Out of practice: Put together a basic tutorial of ASH for newbies?

== ASH Tutorial on this Page ==

I think this would make sense to exist as a tutorial on basic ASH scripting, function library, and data storage/structures, written with the newbie ASH scripter in mind. If there's no objections, I'll start writing one up - an upgrade of the KoLMafia ASH scripting tutorials (with the newer features, search tools, returning of values from functions), in "english" for newbies. So that it'd be easy for them to understand. --[[User:Out of practice|Out of practice]] 22:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

== Front Page Article, Updates, and Questions ==

I noticed that there does not seem to be an complete guide on datatypes, maps, records, or anything else of the like. Would creating an article on datatypes, constraints, and setups be good? Or should info like that be put into their respective (separate) pages? Another thought also pops to mind; if the wiki were to have a "Beginner's Guide to ASH Scripting" tutorial (similar to the one on KoLMafia's sourceforge, but updated) things like this would fit in it well.

'''EDIT:''' Also, what should be the procedure for us to follow for linking a function's short description (in one of the front-page articles) with its own (completed) page? I just finished an extensive [[map_to_file()]] page (in more detail than you'd expect), and a slightly-less-awesome (but still working) [[floor()]] and [[file_to_map()]] page, and was wondering how I should link them for the benefit of others (who wouldn't naturally search for its own page).

Let's get started, guys. Soon enough, I'll have a list of all the functions, which I think should go in a wiki page to (as someone above said) search and link. Also, is there a way to do monospacing with code? --[[User:MagiNinjA|MagiNinjA]] 00:35, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

== Ideas... ==

These are my ideas that I have floating around in my head:
# A template to put all the relevant information about a function into a table (with proper colored backgrounds and such)
## I can do this; I just need to know what information is 'relevant'.
# Move this type of discussion to the Community Portal. Right now the CP is just a bunch of links (we can make a 'links' page and add it to the sidebar if needed).
# An overhaul of the main page. Someone said that they don't like the 'portal' type of look, but that kind of look has become the ''de facto'' standard for wikis, as it is the most popular. I'll pound out a rough draft on a subpage of my user space.
# Creation of a template structure. Templates for requesting deletion, protection, etc. That way non-sysop flagged users can 'tag' pages [[Talk:Bad title|such as this]] for deletion.
# Logo! 'Cause we need to be cool like that.
# Define a category structure. Do it now before too many pages get created.

File to map

2009-09-10T07:18:51Z

Out of practice: Removing a set of italics

'''[[boolean]] file_to_map( [[string]] file_to_load , [[aggregate]] map_to_fill )'''

'''[[boolean]] file_to_map( [[string]] file_to_load , [[aggregate]] map_to_fill , [[boolean]] condition_for_loading )'''

Loads a map from a saved file, and returns a [[boolean]] of the operation's success. While all that is required to execute file_to_map() is the saved file's name and a compatible map, it can also contain a conditional that must evaluate as true to execute the file-map load.

If file_to_map() is called from within a script, it will automatically load the specified filename from the KoLMafia\Scripts\ directory ([[map_to_file()]]'s automatic in-script save location). If file_to_map() is called from within a library function, it will load the specified filename from the KoLMafia\Data\ directory (the save location of [[map_to_file()]] when run within a library function).

''A script example of loading a pre-defined map from a file:''<pre>#Loading (and displaying) an arbitrary map from a file
string[int] favorite_things;

if( file_to_map( "ponies_and_candycanes.txt" , favorite_things ) == true )
{
print( "All of your favorite things have come here to KoLMafia to play! Yay! There's:" , "#FF6666" );
for cycle from 1 upto (count(favorite_things)-1)

}
else

Would obviously produce a different output depending on what you had saved in the list. For example, were the contents of "ponies_and_candycanes.txt":''<pre>1 Sunshine
2 Cabbage

Out of practice: A new page, just for me, just about me! :)

== My Details ==

I've been a long time KoL player (back since the summer of 04' I believe), and easily regard it as one of the most fun games I've played. Although I seem to have forgotten KoL's "casual game" status (yeah, right) in the mean time, it is definitely a fun way to pass the time. Which works out well, since while I'm here in New Zealand for the year without a powerful computer, KoL is literally the only game I can play at the moment.

Map to file

2009-09-10T06:49:04Z

Out of practice: Created (after extensive texting) an accurate and detailed explaination of the map_to_file() command, its quirks, its data storage format, and original example usage code

'''[[boolean]] map_to_file( [[aggregate]] map , [[string]] filename )'''

'''[[boolean]] map_to_file( [[aggregate]] map , [[string]] filename , [[boolean]] conditions_to_save )'''

Saves a map as a file, and returns a [[boolean]] of the operation's success. Additionally, map_to_file() can also host a [[boolean]] conditional, so that the saving operation will only be executed when it evaluates as true.

When map_to_file() saves, if the specified filename does not exist, it will create a new file of that name, and store the data inside of it. If map_to_file()'s specified save filename already exists, all data inside of the file will be overwritten, and it will only contain the elements in the saved map at the time of execution. In other words, '''saving over a file will destroy the data stored within it, and replace it with the specified map (at the time of saving)'''. It is also worth note that saved map data is not directly tied to any particular map - only to its key and slice variable types.

If map_to_file() is called from within a script, it will automatically save the resulting file in the KoLMafia\Scripts\ directory. However, if map_to_file() is called from within a library function, the resulting file will be saved in the KoLMafia\Data\ directory. For reference, file_to_map() calls load similarly.

''When saved in a file, map data takes on the form:''<pre>[key1] [key2 (if multi-key)] [...] [slice1] [slice2 (if multi-slice (a record))] [...]</pre>

As map_to_file() is KoLMafia's only local (HD) I/O extension, it is an invaluable tool for the scripter; useful for everything from saving script states for resumes, data for use/analysis/backup, and even script de-bugging. However, for those wishing to use map_to_file() for the purposes of saving script states or data, the building of fail-safes against failed loads (such as regular backups), and regular re-evaluations of stored data for inaccuracies, particularly for the purpose of guarding against failed saves.

''(Usage Example) Generating data from a user, then calling map_to_file() in the script to save it for later:''<pre>#The "What do you like?" script, v9.23b

#First, a declaration of the custom class (for use as the map's slices)
record personal_preference {
string item_name;
boolean like_it;
};

#Next, we fill out the .item_name field of the map slices we're using. These will be used later as a plugin for the questions.

personal_preference[int] likes_and_dislikes;
likes_and_dislikes[1].item_name = "Toffee";
likes_and_dislikes[2].item_name = "Sunshine";
likes_and_dislikes[3].item_name = "Onions";
likes_and_dislikes[4].item_name = "Sleep Deprivation";
likes_and_dislikes[5].item_name = "The Kingdom of Loathing";

#We set up a loop with a 'counter' variable, and tell it to go from "q = 1" all the way to "q = [Number of keys in the map]"
for q from 1 upto count(likes_and_dislikes) {

#We create a pop-up confirmation "dialogue box", which (by its KoLMafia definition) will present the user with yes/no options
if( user_confirm( "Do you like "+likes_and_dislikes[q].item_name+"?" ) == true ) likes_and_dislikes[q].like_it = true;
}

print( "Survey completed successfully! We appreciate your input!" , "Green" );

#Finally, we save the map (questions, answers, and all) to "user_preference.txt" in the KoLMafia\Scripts\ directory,
#While enclosing it in an if() statement, so that were the save to fail, a message notifying the user of the failure will be printed

File to map

Out of practice: Pseudo-Intellectual Pedantry

'''[[boolean]] file_to_map( [[string]] file_name , [[aggregate]] map )'''

'''[[boolean]] file_to_map( [[string]] file_name , [[aggregate]] map , [[boolean]] condition_for_loading )'''

Loads a map from a saved file, and returns a [[boolean]] of the operation's success. While all that is required to execute file_to_map() is the saved file's name and a compatible map, it can also contain a conditional that must evaluate as true to execute the file-map load.

For example:<pre>#Loading (and displaying) an arbitrary map from a file
string[int] favorite_things;
boolean load_success = file_to_map( "ponies_and_candycanes.txt" , favorite_things );

if( load_success == true )
{
print( "All of your favorite things have come here to KoLMafia to play! Yay! There's:" , "#FF6666" );
for cycle from 1 upto (count(favorite_things)-1)
{
print( ""+favorite_things[cycle]+", and..." , "#FF00CC" );
}
print( ""+favorite_things[count(favorite_things)]+", oh my!" , "#FF00CC" );
}
else
{
print( "Your favorite things failed to load. Apparently they don't love you back." , "Red" );
}</pre>

With the saved file "ponies_and_candycanes.txt" being:<pre>1 Sunshine
2 Cabbage
3 Computers

Would yield an output of:<pre>All of your favorite things have come here to KoLMafia to play! Yay! There's:

Let's get started, guys. Soon enough, I'll have a list of all the functions, which I think should go in a wiki page to (as someone above said) search and link. Also, is there a way to do monospacing with code? --[[User:MagiNinjA|MagiNinjA]] 00:35, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
:You can get mono-spaced text by using <code> tags. For example, using <pre><code>EXAMPLE TEXT</code></pre> produces this as a result. <code>EXAMPLE TEXT</code>
:If you need anymore help, just drop me a line on my [[User_talk:Ksumoe|talk page]]. [[User:Ksumoe|ksumoe]] ([[User_talk:Ksumoe|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Ksumoe|contrib]]) 18:35, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

== Ideas... ==

These are my ideas that I have floating around in my head:
# A template to put all the relevant information about a function into a table (with proper colored backgrounds and such)
## I can do this; I just need to know what information is 'relevant'.
# Move this type of discussion to the Community Portal. Right now the CP is just a bunch of links (we can make a 'links' page and add it to the sidebar if needed).
# An overhaul of the main page. Someone said that they don't like the 'portal' type of look, but that kind of look has become the ''de facto'' standard for wikis, as it is the most popular. I'll pound out a rough draft on a subpage of my user space.
# Creation of a template structure. Templates for requesting deletion, protection, etc. That way non-sysop flagged users can 'tag' pages [[Talk:Bad title|such as this]] for deletion.
# Logo! 'Cause we need to be cool like that.
# Define a category structure. Do it now before too many pages get created.

Like I said... I'm here to help. [[User_talk:Ksumoe|Comments]]  plox. [[User:Ksumoe|ksumoe]] ([[User_talk:Ksumoe|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Ksumoe|contrib]]) 21:17, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

I added some links on the home page -- hope that helps users find more documentation... :) -Daychilde

I corrected the Script Repository link to http://www.kolmafia.us from http://www.kolmafia.ua. ;) -Regnar

== Links to Redirects? ==

While I understand the need for redirect, why are we linking to redirect pages? Why not use <nowiki>[[Page Title|Displayed Text]]</nowiki> links instead?

== Protection ==
Seriously, protect the front page. This is getting completely destroyed by spam [[User:80.189.248.109|80.189.248.109]] 12:05, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Is $wgSpamRegex set? If not it should be. If it is, it needs updating. Spam storming in like the flood! -divinewind420

== Current wiki layout ==
I was just curious if we could get the current wiki main page layout centered? As in simply putting <pre> <center> </center> </pre> around the main text.
