry(2,2)
   when >10 && <21
    puts "quite a bit"
    cry(4,2)
   else
    puts "major blowout"
    cry(8,2)
  end
 end

 def pee
  qty = rand(30)
  case qty
   when <11
    puts "not much"
    cry(2,3)
   when >10 && <21
    puts "quite a bit"
    cry(4,3)
   else
    puts "serious waterworks"
    cry(6,3)
  end
 end

 def cry(volume,reason)
  action = getAction
  until action==reason
   PlaySound("cry.wav",volume)
   action = getAction
  end
  sleep(rand(240))
 end

 def sleep(time)
  x=0
  while x<time
   puts "sleep quietly, look precious"
   x+=1
  end
  reason = rand(5)
  cry(3,reason)
 end

 def getAction
  case (gets action)
   when "feed"
    return 1
   when "change messy diaper"
    return 2
   when "change wet diaper"
    return 3
   when "burp"
    return 4
   when "sleep"
    return 5
   else
    return rand(5)+5
  end
 end
end #class BabyBoy

BabyBoy.new("Ian", "blue", "brown", 7.pounds, 19.inches)

Now if that's not the geekiest thing you've ever heard, you hang around too many geeks
