Here's a visualization of Optimized Bogo Sort. As a treat.

I made a thing. Let me know if there are other sorting algorithms you'd like to see. The full version is here: youtube.com/watch?v=kE_sck… Music credit: "Pathfinder" by Kubbi (link and CC license in YouTube description) #programming #computerscience #algorithms

@terrysimons This positions the background image onto the temporary surface such that the background area that will eventually be behind the final image you want to blit is filling the whole temporary non-alpha surface. Negative coordinates leads to cropping, which is the goal for this step.

@NerdParadise Why do you blit to -x, -y on your blit_alpha() python hack?

Welcome to VC Park! Where all your #blockchain dreams come true.

@drljnoble Glad to be useful!

Thank you @NerdParadise - just what I needed: a crash course in C# nerdparadise.com/programming/cs…

Interview and code test tomorrow. I asked for information on language and IDE/Editor on Thursday. This morning I'm told C# and visual studio 2015. My cv includes Ruby, Java, JavaScript, Postgresql, MongoDB. Job spec said "strongly typed". #DownWithAllHands #OhHelp #CodeNewbie

Starting today, I'll be hosting my webcomic (Linked List) on nerdparadise.com/linkedlist, rather than as a separate domain. I won't be tweeting about every new release (but if that's something you want, you can follow @linkedlistcomic for all updates).

It has come to my attention that the previous site layout was no longer acceptable. I don't see what the problem was, but I succumbed to the pressure and upgraded NP to the latest Cascaded Sheets and Hypertext Markups. "Before" photo attached. After: nerdparadise.com

How to draw a regular polygon in #PyGame: nerdparadise.com/programming/py… ...because your game needs more honey combs and stop signs. Or maybe you just wanted a 10-minute trigonometry refresher.

I like how I can retweet this one year later and: - It is still one of the newest tutorials posted - Your twitter feed is still filled with politics and End-of-Times-ful posts Actually, I don't like either of those :/ twitter.com/NerdParadise/s…

@ewornotloc Sure! I'll write it up. For now, you can use... def drawPoly(surf, sides, angle, x, y, radius): pts=[ ] for i in range(sides): pts.append([ int(x+radius*math.cos(angle+6.28*i/sides)), int(y+radius*math.sin(angle+6.28*i/sides))]) pygame.draw.polygon(surf,(255,0,0),pts)

@Sehaj13Singh It is costing me dozens of dollars per year. Dozens!

@tsd_2017 Don't get too comfortable. A new Web 1.1 layout is coming soon.

If you need a quick breather from all the politics/End-of-Times in your twitter feed, there's a new NP tutorial up: nerdparadise.com/programming/cs…

@NerdParadise Blake I love it, I love you, this makes me so happy

The new site is up! nerdparadise.com featuring a sleek new web 1.0 design.
