Anyone working on a modding tool yet?

You don't like comments, do you, SJ?

I've been spoiled by the latest IDEs' "you type a dot after something and it tells you all its properties and methods" and "you type an opening parenthesis and it tells you all the function's arguments"... and I STILL need comments to jog my memory!

[Suicide Junkie]

Heh. What's a comment, and how do I do a goto in this language?

[Ed Kolis]

Heh... at least it's a goto you want, and not a comefrom

[Instar]

Goto sucks!! EWwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[Ed Kolis]

Though there are times when I am tempted to use it instead of more "sophisticated" programming techniques... I mean, which is easier to read:

Old-Style Quick & Dirty Gotos

code:

---

foreach (Array innerArray in outerArray)

{

  foreach (Item i in innerArray)

  {

    if (i == target)

    {

      foundit = true;

      goto done;

    }

  }

}

done:

---

"Sophisticated" Procedural Programming Workaround

code:

---

foreach (Array innerArray in outerArray)

{

  foreach (Item i in innerArray)

  {

    if (i == target)

    {

      foundit = true;

      // can't break out of more than one loop at once without a goto!

      break;

    }

  }

  // so I have to check again in each loop level to avoid wasting time searching for something I already found!

  // not too annoying with only 2 levels, but with more... 

  if (foundit == true)

    break;

}

OK, that wasn't the best example (when was the Last time you had more than 3 levels of nested loops anyway? ) but there ARE times when a goto would come in handy, but I couldn't make myself touch it for fear of being shunned for life
